So the highly anticipated Bose QC45’s are finally here. Now overall the Bose QC45’s are a great pair of headphones to consider… but they really excel when it comes to their comfort. But today we’re going to see how the QC45’s stack up to the Sony 1000XM4’s… and I’m also going to lightly compare them to the Sony XB900N’s… cause the XB900N’s are on their way out cause the XB910N’s are finally here as well.

Love that you talk about ear cup size, that's really important for me since my ears hurt fast when they are too small.
Great review. It told me what I needed to know before buying one of these this week. Thanks!
if the bose had an auto pause feature when you take off the headphones and a stronger base it would be perfect.
Sony all day!
Why do you people like bass so much? The qc45s have lots of bass, there is more to music than just bass, bass is just the bass guitar and maybe bass drum. Almost EVERY other instrument and vocal in in the mids maybe the highs. If your playing video games or watch movies then more bass is great but the qc45s already have a lot of bass. If you really want BASS then go get some Roy joys.
@@Error-xl3ty I think a lot of young people like to feel the music ant their tastes are limited. Like you said bass is just one component. I have both of these and like both
@@Error-xl3ty Not a super bass guy but definitely cannot withstand harsh trebles.
Same
Please cover duolink speakerbuds, nuraphones and vie shair headphones. BTW amazing content
I am a proud owner of xm4 and I love it. It is very comfortable for me but then it does heat up my ears easily especially when I live in hotter and more humid country. Audio quality is also good but then it is still a bit muddy for me and I prefer the sound of bose's.
The title sums it up nicely.
Playlist had some heat!
What headphone stands do you use for these videos? I’d love to grab one!
Different comparison but I own the QC45’s. My 6 y/o 35’s were having problems. So I bought the XM5’s. I called Bose and they were kind enough to send me a new pair of 45’s. The xm5 had a little more power is seemed but the Bose were good enough (especially for free) and I much prefer the real buttons to the touch sensitive actions of the Sonys . Returned the XM5’s
I just returned my first ANC headphones; the Bose NC700 becasue they randomly kept disconnecting and then they wouldn't pair to the app. I've been look at the xm4s but before I make the sony switch I'm curious if people are still having issues with thier bose devices after firmware updates.
Can anyone answer this? How do these perform at the gym with sweating and noise cancelation
Please help me, between qc45 and 700s which is better in terms of sound quality? Thanks
XB910N is nerfed version of XB900N 😢. I was waiting for it as replacement for my XB900N.
I have the 900 n and the only thing I don’t like is the noise cancellation and the plastic material isn’t my favourite especially on the touch pad also they get a little warm but other than that they are great
I tried to buy the QC 45 with my Dell account and it said it wasn't shipping till Dec 23rd..lol. I bought a Tab S7 plus instead.
Can I get a decent bass from Bose QC 45 by playing around with equalizer settings?
What would you rather have comfort with some cabin pressure q45’s or no cabin pressure with less comfort Sony xm4 ‘s ?
No cabin pressure unless the difference was bigger. It’s not like a huge difference between the 2.
I have used the Sony wh-1000 first version for a long time but my ear are hurting after a few hours. I have tried the WH-1000XM4 and my ears start hurting too. So I'm actually using Sony WI-1000XM2 which are working fine. I need to try the Bose QC45 now that it looks like they are more spacious. I was very disappointed on my Jabra Elite on the airplane.
kinda sad how the mic of the sony 1000mx4 is so much better than the one of the sennheiser momentum 3 even though they're cheaper (cause i want the sennheiser ones)
Thanks for this video. I really want to use the XM4 instead of the NC 700 but I can´t live with a pair of headphones that amplifies surrounding sound when on a phone call or teams meeting. Do any of you have any settings that solve this issue?
Yeah you can easily turn that off on the app, I’ve done it myself.
@@moosejuice4231 Great. Please tell me how? It feels like I have tried to change almost every setting in the app. But not the right one.
you guys can do phone calls with the xm4? It is a total zero on mine. the thing is; when I try to record my talking on voice recorder (like gc does) it is fair. but when it comes to phone call, it is a total zero. other side keeps saying that they cannot even hear me.
I got listeners fatigue from the sony and had to return. The bose is way more comfortable and sound quality is less piercing and warmer
The xm4s disappointed me definitely prefer the xm3s. Might check out the BOSE one's
The problem with those xm4s is the creaky hinges. The noise in my left ear when I moved my head around just wouldn't settle down. Pure silence from the Bose Qc35s and I'd expect the same from the 45s
I've returned a qc35 because of the creaky hinge in my left ear
Quick question. Can I connect two Bose QC45 headphones or a Bose QC45 and NC700 headphones to the same device using the Bose Music app? It’s the Music Share option for QC35 II when using the Bose Connect app. My wife and I use it whenever we travel and watch movies together on an iPad.
it looks like the QC45 and NC700 don't have music sharing the QC35's. So I don't think they'll be able to do what you're asking. I just tried just for you. You can however pair ONE pair of headphones to a bose soundbar
@@GYMCADDY Well, that sucks.
I was hoping the icon on the top left of the Bose Music app was that option (being able to “group” two headphones together) like the Music Share option in the Bose Connect app. I guess I’ll be returning the QC45s & getting a refurbished QC35 II (for 1-year warranty also) so that I can keep using that feature with my wife.
Own the xm3 and imma buy me the bose as the next one. More comfort
Just bought both of these as they were on sale. Bose has a much cleaner and pure sound. Much comfy and the mic is so much better. And if you want a bass on bose, just play around with the equaliser.
I fully agree. The sound quality is way better than I thought it would be. CZcamsrs act like they sound bad when they don't. They sound better than the 1000xm4 and 5. The 1000xm4 and 5 sound muddy to me and they have too much cabin pressure. The mids are also more refined on the Bose and they give me chills when listening to music. I love the instrument separation on the Bose too. They don't need Ldac or aptx when they sound so damn good.
To be honest, I have the NC700’s right now and i am trying to sell them as the clamping force is just far too much for me. So, I am looking for either the QC45 or XM4 for my next pair and though comfort is my first concern, the sonys themselves, though not as comfortable as the qc45, still pretty comfortable for what they are especially considering they are feature rich. I have multiple Bose products, just wish they’d ensure the same quality and feature set as the ‘more expensive’ products aka the 700’s as in Canada there is a $50 difference between the 700 and QC45. So, i believe i’ll have to go with the XM4’s, just don’t know if i should go with the midnight blue or black…
The xm4 have quite shalllow ear cups and a lot of Sony’s features are gimmicks the ambient barely unusable too. When Bose feature they actually work.
@@stephenknight6562 I know i’ve tried them out… they aren’t as comfortable as the QC series though i am willing to risk the slight comfort (in my opinion) for more features. I do agree some features are gimmicky though I do really like the EQ, one thing Bose really needs to get up to speed with.
I just returned my Sony XM4 after just a day use since I was thinking I can use it for some zoom meeting outside in cafe and when I received one phone call in a busy station all the noise around me seeped in. Basically I can't hear much of the other speaker. I googled first if there is a solution to keep the NC on during a call, and apparently it is not a flaw from Sony but instead a feature. I don't want that feature since it won't be usable for me. So I returned it. I have NC700 and I agree with the clamping, even though my head is very small, which caused other problem, the headphone fell off of my head easily when I bend. But, I would rather keep my NC700 than to have the Sony 'feature'. I would like to buy QC45, but not at the current price. So will wait til the price is lower down a bit here in Europe.
Shame, I wanted the Bose 700 but I'm sensitive to headphones, often they provoke headaches for me. I guess I should pass on them :(
@@daniscandi9960 Once ya break in NC700 they are really comfortable. You can get Bose usb link for exceptional quality of zoom meetings. They are life style/ professional headphone
Somehow Bose always give me headache in a few minutes despite of how light and soft they are. Sony ain’t as comfortable but I can tolerate them much longer.
It’s the cabin pressure
@@GYMCADDY What is the cause of the cabin pressure? I've never had any issues on any headphones that I have had, so I'm curious what it is.
@@GYMCADDY i disagree I wear the Bose QC all day and I feel great but Sony as great as they are they give me a headache after a while of use
@@morm2173 same here lol
@@GYMCADDY It was the opposite for me. The Sony 1000xm4 and 5 both have more cabin pressure and that's why I returned them. The Bose Qc45 has just as good of ANC as the 1000xm5 while having very little cabin pressure.
I just picked up the XM4s as they were cheaper (when I got them) and the cabin pressure is so much less than any Bose headphone I tried.
How many takes to not twist your tongue while saying the names and model numbers?
Good job bro👏🏽
Great video, keep it up the content, what music subscription do you use/ prefer currently with Spotify but been thinking of changing
I have CZcams premium. So I have CZcams music. Very underrated
No EQ is a deal breaker for me. Depending on what I'm using them for music/movies/gaming I like changing the EQ.
But if u use Apple Music or Spotify then both have built in customizable eq’s
If you're an Android user, you can always use Wavelet EQ app to adjust every headphone on the market, so its not really an isuue.
In short, which is better Sony or Bose, I will be glad if you answer
One day I accidentally got my xm4s to say how much power remained in them by touching the right side control panel. It's not in the manual and I still haven't been able to get them to do it again. 🤔
Just tap the power button
If it physically rattles in your head, it’s bloated high-bass to low-miss. Good bass resonates in your chest and belly.
I love your channel
Thanks
Me too
Hello! I have Sony Sony WH-1000XM4. When I turn on noise canceling in a quiet environment, I hear a soft but noticeable white noise that doesn't exist in reality. How is it with Bose 45?
Same on the QC45s
I agree, and that induces tinnitus in my ear .
Does anyone know if the QC45 have Google Fast Pair on Android? It's basically the pop up notification you get when you put the headphones in pairing mode.
I don't think so. At least not for me. I believe the NC700 may tho
What's the advantage apart from the first time connectivity?
Oh man so many options today it's so confusing
Comparison btw qc45 vs 1000xm4 vs 700 please
Have used both.. and one thing that has been the biggest deciding factor for me is CABIN PRESSURE…. with ANC on, the QC 45 lock my ears and cause a weird kinda strain/discomfort, gets really uncomfortable. While no such issue whatsoever with SONY. Really hope BOSE address this in future models !!
Exact opposite of what you've just described. QC45 doesn't cause me any issue whatsoever. Extremely weird to hear this issue.
I do have to take them off once every 30 minutes or so though because if I'm watching a movie, if there's silence, the white noise gets a bit unbearable lol... but I don't think any ANC headphones are free from this issue...
@@santoshpss if there is silence it's better to just switch ANC off ! Healthier practice for your ears imo !
@@chirayatabasu Yeah mate I should do that from now on...
I think 550 ii also a good one.y i don't know ur not comparing with these ones.any reason?
That’s the most lazy “upgrade” ever.
Yep pxc 550 il is very good and comfortable, it's a shame they still have a micro USB tho. I hope sennheiser release a new one next year
@@d.3671 Yea at that point I’d rather get the original, but Sennheiser sadly sold out already.
@@zugo-tg7125 They said they'd still release products, i hope it's true...
I’ll be making a video with the pxc 550 next. But I think we’ll see an update pxc 550 soon.
ngl the bose qc 45s looking really good to me rn
they have everything that i use and almost nothing that i don't and the comfort, my Sony xm3s are really comfy but the bose are just so much better
I think I'll take off my headphones when I talk with people. Seems like the right thing to do.
youre not wrong, but its a good feature for when you're flying.
10:37 The what pressure?
The cabin pressure. Its similar to the feeling you get when you drive up a mountain and you get the urge to pop your ears
@@jiro8233 What is popping ears?
@@EternalBlaze10 when your ears feel blocked so you pinch your nose and blow through it slightly
@@jiro8233 aah got it.
I have the 2 .Bose is better all the way!
I see you're more active in comment section now , like before 7 , 8 months.. you weren't
I’m trying to be better at commenting
Gg's then
I dont get, cant you just install an EQ app??
you can and it works
That’s cool
Cabin pressure comes as a side effect of efficient ANC, complaining about too much cabine pressure is ridiculous as the pressure felt isn't really there but rather a psychosomatic effect that goes away over time, like sea sickness ("desensitization"). Bose removed the ANC low/OFF setting because they are stupid, don't expect them to bring it back anytime soon.
That's sad, but I hope they do that. Hard to believe any other headphones are as comfortable as the Bose QC headphones.
Great they removed that feature.
Now i'm sure I won't buy Them.
@@Casperdroid5 I found your comment quite hilarious. xD
Bose 700 are the best but sucks cause they don't fold so your carrying it with a big ass case everywhere
I thought you left youtube? like anyway 😁
what made you think that? its probably just YT hiding my videos
@@GYMCADDY I can't remember exactly. Somehow I thought I've read something about you leaving.
Maybe I mix it up with somebody different.
True: this is the first video from you since quite some time that I found on my streaming pipeline
I am missing a small detail, the anc on windy days goes crazy and sounds bad, and the bose qc45 by not being able to deactivate the anc completely you will always hear the wind.
Just for that reason I discard the bose and I keep the sony xm4.
everything else I agree, Cheers!!!
Hi daddy
Sup
I need to see 100k now come on i cant believe so much time pas
Slowly but surely. Thanks for the support
@@GYMCADDY you deserve it for real men for u hard work
Bose 45 sony 1000xm4
The price of sony is much cheaper than bose, but for noise-canceling things, bose is not much different than sony, for the price, i will choose sony, i think bose is not much better than sony.
It is not cheaper though. Where are you getting this info?
Bose is way more comfortable
Nope
Bose used to be good back in the day but the last few years it's gone downhill.
I just don’t get this generation and their reviews … you’ve been given a product to review and all they keep doing is matching it against other products and end up talking about 1v1 comparisons instead of reviewing the products for what they are
