So the Bose QC Ultra are a pair of headphones that are great for traveling cause they’re very comfortable to wear, they have very impressive active noise cancelation, and they have a very small case… and with immersive audio turned on, they sound very impressive… But the Sennheiser Momentum 4’s also sound very impressive, and they also have really good active noise cancellation. So today we’re going to compare the Bose QC Ultra’s to the Sennheiser Momentum 4’s and we’re going to see which ones are right for you.

Somehow you always got a comparison video I'm looking for 👍
Very good video I didn't know the Momentum 4 could be wired via USB-C for sound,. That's nice !
Primary quality we all need from headsets is quality sound..the rest is secondary and for that, I'd go with Momentum 4
As someone who cares about sound quality - Momentum4 is a great buy. They sound surprisingly good when comparing them to my open back wired headphones. I used to have Sony XM3s and tried QC35s. From memory - both of those sound so much worse compared to Momentum4. To me Momentum4 sounds like a good closed back headphone, while all other ANC headphones under 400 sound like a cheap headphone, but with a lot of features added to them to justify the price. In momentum4 I can still enjoy music, while with other ANC headphones that I tried - they can play music, but it’s not enjoyable.
It is exactly what I think. The M4 is so enjoyable and fun to listen, yes about ANC some are better, but sound quality should be a priority I think and the ANC of the M4 is still good enough. Plus the battery, the fact that it on / off automaticaly, the quality of the case etc ... at their price, it is impossible to find a high end headphone (because the M4 is high end quality) with a better quality / price ratio.
yeah the Bose do lack both depth and detail compared to Sennheiser but they do offer a good well rounded package if you're not an audiophile. Bose is better for average person and Sennheiser is better for Audiophiles but there aren't that many Audiophiles which is why Bose kills Sennheiser in sales. Basically Sennheiser failed to adopt to market shift and Bose capitalized on Sennheiser's mistake.
@@g1981c I guess it is also marketing, Bose is more "famous", lot of peoples know the brand, Sennheiser is more "niche". But for me it is way better about sound quality, no doubt about that. The only point where the Bose is very better is noise cancelling (pretty impressive on this), the M4 is just "good" for that.
I wish the volume was a bit louder.
@@letraderencartonI don’t know which one to get, I listen to music - metal a lot
Great comparison!!
You can also use the Momentum 4 (powered on) while they are charging. They really are superb for both battery life and sound quality in my opinion.
Great video and great comparative analysis. I have the Momentum 4 and love them. They are comfortable, sound great, great ANC and the battery lasts forever.
If anything that's the two points I always looks first when considering buying a new headphone.
I one month ago I had hard time to choose between the Bose, M4, Xm5 and PX7 s2, so I tried both. For me it is pretty easy : the Bose is better for anc (the M4 is good, but the Bose is the best in this category, even better than the XM5 for me) and the confort is a bit better than the M4, but the M4 is still pretty comfortable. For all other points, the M4 is way better for me, especially in sound quality, the M4 is superb. Build quality is better to. The sound of the M4 is so enjoyable, I tried the four headphones with songs I know the most, and the M4 is the headphone where I heard more details, all is clear, precise, it is so nice. The PX7 s2 is very good to, but more "analytics", less "fun". the Sony and bose are not close in sound quality. I ended buying the M4 and I am so happy with it. Oh and I forget, the battery of the M4 wow, they announce 60h and I think it is nearly real, it seems to last forever. So in my opinion if you love music and want sound quality, get the M4, if ANC is your priority, get the Bose (but in my opinion wait a bit because the price is really to high for what it offer).
Glad I read your comment. I’ve been going back and fourth between xm5 and m4. Brother has Bose but I felt the sound wasn’t as good as my xm4 earbuds. I think I’m going M4
@@juanvigil9145 well it is simple : the only thing the XM5 is better (a lot better I have to admit) is the Anc, but for all the rest M4 is really better, especially about sound quality, the M4 destroy the XM5 on this category. Plus, you can fin the M4 around 240€, it is an awesome bargain.
Ur review is soooo helpful to me😍👍🏾thx
is the price for the m4 good. or still to expensive?
@@D.TH.87 I paid it 220 € in sales, so for me it was pretty good price when you see Sony and Bose prices. I can't imagine a better headphone for the price, and know I also want to buy the momentum 4 true wireless earbuds.
i guess u will be a great reviewers on future bro, keep posting on all social media🔥🔥🔥
Keep up the great work
Thanks for the comparation
I have the Bose QuietComfort Ultra and just ordered the Sennheiser Momentum 4 due to an incredible sale!
The QCU are incredible headphones and I love them!
From this review, I'm thinking they are quite comparable.
I don't plan on replacing my QCUs with these, but I am definitely going to keep them as a backup for when the QCUs give out on me.
I honestly would have bought the Momentum 4s at first because the styling, at least to me, is so much better, especially the copper black variant, but much like the Seenheisers, I got the QCUs while they were on an incredible sale, I actually ended up paying the same price for both headphones, around $315.
But what really matters is the sound quality and, since it seems like I'm not being short-changed in that field, it was a good purchase!
Is there anything major that isn't covered in this video I should be looking out for in terms of differences?
looks like I'm going for the Senheisser. Thanks!!
Is there a significant difference in sound quality when listening to music when comparing the Airpods Pro 2's to the QC Ultra's?
Is px7 s2e video coming anytime soon?
I own a few headphones. I have the Momentum 4, both of Sony’s XM4 and XM5 headphones, the xm5 earbuds and soundcore’s Q45 headphones. They all have their pros and cons and you can’t really go too wrong with any of them.
In my experience, The M4’s have been amazing and are my daily drivers at home for music because the sound quality is unmatched, the battery life is insane and to me they feel the most comfortable.
The XM5 is used only for travelling. I fly more that 15 times a year and these have been wonderful so far. They are very light with an almost non-existent clamping force, however they make my ears hot and sweaty after about 2 hours. The ANC on the xm5 is the best I’ve ever experienced on any headphone. The sound isn’t as opened and crystal clear as the M4 but it’s acceptable and less fatiguing than the momentum 4 after long listening sessions.
My previously loved XM4 now belongs to my wife and sound very similar to the xm5 in my opinion but the comfort and ANC is similar to the momentum 4.
I prefer the xm4 over the xm5 especially for travelling due to it’s compactness and the ability to fold into a smaller case.
The soundcore space Q45’s comfort and soundstage is surprisingly very good at the price point. The ANC isn’t as great though and they look massive on my head. I never use them in public for this reason. Although slightly larger in size, It also folds and is as compact as the xm4. I just don’t see myself using it on flights due to it’s bulky earcups.
I haven’t owned any of Bose’s products yet but I’m considering giving the ultras a shot before I fly again next week, only because of the ANC capabilities. I’ll be very surprised if they surpass my xm5 in that category.
I doubt any other headphone in this price range would sound better than the momentum 4. It’s just too good in that department. To me that’s what matters the most. Sound quality is what headphones were made for.
Thanks that was informative, although i've just returned my Sony xm4 because sound quality was very dissapointing. Muddy, flat, boring, my old twice cheaper audio technica bluetooth sounds better or at least the same
is the ANC on the momentum 4's really as bad as they say it is? like how much would you rate it compared to bose QC ultra?
@@HamidBoensthe M4’s noise cancelling is average and not on par with the XM5’s. You can literally hear a noticeable difference when you use them one after the other. The battery life and audio quality on the M4 is significantly better than both the Sony and the Bose.
@@Sayid.M have you tried the Bose qc ultra? I was thinking either those or the M4. It’s really hard to chose and I don’t want to have FOMO
Would love to hear your impressions of the XM5 running on Wavelet`s Harman-profile (tuned for true neutrality) for those headphones. The profile for WH1000-XM5 can be searched for within the Wavelet-app among hundreds of other models and then loaded in as a new baseline tuning. Just remember to default the Sony Headphone-app`s EQ to get a true result from the new Wavelet Harman-profile for XM5. There`s a separate EQ-menu within Wavelet to add your own EQ on top of the Harman-profile. I found this solution superior to any RUclips EQ-suggestions for the Sony Headphone-app EQ.
i do like my momentum 4s but i HATE the touch pass cause as you said, its very sensitive, and the anc is eh. been debating on returning them and just sticking to earbuds when im out
Which one is better for flying and blocking noise on flight? Is the difference big enough? Thank you
I listened to the ultra today and immersive mode is impressive… however 18 hours battery is a deal breaker, as is no passive audio. No reason for passive listening not to be there, especially when there’s a 3.5 jack. Have the Senns and they simply sound amazing with no frills while lasting forever between charges. And while passive audio sounds crap straight away…you can eq it with a good parametric equalizer for a decent wired experience also
Yeah, using passive audio doesn’t make much sense when they sound better via usb
What's a parametric equalizer??
Hey there! Great job, thanks for your videos!
Could you tell me please which one of them more suits for audiobooks and podcasts, I mean with which of them voices are more natural and pleasant? Actually I already got Bose qs ultra and find them quite good for listening audiobooks but I still can change them if Sennheisers make the job with voices better than Bose. Thanks in advance!
From researching, the Bose QC Ultras do better in mids (voices) than the Sennheiser Momentum 4’s so you made the right choice! Also it seems that Bose are more comfy and lighter so it would most definitely make it the better choice for audiobooks and podcasts!
I have the Momentum 4 which I got in August 2023… I can confirm that mine also turns on frequently while still in the case.
anything u can do to stop this issue ? :'( mine comes friday et hope doesn't have this problem.. i will put the case everyday in a backpack so hope this would be okay..
Hold the power button down to turn off instead of laying them flat. Issue solved.
Oh, my fault... I just wanna ask you something, bro.
Which one have a high volume? Bose's or M4's?
Greetings!
Best video of comparison! 🤗
Would i be better off getting senheiser over ear headphones without noise cancelling? Is ot bad or just not as good?
Have the m4 the same bass,depths as the bose?
Thanks for being honest and mentioning how the Mom. 3's sound better it's not just that but their build quality is far superior as well.
I saw today the Momentum 4 for 250 euros. Very good price if you ask me
I have the Ultras and they are simply incredibles.
The sound quality when you hear jazz... Oh my god 🤤🤤🤤
How’s the sound quality? Have you tried them in wired mode?
The sound quality is sweet, is the way I describe them.
I haven't tried wired mode yet but I'll be updating this comment when I have.
@TheIrishMedievalArcher
I'm very disappointed with the Ultras. Having my 3rd pair but about to order the 4th. Creaking headband/hinges/earcups when moving my head/jaw, even when walking. Straight out of the box.
There's a lot written online about connectivity issues with the Momentum 4s (as in, not pairing at all with devices or being very hard to pair). Have you found this to be the case?
It has been fixed with new software updates, I went to a showroom where they had multiple momentum 4's. The ones with older software would have connectivity issues while a pair with up-to-date software was working fine
Never had this happen. owned these headphones for 1 year and the only issue is that they turn on automatically sometimes.
@@jexxy1806Hello, is there a fix to this as of today or have you found a way around it to stop it from doing so? I want to purchase these because the sound quality seems to be the best and the battery life also seems super long, need these for school.
I wanna see a bose ultra vs a b&o h95
M4 aml the way for me :)
The Sennheiser momentum 4's sound better, but the ANC on the Bose is quite a bit better.
Im dissapointed by all the ANC. In the beginning I always checked if the anc is really on because I expected way more after the hype. But yes your right.
But can't turn off ANC on my Sennheiser which is a bummer
The mic test on the momentum 4 is not accurate in this video. I've been to a loud coffee shop and no one I was on the phone with ever complained about the noise whereas in this video the coffee shop noise test kills the momentum 4.
I ended up returning the m4s because they just were not comfortable for me. When i put them on i can already feel my ears getting hot. Its a shame because they sound great and thats something i will miss with them along with the battery life. I ended up getting the bose ultras they are more comfortable i can see myself wearing these for hrs. The anc is amazing as well as the transparency mode and the sound is not too far off from the Sennheisers. Though its disappointing i cant switch to aptx using the s23 ultra. Either way you cant go wrong with any of these. It also depends if they will be comfortable for you or not since with everyone its different and that was the dealbreaker for me personally.
Weird. Momentum 4s are the most comfortable headphones out there. You must have a weird head shape.
@@jexxy1806ok Mr perfect head 😂
Go to developer setting menu for changing aptx
So if I don’t care about battery or whatever, which sounds better, Bose with Immersive audio on or the Momentum 4s?
Bose In general
The Sennheiser sounds so much better for music. It's the reason I bought them.
Just bought the qc ultras for 360 before tax after trying them on as well as the XM5’s at bestbuy. I was going to try on the momentum 4’s at bestbuy but wasn’t sure if they had a floor model
Do u like them
@@denizbulut9691 yeah. Super comfortable
Which are better for Jazz music ?
I'd say the M4. In general the quality of Sennheiser headset is absolutely great for Jazz, been there for more than 6 years.
The sennheiser sound like home.
Valoro el sonido, así que prefiero a los Sennheiser. 👍🏻
Aside from the connection and firmware being kinda janky at times the m4’s are absolutely amazing headphones. The clarity and bass are next level (I’m coming from beats lol)
How long ago did you buy your M4 and what do you mean by janky firmware?
@@prometieus1 well when I first got them a month ago they wouldn’t turn on the second day. I figured it out though
@@hoticeomega5064 No stuttering or "white noise"? if you dont have these, check firmware on the app - what version? 2.13.28 or higher? Maybe lower? I have bought my M4 in september. Updated to the above version of firmware and since then white noise and general stuttering, not always, but damnnn.... Anyways looking to buy other headphones and honestly speaking i dont think anything else comes close when it comes to battery and sound. I do like my base to be punchy.
I generally like my Ultras, but they are super plasticky and the build quality is not up to the very high cost IMO. The headband is super creaky, and you will at times hear a super annoying light popping noise from moving your head, and a creaking rope sound from the left side as you put them on, simply because of hand pressure distorting the earpiece and head movement. I think the popping is caused by a too loose of trunnion / pin fit at the housing, with the RH side being notably worse, with the super floppy joint between the band and fork does not helping and also seems the cause. I want silence, not popping and big mast ship sounds while moving my head.
The touch volume slider sucks as you state for me as well; jumpy and easy to activate when not wanted. On head adjustment is not easy or good feeling, and you can feel the rod moving under the cushion, like it could pop right through. I love the ANC, but the super cheap, not precise build quality and all of the creaking and popping has me considering a return, but dreading the process considering how crappy my experience has been with Bose CS. These are made in China BTW, and you would think at the killing they are making they could have greatly upped the precision and quality feel a lot, esp for the very steep cost.
Mine got the exact same noise in the headband and left ear cup. Very annoying. I need a quiet headphones, not this bs
@@PhucNguyen-hr5ue Pathetic, isn't it? Spend $400 on a flagship product that has the build quality of a $10 TEMU headphone. No way I'm keeping this pair, and the replacement pair better not suffer the same BS or it goes back too.
This is like buying a speaker that has a vibration / buzzing in it and that's OK... BS! Real shame as again the ANC is fantastic and now that I have them EQ'd properly the sound is pretty good.
True! Moving your head on moving at all causes the right earcup to make a super annoying clicking noise. With ANC so good the clicking noise is very audible 😭.
I bought a pair of the momentum 4 and I'm stunned by how these can last throughout my work week all while sounding incredible. However I don't really like the touch controls so I also bought the Accentum. I 💯 recommend Sennheiser products.
How is the sound quality difference between theese 2?
Video starts at 0:31
The winner is Bose.
For better sound go with wired Sennheiser.
Why is it the winner
@@lilithbar3712 Because of the better noice canceling. Also a bit for Spatial Audio. But that doesn’t matter much.
I think sound is better on Sennheiser.
I’m really trying to figure which one to get..
@@lilithbar3712 Get the Bose Ultra. It works and you’ll never have problems with it.
I have Bose 700 and don’t regret it. Good sound that’s not fatiguing or too analytical. Great noise canceling.
For better sound I have wired headphones.
My top wireless now in the $300-$400 range:
Bose Ultra (for noice canceling, pleasant sound and confort).
Bowers and Wilkins PX7 S2e $
(For the bass and the looks)
Sennheiser Momentum 4
(For the most accurate sound in this price range and for battery life).
Sony XM5
(For the features , noice canceling and good sound).
3:11 keep on rubbing ur thumb back and forth soon you will damage and peel off the synthetic leather 4:11 😂
XM3 still the best for me 😊
it is old xm5 is better
@classicalmusic3979 the xm3s and the xm4s have 39-40mm drivers. The xm5s are only 30mm. You probably buy the new iPhone every year😂
@DimePieceBapa I have all three and the xm5's are definitely better..
Not enough difference between xm5 and xm4 except price and foldable going for xm4. At 250 xm4 is a steal
Bose has very high sound floor. I can’t listen to the music and read with these headphones at home simply because they are too loud at the lowest level. Plus you can’t off ANC. The touch pad is problematic. Very disappointed with this Bose model and got rid of them.
Come on check out the skullcandys
I have them, and their series was next, but im just not excited about them.
18 hours problematic???? I think only when you would listen more than 18 hours a day.....
Very problematic for frequent travellers. Recently went to Japan and it ended up being 28hrs total of travel from NA. It was nice to not need to charge my WHXM5s during that time. Especially when sleeping on the flight.
if you actually leave the house, it'll be a problem....
@callouu3601 ah so... but then you have two solutions: don't use the immersive audio on those trips and/or take a powerbank with you. I agree the longer the batterylife the better but I think for most users its not that probematic
@@gradjelamers8770 I also find it just nice to not need to worry if they’re charged or not when I go to grab the headphones and head to the gym or wherever. I charge up every few weeks.
To your point about immersive audio, that’s what separates the Bose ultra from headphones that have already been out for years. As said in the video, it’s preferred to use in their best sounding mode.
Less battery duration means more charging which means more wear and tear on the overall battery health which means the Bose will require a new battery way sooner than the Sennheiser (if they ever will at all)
The sennheiser momentum 4 is far better in almost every way ! I just wish it had the ANC of the Bose . Sound is amazing on the SM4 , battery 60hrs ! Microphone is very good (never had a problem in any situation) , codecs , ldac etc... the Bose NC 700 has a much better build than the ultra. Bose could have done better !
Microsoft from these samples seems rubbish with this robotic voice. I wonder how it's on normal usage.
This is clearly a bose hostile community...all good as long as you enjoy your Sennheiser's, but no... they are not better than the ultras. 😊
Why not
Can I use these for gaming on a pc?
