If you’re looking for over the ears Noise Cancelling Headphones at a reasonable price there are 3 top performers without breaking the bank. They are as follows as rated by Sonic Quality: #1 - Sennheiser Momentum 3 #2 - Sony WH-1000XM3 #3 - Bose QuietComfort 35 II * The Sony is much closer to the Sennheiser’s over the Bose in this matching. Rated by Noise Cancelling: #1 - Sony WH-1000XM3 #2 - Bose QuietComfort 35 II #3 - Sennheiser Momentum 3 * The Bose and Sennheiser are very close in this matching. Rated by features: #1 - Sennheiser Momentum 3 #2 - Sony WH-1000XM3 #3 - Bose QuietComfort 35 II * The Sony and Bose are close to the same. I’ve owned all of the Sennheiser Momentum’s, the first offering, the M2 AEBT which I still own, and now the 3’s. The first two generations were very similar, identical in features but better sound quality with the M2 series. The biggest issue with the first two generations was a lack of bass depth, good crisp bass but not as full as the new 3’s which makes them a good competitor with the WH-1000XM3’s. Another plus with the Momentum 3 is the earcup controls, they’ve added 3 more controls, Up & Down Volume buttons, and a Dedicated Control for the Noise Cancelling Features which can make your headphones like an open ear headset as well as three NCF modes. If you are upgrading from either of the other two versions it takes a little bit to get use to the extra controls but once you do, you’ll probably like them even more. The NCF is well improved over the previous versions and it’s really nice having more control over modes you listen in. With the Smart Control APP you can easily switch NCF modes from, MAX Noise Cancelling, Wind Cancelling, and Pressure Cancelling. I us my headphones when bicycling so the Wind feature is huge, with my old M1’s this was a problem. As to the APP I also really like that you can take advantage of either using a 360 deg control of their parabolic EQ or you can use the normal linear EQ. Also with the APP installed you can update your firmware too it’s well worth using this very clean easy to use APP from Sennheiser. One down-side to GEN 3 is they are heavier due to the larger drivers which makes them less comfortable then the previous versions, they are still very comfortable after they get broken in, soften up some. I see a noticeable improvement compared to the Momentum & Momentum M2 and I don’t regret purchasing the new Momentum 3’s, well worth every penny it costs. On sale you can get both Sony and Bose cheaper than the Sennheiser’s and if you are on a budget that makes the Momentums a tough choice. Fortunately, either the Sony or the Bose should make you happy, if I didn’t get the Momentum’s I’d go with the WH-1000XM3’s. Read full review
