Hey all,

I tend to use earbuds for most on the move music/calls and such; however, I want to get a headset for my work PC. More for focused work efforts (coding, presentations, training, etc.), along with being able to also double down for making/taking calls (via Teams). I have a headset at my desk for gaming on my personal machine, but they don't play well with bluetooth (Razer Nari's).

The Surface Headphones seem like a logical choice, but I hear they tend to run slightly small and warm. I've always looked at the higher end Sony and Bose's for years, but never pulled the trigger.

Right now the Bose QuietComfort Ultra has my attention ... pricey, but seem pretty badass.

Yet, can drop back a model in both Sony/Bose and pickup a used pair for around $100, same goes for the Surface 2's.

Curious if you all have any feedback.

Thanks

edit: damn, just found we get employee discounts at Bose ... the QC Ultra's are $50 off the sale price, argh, tempting!

I don't have any personal experience beyond the Arctis 7X, but I've heard great things about the Bose QC line.

Played with the Sony XM5 and Bose QCU, Bose wins. Both each have pros over the other but comfort and anc of the Bose trump the upsides of the Sony's.
