Bose QC Earbuds Vs AirPods Pro Vs Sony WF-1000XM3 Vs Sennheiser Momentum TW 2

There are plenty of great truly wireless hero

earbuds

to choose from, but the premium anc

earbuds

market is really starting to heat up. First, we got the Sony WF-

1000xm3

, then we got the Airpods Pro, shortly after that we got the Sennheiser Momentum Two, and then. Some delays in the name change, we finally got the Bose QC headphones. There are more ANC headphones on the market now, but these are the most popular, so if you're thinking about purchasing any of these headphones, let's see which one is right for you. Now, when it comes to price, the Sony WF-

1000xm3

are the most affordable here, but they are also the oldest.

They retail for $230, but usually like to go on sale for $178 these days. the

airpods

pro retail for 250 the

bose

qc headphones retail for 280 and then there are the

sennheiser

impulse twos which retail for three hundred dollars now if you want to purchase any of these headphones they will be linked below and If you want to learn more about any of these earbuds, check out their full reviews because now we'll just go over their main differences, as with any pair of truly wireless earbuds, for me the first thing we have. I have to look at this case now, I clearly said that the

airpods

pro has the smallest and most convenient case here.

This case is small, it slides in and out of your pocket very easily and you barely notice it when you have it in your pocket. I know for comparison, this case is a little bigger than the Airpods case and the Galaxy Budget Live case, while all of these other cases are a little bigger for me. The Momentum 2 case is the largest which I will say is acceptable. but the Sony and Moses cases are too large to be acceptable. Both cases take up a huge amount of space and are significantly thicker than the Airpods Pro case, so they are very noticeable when you have them in your pocket, I admit.

The Impulse 2 case is as thick as the Bose QC headphones case, but its saving grace is for sure its smaller size, but I personally think Sennheiser knows they have to reduce the size of their case and I have high hopes for it. the future impulse. 3 because the Momentum 2 headphones actually fit inside the new CX400 BTS case, which is significantly smaller, but nevertheless, when it comes to the case, the Airpods Pro are the transparent window that Sennheiser shares just manages to pass, but Bose and Sony act together because these cases are too big for 2020, however, the Sony ones manage to justify their rather large case by having a combined battery life of 32 hours if you use them with active noise cancellation disabled and with active noise cancellation On, these headphones had a combined battery life of 24 hours, the Sennheiser also somewhat justify their rather large case by having a combined battery life of 28 hours and the airpods pro have a combined battery life of 24 hours, but unfortunately the

bose

qc headphones do not justify this. large case by having a combined battery life of only 18 hours, now this case has wireless charging which is something Sony and Sennheiser don't have but the airpods pro also have wireless charging and have a significantly smaller case so Overall the bose qc earbuds really lack in combined battery life and case size ratio while all of these other earbuds have acceptable combined battery life for headphones in 2020.

But without a doubt, the airpods pro have the more convenient case here for everyday carry but now let's talk about fit because all of these headphones fit very differently now I really feel like the Bose are the best fitting headphones here and you can wear these headphones for hours and hours without any problem now these headphones don't actually fit into your ear canals. They largely just rest right outside, so they're a great option for people who aren't big fans of long-session in-ear headphones for youngsters like me, and thanks to their very large curtains, they still do a very good job. . to create a seal and block out ambient noise and thanks to their built-in earbuds, these earbuds stay in place very well after you've put them on, you barely have to go back and readjust them, something you have to do constantly. the airpods pro now the airpods pro are in your earbuds but they don't actually go into your ear canal very deep, they just rest right outside of it, so they are very shallow, but because they are so shallow they like to constantly move out, so you have to constantly go back and push them in, but again, these are a little more comfortable than typical in-ear headphones.

Now the Moment Two fit like your typical pair of in-ear headphones, they sit in your ear canals and a decent amount unlike the airpods pro, but unlike the aeropods pro, they don't move as much, so they do a better job By staying in place now you can wear them for long periods of time but for me it does get itchy after a while but that's the case with any pair of headphones but other than that the Momentum 2 fits very well but then There are the Sonys. Now I'm not the biggest fan of how the Sonys fit specifically because these headphones go in very deep. your ear canal, which feels very unnatural, but overall when it comes to fit, I think the bose are the most comfortable headphones here, followed by the

sennheiser

s airpods pro and then the

sony

, but aesthetically I should point out that these headphones They are huge when I use them. look at the bose qc headphones, they remind me of those huge bluetooths from the 2000s.

Now when it comes to bluetooth connectivity, both the airpods pro and

sony

have earbuds where each earbud establishes a connection with your phone, so If you only want to use one earbud at a time, you can use either one, it doesn't matter and this is the type of connection we like to see these days, while both Sennheiser and Bose use a hero in companion configuration, so that one earbud is the hero earbud in this case if the right earbud actually establishes a connection with your phone and then transmits that connection to the left earbud, so if you only want to use one earbud at a time you need to use the correct earbud or , in this case the right earbud, but more importantly when it comes to watching movies or videos on your phone, all of these earbuds have zero latency across the board, whether you're using an iPhone or an Android device, which is always great, but when it comes to audio codecs, the bose qc and sony airpods pro headphones.

They all only use spc and aac, while the Sennheisers support sbc aac and aptx, but now let's talk about listening to music with these headphones, put plainly, if you are trying to decide between any of these headphones and sound is your main priority, then the airpods pro are the last ones you want to use compared to all these other headphones, the airpods pro sound super tight and their bass doesn't resonate as much as these other headphones and since these headphones like to put emphasis on the mids, They have a bit of a voice forward don't get me wrong they do the job but they don't sound as good as these other headphones, personally for me I only use the airpods pro to watch videos or listen to podcasts with but then there are the bose qc headphones and i think they are a step up from the airpods pro, like the airpods pro, the bose qc headphones like to put emphasis on the mids, but these even have a little more forward voice than the airpods, but a Unlike the airpods, the arcs are a little more open and the bass on these headphones resonates quite a bit, but unfortunately, unlike these sonys or sennheisers, the bose ones don't have an adjustable equalizer, you're stuck with the stock equalizer that bose offers.

You personally think it would behoove Bose to add an adjustable equalizer to their headphones because they recently added an adjustable equalizer to their bose nc700. For me personally, I just want to dial back the mids on these headphones, but next up is Sony. wf-1000xm3s and this is where things start to get serious performance wise, these headphones have much better instrument separation and a much wider soundstage than the airpods pro and bose qc headphones, which is why the sony sound Much more open and the bass of the Sonys resonate. more than the bass on the bose and unlike the bose the sony have a fully customizable equalizer so you can make them sound however you want, if you want the vocals to come forward with a sound signature like the airpods pro or bose on the sony, you can do it or if you want an equalizer with more bass then you can also do it or if you just want a balanced sound signature then you can always use the original Sony equalizer with the Sony one.

Not only will you get better sound quality, but you will also get a lot. more freedom to choose but finally there is the Sennheiser Momentum Two and these headphones raise the bar, as I mentioned in the past these are my favorite sounding headphones, these headphones have the best instrument separation and the widest soundstage here, so they sound better. more open, but what really makes these headphones stand out is that they have the cleanest and deepest resonant bass here, which is why these headphones may give you goosebumps. Now I personally only use these headphones with their original equalizer because their original equalizer is very balanced with well defined. punchy mids and bass, but if you want, you can always customize the EQ of these headphones to your liking and I'm just saying that if you are someone who really likes bass in your music, then these headphones can offer more bass than the Sony ones. and sound quality aside, the Sennheisers also have the best multimedia controls here directly from the headphones themselves, you can play positive music, you can skip a track, you can go back a track, you can switch between active noise cancellation and ambient mode, and you can even turn the volume up or down by simply pressing and holding either earbud.

Now the Sonys also have very good multimedia controls and you can do almost everything the Sennheisers can do, except you can't adjust the volume from the headphones if you want to. To adjust the volume with these headphones you will have to sacrifice media playback controls or ambient sound controls, while in comparison both the bose qc headphones and airpods pro have quite limited media controls, but if you are an iPhone user having always listening to Siri on the airpods pro makes up for its limited media controls because with the europass pro it could just be like remembering this or that or sending this or that text and boom, that's it, but now let's talk about the active noise cancellation on these headphones now i feel comfortable saying that the bose qc headphones block out the most noise here and when it comes to ranking i would go bose sennheiser airpods pro and last would be sony now the bose are' They don't block out much more noise than the sennheiser or the Airpods Pro, which are neck and neck, but they do block out a little more noise now.

I want to lower expectations here. None of these European headphones will block out nearly as much noise. as a proper pair of over-ear headphones like the bose nc700 or the sony 1000xm4s, but the bose qc headphones block out an impressive amount of noise for the headphones, however, I should point out that these headphones have a little more carbon pressure than all of these other headphones and at times they made me feel a little nauseous, which hasn't been a problem with any of these other headphones, but as I've mentioned in the past, I only use the active noise cancellation on any of my headphones when I have to. and what's really important to me is a decent ambient mode.

Now, for the most part, all of these headphones have a decent ambient mode that sounds very natural with no background rushing, except for the Bose ones, which like to develop a slight hiss. the background if you turn up the ambient mode too much, ultimately we're just splitting hairs here, but these are premium anc headphones, so you know, I have to point it out, but when it comes to blocking out wind noise when walking outside, all these microphone sets do. It's a very good job of blocking out wind noise, but the airpods pro do the best job here of rejecting wind noise in situations where you might get hit by a gust of wind with any of these other earbuds, they'll actually pick up that wind noise.

In that same scenario, the Airpods Pro will still reject you. I don't know personally. I just find it pretty impressive, but finally here's the microphone test. Now all of these headphones have varying degrees of performance, but I think the Sony ones. I have the worst performing microphone here nowin a silent room. My voice sounds good enough for a quick phone call and luckily this microphone doesn't have much amplification, but my voice sounds pretty muffled and hollow. The Bose too. They don't have much amplification, but they sound a little cooler. I think the airpods pro sound good but they have a little more amplification and then there are the Sennheisers which have the most amplification here but I still think they sound pretty good for phone calls but when it comes to blocking conversations this is a area where both professional and PC headsets struggle.

With both headphones you can clearly hear a lot of background conversation, while with the Sennheisers they do a decent job of blocking out conversations given how much they like to amplify your voice and when it comes to blocking out conversations with the Sony, my voice is super mixed in with all the chat, but you know, I wouldn't really take phone calls with these earbuds in a noisy environment, but just for comparison, if these are the live Galaxy Buds and they do a much better job of blocking out chat because if We switch to the Mother Apollo microphone, you will hear everything clearly. of this talk, but if we were to go back to the galactic bus live, it would be very narrow, but all that being said, if you're trying to choose between any of these headphones, for me, it really comes down to two options, if you're an iPhone user If you are looking for maximum comfort, then the obvious choice is the AirPods Pro and AirPods Pro.

They have the smallest, most convenient case here with a combined 24-hour battery life and wireless charging, they have the best Ambient Mode here, and having Siri always listening makes it super easy to make calls, text, and more with just your voice and the active noise cancellation on these headphones is also good, however they pale in comparison to the sound quality, so for me I only use these headphones to watch videos, listen to podcasts or take phone calls, but these are my favorite headphones for when I'm running errands, but if your main concern here is sound, then you should go for the Sennheiser Momentum Two.

These headphones really sound amazing because of how open they sound and the super deep, booming bass. These headphones sound so good that they may actually be viable. alternative to a pair of over-ear headphones and when it comes to active noise cancellation, these headphones manage to block out a little more noise than the airpods pro, but now I'll mainly attribute that to the better sealing of the impulse 2, although now I prefer running errands with the Airpods Pro due to their smaller case, you can still carry the two Momentums with you, but then there are the Bose QC headphones and the Sony WF-1000xm3, although the Bose QC headphones are the best fit. headphones here and they manage to block out the most noise here, it's not a huge difference from the impulse two or airpods pro and it's certainly not a big enough performance difference to force me to compromise with the headphones' huge case bose qc and since the bose have a combined battery life of 18 hours, which is simply unacceptable for a case this size these days when it comes to headphones, I am looking for maximum comfort and case size and battery life.

The battery plays a big role in that, but then there's the Sony WF-1000xm3s, although this case is quite large, they help justify it by having a combined battery life of up to 32 hours, although they block out the slightest amount of noise here, at the same time. less they have a very good ambient mode which I feel is more important and these headphones also sound much better than the airpods pro and bose qc, so although these would not be my first choice if you are on a budget and can get them at selling for $178, I say why not, if you made it this far?
