The Best Noise Cancelling Headphones... Bose or Sony?

it's time for a little showdown what's going on with

noise

cancellation wireless

noise

cancellation that's what people are upgrading to this what humans want to know block out the environment you could create could they do their thing these two guys right here Then , the conversation focused on these two models, so I thought, these are the ones that have to compete head to head at the moment: the WH 1000x m3 and we also have the Quiet Comfort 35 when it comes to noise cancellation, the first experience of most people. It's probably through a Bose QuietComfort product, but Sony has a legitimate rival here in the form of the m3.

I have to get to the bottom of this with a 30 hour battery life with noise cancellation on compared to 20 for the Bose product. That said, the Bose product is a bit lighter, they stopped charging now which is one of the reasons to upgrade if you have an older set, so in the case of Sony, here you can turn a 10 minute charge into five hours of listening time. One of the main drawbacks of wireless

headphones

in the past is lessened now with these really short charging times and they also support voice assistance. Google Assistant is built into both.

Can I get a price update? This should be close to the QC 35. Right now via the link below they probably cost 300 bucks while you're looking at this, the m3 on the other hand is a bit more expensive, around 350, some paperwork and then everything The rest is in this carrying case user manual at the top. get the app, turn on your

headphones

and everything else is in this carrying case, holy crap the travel size is actually pretty similar, kind of a mesh and thread design, this one is like a faux leather and then a pocket central Prine, so as if they really were and then a loop here and a loop here they go head to head ladies and gentlemen Alcantara padded headband small bag on this side a cable is also included both headphones can work with a 2.5 cable millimeters on the part that connects to the headset three point five millimeters on a part that connects to the audio source, so type C is available at Sony, but it is micro USB with fast charging at Bose.

The interesting thing you will notice about Bose are touch buttons. Physical volume up and down buttons and a dedicated assistant button are apparently using a new, more robust material, so they should resist wear and tear and hair a little better. I like how this is not a button but a switch and when you turn it on, it immediately goes into Bluetooth pairing mode. Well, there is the Sony cable, in this case it is a little more robust, both three point five. Replacing this cable will be a little easier than this big type C fan. I'll give that advantage to the On the Sony side, the airline adapter, this is a little uncommon these days, they're usually on the plane if you need an experience of unboxing and I may have to give it to Sony, you know, that doesn't actually feel as heavy as I expected.

Getting the difference in numbers on paper, it still feels very light, it doesn't have a ton of buttons or switches here, you can see it has the NFC logo there, there is a dedicated power button, but it's very similar to the ambient switch or noise cancellation. I like to have a dedicated switch, this will quickly give you access to ambient noise if you want to listen to it. Type C connector over here and also an LED light which is a nice little touch. They are actually touch-controlled volume controls. Play pause. You can answer. a phone call and you can also skip tracks forward and backward.

You can also hold the palm of your hand over the top of the earpiece, which will then mute the sound of your music and allow you to hear a person speaking to you so you can quickly tell. you walk to Starbucks you order a drink quickly you put your hand on it it's nice it's better than having to take off your headphones it's comfortable it's lightweight without having them on and having the noise cancellation feature enabled they are still eliminating a lot of ambient noise. One thing I look for with headphones is how much they squeeze me so that this is not too much.

I feel like I could wear them for hours and hours, uh, passively. these don't block as much they are comfortable the headrest is a little less wide a little more pressure just comfort without even hearing them I'll probably give it to the Bose right now these come off and fold like This is like this when you take them out of the case you do like this, Sony folds the other way, so you have to fold them and then turn them. See what I'm saying, maybe there's a reason for that, but it's worth noting. guys, you will do the first simple setup of the Bo.

I turn them on and they ask me to pair them immediately, drag to connect. This is in reference to the voice assistant, which appears to be accessed via this button on the side, oh wow, full noise cancellation. effect now it's fine, so when you press the button it tells you the time it tells you if you have any notifications it says you don't have any new notifications now if you had them it would read them to you, you don't have to go get them your phone what is the population of Toronto they quickly said 2.7 million you hold it and the nice thing it does when you talk to the assistant is it allows you to hear your own voice so the microphones on the outside pick up your voice so there are Here are a few different settings for noise cancellation.

It's in high mode right now. I can't hear anything right now while I'm talking to you. Okay, so let's go ahead and play some music. Hmm, Jack, you know this song. It has a classic look. So make some noise Curt, let me see if I can hear you man, that's a clue, even though noise cancellation is crushing right now, it's destroying the world right now, it's amazing, Kirk was talking there, turn, attracts, forget it, I didn't hear anything. just sound of moving lips I'm not going to talk about it yet give me a second here okay now let's get the Sony app and do a quick comparison oh wow Google assistant figured it out right away tap to connect okay so integration here with The Wizard is crazy.

I didn't even need to get the app. I mean, I'll also take one hundred percent of the battery out of the box. Jaci. A couple of points. Give him a couple points for that. Alright. Wow, okay, here's your app. control the noise cancellation oh my gosh that's crazy okay so it gives you control over the environment based on your circumstances and they give you these images to distinguish what the activity might be guys looks wise these don't look so good, right? Jack is actually giving the look to these. I thought because they were a little bit bigger, you might not like the look as much, but you don't really realize that these two of us have two votes here for these Wilkin and saw the bows whose look does. you like it better okay, wow, that's three votes for these in appearance, the configurability is extreme.

I can go in here and toggle the amount of ambient sound. I come here. I couldn't do that here if you're the type that likes to wear these. on public transportation you know they announce different stops and all that, if you have the ambient sound control on it blocks out some things but lets others in, oh my god the noise cancellation goes on full blast say something Kirk. Oh, interesting, I can hear you. adaptive sound control knows I'm staying Wow, so it knows I'm not moving right now it has mostly noise cancellation, that's pretty clever look at this, it's been optimized based on small details including atmospheric pressure, noise control sound position, how cool I can change the sound stage there is a surround virtualizer there is an equalizer this is a much more complete app from a customization settings point of view oh honey if I just cover this headset the microphones are fully powered up to my head, oh my God, and it's instant too.

We might have some contenders, yeah, I mean, you listen to music, but this mutes the music, but I can have a conversation and we still have Phil Collins underneath barely there, at that moment and then it's like this, he's back, he's back, wait, it's not us. We're not talking yet, wait, wait, okay, look, I mean, maybe you can tell from my reaction, maybe not. I feel like it's a step up in sound quality, holy shit, it's a crush factory right there at the base, like I want to blow your mind, clear a quick point from Jack, he says they're more sealed, less sound bleed substantially.

I mean, having the equalizer built in allows you to really adjust the sound performance of these as well and just all the other settings attributes in the app for Sony is pretty crazy, along with the fact that the way you interact with it with a double tap or palm on the top of the earbud to have a quick conversation, ambient mode is a crazy package, one thing I like about the Bose is the slightly smaller earbud, this is a really tough choice, they don't sound bad , we're talking about something fringe going on here and you may or may not hear it as much as I do, it's obvious to me. that these are the

best

sounding headphones of the two.

I think the noise cancellation here works a little better at full capacity. You really can't go wrong with any of these, but if I go out and get $300 or $350 for this. It's where I'm going now. You can let me know in the comments which one you would choose from these two if it were your choice. Any of these will do, but you want my choice to go this way.
