“Can anyone who has used these AND the Bose QC35 comment on the overall comfort for long trips? The QC35s are good, but I can't wear them for more than 3-4 hours before my outer ears start to hurt from the pressure from the cups.”

Just got back from my first trip with these and I also own the Bose QC 35. From a comfort standpoint they are pretty comparable. I just measured the inside dimensions of the ear cups on both and they are pretty close to being the same height and width at the largest point. I do find the noise cancellation and sound quality of the Sony pair to be better than the QC 35s
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I have both the QC35 and the 1000XM2. The QC35 is more comfortable on long trips. The 1000XM2 headband forces the earcups to press more firmly against my ears and is less comfortable.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I have used both but for no longer than 3 hours at a time. I prefer the Sony for comfort but it really is a matter of preference based on the shape and placement of ears and head size.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I do not own the QC 35s but I do own the Sony WH100XM2s. I just listened to music for 8 hours while I was at work this week. My ears got a bit hot after a while, but the headset was very comfortable for that whole time. I hope that helps.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Thanks Mark...appreciate your thoughts (and measurements). So I guess the question is, is size of earcup the main issue, or is it the interaction of headband, pressure, etc. that might make it easier to wear on long hauls. I think I'm going to have to try a pair. And the QCs are nice and all, but I don't find the NC all that great and agree that music quality is just north of mediocre, though quite acceptable. Thanks again, and enjoy the phones...
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.if my friend happened to me the same thing hurts me when I use them a lot of time. I just bought the sony wh 1000xm2 and they are much better than the bose I recommend them
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This would be just a notch above in comfort, compared to QC35. They’re lighter as well.
