"Jada Jones/ZDNET The QuietComfort Ultra 2 live up to their name with a more comfortable fit than the WH-1000XM6. Their plushy ear pads and roomy earcups just result in an overall more relaxed fit. Although I found the first-generation QuietComfort Ultra headphones more comfortable than the second, both are more comfortable than Sony's. Conversely, Sony's WH-1000XM6 have thinner ear pads and a tight clamping force that puts pressure on my jaw, and their tight fit pushes my glasses against the sides of my head."
"Sony's and Bose's latest headphones are some of the best noise-canceling headphones you can buy. On paper, Sony wins in several categories for its advanced audio features and customization, impressive noise-canceling abilities, and long-lasting battery life. But after months with each model, I have a clearer understanding of their strengths and weaknesses."
Both Sony and Bose produce flagship noise-canceling headphones that excel in different ways. Sony offers advanced audio features, deep customization, strong noise cancellation, and long battery life suited to power users who tweak settings. Bose prioritizes comfort, plush ear pads, roomy earcups, and a simplified, high-performing out-of-the-box experience for listeners who prefer minimal configuration. Sony's tighter clamping and thinner ear pads can cause pressure and interference with glasses during extended wear. Real-world use reveals trade-offs between customization and comfort, with Sony appealing to enthusiasts and Bose appealing to users seeking relaxed fit and simplicity.
