Customer Ratings & Reviews

There are many headphones and earbuds that claim to reduce ambient noise, but many of them do it by simply blocking out external noises with extra padding or uncomfortable ear canal plugs. The Bose Quiet Comfort 35 II active noise cancelling headphones take the reduction of unwanted background noise to the next level. I have to admit that most of my noise reduction headphones were budget units and until I tried the Quiet Comfort units the only way I could listen to podcasts while cutting the grass was by turning the volume up so high all I was doing was drowning out the noise with louder noise. I set the Quiet Comfort headphones to a comfortable volume before I started the mower. I then started the mover and engaged the blades. Normally I'd have a tough time catching all of the words of the podcast over the roar of the riding mower. For the first time I could not only hear the words clearly, but everything seemed so relatively quiet, that the whole 1 hour mowing experience was much less stressful. The next day I was a passenger in a car on a trip to the next town that I have taken many times. For most of the route there is really little need for noise canceling but the Bose headphones were still an excellent way to listen to music playing at a comfortable level over Bluetooth from my phone. Even with the headphones on,I was able to carry on a conversation with the driver. The true test came on a stretch of asphalt where small chunks of pavement have become dislodged from the road's surface leaving a very coarse surface that is not bumpy in a rough way but still causes tires to roar against the pavement. It's always an annoying stretch of road to drive. This constant frequency roar is exactly what the Bose Quiet Comfort II headphones are best at eliminating. I had to pull one ear cup away from my head to be sure we were on the bad stretch of pavement. As good as the background noise elimination is, it's not the only category in which earphones should be judged. These earphones are very light and although each cup seals tightly around each ear to keep out sound, the material is soft and pliable and can be worn for hours without fatigue. The sound reproduction is good and the necessary controls for volume, stopping and starting recordings and answering the phone are all at hand. I highly recommend trying these if you need serious ambient reduction. My only disappointment with these headphones came during the unboxing. There is NO instruction manual to help you understand the controls on the unit. Other than warranty information the only other booklet was an 18 page tome with wise advise about how NOT to use headphone (don't use them while driving, etc.) but no advise on how TO use them. The user is referred to a website but it is quite a slog to wade through other products to find information about these headphones and even then it is written in flowery mindless prose by an advertising mind rather then a technical mind. Sadly, writing good owner's manuals is a lost art in all industries.

Headphones arrived in a timely manner and are good quality.

Superb audio quality and easy connectivity make these an easy choice, but the superb product support is where Bose really shines. They stand behind their products for well beyond their warranty.

Bought a week ago. So far good. Noise canceling work better.

Specifically Intended to buy Bose, purchased two in black for husband and self, when I saw this color gave my set to son and bought these for me! Also pink eliminates a lot of confusion!

These headsets are great. I wear them around the house just to not hear dogs bark!!

My ONLY hesitation on purchasing these after months of research were the online comments that the new Bose 35 II did NOT have an adjustable headband. WRONG!. They do and I have a very small head and they fit perfectly!

I was in the market for noise canceling headphones. After much research I settled on the Bose QC 35 II. Wore the one time and let my lady try them out. Now I guess I need to save up for my own pair. *_*

This was an excellent choice. Quality was good. Simple to manage.

These headphones work well for noise cancelling but do sound lik you are under water.

These are a great upgrade form our original pair. Better than the rest

Almost perfect wireless headphone but the price is too high

Bought a pair for myself for use when traveling or playing video games so the family doesn’t have to hear them. My wife loved mine so much that we bought these for her. She uses them primarily for work and travel.

Comfortable and amazing sound. Love how comfy the headphones are. They are like air and dont squeeze my head. Software could use some work but the NC is amazing. best in class!

grandaughter says she loves the batteries last along time

Good earphone with good sound quality. I would recommend.

As the name calls for itself, BOSE did it again. very happy with the purchase.

I’m a runner and have been looking for noise cancelling headphones to run with. Against everyone’s advise, I got these. They are amazing!!! They are light, water resistant, and the sound quality is Outrageous...

Easily the best earphones on the market. Noose cancellation blocks out all distractions, blue tooth capabilities allows you to play your own music and even answer calls. A must have if you travel.

Cant wait till i can get these instead of the bose 700. imean the remind me of kindergarten/elementary headphones. still comfy though light weight for me personally for "long time" use
