Thanks for the review! If possible I'd like you to do a one to one comparison between the Momentum 4 and these headphones. For sound quality I find my Momentum 4 much better than the Bose 700 and wonder how the QC Ultra does in this respect.

Oh, that's definitely in the cards! I have 3 pieces I'm working on now (a collaboration, a comparison, and a straight-up review), but QC Ultra vs Momentum 4 is what I'll most likely do after that because I'm curious myself!

Great review, how do these compare with the Sennheiser Momentum 4 for sound quality (and comfort) in your opinion?

I'll be working on this so I can't quite tip my hand yet. BUT if you give me your specific use case, maybe I can guide you, since it'll probably be a couple of months before I can get that out. Where are you using it and how? What do you listen to?

I want to! I’m keeping an eye on the Bowers and Wilkins site in case they have refurbs. I do have the PX7 S2e, and I’ll be doing comparisons (for pretty much the rest of the year).

Thank you for watching! I think it (both, as a matter of fact) was at Ross: I visited my parents over the winter and realized I was woefully underprepared for their love or air conditioning.

Just subscribed. Can you please review the Edifier Stax Spirit S3 & S5? Tq.
@NorbReviews
@NorbReviews 14 күн бұрын
Thank you for subscribing! I can’t promise that I’ll be able to do those any time soon, unfortunately: I don’t own them (and I pay for the vast majority of everything on the channel) and probably won’t have the time in the foreseeable future, since I’ll be doing a bunch of comparisons, plus a few other commitments. The S3 is one that I’ve had on my radar for a while, but just haven’t had the opportunity. (I’ve spoken to Edifier about it, but that hasn’t gone anywhere.) Didn’t know about the S5, but once I have the time, I’ll look into that. Thank you for the suggestions, though: this really helps me decide what to look for in the future.

Hi could you recommend headphones in the price range of about under $275. The priority is that they were comfortable, did not hurt my ears/head, you can listen to 2-3 hours and was the best sound. All sorts of contrivances and noise-canceling functions are not important. And what is better sound Sony xm4 adjusted in EQ or Momentum 4? There is a promo for 230$ Sony, Momentum unfortunately only for 275.

That’s tough. Both are great. With sound, M4 is far better than XM4. I’ve done videos on both, if you’re interested: - M4 review: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iNqFpMJnzsyzg6c.htmlsi=BpB9Pra_XabIqd0O - XM5 vs XM4: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fLeVeKtyrqeXeGg.htmlsi=eSwmFpg5P0BRNnXk - XM4 review (very old, but conclusions hold): kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hNSRfLV_yeCtgZ8.htmlsi=pwoRllSyLYs4Ka_i

@@NorbReviews Thanks. I've already looked at all of them. I'm just wondering if the Momentum is worth the nearly $50 overpayment. Thought maybe after a little work in the equalizers the sony equals the momentumai

@@Sergey.design Gotcha. First, thanks for watching. I really appreciate that. As for whether it’s worth the price difference… that’s really up to you. But I feel that, when it comes to sound, the Momentum 4 punches WAY above its price, and I’ll put it up against much more expensive things. (In fact, I’ve put it up against the Focal Bathys, which is twice the price, retail.) I can’t say that about the XM4, even if it’s properly EQ’d: the clarity and detail just aren’t there, and the XM4 sounds muddy by comparison to me. You know, I’d been questioning doing an M4 vs XM4 video but… after this conversation, I think I will. I think a lot of people might be asking the same question. Thank you for reaching out and asking!

Not sure what you can do. If you haven’t tired factory resetting the headphones and reconnecting them, try that. Also, does the issue persist when you’re connected using the cable? Or just Bluetooth? That might help show you where the problem is. If you just purchased it, you may want to contact the seller or Bose to see if they can repair it or replace it, as it sounds like an issue with the speakers. Beyond that, I don’t know. Best of luck.

I’ll be doing a piece on this because it’s not a simple answer. What do you dislike about the XM5 that makes you interested in the QCU? Likewise, what did you like about the XM5 that made you decide on it?

Gotcha. That’s a tougher one and something I’ll have to test myself. Without direct comparisons: both are excellent. I actually had a section on this video which I cut out because of time where I talk about it visiting my family during the holidays, and how these blocked that noise out. On the other hand, I have a part in my XM5 video where I literally blocked out the sound of a concert, although most of it was low rumbles due to distance. Both are extremely good at this, at it might come down to how well they sit on your head, since of the deal isn’t good, the sound will come in. My gut says XM5, but Bose is no slouch. They are both top notch. And the Bose was *good* against my loud family during the holidays. I’ll include this in my tests, but that probably won’t be punished for a while, so I’ll see if I can reasonably test before then.
