Above is my question. I bought the Bose because I wanted to be able to study in the crowded place when I have to. When trying the Bose Q20I, I got a very good deal on the Momentum. The sound quality is definately better than Bose. But it doesn't block out the as much noise as the Bose. Should I keep the Momentum or the Bose???
P/S: both are brandnew

I would go sennheiser because unless you are studying in crowded loud places a lot, sound quality wins over noise cancellation.

Furthermore you might find that when you are listening to music + staying in a place with a lot of constant background noise you tend to stop noticing the background noise.

Try each in the situation to which they are not suited (Boss whilst listening in a quiet environment and Senns in a loud environment) and see which you prefer.
