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

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.

I used to have the Sennheiser 450SE which is the same as the 450BT except with the voice assistant. The sound was good. Although the comfort was terrible. The ear pads are too small and for most people the headphones sit on the ear rather than over the ear. I tried switching the ear pads, which made it more comfortable, but ruined the sound and noise cancelling. The clamping force was also too much for extended use. The comfort just made them unusable for more than an hour. When away from the desktop, I found myself just bringing Moondrop Kato with a USB C dongle and at my desk, I just use my HD560S which I comfortably wear for hours. I can't comment on the other 2 headphones since I haven't used them before.

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
