I compared them vs the QC35 I believe, and I loved that the noise cancelling in the Senn's were very good but also the audio quality was much better.
The QC35's had a pretty good sound, but it just lacked the "clarity" of the HD's.
The QC35s were a bit more comfortable and lightweight though, but since my primary use was the office I wasn't planning on putting on the headphones for more than 2 hours straight.
I have used the HDs for long flights and I do have to take them off after some time due to the weight and headphone cushion material.
They were also cheaper than the QC35s at the time, so all in all, for ny particular use case the HDs were fantastic. Also the battery is pretty good, especially if you use the audio cable + noise cancelling. I get several days of use that way.
I have Momentum 3 and I'm quite disappointed. Sound quality is cheap, I get headache & hot spots after a couple hours, and there are issues with stuttering (bluetooth) or completely cutting out (bluetooth, USB) as well as noise cancellation randomly turning off and sometimes music playback stopping. These are the first pair of headphones I need to reboot every once in a while. Also sometimes they connect in a weird state that gives very shitty sound quality, again resolved by reboot & reconnect... Sigh
Having to fold them to turn them off is just silly too.
Right?? Bose is fine but Sennheiser makes fantastic stuff. I have the PXC 550s and they are excellent. Well worth it, especially now you can get them for ~$200.
Strongly agree. I have had my PXC 550s for about 2 years now, and they have held together very well. In my opinion, they are comparable with the Bose and Sony flagship NC headphones.
