Sound quality continues the warm, controlled tuning that Sony’s XM line has been known for: bass that extends deeply without becoming muddy, mids that don’t recede when noise cancellation activates, and highs that are smooth without being rolled off. LDAC support at 96 kHz/24-bit resolves the detail in high-resolution files on Android. Speak-to-Chat automatically pauses playback when you start talking — a feature that sounds minor but becomes indispensable quickly.

Thirty hours of battery life with ANC on (40 without) means a transatlantic flight and a full work day before you need a cable. The folding design is compact for a full-size over-ear headphone. USB-C quick charge delivers 3 hours of playback from a 3-minute charge. This is the headphone we recommend to most people most of the time.

Bose Immersive Audio delivers a convincing stereo widening effect that works especially well for binaural recordings and spatial audio tracks. It’s not a substitute for real spatial audio rendering, but it transforms compressed pop mixes into something that feels more expansive. The 24-hour battery with ANC enabled is shorter than Sony’s, but the build quality — padded headband, protein leather memory foam ear cushions, and a metal hinge — justifies the premium feel at this price.

The app gives access to eleven levels of ANC and Transparency mode independently adjustable, a shortcut button fully customisable, and Aware mode that adds wind noise reduction. Multipoint pairing works with two devices simultaneously, and the handoff between laptop and phone as you move between them is the most reliable of any pairing we’ve tested.

Sennheiser-tuned 42mm transducers deliver the brand’s characteristically accurate sound: detailed, well-imaged, and less “processed” than the Sony house sound. Hi-Res Audio certification and Qualcomm aptX Adaptive codec support at 24-bit / 44.1kHz make it one of the better-sounding over-ear options in this price bracket for lossless streaming on Android. iPhone users get AAC, which is limited to CD quality but sounds noticeably better on these drivers than on budget alternatives.

The folding build is lighter than its 9-ounce weight suggests — an ergonomic headband distributes pressure evenly and makes 4+ hour sessions comfortable in a way that heavier Sony and Bose models are not for everyone. The companion app offers a 5-band EQ, automatic on/off based on head detection, and a side-tone level control for voice calls.
