It finally happened - I have made the exact same comparison as you! It was very interesting as one will always wonder if you'd reach the same conclusion as the reviewer. And yes, noise cancelling of the Sony is much better, BUT, the soundquality (tone, transparencey, and soundstage) is much better on the Px7 S2. No comparison, in my opinion. Bought the Px7 S2 two days ago and have just had a fantastic day walking around the citty, listening to classical piano on a reasonable level, just because I could. Comfort is good with my very tiny framed glasses. Alright, no one is going to read this comment anyway. But, for internet posterity...

Just to prove you are seen (heard)! I have the older versions of both these headphones, and think the B&W are superior sounding in those models too. I got used to the button situation. For me, the software of the PX7 s1 was really poor - after initially pairing with my phone on day 1, on day 2 it just would not work. Super frustrating. After days of fiddling in developer options (android) and resetting my phone to factory (twice!) I got it to work. However, pandemic. We got locked down for a long time. Not travelling to work, or for work, so these became my pc headphones. I mostly use earbuds on the plane or train even now we can travel again.

I’ve been describing my XM3s like “listening through a wall” or like “listening from another room” since I got them. And that was the main reason why I was skeptical of the XM5s. Im happy you’ve saved me from making the same mistake twice.

For my typical use case of BT ANC headphones, I would go for Sony WH-1000XM5 as: 1. Great app that just works. Having an app that has software gremlins is frustrating, especially on travel when we don't have the time to troubleshoot. 2. Great ANC and call clarity. Especially important for air travel. 3. Comfort for long wearing. I like it light for travel. Don't care about "premium luxury product" look and feel for something meant for travel. Less attraction for undesirable interest. I'm willing to give up a bit of sound quality for the above. Also the Sony sound signature does not fatigue over time. My favorite wired close headphone is the Sony Z7M2. I can listen to it for hours.

Hi John, Thanks for the review, I was missing an option in your poll. for me the looks of the Headphone is the most important of a bluetooth headphone and I think I am not the only one who sees headphones also as a fashion product. I am one of the stubborn ones who dislikes the WH-1000XM5 just because everyone has it. I am currently rocking the KEF Space One. But at the moment I am hoping the new Lossless codec will be on some new headphones/smartphones soon. I am also interested in your thoughts of the new KEF Mu7.

They are comfortable to wear (I didn't like all the Sony headphones) I hate touch on headphones, so the buttons was a great benefit in my opinion xd I tried out different headphones but the b&w was my favorite.

But if you use headphones for their functionality, the Sony might be the better choice. Great video!

After doing a load of research looking at the Sony, B&W, Bose and Sennheiser headphones it became apparent that every reviewer had different opinions on which was best in which field / feature. In the end I bought the B&W Px7 S2 on the basis that the most important factor for me was sound quality followed by design & style. ANS is not important for me (which is where many said the B&W was weak). Yes the buttons are a bit fiddly and the app is only so-so but I would have found other compromises if I'd chosen the Sony or the Bose units. Basically there's fine margins between each of theses headsets and it just a case of looking at as many reviews as possible and then deciding which features are the most important for you.

I recently purchased the Sony XM5s for ANC in some long haul flights. I'm so impressed with how much difference they made to my overall flight enjoyment. Even without music they provide a calming cushion of ANC from the cabin noises. Since returning home, I've used them in the gym and office with both Android and IOS. The comfort is really good, and I love the sound quality they offer. Not at Apple Pro head phone level though still very enjoyable for long music listening. Bluetooth music streaming has come so far!

May I ask you kindly for little update on this review? Something like long term review? I ask for that because after digging a little bit, I can see some users complaining basically about three things (reddit and other forums): First, bluetooth disconnections, basically not being stable. Second, audio quality in calls. Third, this is more concerning for this type of device, earpads being peeling off from the earcups. Could some one confirm this or maybe if some some firmware update has mitigated number 1 and 2? Thanks everyone and above all, thanks John for these amazings reviews and super-comprehensive explanations. You make everything much more easy for newbies like me.

Very enjoyable review. Thanks very much. Was disappointed there were no comments re the Mark Levinson 5909. I used to be a regular Sony XM headphone user but they kept breaking on me entirely too quickly. Switched to the 5909s earlier this year and could not be happier. I use them mainly via bluetooth but do use them in wired mode fairly regularly and believe the wired mode is relevant to a comprehensive review.

I use the phone equalizer for the normal tones and the headphones app for the True bass function. After your review i understood the muffling sound so i started fidling with the settings. Most of it came down to turning the bass to - 2. So much easier to listen now (for me that is ofc.)

After trying the Sony, B&W & Sennheiser Momentum 4 the verdict is: The Sennheiser Momentum 4 beats both of them in terms of sound quality, hands down, even though the B&W are more expensive. So I bought them.

I had the Momentum 4 and had to return two pairs because they both started to creak in the hinges after just a few days. It got to the point that I barely wanted to move my head because I knew a creaking noise would come. I instead got the SX7 and I disagree completely on sound quality, the SX7 are simply better than the M4. They're also miles ahead in build quality.

You’re bang on with the comfort issue. My original Bowers PX7 headphones were only usable for about an hour. After that they were annoyingly uncomfortable. Partly the clamping force but also because the angled drive /units / pans were really quite shallow so touched my ears. And no I don’t t have big ears ! On the flip side the Bose QC 35 I have are used pretty much every day are Super comfortable. I also had a problem with volume levels on the PX. They just sees a bit weak

Can you compare on the comfort with the PX? I realize why people have issues with the comfort, but for me it's by far the most comfortable headphones I've ever worn. I also own the XM5, which are touted as comfort kings, and while I do see it, I just don't find them as comfortable to use. I'm really interested in the px7 S2, or maybe even the PX8 for Christmas :)

In my 4y experience with JBL EX5BT which don’t sound that amazing, but good enough, comfort and usability are most important for me.

Thanks John, great review, just what I have been waiting for after seeing you wearing the B&W’s in other videos. Like you I wear glasses and the Sonys I have tried in shops do feel very comfortable. So for me you have helped my make my mind up. Though the B&W may have a better SQ the Sonys sounded fine to me and I haven found anywhere yet to listen to the B&W so can ignore it then. Also Amazon have been having good deals on the Sonys which have been as low as £303 which is a good saving. Thanks John, keep up the good work

Hello John, first of all, thank you for your channels which I've enjoyed for a little while now. I note in this video that you comment somewhat favourably on the AirPods Max. This highlighted for me something that I wish you would cover, but may have seen that you're dismissive of, namely Spatial Audio/Dolby Atmos. This aspect isn't covered in your review which doesn't tell me whether either products facilitate it or not or how well they do. I love the sound of music as well the music itself, wouldn't call myself an audiophile, but am saving towards a Chord Mojo 2 DAC which I've been enthralled by, particularly when listening to Kraftwerk's 3-D Catalogue and recent classic Blue Note 60s albums. These mixes and other releases on Apple Music sound lovely - and different to their non-spatial versions - in my new AirPods Pro 2. So I guess the purpose of this comment is to be a plea to consider making a video diving into this area - there seems a lack of useful information about it - even if your conclusion is a negative one.

Both are great but I go for Px7. I will buy it next week. Because I need a real and pure sound quality and also the product quality.

You nailed it in regards to functionality vs. "pure sound quality." I find myself grabbing what looks like a lower quality headphone because of how well it feels/performs for the occasion. That's why I have several pairs 😜🎧

You can get the Airpods Max for 399 EUR (incl. Tax) in Germany on a very regular basis. There are always some deals (just like with the Sonys). I bought the APM for 399 and they are amazing for this price and fit perfectly in my Apple Eco System.

How does the WH-1000XM5 touch and hold act under the rain? I have Sennheiser PXC 550 and that is just pain under rain (it has touch as well but under rain it start, stop, raise and lower the volume because of water)
