Sennheiser MOMENTUM 4 Wireless
1 of the 13 comments naming both come from people who say they own this one.
What owners love
- Best sound of the mainstream ANC sets according to several people; tuning is good enough that one owner never touched the EQ
- Around 60 hours of battery
- Better fit and finish than the Bose equivalent
The complaints
- Swipe controls are unintuitive
- Auto-pause and adaptive ANC did not work for one owner
- Noise cancelling is a step behind Sony and Bose; no mic-plus-audio over USB
- One AudioKarma member returned his for too much mid-bass

Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones (2nd Gen)
1 of the 13 comments naming both come from people who say they own this one.
What owners love
- The comfort choice: people who find Sony hot or tight land here
- Noise cancelling that many rate a notch above Sony
- The app EQ tames Bose's bass boost well
The complaints
- Bass-heavy out of the box
- Expensive; the older QC45 does most of the same job for less
- Some people get a pressure feeling or nausea from strong Bose noise cancelling
