My friend is looking for a comfortable set of headphones. He was thinking about Bose so I said I would help him out. There's the Sennheiser Momentum 3.0 on sale for that price now. Any other recommendations?

Sony WH1000MX3? WH1000MX4? B&W PX7? Shure Aonic 50?

Need to know more about how he will use them, among other things. I had the Bose QC2, the Sony XM2, and the Senn Mo3... and the in ear sony wf...xm3. they are all very good but very different.

He said he wanted the best - but it's mainly for TV/movie watching and to cancel out a noisy neighborhood.

I guess I'll just go ahead and recommend the Sony wh1000's.

Anc is quite good on my wh1000xm3. I am happy with them as they block alot of sound and sound just fine for casual use.

I found upgrading the ear pads on the older Sony's WH1000XM2 made a made a big difference in comfort. I went the Dekoni Elite. Wore them regularly for weekly air travel before the pandemic and couldn't be happier.

I tried both the Bose QC 35 and the Sony WH1000XM3. I personally favored the former due to a more neutral sound profile and greater comfort. I did not notice any difference in ANC, but the Sony are supposed to be ever so slightly better in this regard.

My biggest gripe with the WH1000XM3 was that the whole bass range was overemphasized, muddy and boomy.

I have Momentum 2, been impressed with the battery, build etc. Friends and family seem surprised by how good it sounds.
Wouldn`t pay the full price for them though, they are good for what they are on sale
ANC is much less intrusive than than previous Bose I tried ( Can`t comment on Qc35 ), which is either a plus or minus depending on the use case.
Sony WH1000XM3 had the best ANC for me, but struggle to remember anything impressive about them.

I own the Momentum 2 and recently upgraded to the Mometum 3. Can vouch for both.
