The leakage was caused more noise to leak through and not allowing the NC to fully engage.
I picked up XM6 and PX7 S3 to compare. Obviously those are different devices, but speaking generally:
- ANC: Sony blows B&W out of the water, to the point where I had to seriously evaluate my motivations for getting headphones
- Build quality: B&W blows Sony out of the entire water park. Sony feels like a plastic toy that you can snap in half if you apply enough force. B&W is a premium device made with metals and very comfortable ear pads.
- Sound quality: B&W is noticeably better SPECIFICALLY when you compare them back-to-back. Sony just sounds so muffled once you put on the B&W. Everyone talks about bass on Sony, but bass is PX7 strong point too, to the point where I had to tune it down. PX7 downside is that sometimes it has piercing highs, especially high hat cymbals. It was pretty fatiguing before I got used to it. Overall, PX7 clarity is just significantly superior to Sony.
I did in fact evaluate my priorities, and I decided that FOR ME, sound quality was the most important factor, and I knew I would be disappointed if I picked up the Sony. So I stuck with B&W, which FOR ME has been an amazing choice, since I have used it to listen at home, and am enjoying a level of clarity I have never heard in my other devices.
Note: I got both headphones last BF when they had pretty deep discounts for open box on Amazon. Each one was around the $250 range.

Sound quality is also unmatched. These aren't overpriced gadgets, they're expensive gadgets.
But you're not wrong, the headphone industry is filled with overpriced made to fail gadgets but this isn't one of those.

I went on a year-long search for over-ear headphones. This was the first pair I bought, returned to Costco cause I thought maybe there was better and that I cared about noise cancellation more. Tried over 20 sets, kept a few, returned many because they didn't sound great or hurt the top of my head. Thanks to this deal, I'm back to where I started, purchased these again, and have been happily listening for the last 3 days.
When the S3 or the Px8 drops more, maybe I'll hop to those. In the meantime, I'm hoping to finally stop looking at headphones for a bit.

Btw i receive both today. This and senheiser hd6xx. Px7 is an excellent bluetooth headphone but hd6xx is at another league. Im acually impress coming from a hd560s and bd 900 pro x.
