Bose QuietComfort 20 vs Sennheiser CX 215

Bass is good enoughish, could be better. CONS: Noise cancel does deliver a slight pressure like if you were going down a mountain and the attitude changes. 1 year warranty is BS from Bose, it should be 2 years at least. Earbuds wire to Y wire is thin and the battery box to the jack is even thinner, probably going to break

I'd previously used some really nice Skull Candies for all my listening activities and years later they finally gave in a broke. I'm super picky with my earbuds because I have pretty sensitive ears and I hate the feeling of any unnecessary pressure which are typical with Apple earbuds and the like. These are super comfortable just like my last pear and slide right into my ear without discomfort or trouble. They also block out a remarkably large amount of noise, more so than my headsets and I often find myself preferring these when I really just want to listen to something without outside interruptions

He has that speaker since 2016 and it still looks great and sounds amazing, no matter the genre. Also looked at what JBL had to offer in the same $ range, but when I showed the speaker, (JBL Boombox) he said that the sound will be very distorted - and this sub' says the same about BOSE.

Bill Callahan's "Drover," a track with far less deep bass in the mix, gives us a better sense of the CX Sport's overall sound signature. The first thing we notice is a strong boosting of the highest frequencies—the tape hiss is pushed forward in the mix dramatically. Callahan's baritone vocals get a pleasant low-mid richness that's matched by a crisp high-mid presence, giving the vocals some treble edge. The drums on this track get some extra thunder, but don't sound boosted to the point of overwhelming the mix

These are also so, so, very, extremely comfortable for my ears. I broke into the oval eartips fairly quickly and I love the design. They don't get stuffy at all, compared to my 75t which started making my ear canals feel funny after an hour. (Don't get me wrong, those were also super comfortable

**How the gear will be used** \- At home, relaxing on my sofa. I like to take my time to listen and experience an album (or multiple) and really soak it up.

and I like how it fits in my ears.

I would say the overall sound here is good, comparable to the sounds from the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2, Plus, and Pro for the most part. Good but not earth shattering.

The con, a big one, is durability. As one user said, their obsolescence is as certain as clockwork. I had to return my first pair six months ago, now after a year and six months, my second pair has begun to falter. On average, they last about 8-9 months before one of the earphones starts being funky

But after two or so weeks of use, the left earbud stopped working altogether. I want to love these headphones, because when they were more functional these headphones were the best I've ever had. But as I sit here with one earbud in my ear, missing the stereo effect of what I'm listening to, I can't give these more than three stars. I would buy these again if I could be sure that I wouldn't run into this problem again, but currently I'm wary

In some circumstances (walking by a busy road) I find Normal mode better than ANC. * When the battery has run out and I put them back in the charging case, my connected device does not switch to another speaker/mic, since the case itself is a BT device (I see two devices in my Bluetooth list, the case and the buds), so I have to do this manually.

* Ability to switch quickly between paired devices using an earbud -- no fiddling with disconnecting one device, then connecting to another device via settings or app!

The biggest downside to these buds is the price and the sound, I was really expecting a much. much better sound coming from $250 earphones. Don't get me wrong, these by no means sound bad, but they don't sound great either.

We'll see how long they last. I don't think these are any better than most $10 ear buds and I think the Skull Candy's sound a little better, but I went with these because on my last Skull Candy ear buds, the connector went bad where it plugs into the phone. Sounds like an issue with SC so I tried these. Again, nothing special here
