Apparently in tests the new Sony’s are slightly better NC than the Bose, but I tested them in a store and preferred the audio quality of my Bose QCs and couldn’t personally tell a difference in NC.

I couldn’t live without my Bose QCs and they go everywhere with me. You don’t realise how much noise there is in day to day life until you’ve worn some good NC headphones around for a while then forgotten to take them with you one day.

I'm the same. I kind leave the house without my BOSE headphones. THey make just walking about outside, or the office or public transport bareable.

I don't know what I'm going to do when they break as they don't make spare parts for my model anymore. I tried their wireless equivalent and just wasn't that impressed with the audio quality compared to my wired ones.

Noise and stimulation pollution is a thing. I play brown noise most of the time in my noise cancelling headphones. Love it.
Thanks for the input!
