Looking for the perfect blend of style, sound and portable audio quality? Then you’ve probably seen products from Sennheiser and Bose, two of the most famous headphone brands on the planet. But how do both companies’ current top wireless noise-cancelling headphones — the Sennheiser Momentum 3 and the Bose Noise Canceling 700 — compare, and which pair should you buy? Well, it depends on your requirements. Here’s everything you need to know to decide what’s right for you.
Design and fit

We have to give credit to both pairs of headphones in the looks department: both the Bose 700 and Sennheiser Momentum 3 have beautiful curved earcups, sleek metal headbands, and sleek lines.
Those who want a vintage look full of leather will probably gravitate towards the Momentum 3, while those a little more modern and business classic will probably prefer the look of the Bose 700. No matter which one you choose, you’ll look objective. classier than almost everyone wearing headphones around you.
In terms of fit, we have to give a slight edge to Bose here. The Sennheisers have super-plush ear cushions, just like the Bose 700, but they’re a bit stiffer in the headband than the Bose, making them harder to leave on for all-day (or in-flight) listening.

Features, controls and battery life

From app-based adjustments to noise canceling levels and voice assistants to the ability to pair with multiple devices at once, there’s little these headphones won’t do.
In terms of controls, we prefer the analog knobs on the Momentum to the touchpad on the Bose 700, but we prefer the sleek and simple Bose app to the somewhat cumbersome (mainly when it comes to adjusting the EQ) Sennheiser model.
As for the noise cancellation itself, we have to hand it to the Bose 700. They reduce all external sound to a whisper, regardless of the environment. The Sennheisers, while having solid noise reduction, feel like they’re designed to offer a squeaky-clean soundstage in the office or on public transport, but our review team found them to be a bit off on loud flights.
Speaking of flights, both headphones offer excellent battery life for long trips, with the Sennheiser boasting 17 hours to the Bose’s 20, giving the Bose another slight edge. Given that and the fact that the Bose has better noise cancellation, we’re going to throw this one at the Bose.

Sound quality

After Bose swept the first two categories, you might think that these are clearly the best headphones of the bunch. But that’s where you’re wrong, because the Sennheisers have a big trick up their sleeve: Incredible sound.
The latest Momentum model easily surpasses Bose when it comes to how they shape the sound of your favorite music. They are incredibly detailed, vivid and fun to listen to, and the noise reduction helps contribute to a pristine and very wide soundstage.
The Bose 700 has great bass response and a warm top end, but it just doesn’t match the detail of the Sennheiser option.
One thing we like about both handsets is the call quality, which is absolutely superb when using both pairs. Bose uses some very fancy technology to limit background noise, so the Bose 700 are slightly better than the Sennheiser on calls, but both are miles better than most headphones.
Winner: Sennheiser Momentum 3
All in all

When it comes to choosing an overall winner, it’s really hard. In fact, it might be best to think of them as two completely different types of headphones; The Bose 700 are perfect for those who want to wear headphones all day, travel a lot and make a lot of calls, while the Sennheiser Momentum 3 are for those who want excellent sound quality and features and plan to use their headphones to get the absolute most out of their music. .
