Advice: XM6, Momentum 4, or something else to look into.
Hello! I have a tough choice to make in regards to headphones. I have tried the Sony XM6 and Sennheiser Momentum 4 headphones, sadly, both left me disappointed in at least one area hence I have a few questions!
Momentum 4:
-
Sound) - The momentum 4 headphones sounded better to me, the instrument separation was very good and the sound felt detailed without feeling fatiguing or base heavy.
-
ANC) - The ANC was lacking to me; It got the job done but left me feeling disappointed at times.
-
Build and Comfortability) - super comfortable! Felt very premium.
Sony XM6
-
Sound) - good, but sort of felt like a downgrade from the momentum 4. It sounded a bit more muddy and less detailed.
-
ANC) - The anc was perfect, actually phenomenal.
-
Build and Comfortability) - SUPER COMFORTABLE! However I had issues out of the box and now im in a postion to return them as there is a strange buzzing, loud enough to travel through some songs, in the left ear.
Some questions:
-
Are there any better options for sound quality and anc
-
Are xm6 prone to build quality issues they felt fragile and having an issue out of the box left me with a not so good impression.
