Sony XM4 > Bose 700 > Apple AirPod Max
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I tried / tested all 3. These. Are. Superior. I fully realize that sound quality (and even ANC) can be subjective / matter of personal taste. However, I find it difficult to believe that anyone would rank these differently.

SONY “BEATS” the competition - Worth the $$$
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you are going to spend the money on headphones, these are worth the money. There is no competition, they are better than Beats & Bose easily. Beats are extremely uncomfortable, these fit over the ear really well and can be worn all day.
