Slightly better then Bose.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Really love these. Replaced my Bose QC35. I would say the Bose are a little more comfortable. But the Sony's have better ANC and more features. Both really good head phones , can't go wrong with either in my opinion. But I am really happy with these.

Best headphones on the market
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It was between these and the Bose 700 and these definitely take the cake. Noise canceling is amazing and the on ear detection is great. Tons of little things as well such as auto turn off whenever you put them in the case or if they are off of your ears for 15 minutes.
