Sony or Bose headphones? 🫣

I’m not self proclaiming to be an audiophile and all reviews are entirely my own 🤭

I ended up purchasing the Bose QC35 in silver! Been using it for more than a year and I can happily say that the silver finishing still looks as good! But I usually store them in the box once I’m done 😄

I have had the Bose 700 for a while now! (2 years) I am so pleased with them and they are amazing. I’m kind of a headphone lover and these please me and I don’t plan to change them at all.
If you buy them, don’t buy silver. I had them first and the outer layer became yellow after a few months and had to talk to the insurance company to change them to black. I had black for about a year, maybe more and no problems!
Have been using them every day so the ear pads need change, but it’s worth it. Sometimes I even forget they are on my head, that’s how comfortable they are.
Really like them!

The real question is, where can you go to try on headphones like Beyerdynamic?

DO NOT GET THE SENHEISER 350BT - I had them and the power buttons jammed. Got a refund a few months later as they had warranty. Really didnt expect that issue from them. This is a known issue with the 350BT

This is a funny experience but before I didn't like Billie Eilish, but one day my father gave me BOSE headphones and since that day I really like her music, it's a thousand times more enjoyable, so I understand why you chose them (I'm from another country, sorry if this message is hard to understand)

I recommend you the hoco w35 headphones! Very powerful!

A part of me dies everytime I see the term “viral ticktock..” smh

I have Bose and have gifted a pair to a friend we both love them the sound quality is great it feels amazing and we had them for about 1 and a half years and there still working so that’s what I recommend but get what your heart desires ❤

wait for the holidays there will be be a lot of deals. Sonys are great but you have to tweak the equalizer to make them sound the way you like. The bose are great out of the box and are so comfortable. Personally I have the bose QC45 which are now on sale for $225, they are so comfortable and sounds great out of the box.

even the sony 1000mx4 is good, being able to adjust sound quality, ambient sound control, comfortable without being hot, and tuning the customization is great too. the only issue i have with mine is that they are a tad big

[whippedculture]

Bose 700 was 3 years in the market already but still expensive 🥲

Not too much experience but I'll throw the soundcore space Q45's in, just bought em and they have many great reviews. From what I've read they are the best wireless anc headphones in their price class (I paid 120€)

[danhtranthanh]

I recommend Bose QC 35 II/45, Sony WH-1000Xm5 and Sennheiser Momentum 4

[urmoonlitup]

Here's what I think so you can choose (but it will still be up to you 😁):

If you value more on comfortness, go for the BOSE
If you value more on the sound quality, go for the SONY (and I think SONY have longer battery life?)

but they have both good sound quality, but I've read a lot that SONY have better bass than BOSE others vice versa (I'm not a sound expert or sound nerd😅) though, maybe depending on the persons hearing

That' all! Let me know your opinions✨

(btw, here's what I prioritize in considering buying a wireless headphone:
1. Comfortness
2. Foldable
3. Long battery life
4. Sound quality
(i mostly prioritize and look for these 4)

5. ANC (it's okay to me whether a headphone has ANC or NOT 😁)

Unfortunately the Bose ones are out of my budget, and I found the Sony ones for a pretty good price (especially with Afterpay/similar services) so I think I’m gonna go with the Sony ones! And yes def reddit reviews > tiktok reviews

[NoKozi]

if you are an android user: get the sony XM5, due to its LDAC Capabilities, its able to produce 3x the sound quality of the bose pair, and the equalizer can fix the sound!

if you are a apple user: anything, i guess

and yes i know this is like, 9 months old

[JOEAPPLE]

It's really hard to find a headphone with your hair going between to your ears, so far XM series had the best out there

[EterneM]

any sennheiser with that same comfort design (350-450) should be a crime. they are incredibly uncomfortable. sound design is flat and has a lot of hissing. i mean, A LOT of hissing.

they have connectivity issues, power button becomes mushy after long-time use and sometimes just straight-up doesn't work.

mine broke about an hour ago by simply just randomly deciding "yeah im not doing this anymore" and turning off.

[Riley.Miller.]

I use JBL 710s and they are great (they are kind of uncomfy whey you lay down with them on but that goes for all headphones) they also only cost about 60-80 dollars

Also want to mention I’ve owned my Bose QC35lls since 2019 and over time I noticed they get very loose and when you move the parts around that are adjustable like the headband the ear cups they make little click sounds, idk that is but when they were brand new they didn’t make these sounds and we’re not as loose. Also the Aux Cord that comes with it is absolutely Shit like you pay around $200-250 for a good pair of Headphones and it comes with a shit Aux Cord. So overtime I noticed I’m very careful with my things these were never beaten around or anything like that well damn good taken care of. I got them through Amazon for a little cheaper they were originally around $250 and I got them for $110. So I guess a little discount or something. And after using the shitty Aux cord that comes with them I use them both for gaming on my PS4 Pro and comfort aka Wireless listening. So I noticed the included cord made the headphones over time as I went to turn up and down the volume on my PS4 headphone setting they make a little pop sound and it happens all the time now I don’t get mad or throw fits while gaming I’m very careful with them. And anytime I go to turn up the volume or down there’s that little pop sound. So okay I thought it was the shit cable that came with them threw that out then bought a better sturdy and more durable cable through Amazon and I literally bought this cable like 4 weeks ago and it’s brand new never been used Also a little longer than the stock cable. So I think the headphones are going out which suck’s honestly they weren’t cheap. I will take any different recommendations that have really good Bass and are very durable. Also ones that are a little more cheaper than the Bose that are as close and good as the Bose!..
