The earmuffs can help to reduce more noises than ANC maybe can't do (high frequencies)? How is the passive noise reduction compared with QC35? null

Passive noise reduction is slightly better than the QC35, but these also fit a bit more snug than those, so that is probably the reason why.

I have both the Bose QC35 and the Sony 1000XM2. I qualitatively tested the passive noise reduction for both, and can conclude that passive noise reduction is similar on both. The Sony headphones press tighter onto my ears and gives the perception that they offer better passive noise reduction, but they really do not.

If by passive noise reduction you mean without the ANC, then I have to say that I'm quite satisfied.
Even with ANC disabled, I found that there is good noise insulation when worn properly.

I own both the Sony 1000XM2 and the Bose QC 35 II and I find the Bose QC 35 II to offer a little bit better Passive Noise Cancellation. But I think the Sony has better ANC.

About the same compared to QC35.
