Now both the Sennheiser PXC 550 2’s and the Sennheiser Momentum 3’s are overdue for an upgrade… these things were revealed in the fall of 2019. But they are both great sounding headphones and I really like them for very different reasons. But nonetheless, today we’re going to compare Sennheiser’s ANC headphones… to the Sony 1000XM5’s. Maybe you’re thinking about upgrading or maybe you’re looking for a really good deal.

As a user of the Xm5 and Sennh PXC I can say that the Sony ANC is impressive without a doubt and that it has improved its sound compared to the previous version. Still, the PXC is years ahead when it comes to sound quality, the ANC is good, but it doesn't compare to Sony. Likewise, perhaps because of the shape of my head, both do not cause me any discomfort even using them for several hours. In the end it is a matter of taste but I can summarize it as: Sony= decent sound/ impressive ANC. Sennh PXC=impressive sound/decent ANC.

Even the original PXC 550 is better in sound than the XM5.

@@zugo-tg7125 I completely agree with your comment and being objective almost any over-head headphone sounds better than Sony.

Great vid. Thanks. Hoping for pxc-iii with around 80% of the ANC of xm5, and better ambient. Xm5 was nearly perfect for me, but as someone who travels/commutes alot, it's a no go. Build is not durable enough

Got xm5 black, plastic squiking and finger print magnet, returned them and took the "silver" ones, much better on finger prints but plastic still bad. So I have returned them also and found a sweet deal on a trusty xm3 also new, and onestlly I dont lose much from my ex-xm4. Xm3/xm4 feels more "premium" than xm5, but my Beoplay H95 are above all.

But the ANC isnt that great, they are uncomfortable for me, looking for Momentum 4 but not sure if they will sound better. A year later still using my h95 going through all abuse and still solid

I'd love to see the XM5's compared to the technics eah-a800's. They seem to be similar build and features. If I'm not mistaken the technics are the only none Sony headphones to have the LDAC codec as well.

Very good review and comparison. Every little detail included, this is awesome. Will come back here for future reviews. I decided to go with PXC 2 some time ago and have similar experience and mic quality was the deciding factor between Sennheiser and Sony XM3/4 as well as worse durability of Sony.

I’m trying to decide between the momentum 3 and surface headphones 2. Both marked down right now and can’t decide. I will use them mostly at house and fly with them a few times a year. I’m worried the momentum 3 anc will not be good enough and the surface headphones won’t sound good enough. Which ones would you prefer??

personally, one of the only reason why im buying more premium bluetooth heaphones is so i get better sound quality. Sure its nice to have good anc but i really dont see myself needing the best of the best anc just to block out causal noise. Its like overkill at that point. I'm a fan of comfort too so the sennheiser pxc-ii's win for me.

Never heard about it before when talking about Momentum 3. I adore my Momentum 3, but I will never ever going to buy a pair of headphones with "sticking out" sliders. There were so many accidents when I badly hit something if I decide to do something around the house with them on. That is definitely not the issue for people that set sliders fully open, but.. Sliders supposed to be inside the headband. With M3 your head becomes unnaturally wide in ears area, sometimes feels like it is wider than shoulders. And actually it is, if I turn head to the side (headphones stick out the shoulder line). That's a major design issue for me: M3's are ridiculously big/wide. Still ok when it is home/desk headphones 90% of time.

Ah, the failed upgrade to the original from before Sennheiser sold out shows its face again… This is forever an L on their part while they upgraded everything else in their line. For your opening statement, it’s a lot more true of the former than the latter.

To be sincerely speaking in my humble opinion without being sentimental and of course without offending anyone who thinks differently from my opinion but rather looking into this serious matter with perspective distinction and without condemning anyone's point of view,I honestly think and believe that I have nothing to say.
