Sennheiser has thrown down the gauntlet to the market leaders. The MTW4 offer great sound quality, a fine level of comfort and a range of useful features. They can't match the Bose for noise cancelling though, but they are cheaper.

For

Noise-cancelling: Yes
Battery life: 6hrs (BT + ANC), 24hrs (including charging case)
Finishes: x2

Bose is still the top dog for noise cancelling, but its latest buds face a serious challenge from Sennheiser. The Bose sound clearer, with the Sennheisers preferring a richer presentation. The Bose are outdone for battery life but, in our opinion, they are slightly more comfortable.

For

• Punchy, musical sound
• Solid, weighty bass
• Excellent ANC
• Comfortable

Against

• No multipoint Bluetooth
• Immersive Audio slashes battery life
• No wireless charging
