Should I or should I not?

If it means anything, I have the Bowers and Wilkins PX8 S2, and the Bose quietcomfort ultra 2, and the latter are better in both the sound and ANC department. The Bowers have better build quality. If I were to be taking a flight, the Bose would be coming with me

QC vs QC Ultra (Gen 1) – worth +60€?

In-ear vs over-ear noise cancelling?

The XM6 are second to none. XM6 compared to the Bose Quietcomfort Ultra 2nd gen earbuds are no comparison. The XM6 are WAY better. Plus they offer a mode with their App that makes it feel like your in an IMAX theater in your ears. Now the Bose Quietcomfort Ultra 2nd gen Headphones are a different st
