David Carnoy, CNET's most authoritative voice for technology (and especially audio) raved about the 1000XM2s, stating, "Sony's top noise-cancelling headphone matches Bose for best."While the Bose QuietComfort 35 II is a slightly iterative improvement over its predecessor, Sony made massive gains over their popular 2016 model, the MDR-1000X.Sony exceeds Bose in three very important

Amazing noise canceling

After a good bit of reading reviews comparing the WH1000XM2 to the Bose QuietComfort 35, I chose the Sony for reports of slightly better noise cancellation (but I never got the sense that there was a huge difference).Trying them at home, simply putting on the headphones already blocked out the majority of the sounds I'd hear - road noise and neighbors.
