So if you’ve been watching me for awhile, you know that I generally like Sony’s ANC headphones lineup. All of their headphones sound good, they fit well, and they’re featured packed. However depending on your needs… you’ll be better off with one over the others. So today we’re going to be breaking down Sony’s ANC headphone line up as of late 2021. We’ve got the recently released XB910N’s, the 1000XM4’s, and the WH-CH710N.
So if you’ve been watching me for awhile you know that I love recommending the Sony WH-XB900N’s. Now technically these headphones are geared towards bass heads… but regardless these are just a solid pair of mid tier ANC headphones you just can’t go wrong with. And now we have the updated Sony WH-XB910N’s which have some notable upgrades over the XB900N’s. Now overall the XB910N’s are a solid pair of mid tier ANC headphones… but there are some things that I prefer from the XB900N’s over the XB910N’s. But nonetheless lets see what the XB910N’s are all about… and lets see if its worth upgrading if you already have the XB900N’s.
So these are the Jabra Elite 3’s… they’re Jabra’s newest entry level truly wireless earbuds. And overall… I really can’t complain about these guys. They have a decently small case which is great for everyday carry, they have a long combined battery life which is great for convenience, and they have an ambient mode which is great for commuters. Overall the elite 3’s are solid.
So the Bose QC45’s are a decent pair of premium ANC headphones. However, their stand out characteristic is just their comfort. And for some people comfort is their main deciding factor… and I don’t blame them. However, the Sennheiser PXC 500 2’s are also a pair of very comfortable premium ANC headphones. Now I feel the PXC 550 2’s are due for an upgrade… but I think they can still hang.
If you’re looking into getting a pair of ANC headphones… then chances are you’re probably looking into getting something from Bose. Now both the NC 700’s and QC45’s are great headphones… however these headphones are very different from one another. They look, fit, and perform very differently. So lets see which one is right for you
So the highly anticipated Bose QC45’s are finally here. Now overall the Bose QC45’s are a great pair of headphones to consider… but they really excel when it comes to their comfort. But today we’re going to see how the QC45’s stack up to the Sony 1000XM4’s… and I’m also going to lightly compare them to the Sony XB900N’s… cause the XB900N’s are on their way out cause the XB910N’s are finally here as well.
So these are the Bose QC45’s… now I’ll be honest I thought we were never going to get these headphones cause after the Bose NC 700’s came out I thought Bose was going to go in a new direction with their headphones. But I guess the QC35’s proved to be such a cult classic that bose ended up caving in. Now overall the QC45’s are good and they definitely deliver… but these headphones are rather peculiar, and I feel that bose is holding the QC45’s back a little bit.
So like I said in the full review I did not see the Sennheiser CX Plus coming… but I am really glad that they are here. For me these are my top pick earbuds if your main priority is sound in this price range. But today we are going to compare the CX Plus to what I feel are their most direct and more popular competitors… the Galaxy Buds 2 and Beats Studio Buds.
