    So the Bose QC Ultra headphones are a very impressive of premium ANC Headphones that block out a ton of noise, they’re comfortable to wear for hours on end and they have a decently small case which is great for traveling. However they do have their issues and short comings. Nonetheless, today we’re going to compare the Bose QC Ultra to the Sony 1000XM5’s and the Sony 1000XM4’s. Is bose back on top and is Bose worth the premium? I don’t think so.

    After spending most of my day watching and reading reviews and comparing the Bose and Sony product lines, your video was very helpful. You demonstrated every feature I was interested in and reviewed three of the four models I was looking at, in a single video. This was informative and well-researched
    . Thanks for the help.

    Pretty nice comparison. I figured out that everything comes down to personal preferances. I had the opportunity to test all of the three headphones side by side. And for my head and ears the xm5 fits the best. The ANC worked the best with the noise level in the shop with the XM5. The soundstage is a tiny bit better on the XM4 than the others. The pricing is pretty interesting on the Sonys. You can get them much lessthan the original retail price. I piced the XM5 for about 300€ at this shop. I replaced my 6 years old QC35II and im happy with it.

    Best review asusual, I wish more viewing numbers.
    And if you want to answer, my question is, when I tried Bose QC 35 I was surprised that noise cancelling decreased when my head moves right and left, on comparison with Sony no matter my head turns any side, noise cancelling stay still.
    Also wind made terrible noise for Bose whereas Sony had zero issues with wind.
    Did you have any wind noise issue and fluctuating noise cancelling with moving for Bose?

I do have a Mommentum 4 right now but feel like the bass is sometimes too much and the mid range is lacking....somehow too much makeup on that range although I have tried many EQ combinations. I wonder what is your opinion moving from those to the new Bose Ultra..... and yes; the price is of course a downside for Bose

    This was a very good review. I bought Sony xm5 and Bose quietcomfort last month so I could try them out. Bose does a great job with ANC but I hated the cabin pressure, didn't think it was because of the ANC. After watching your video I now understand why I was kinda irritated even being quite happy with the noise canceling. Sony xm5 are too big and bulky for me, when I shake my head a little they kinda come off which I hate but I personally prefer xm5 more cause the sound is a little more loud and the bass is more there. You can even add extra bass boost in the app. I experienced a lot of connection issue with Bose and their app so using its features can be a challenge. I love that you can take bose's ear pads off, kinda shame that sony is not making that possible cause I know after few years those ear pads will go bad. Bose is giving me more durability than sony if I have to be honest. But when it comes to sound quality I prefer Sony. without a doubt.
    I also hate that they are not water resistant, like sweating during the summer can be a thing to worry when you use them.
    Right now I am not sure which one I should choose. But maybe I should give xm4 a try to make a better decision.
    Thank you for your review, I understand these headphones way better now.

    I have been looking for a replacement for my PXC550 for one year. I will share here a personal experience with the 1000XM5. Around this time last year I got myself a pair of XM5 only to return them 3 days later. The headphones would just keep turning themselves off randomly. They would play a 2-3s high pitch buzzing sound and then they would simply shut down. This is, apparently, a frequent enough problem to merit having its own reddit thread, which makes me think SONY's quality control has seen better days.
    I was thinking on getting a pair of QC Ultras this black friday. Since I value your unbiased opinion my question is, have you experienced any quality control issue while using the BOSE QC ultras? I find very few reviewers reporting quality control issues or bugs and since my bad experience with the XM5 I find this could be a good thing to start including in reviews for the benefit of the end consumer.
    keep up the good work :)

    Hey!
    I recently got the Bose Quietconfort Ultra and their volume is ok but it doesn't give me that punch that i could picture in my mind before i got them even at high volume.
    This is my first headphones, i have experience with true wireless with bose quietconfort earbuds first generation and the volume, the bass and the punch Is soooo cool. So that's why i picked the Bose headphones.
    The Momentum 4 was my boy for a long time but finally i decided for the Bose because i have the QC Earbuds 1st generation and they are my sunshine haha.
    But as i said, the volume in the Bose headphones ones is not as loud as the earbuds and that makes me wonder sennheiser Momentum 4 sounds louder? I just want to know if i decided correctly 🥺 My priority is the volume anyways.
    PS: I know the sound quality in the M4's are better than Bose. I don't considerate myself as an audiophile, i just enjoy to listen music with these features: Volume, Bass, Punch and a good sound quality.

I now wonder if the "cabin pressure" you describe with the Bose might translate to less sound leakage. But it's a big price tag to find out :-/

    Of all the bose currently in the market I believe the QC 45 is an absolute steal especially if you get them refurbished from the bose website now for $159, or wait for black friday.
    The Ultra could be better : battery (sennheiser momentum 4 has 60hrs I own two of them) , microphone and price ( too high)
    The QC is only a minor upgrade vs the qc45 but it’s also overpriced.

    Bought the Bose qc ultras and the xm4s. After a couple hours or so with testing, I had to return the ultras. I initially thought it would be the other way around because of the immersive audio on the Bose, but I agree it was gimmicky. The sound quality worsened with it activated. In my opinion, the Sonys sounded better especially the lows with the better bass. Made the music feel more alive , less flat. Also, I feel as if the music streaming service played a crucial role, as I stream on tidal with hifi plus max sound quality, paired with the 360 reality audio optimized for the xm4s, that sounded unbelievable. So worth the 250 bucks you’ll spend.

    @ThomasLeichardt 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

    No one seems to mention that the Bose QC Ultras have a much higher noise floor, as in white noise or hiss, with the ANC on and no audio playing. The Sony XM5s are dead quiet with ANC on and no audio playing. So if you want to block out outside noise but don’t want to play any audio, the XM5s give you that dead quiet peace. I can hear a constant hiss / white noise with the Bose when I don’t play any audio. And for me, there are times that I just want to focus in a quiet space and so I reach for the Sonys to block out the outside noise. Once I play music or audio on the Bose, the hiss disappears into the background but it is very noticeable without audio.

      Hello, please which of the sony you say that do not make background noise? the xm4 or xm5. Because the same thing happens to me in quiet environments with my xm4 that I have had for 3 years. I hear that hum from the first time and was thinking of switching to the xm5 or the bose qc ultra for this reason. I think it is a consequence of the pressure regulation that they do between the outside and inside of the ear and there are times that hurt because of that pressure. I was hoping to switch to the QC ultra but I see that they have that problem. Thank you

The XM5s are super quiet with ANC on and no audio. At any rate, glad I was able to help! I wish these reviewers would have let us know, I probably would not have gotten the QC Ultras had I known that.

      @kennedylareign The noise canceling is what people like about the 1000xm4 and 5's. I'm guessing 🤔 I think the sound is decent on the Sony 5's, but the volume isn't very loud. That bugs me ALOT! I as well wanted to return them. But i haven't. I don't think people realize that Bose created NC and does it 10 times better. The Bose Ultras have better sound quality. Obviously, these people are a bunch of Sony fan boys and gals Which is okay if you want the 2nd best sound and quality headphonss , lol

    Reviews show that Sony XM5 headphones don't last for 40 hours. NONE of Sony's products reach the advertised battery life. Further, 24 REAL hours of battery life vs. 40 hours of pretend battery life is NOT "struggling!" I notice you were too lazy to test the actual battery life of these products. And 18 REAL hours with the immersive audio is more than enough to last through the longest air flights and trips.
    NOBODY, no other review states that the XM4 audio quality is even close to the Bose QC Ultra.
    NOBODY, no other review states that the controls on the Bose are inferior to the Sony headphones. SEVERAL reviews state the the controls on the Bose headphones are BETTER than the Sony XM5s.
    "Cabin pressure ????" Are you kidding me? If I am on an airplane, I am experienced HUGE air pressure drops because of the fights are pressurized for 60,000 feet flights. My ears pop repeatedly. The LAST thing I am concerned about. The reason I buy ANC headphones is to cancel noise. I want the best noise canceling I can get. That is probably the most important function of these headphones, along with audio quality.
    EVERY review I have read or watched states that the ambient mode on the Bose QC Ultra headphones is better than the Sony XM5 headphones.
    The Bose QC Ultra headphones have amazing audio quality without the immersive audio turned on. Geez!
    You don't have to power the Bose QC headphones on to use a wired connection. Do your homework before you make incorrect statements. Hell, the NC 700s don't have to be powered on either with wired connections. You can turn them on to activate the noise canceling, but you don't have to.
