So I decided to

I have been wanting to upgrade my pair of earbuds and i initially was choosing between sony xm6 and bose qc ultra. After testing both in store, it was clear that sony’s headphone was slightly better but it doesn’t justify the price difference between xm6 and a discounted qc ultra.

I’ve recently purchased and tested both the XM6 and Bose QuietComfort Ultra 2, and here is my brief review:

1. Sound Quality: Slight edge to the QC Ultra 2, sound feels slightly fuller with a slightly wider soundstage, even after EQ on the XM6. Again, the difference is slight, and hard to notice.

2. ANC

In the 1st gen Ultra Headphones there were 12 microphones, now there are only 10.
For those who have already bought the 2nd generation, please test if these issues that people experienced with the first version are present or not:

1. Hiss from the noise cancellation – In a quiet room, when no music’

I spent 3 days A/B testing this 6 headphones from the top brands for wireless ANC headphones at the moment (Bose, Sony, Apple and Sennheiser), so here are the results, the charts, the conclusions and some notes about it.
