Sennheiser vs Bose: War of the Gods

Sennheiser PXC 350 or Bose QC3? We pit the two against each other, and is it a close contest or what!

Performance Going in alphabetical order, we’ll do Bose first, and Sennheiser next. The Bose proved to be a nice-sounding pair, especially with the NC circuit on. They are not too effective because their design leaks sound in acoustically, but does the job satisfactorily. Sennheiser, on the other hand, sounds insanely good when the NC is off, just like regular headphones. In fact the acoustical noise canceling is very nice. When on, they just sound weird; the ears need some time to get used to the sucked-out pressure feeling. But they are effective if you look at it theoretically. And yes, there is a little noise in the circuit that’s induced and audible, when music is off. The Sennheiser uses two regular AAA batteries, while the Bose has its own batteries included, rechargeable ones at that. So what’s the better choice? We feel the Sennheiser's good old AAA batteries are easier to deal with, though fancy rechargeable batteries may appeal to some people. Price and Logic At Rs 19,900 Sennheiser just beats Bose, which costs just a little bit more at Rs 20,600. Some pointers favor Bose, but Sennheiser also has a case. Both are expensive (20K for a pair of headphones is a ridiculous premium), but for pure audio listening Sennheiser takes the cake. Still, we must add that Bose's noise cancellation is better! |
