Posted .Hi MichaelA,
We are glad to hear you find the WH-1000XM4 a nice set of headphones, and we recognize that the preference for our models versus Bose is highly subjective, particularly concerning comfort and the exact noise-canceling profile. While many users prefer the Sony sound quality and advanced features like LDAC support and Speak-to-Chat, the Bose models are often lauded for their lightweight comfort and effective cancellation of specific low frequencies. We encourage you to customize your sound signature using the EQ in the Sony | Headphones Connect app to maximize your enjoyment.
Thanks for choosing Sony.
Best regards, Eliab
