Hello! I’m about to buy a new pair of headphones and I would like to know which of these three models you recommend:

Sennheiser HD 450 BT https://www.sennheiser-hearing.com/es-MX/p/hd-450bt/
Sony WH1000XM4

https://www.sony.com.mx/electronics/diadema-auriculares/wh-1000xm4

Bose quietcomfort SE

https://www.bose.mx/es_mx/support/products/bose_headphones_support/bose_around_ear_headphones_support/quietcomfort-headphones-se.html

Or if you could recommend others that are in that price range I would appreciate it.

Sony are probably the most consumer friendly headphones. If you plan wearing them for long periods of time, it’s probably the most comfortable and long lasting. With that said, quality wise is not the best, very plasticky. Sound is semi neutral on the flat side. I had the 3 and then the 4s, both broke at the hinge because the plastic turned very brittle and they just cracked. Keep in mind I’m very careful with my tech, I’m not rough with any of my stuff at all so I was disappointed when they both broke. And Sony has terrible warranty as neither of my headphones were replaced. Bose I stopped using at the qc35. Haven’t used anything new since. Sound wise I actually prefer the bowers & Wilkins px7 s2. The sound is richer and quality wise they are extremely well built. You’ll be happy with the quality and sound. Are Bluetooth and come with both aux and usb c cable so can be used with any device. On par with Sony pricing but of much better quality. Cheers
