premium headphones with excellent noise isolation and very good overall sound quality. If you prioritize active noise cancelling for air travel and a comfortable over-ear design for extended use, the Bose 700 are the better fit. They also have a longer battery life for typical use and a more durable build. On the other hand, the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4 earbuds are better if you prefer a lightweight, portable option optimized for various activities including exercise, and with features like Bluetooth LE and Snapdragon Sound Technology for high-quality, low-latency streaming. The Sennheiser earbuds also offer a lossless codec, which the Bose do not, making them ideal for audiophiles wanting the best sound reproduction. Give Feedback

Sound Guys
Adam Molina | June 2023
"Bose took active noise canceling and made it mainstream but eventually, the market caught up. Well, it seems like Bose was listening, because the Noise Canceling Headphones 700 is a complete redesign of its iconic product. The Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700 have a new design, improved sound quality, a touch-sensitive gesture pad for playback controls, and even USB-C charging."

Andy Madden | January 2024
"It’s fair to say our brief time with the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4 was a generally positive one. Comfort levels seem similar to what we have experienced before and the general flavour of sound was to our liking although we need to get a pair in to test and put up against the big rivals at the money from Bose and Sony. It could be an interesting contest."
