I switched from Bose QC to Sony MDR-1000x when my 2nd Bose in a row died from manufacturing defects. The noise cancelling works much better IMO, and the right side is touch sensitive so you can pause NC to speak to people and adjust volume. Not going back to Bose anytime soon.
- TurboHaskal 9y agoI have the MDR-1000x as well and can't recommend them enough. I was already quite happy with Bose's noise reduction, but the sound quality of the 1000x is so good it seems you're not making tradeoffs. It also has a special noise cancelling optimisation function where it apparently adjusts to the shape of your head, whether you're wearing glasses, etc. I can't honestly say whether this actually works or it's mere placebo. The only downside is that sometimes I try to pause a song and it forwards to the next one instead, so I'm either an idiot or the touch sensitive controls could be improved.
