    Bose QuietComfort 35 was a real pleasure to use day to day. Infact they are so good that I'm planning on replacing my headphones and future ones with Bose products. First off the presentation is nice comes a quality printed box which has pretty clear instructions on what the product does. Once you open up the box you are greeted with instructions on how to connect the headphones up to your device, other instructions are under the headphones . Next they give you an semi-hard carrying case and it's well made, perfectly nesting the headphones inside. Comes with a AUX cable for the headphones and Micro USB cable for the power to charge the headphones. That cord is very short so you may want to get a longer one if it bothers you. The headphones themselves are lightweight and comfortable. picking them up felt really solid and not flimsy at all. Feels good on the head after hours and hours of use. Left (L) and Right (R) is stitched into the fabric of the inner cup. Soft material feels great at the top of the headphones. These headphones have a well-built construction that isn't going to break on you easily. Black color gives its stealth-like appearance with even the Bose logo is blacked out. This is perfect for not drawing too much attention to yourself like most modern headphones does. You can use Bluetooth and NFC to connect your device. Finally more manufactures including NFC and Bose stepped up to the plate. Tried these headphones on an iPhone 6 Plus, iPad Air, and Galaxy S6 Edge Plus (NFC pairing) all worked flawlessly. Bose connect app allows for all of this which to me is where it's get exciting. The app is pretty easy to use and love the simplistic design of the app. But the best part about this product and the app is that it allows you CAN CONNECT TWO DEVICES AT ONCE! I can not stress how important this is. I can seamlessly go from my iPad to my iPhone without constantly connecting and reconnecting one device. This had me use these QC35 more and more daily. Using phone calls with these headphones have been nothing but stunning, also thanks to the active acoustic noise cancelling... Which brings me to the next point the acoustic noise cancelling works so brilliantly well that I have to take off the headphones to hear much more of my surroundings. As soon as you put the headphones on you will hear it working blocking out the sounds. The question you are wondering is how do these headphone sound? These headphones are simply amazing. The sound is clear and well balanced. Bass is a little lacking for my taste but all around these headphones are amazing. With the acoustic cancellation you hear nothing but the music. Oh and I must not forget that these headphones do have sound leakage. Battery life was awesome on these Bose headphones. I got about 18 - 19.5 hours wireless which is more than enough for my uses. They also auto-shut off after a certain period of time you set it to or you can turn the feature off entirely. The package claims that you can get 40 hours with the AUX cord but I have yet to test this. Overall I personally haven't been able to take these headphones off since I got them. They are amazing and the best I've owned so far. Bose really stepped their game up over the QC25. I would go out of my way to recommend these headphones to friends and family. These would make an awesome gift for anyone looking to go wireless with their audio experience. Bose have won me over for all of their future products.

    This was the first set of Bose headphones I have ever used. I typically have not bought high-end electronics in the past but was thoroughly impressed with the quality difference and feel that these are well worth the extra cost. What I liked: - Great sound quality - Noise canceling was fantastic - A digital voice tells you the battery life when you turn them on - Long battery life - Can connect with Bluetooth or aux cable - Comes with a nice, firm case to protect them when not in use - They are lightweight and very comfortable These headphones are well worth the extra cost from lesser known brands. You can't go wrong with Bose.

    Aptly named great sounding headphones

    Quiet Comfort is not just a name...it truly describes these great headphones... Comes in nice high quality packaging and includes a protective case that feels nice to the touch to house the headphones when not in use. Setup is real easy especially with the BoseConnect App that you can get from the App Store or Google Play...just launch the App, put the QC35 in pairing mode and a pic will appear of the QC35's, slide the pic of the headphones down and they are paired..,that simple! Not only are these wireless but they have rechargeable batteries, I charged them to 100% before using as I wanted to get a good feel for battery life outside of the box...all I can say is battery life is loooooong...I have put these to good use and can say it's at least 20hrs per charge when used wirelessly...Bose says the battery will last just about 40 hrs when used wired (which is another option by the way but why would you buy these to use wired?) but 20 hrs of use between charges is fantastic to me.. Now for the sound and noise cancelling... Put the headphones on first before powering on...they are comfortable on the ears...can be worn on your head with or without a hat and glasses are no problem as well...they are not too heavy and the pillows around the ear and on the top of the headphones just add to the comfortable feel... When you first turn them on without any music you immediately notice the noise cancelling technology kick in....all of a sudden the world goes quiet...it's pretty cool actually... Then just put on your favorite tune and feel the sound envelope you...bass is rich, there is absolutely no distortion at all and I have listened to everything from classical to bass heavy dance tunes, and movies on my iPad and the QC35's handle everything like a champ... A couple of other cool things, they can pair with numerous devices (I believe the limit is 8) and can be connected to up to 2 of those devices at a time and there are audio prompts that come through the headphones to give info on devices connected, battery life left etc...the QC35's as I mentioned above work with Apple and Android devices and there are convenient control buttons on the headphones to increase volume, skip forward or back, answer a call etc... As for handling phone calls they are adequate, the phone call sound is fantastic in the QC35's but feedback from those I was speaking to was there was some background noise apparent, not too much but I thought I'd mention it...I only use for calls as a secondary use not the primary use so this is a non issue for me certainly and probably for most... Lastly, if your battery does run out all is not lost, you can in fact use the QC35's wired with a dead battery and the only thing you will lack will be the noise cancelling features....I haven't had occasion to have to use in this manner but it's great to know you can if you need to... Overall these are fantastic headphones that are second to none for comfort, sound quality, battery life and ease of use...

    But then, it is a Bose! I take advantage of Best Buys 45 day return policy and I go ahead and aim for the higher grade item and consistently I am rewarded; I frequently keep the high grade item such as the Quiet Comfort 35 ® Wireless Headset. Very happy with my decision.

    Better than all others I tested, including V-Moda

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I tested multiple headphones for weeks, and finally decided on the V-Moda Crossfade Wireless in the Magnolia section of Best Buy. I had to order them however, and while they were being shipped Bose came out with the QuietComfort 35. As soon as I listened to the Bose I new they were serious competition for the V-Moda's, and so I purchased the QC 35's and have tested both pairs for the last few weeks. Here are my observations: Features: Bose QC 35 wins hands down. When you turn on the V-Modas, you hear a voice that says, "Connected." When you turn on the QC 35's, it says, "Battery at 70%. Connectted to <phone name>. Connected to iPad" (for example). The Bose can automatically power down after a period of inactivity (if you choose), the V-Moda's cannot. And the Bose has 20 hours of battery life, the V-Moda's have 12. App Support: Bose wins. The V-Moda's don't have an app. The Bose has an app that allows you to rename your headphones (by suggesting fun names such as Roast Beats), manage your connected devices, view the user manual, update the firmware of the headphones (I did this one minute ago and it worked flawlessly), set the Auto Power-Down interval, toggle Voice Prompts, and a few other things. Comfort: Bose by a mile. There's a reason that many Crossfade reviews suggest that you buy the optional ear cushions. After a short while they are uncomfortable on your ears, but the QC 35's provide hours of comfort, with no pressure on your head or ears. Style: V-Moda's win here. The ear cup shields are customizable and the overall fit is designed to minimize any gaps between your head and the headphones. The Bose are fine but nothing to write home about. Functionality: Another Bose win. While wearing the headphones, you can easily feel the volume and function buttons. With the V-Modas you have to search for them because they are flush and don't have the satisfying feel of the Bose buttons. Audio quality. Here I thought the V-Modas would win. But after extensive listening I'd rate this a tie. They each have their own individual sound signature with enjoyable levels of bass and treble. These are high quality headsets and you'll have to compare for yourself. I like that Bose has an EQ that makes music listened to at low levels sound as full as music listened at higher volume. But the V-Modas play music at a higher maximum volume. Conclusion: By now you can see that the QC-35's are superior to the CrossFades, and I haven't even mentioned Bose's secret sauce - noise cancelling. It's wonderful in so many applications, from allowing me to focus on my work in the office, to keeping me sane while the kids are screaming like banshees. The Wall Street Journal just reviewed 7 or 8 top selling wireless noise cancelling headphones, and *none* were close to the QC-35's ability to cancel unwanted noise. I hope this review was helpful, and now if you'll excuse me I'm going to slip back into my own little quiet, peaceful world, compliments of the Bose QuietComfort 35.

    Outstanding Sound Quality and Noise Cancellation

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    These Bose QuietComfort 35 headphones provide a stellar alternative to using speakers or traditional headphones to listen to music. This is a bit of a lengthy review because I think it’s important to understand what you’re actually getting for the money here. First of all, some basics. This is a wireless/Bluetooth headphones system with a fine operating range - I got uninterrupted reception throughout my house. They charge using a standard USB port (cable included). And even though they are intended for Bluetooth use, the case includes a cable with a standard 3.5 mm connector and an adapter designed so that these headphones can be used with airplane sound sources. It was very easy to pair my devices with the headphones. As soon as I paired the headphones to my iPod for the first time, my iPod prompted me to install the appropriate Bose Connect app - pairing with an Android device was also simple but I needed to install the app myself. And it is worth noting that these headphones can be paired with two devices simultaneously and can remember 8 different devices for pairing overall. When the headphones are turned on, they pair with your devices automatically (and there’s a synthesized voice that speaks the name of the paired devices so clearly that it is still a bit jarring). The headphones have two controls on the right earpiece (see photos). One control is a switch that turns the device on/off and can also activate a Bluetooth pairing signal. The other control includes volume up/down and has a multipurpose button that can be used to answer/ignore calls (when the device is paired with a Bluetooth phone) and to move forward or back tracks when playing music. Yes, the headphones act as a handsfree device for a phone! But let’s get to the serious parts. The headphones are light but they feel very well made (not delicate). The pads that surround your ears are very comfortable and cut out a lot of exterior noise - but these headphones also include Bose’s active noise cancellation system - they electronically extract the noises on the outside of the headphones. Not reduce - extract! The noises that surround you vanish - you can be close enough to your vacuum to feel the vibrations, through the floor, in your body but you won’t hear the motor running - more importantly, you can fly on a plane and the headphones remove the engine noises from your listening environment. It is difficult to describe how well Bose’s electronic noise cancellation system works to someone who has never experienced it - it can’t kill-off 100% of loud noises but the amount it cancels feels more like sorcery than clever electronics. You lose awareness of your environment so suffice it to say that these headphones might not be suitable for someone who is easily startled - I would never consider wearing these while riding a bicycle in traffic. But they should be indispensable for frequent flyers. So through physical and electronic noise cancellation, these headphones isolate you from the world around you so you can focus on your listening experience. And the listening experience is very, very nice! The mark of a great sound system is its ability to reproduce low frequency sounds clearly and cleanly at low volumes. And the sound in these headphones is surely clear and clean. Music comes across without discernible distortion from either the Bluetooth transmission or the internal amplification. High frequencies don't sound clipped and low frequencies are clear without sounding forced or muddy. And I can’t even remember the last time I was able to hear music in its full stereophonic glory without the distractions of the noise pollution that surrounds me at home and at work. It is difficult to quantify clarity but while listening to a recording of a piano concerto, there was a moment when just the pianist was playing very quietly and I could actually hear the movement of the dampers in the piano as she pedaled (for a moment, it sounded like the piano was breathing). So….long story short….these sound great! They are made by Bose so I expected them to sound great - but the overall experience of listening to music with these headphones is tied-in with the noise cancellation technology. It’s a game changer. It allows you to listen to music in a quiet place by removing the noise and distractions that surround you. It isolates you so you can enjoy your music. The only downside: flaws in recorded music become annoyingly clear (distortion in the recording, loss from using bad compression rates for mp3’s, surface noise on records that you couldn't hear before over the air conditioning, etc.). And you need to be aware of your surroundings if you sing along with your music - since you can't really hear yourself, your singing volume can escalate pretty quickly. Comes with a well-designed, protective case.

    Starting off the packaging it is done very well. Its simple yet well protected. Everything is laid out in a way that keeps things apart so they don't scratch each other, but still fit into a box that is only 8 ½ by 6”. In the box are the headphones in a very nice carrying case, a short USB charging cable, a 2.5mm to 3.5mm cable, a Quiet Comfort Airline adapter, Quick start reference insert, manuals in multiple languages, and some warranty info with how to register your product. The headphones themselves are made of a sturdy matte black plastic that looks awesome. I've always loved the look of matte black. They fold up very nice to fit into the carrying case. They have very nice soft comfortable ear cups that feel great and twist. The headband is fully adjustable and even fit my large head with room to spare. The top of the headband has the same soft material as the ear cups. This all combines for a very comfortable fit. When I first got them I connected them to my laptops USB port to charge. There is an LED that blinks amber while it charges, and turns solid green when full. This also tells you the amount of battery left while using them. The first charge took about an hour and 10 minutes to charge the headphones to full. They are listed at having up to 20 hours of battery per charge. So I don't expect to ever run out of juice on a typical day of using them. They have a power/ slider button to connect via Bluetooth, or NFC. A volume control Up and down, as well as multi function middle button for skipping forward and backward. When I first put them on I was immediately amazed at the noise reduction. I run a fan in my room and I couldn't hear it at all. Ive never had any headphones that completely drowned out background sound like this. Next I turned them on and there was a voice giving me the battery percentage saying “Battery at 100%, Ready to Pair”. I turned Bluetooth on my Galaxy S7 on, saw the Bose QC35 as a device and clicked to connect. I was then told audibly it was paired to Galaxy S7. Since it has NFC I decided to test that as well. All I had to do was tap my device to the NFC logo on the Bose and it connected again via Bluetooth. In the instructions it talks about the app called Bose Connect. So I went to the app store and downloaded it. It has a very simple drag to connect feature in the app. I was able to drag on my screen and it instantly reconnected to my S7. And within the app there are also some different settings and things you can do with your Bose headphones. Now of course we are talking about headphones here so onto the sound. Due to Bose having a reputation of amazing sound I was expecting them to sound good, but sound this clear is something new to me. I tested them listening to my music stored on my Galaxy S7. The sound is amazing. I have never heard music sound this great. Extremely clear with plenty of Bass where it needs it. Highs, Lows, and Mids are all there with no sound lost, or any frequency drowning out another. Certain songs had left to right separation I wasn't even aware of until now. And as mentioned before almost all outside noise is gone so you can enjoy the music even more. Bose really nailed it here. So if you cant already tell I really love these headphones. The ease of connecting, combined with comfort, a nice carrying case, and of course unbelievable sound make for an amazing product. If you are looking for top of the line sound in a versatile and well made headset look no further. The Bose Quiet Comfort 35 is the one to get.

    Incredible sound and great noise cancellation

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I've had these headphones for over a month now and my first impression is "WOW!". The first time I put them on, I wore them for 3 hours straight; I actually forgot I had them on. I'd always wanted a pair of Bose QCs but I kept talking myself out of them because of the price. Now I'm kicking myself. Granted, I got these as part of a review program, but the sound is incredible and the noise cancellation is great. I recently wore them while I was working at my house with a crew of roofers on my roof. I didn't even know they were done until the foreman almost broke the door down knocking (I didn't hear him the first 4 times)... and no, I did not have the volume cranked, the noise cancellation was just doing it's thing. Right out of the box, I effortlessly paired the Bose QC35s with my Galaxy S4 using the Bluetooth only method. I then unpaired them and had them repaired even quicker using the NFC method. When paired with my phone, the sound is absolutely great; even calls sound good, and I'm told that my voice comes through on the other end loud and clear. I then tried to pair the headphones with an ASUS G75VW laptop running Windows 7 Home Premium with builtin Bluetooth, an HP desktop running Windows 7 Home Premium with a BT4.0 USB dongle , and a Surface Pro 3 running Windows 8.1 with builtin Bluetooth. Pairing with the Surface Pro 3 was simple and the sound was great. Pairing with the laptop and desktop was about as painful as painful can be. I am definitely not a computer novice, but for about a week, I was unable to pair the headphones with either the laptop or the desktop. After contacting both manufacturers and Bose several times with not much help, I was finally able to reach some at Bose that was at a higher level than the first level you reach when you first call Bose support. I turned control over to the CSR on the desktop remotely and after about an hour, he was able to pair the headphones with the desktop. The sound was great, until I tried to select the headphones as the recording device (using the mic). When I did so, the sound became 'tinny'. I don't blame the headphones for this, but the drivers for Win7. Similarly, when I was finally able to pair the headphones to the laptop (I did this on my own and the process is way too complicated to include here), the sound was great until I tried to use the mic portion of the headphones (eg. with a VOIP program), and then the sound became 'tinny'. Again, this is not a reflection on the headphones, but the horrible drivers and Bluetooth integration on older Windows OS's... I just thought it was important to include since Win7 is still in use. With all of the pairing info out of the way, overall, I'll just say I love these headphones. Again, I primarily use them with my phone, and for that reason alone, I'd buy them tomorrow. I mainly use them when I'm working (I'm a developer). They are extremely light and they have never made my ears sweat. I can work in the same room with several people; their conversation nor the TV ever bother me. I've even used them when I'm mowing a 6 acre lot at my house and even then they're great although I do I have to crank the volume a bit because it's a zero-turn mower and I'm right in-front of the 26 HP motor. The volume controls and multi-function button took a little getting used to, but nothing that would stop me from recommending these to anyone. If you're looking for a great pair of noise cancelling headphones, I don't think you could go wrong with these.

    I wrote a review on Bose's website a few days ago saying, "The soundlink II are ok, but theres no noise canceling feature and the mic didn't sound right when talking on the phone." And went on blogs trying to figure out if Bose was going to release a new model this year to go along with the QC25 and then with no notice that I saw, here come these sweet puppies for my ears. Its about time they cut the cords of the 25 and got into the game with these gifts from the heavens!! You don't need all of my rambling on and on, but what you want its quick facts to help you either decide to pick or pass. Here you go. Pros: 1. Lightweight. (less than a pound vs Beats being almost 3) 2. Crisp Sound. 3. Easy Setup. less than 3 min 4. Nice Hard Case 5. Great wireless range 6. Super Uber Comfortable. 7. Noise cancelling isn't block the world completely, but its very close 8. Long battery life. If you use for 20 straight hours, you need help. Cons 1. Not for Bass heads. Turn them up, but don't expect much bass 2. Steep price. Wait til Christmas and you may catch a sale. 3. Weird folding in case.

    Immerse yourself in your own little audio world

    While using these Bose QuietComfort 35 (QC35) Wireless headphones, it feels like you have found a way to keep the rest of the world out (for the most part) of your ears while you are listening to your music, watching a movie or a video, or pretty much anything else to do with sound. It is a soothing and relaxing experience using these headphones, which allows you to immerse yourself in your own audio environment. With each increase of the volume, the more immersive the experience becomes. When I first put the headphones on (with the power on) without any audio being played through them, certain sounds (like a ventilation fan or a refrigerator) just disappeared, as if whatever is making the sound is not there. Once you have audio going through the headphones, you slowly drown out all other sounds around you, no matter how close they are to you. Connecting a new device to the headphones is super easy, just pull on the power switch all the way towards the Bluetooth symbol to the right, and you will hear an audio prompt from the headphones which states “Ready to pair” or “Ready to pair to another device” if you were already connected to one or two devices. Access the Bluetooth menu from your device to locate the “Bose QuietComfort 35” and simply connect to them. If you were already connected to two devices when you perform the above action, the last connected device to the headphones will be disconnected so you can pair the headphones to a new device. You are able to connect up to two devices concurrently, this is very convenient because you don’t have to constantly disconnect from one device to connect it to another device. If your device supports it, you can also use NFC (Near Field Communication) to easily pair the headphones and a smartphone by simply touching both devices together. In order for this to work, you must touch your device to the right side of the headphones and you might have to move your smartphone around a bit until you hear a beep from your smartphone, followed by a prompt on your device, confirming whether or not you want to pair the devices. The connection between your device and the headphones is established via Bluetooth, but this method simplifies it for you, so you don’t have to navigate through your menus until you find the section that controls your Bluetooth adaptor for your smartphone. When the headphones are turned on, an audio prompt provides the current battery level in a percentage and will automatically connect to your devices while stating the names of the devices that it is connected to. If the name of a device does not contain spaces or contains dashes (ex. USER-LAPTOP-ONE), the headphones will enunciate each letter of the device’s name. When multiple devices are connected, the headphones will monitor the sound output of each connected device. So say you are listening to music from your smartphone, but you want to watch a quick video clip on your laptop, if you press play on the video while listening to music from your smartphone, you will not hear the audio from the video until you pause the music. The same applies the other way around. If you are listening to something from your computer, and start playing music from your smartphone, you won’t hear the music until you pause whatever is producing the audio from your computer. If you connect the provided 3.5mm to 2.5mm audio cable to your headphones, the Bluetooth functionality is temporarily disabled until the cable is unplugged from the headphones. If the cable is disconnected, the headphones will act similar to when they are being powered on, stating the power level and the devices connected via Bluetooth. If the battery is completed depleted, the headphones can still be used like a regular pair of headphones, just connect the audio cable to your device from your headphones, that’s it. Charging the headphones is super easy, just connect the Micro USB side of the cable into your headphones and the USB Type A male connector into a computer or an adaptor that supports a USB cable. All the cables and the headphones can be easily carried around with the included carrying case. The case comes with an airplane audio adaptor and a dedicated slot for it, so that the headphones can be used on airplanes. The headphones are made for extensive use, while maintaining a lightweight form factor, so that you can easily use these headphones for hours on end. I would personally recommend these headphones to anyone looking for a quality built set of headphones with the ability to immerse yourself in your own little audio world. Once you try a set of Bose QuietComfort 35 Wireless headphones, it’s hard to try anything else because they will set a new standard for you when it comes to listening to music, watching a video/movie, all while keeping the distractions that are in your environment, out of your ears.

    BOSE QuietComfort 35 II Quick Features on the Product Premium sound Wire-free World-class noise cancellation Noise-rejecting mic array for clear calls Unlock more features with the Bose Connect App Google Assistant built in Up to 20 hours per charge (40 hours wired) What's in the box? QuietComfort 35 II Hard carrying case USB charging cable Audio cable (for wired listening) Setup/Testing/Conclusion I am first going to start off with the packaging of the product. The product comes in a pretty standard box. But once you open up the standard box… You get to see the nice hard case that is encasing your QuietComfort 35 II. The case is well made and it’s relatively durable to house your QuietComfort 35 II. Along with the QuietComfort 35 II and the hard case, you also get the USB charging cable and audio cable (for wired listening). What is interesting is you don’t get any quick start guide or warranty information like you normally get when you buy an electronic. The inside of the box does instruct you to download the Bose Connect App and you’re pretty much ready to go! So after downloading the app I proceeded to connect the QC35 II with my Google Pixel. For some odd reason it took 5 attempts before I could connect them to the app. After successfully connecting them to the app I had some trouble getting Google Assistant to work. Well, after turning the QC35 II on and off a total of 7 times I was able to get everything working. I’m not sure if it was the app or not but I definitely had some trouble here… But after getting everything working the app gives you a great tutorial of the buttons and how to work everything including Google Assistant. The Bose Connect app gives you the battery percentage, noise cancellation level and auto-off timer. The app is pretty basic and I don’t see a way to mess with any equalizer settings or “preset sound setting/themes” like extra bass, concert, club, etc… I went ahead and played some music with high bass. I mean… They’re BOSE, you gotta try them out with something that has high bass. The QC35 II definitely doesn’t disappoint when it comes to the bass quality. Sound quality is also excellent and vocals are clear. I also tested these out on a movie and it definitely performed well here as well. They are also very lightweight and easy to fold away so it's a plus for traveling. Along with being lightweight and easy to fold away, they fit very comfortably on my big ears. I also put them on my spouse which has smaller ears and she also said they were comfortable. So it doesn’t matter if you have big or small ears, they fit comfortably on either. So with all these positives that I’m giving it… Unfortunately I do have a negative for the QC35 II. In my personal opinion I feel like the build quality is not as great as I’d like them to be for the MSRP. I have a wide range of headphones from the price of $200 ~ $600. The QC35 II definitely performs really well but when it comes to the build quality I feel like they are comparable to the lower end range. It seems like the QC35 II is constructed with a lot of plastic. But again this is my personal opinion as others may not feel the same. Overall, I still give this product a 5 star. If it were possible I’d give it 4 and a half. The performance of the QC35 II is definitely well worth it. If you can look past the build quality it’d definitely be a 5 star product. I mean look… I’m sure they’ll have these at your local Best Buy so why not head over there and try them out for yourself? You definitely won’t be disappointed.

    I would give 10 if I could! This Bose QuietComfort 35 is a signficant upgrade, sound is amazing with noice cancellation with other benefits if you have an iPhone so you can take advantage of Siri.

    I had a chance to test these headphones out and, I must say, I’m quite pleased with them. Bose has a great reputation for making audio equipment. Their headphones have always been really top quality and their home theater speaker systems are great. I’ve tried quite a few noise cancelling headphones in the past and most were either too weak in terms of sound quality or weren’t really great at drowning out outside noise. These being Bose headphones, I assumed these would be up to par. At first glance, is the package itself. Included are the headphones, 3.5mm cord, charging cable and carrying case. The 3.5mm cable is standard, no frills there. The case is semi-rigid so it’ll protect your headphones from a fall but don’t step on it. There are compartments inside the case and a mesh pocket on the outside to hold the cables and such. The charging cable is what it is however I think it’s a little short. It’s about a foot long but would’ve been nice if it were longer. The headphones are really nice both in fit, quality and sound. The headphones are foldable which is perfect for on-the-go transportation. The volume and on/off switches are located on the right ear so there’s really not a whole lot of buttons to memorize. Pretty simple and setup for Bluetooth connection is really easy. There is also companion app for this headset. Doesn’t really do much in terms of functionality but I’m hoping they’ll build upon it and possibly add some presets or something. The earpads are quite plush and comfy. They’re a soft leather material and fit snugly on the ear when in use. The Bluetooth connectivity is pretty clear and paired with my iPhone 6+ was a breeze. As far as the noise cancelling goes, it does a superb job in this respect. Barely any outside noise is audible aside from loud voices or traffic. For the most part, it blocks out a lot of noise so no worries there. Sound quality is spot on from fairly deep bass to mids and highs. I listen to a wide variety of music so these play them all without too much bass or too little highs. These are fantastic headphones and, albeit a bit pricey, they’re well worth it in my opinion.

    These headphones are lightweight and comfortable to wear. I was able to wear these at my desk for several hours without any discomfort. The noise cancelation feature seems to work well in the environment as I could not hear any conversations that I normally did. I have yet to test them in a really noisy environment however. The volume and play controls are perfectly placed. Now for the sound, these are bose so I expected clear sound and I was not disappointed. I listen to all kinds of music including rock and hip hop and these worked perfectly, not too much bass. There is only one thing that has me concerned and it is the durability of the side adjustment. When adjusting the right side for a larger head it slides a bit too freely back into the first position. I worry that it will wear out a bit too quickly but only time will tell. I usually use Warburg but these have now become my everyday headphones due to the sound and comfort.

    I was always a fan of the QuietComfort 25, but wasn't really diggin' the color theme (very important to me)... So when I was able to check these bad boy out, I was super excited to know that... 1. They're ALL BLACK! 2. FINALLY built in rechargeable battery charged through a micro usb (6 inch cable provided) 3. Don't sweat if you're out of juice... you can use the supplied AUX line for continued in line use (airplane adapter included too) 4. Battery life is very impressive with about 30-40% volume usage (I managed to use it for 18 hours before needing a charge) 5. Can connect/store up to 8 devices, but you can only use 2 at a time. 6. Bose quality sound! Excellent high and mid with just the right amount of bass. 7. The noise cancelling really works! Goodbye world! lol 8. Very simple setup and device management with the Bose Connect app (available for both iOS and Android) I would recommend this to current and previous QuietComfort users to UPGRADE! Yea... I know it's pricy but totally worth it. On a side note... I would like to mention that I wear glasses and since these are over the ear, they did not bother me at all even after 3-4 hours of continued use.
