BOSE v Sennheiser 4.50 BTNC

retroactive

Heyo,

Seen various recommendations here for the Sennheiser 4.50 BTNC but also read that the 4.40 are the same audio quality in a less pretty package. Can anyone advise?

I'm prioritising noise cancellation and looked at the BOSE range. My friends old QE2's are slick looking and comfy. Anyone know where to pick up the modern version?

I'm budgeting circa 200. Preference to headphones as i might lose the in ears

Any advice is appreciated

4.40's aren't Noise Cancelling if that's what you're after. I had a pair of 4.40's and they are a good headphone but not the most comfortable after a long listening session. I'm not a fan of the Bose sound signature so can't really help you there.

Thanks Grahamer72. From what I've read the 4.50's are really noise cancelling either.

I'm completely open to other recommendations

There are two versions of the 4.50's. The BT's and the BTNC's. NC's being the noise cancelling one's.
I recommended the Sony WH-CH700N's to someone on here before who subsequently bought them and loved them.
I have the 1000XM3's but they're quite expensive so maybe not something you'd be interested in.

Yea. Think they usually go for around the €170 mark.

Ahhhh I'm stuck with a decision to make..

Either the Sony CH700ns or the Sennheiser HD 4.50s both on Amazon.. Sonys are 88 pounds and the Sennheisers are 99..

I've looked up reviews for both but I dunno what to do

I'd say they are both very similar. The opening of the earpads on the Senny's are a good bit smaller so if you have bigger ears i'd go with the Sony's. Both are very good headphones though so i'd say you'd be happy not matter what pair you go for.
