Very informative review. Thanks for creating this video!

As a long time user of Bose headphones/earbuds. I'm making a switch in headphone brands. These 3 in the video are the exact headphone options im looking at as my next pair. I love the Sennheisers because of the battery life, B&W because of build quality and XM5s because of the ANC and features. So its making choosing just one a bit more difficult for me 😂.

Do the headphones sound better when wired and without a dac at least?

Great video bro 😎!

Thank you!

Great review video. I have experienced that I cannot “forever” turn off adaptive ANC on my Sonys. I also find the feature annoying but oddly, the feature will turn back on a few days after turning it off! I also have PX8s and I like the physical control buttons over the touch panel. I find myself skipping a song when I mean to turn up volume or vice versa. Maybe that’s just me though.

I like the physical controls, too! The touch panel is cool, but the buttons are easier in many ways.

I love switching on and off on PX8... it feels like weapon reloading 😎

The best sounding are the Px7S2e

The headband detaches after a few months of use as glue used under it comes out. Google it🎉

Great review! Wish you had binaural audio samples to compare the S2e and Momentum4.

I've tried PX8 and H95... While sound is nice, I've been suprised by the loudness: those 2 are far from loud, which is a problem! I haven't been lucky to try Momentum 4 for more than a year already. You already said previously, that You like B&W for gym more due to bad heat management in Momentum 4. But what about loudness? Is Momemtum 4 louder or on par with PX8 (PX7), H95 and Sony (my curremt WH-1000xm3 is loud enough... but sound is 🤮)

I think all of them get plenty of loud; I never listen to any of them at max volume that would damage my hearing. So I think any of them should be able to get plenty loud enough to enjoy.

@@TheSourceAVDesignGroup and if it's the previous Px7 S2 would it still be the B&W? Or the Momentum?

I still prefer the Px7S2 over the Momentum.

I fully agree on your opinion. I sold my sony xm5. Got the sennheisers being very happy with them. Best vocals go to B&W. I also prefer px7se to px8

🙌😎 thanks for watching!

Going on my second paid of px7s, two pairs both had connection issues where the music would just cut out. Firmware up to date and factory reset, will switch to sennheiser , Sonys don’t get loud and sound ok compared to px7

Can px7s2e block most of the noise on the plane or subway？

It can block quite a bit of noise and greatly improve the quality of the flight but you will still hear some noise. The best of the group for ANC are the Sony.

I legit cannot handle the confort of the wh-1000xm5, the issue is the hear depth, it's way too low and my ears are touching the bottom and it gets very painful after 30 min, give it more time and the top of your head gets pain too. Terrible experience for me. It's clearly not for everyone. I'm so sad because i love them, i love how they look, i love the sound with proper EQ, i love the controls and the noise cancelation, but i really cannot. I think i'm returning them and i'm maybe getting the Sennheiser Momentum 4, no clue yet. I still hope there is some replacement hearcups that are wider and it would just fix my problem..

Bro get the px7 s2e.I own them and they are comfortable because the headband is wide and the ear cups are spacious and deep,although the ANC is average, if u care about that.

@@AndreyyyM Thanks, but actually i bought replacement hearcups from wickedcushion. It fixed all my issues with it. Beside the headband being still not large enough, which i also fixed a bit by bying some tissue covers for it. I cared too much about ANC to switch to another headset.. (i don't put the volume loud so all i hear in average anc is the whitenoise. And oh my god i'm being cazy when i hear it for too long). As a programmer i want to be in silence (environnement wise) but not kill my earing.

Momentum 4 has fantastic and exciting sound by it is very uncomfortable and has a painful clamp force and cushion on earcups cause kind of irritation which might be caused by clamp force.

@@TheSourceAVDesignGroup Nope, but i have tested Bose QC Ultra, Sony xm5 and xm4 and some others and Momentum 4 8s better than all of them in bass and even instrument separation. You are right, i might be to sensitive but clamping force of Momentum 4 is more tha Bose and Sony and actually some people do not have problem with that.

To me the momemtums were a huge disappointment . Muffled and no soundstage. Sony were nice SQ but can be an issue with large ears as they are more shallow than the 4’s. BW nice but heavy and after hearing the px8 which are the bare minimum SQ a accept I stick to my wired cans with dac/amp

I tried them all and I kept the SENS the sound quality is way better then the muddy Sonys but don’t get me wrong the Sonys are the best for anc but I love the senns audio quality that’s my opinion of course

I just can't understand how people still buy Sony! Sound is just 🤮

I had the xm3 headphones, great sound but the earcups were just too small, the xm4's were better for size. Looks like the xm5's are just too small again. I had the bose 700's, the soundstage was just too flat and boring so I bought the momentum 3's, they are great but the battery life is not that good, I chose something special for my up and coming 50th, I'm getting the b&w px8 headphones. Looking forward to it.
