So the Bose Soundlink Max is a very premium feeling speaker, I really appreciate that it still has an audio jack and I like that you can use its USB C port to charge your own devices. However relative to its size and price and overall performance, I feel the Bose Soundlink Max is over priced and hard to justify. But today we’re going to see how the Bose Soundlink Max stacks up to both the JBL Boombox 3 and Sony ULT 7 which aren’t far off from the Bose Soundlink Max.
So these are the Sony ULT Wear and these are Sony’s new Mid tier ANC Headphones for mid 2024. Now over all, these are a solid pair of mid teir ANC headphones and you really cant go wrong with them. But today we’re going to compare the Sony ULT wear to Bose’s Mid teir ANC headphones, the Bose QC headphones and we’re also going to be throwing in the Bose QC Ultra for good measure. So if you’re trying to choose between the Sony ULT wear and either of Bose’s QC headphones, lets see which ones are right for you.
So the Bose QC headphones are Bose’s mid tier ANC headphones which as the name suggests, they are very comfortable to wear, and they have slightly improved active noise cancelation of their predecessor. But today we’re going to see how they compare to both the Sony 1000XM5 and the Sony 1000XM4’s. Can Bose keep up with Sony… not so much.
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.
