Which has better noise cancelling?

Both are strong. The Bose QuietComfort 35 II is known for its noise cancelling, and the Momentum 4 uses adaptive ANC that adjusts to your surroundings. Try both if blocking noise is your top priority.

Is the Momentum 4 worth the extra money?

For most shoppers, yes. You get about 60 hours of battery, Bluetooth 5.2, multipoint, and aptX Adaptive. The Bose only makes sense if it costs clearly less.

Which is better for long flights?

The Momentum 4. Its 60-hour battery outlasts almost any trip, and a 10-minute charge adds about 6 hours. The Bose needs a recharge after about 20 hours.

Which is more comfortable?

The Bose is lighter at about 235 g versus 293 g for the Momentum 4, and its leather pads suit many people. The Momentum 4 uses memory foam pads. Fit varies by head shape.

Can I use either one wired?

Yes. Both include a detachable 3.5 mm cable, so you can listen without Bluetooth. The Momentum 4 cable is 4 feet long.

The Momentum 4 on battery life by a wide margin: up to 60 hours versus about 20. Build quality is similar for both, and neither has a water resistance rating.
