So these are the Bose QC45’s… now I’ll be honest I thought we were never going to get these headphones cause after the Bose NC 700’s came out I thought Bose was going to go in a new direction with their headphones. But I guess the QC35’s proved to be such a cult classic that bose ended up caving in. Now overall the QC45’s are good and they definitely deliver… but these headphones are rather peculiar, and I feel that bose is holding the QC45’s back a little bit.
Both the Sony 1000XM4’s and Bose NC 700’s are a great pair of ANC headphones. But if you’re looking for something more premium with better sound then there are plenty of options out there for you. So today we’re going to compare the new Bang and Olufsen HX’s to my personal favorite sounding headphones the Sennheiser Momentum 3’s and the icons that are the AirPods Max. Now personally I am rather excited about this lineup cause each of these headphones have their own stand out characteristic.
The new bang and olufsen HX ANC headphones are a fine pair of headphones that feature exquisite build quality, a super long battery life and a delightful neutral sound signature. But today we’re going to see how they stake up against everybody’s favorites the Sony 1000XM4’s and Bose NC 700’s. Cause even though I really like the HX’s… if active noise cancellation is a big deal to you the HX’s will might leave you wanting more.
So a few months ago we checked out the $800 Bang And Olufsen H95 ANC headphones… now I wouldn’t recommend that you run out and get those headphones cause their price is absurd. But the H95’s are a just a whole experience but themselves cause of their exquisite build quality and aluminum carrying case. But today we’re going to check out the new Bang and Olufsen HX… which are still a little pricey but they are more sensible than the H95’s.
So now that the Xbox headset is here… its okay but there are some short comings about it that will still might make you want to go with some third party options. So today we’re going to compare Xbox’s own headset to both the Razer Kaira Pro and Steelseries Arctis 1. So whether you like to play a lot of open world games, or if you’re a competitive FPS player one of these will might suit your play style better.
So ive always really like the Surface headphones as pair of mid tier ANC headphones. And in general the Surface Headphones are a great first try for Microsoft. So when I saw that Microsoft announced their new Xbox Gaming headset I was really excited. Now over all the Xbox’s new headset is fine and it gets the job done… but these aren’t going to be my new go to headset for gaming.
So like I said in the full review, the Razer Kaira Pro are a decent xbox wireless headset that has very impressive build quality. And in general Razer has been knocking it out the park when it comes to build quality regarding a lot of their other products. But today we’re going to compare the Kaira Pro’s to the steel series Arctis 1 which has been my go to gaming headset for a while now.
So these are the V-moda M 200 ANC headphones… they’re V-moda’s first pair of ANC headphones… and unfortunately I find it very hard to justify their $500 price tag. Performance wise their Active noise cancelation performs more akin to a pair of entry level or mid tier ANC headphones in 2021, sound quality wise they sound very narrow and bright, and comfort wise… they aren’t the best.
