Bose QuietComfort Ultra vs. Sony WH-1000XM6: I tried the two best ANC headphones, and this pair wins
"The latest and Bose QuietComfort Ultra offer the industry's best noise cancellation. However, there are plenty of differences in style, battery life, and software features between the two that you should consider before paying $400+ for either pair. Although Bose has since released the second-gen QuietComfort Ultra Headphones, you shouldn't totally write off the first-generation headphones. Here's how they compare to Sony's latest release."
"The Sony XM6 promise 30 hours of battery life with noise cancellation enabled, while the Bose QC Ultra promise 24. You can extend the XM6's battery life to 40 hours by turning off noise cancellation, while Bose doesn't offer an option to turn off the feature, capping the QC Ultra's battery at 24 hours. Review: Sony WH-1000XM6 However, both headphones offer proprietary spatial audio technology that depletes battery life quicker when turned on."
Two over-ear headphones deliver industry-leading noise cancellation while differing in style, battery life, and software features. Sony WH-1000XM6 provide about 30 hours of battery life with noise cancellation enabled and can reach roughly 40 hours with noise cancellation turned off. Bose QuietComfort Ultra offer about 24 hours of battery life and do not provide an option to disable noise cancellation. Sony emphasizes sound quality with DSEE Extreme upscaling. Both models include proprietary spatial audio that reduces battery life. Battery performance depends on noise cancellation, volume, and call frequency, so real-world results may vary.
