I compared the two best headphones from Sony and Bose in 2025 - here's the winner for me
"The Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones (2nd Gen) sound excellent, and while I still prefer the overall audio response of Sony's headphones, they each offer a slightly different tuning out of the box. Sony's sound is crisper and more analytical, but Bose's sound profile is suited well for long-term listening, especially while traveling. For some, that may mean the Bose headphones are a better buy. Bose's headphones sound more sculpted, pulling back the mids and prioritizing the bass and high frequencies."
"Sony and Bose released flagship headphones this year, delivering new features, upgraded audio performance, improved battery capacity, and most importantly, the best active noise cancellation (ANC) in the industry. Bose was once undefeated in its noise-canceling capabilities, but Sony's are a fierce competitor. Bose is back with a counterpunch in the form of the QuietComfort Ultra Headphones (2nd Gen) Can Bose reclaim the ANC crown from Sony? Are there other areas in which they're better?"
Sony and Bose released flagship headphones this year that provide new features, upgraded audio performance, improved battery capacity, and leading active noise cancellation (ANC). Bose aims to reclaim ANC dominance with the QuietComfort Ultra Headphones (2nd Gen). Sony's tuning is crisper and more analytical, while Bose opts for a sculpted, consumer-friendly sound that pulls back mids and prioritizes bass and high frequencies, making it suited for long listening and travel. The Bose QuietComfort Ultra 2 sounds excellent out of the box and offers a bass-heavy response with clear highs, requiring no immediate tuning.
