Sony's overall quality is not the same...this is pretty much nearly the same for everything they make. So the headphones may sound better, have better ANC....whatever, they are not Bose. For example, Sony cameras, if you look at them...they are all just about the same with minor tweaks. While they are decent cameras, I still think that Canon or Nikon offers better quality and stands the test of time. The pro's out there will still keep using CanoNikon.

Yep, it's subjective to the listener. Sony is reported to be very uncomfortable after a certain period of time. Also the headband is prone to cracking. I tested the MK2 and they were OK but not worth the asking price at the time.

Wish things were made modular. Replace a part containing the chipset for a nominal fee. Imagine how good that would be the environment and consumers!

The QC 35's are sweet but in this day and age, where small is more convenient and offers portability. Is there any distinct reason to go with over-ear headphones vs Airpods/Earbuds?

With all the talk of the QC 45 release. I am wondering if Bose can update bluetooth technology and other features using firmware?

IN my experience, probably not. Once charging, modern devices only want to charge.

Spot on! On the Soundsports that I purchased the rubber on the controls is worn away after just two or three months. Pretty crazy considering the price paid.

Should work. Sounds like it is made for any BT device. However, confirm with Senn.

Don't trust Squaretrade. Bose could make a little extra by offering extended protection plan like Apple Care. I don't mind Geek Squad, although I know Best Buy can be tricky also.

How about Dekoni pads: https://dekoniaudio.com/product/dekoni-audio-nuggets-headphone-headband-pressure-relief-pads-4-pack/ @autumn wrote: I'm in grad school and I absolutely love my QC35II. They get me in the zone. But sadly, they don't fit my head. For context, I'm 30, not 13. My fix for the past year has been putting my hair in a bun and stacking the headband on top of my bun at full extension. I also french braid my hair to give the top of my head a little volume but overall, it's not comfortable and it's quite inconvenient. Right now I have my headphones tied to my bun with a string to keep them falling off the back of my head. I need help with a solution here lol. Because my resourcefulness with the bun-stacking doesn't serve my authoritative persona at work, I also have QC30 earbuds. But they don't provide the same type of focus. Are there any amazing hacks or products that exist for this? That are reasonable to try in public...

i would get them checked out. Sounds like a loose something, either that or they need to "break in".

The QC 35 Ii will have much better ANC, in fact any review you read states this over and over. The QC 35 II is a better build quality. I checked out demos at various stores and most often the QC 25's were broken, ear cups missing, etc. The battery should last a while and modern devices have batteries that don't have the "memory" effect. This means you can charge when even when the battery is partially charged (moderator, correct me if I am wrong). If the battery were to fail sooner rather than later, I read that the replacement option is pricey, however by then the technology will change and you will want something else. They got you by the chain!!

Let's kick start this forum! What kind of music do you enjoy listenting to through your QC 35's or any Bose IEM/Headphone? I enjoy Prince, Rock, Classic rock, and international.

Just noticed that Bose released a new FW for the QC 35 I. This is good to see! Is this something that Bose does for all their products?

Hi, I purchased my headphones through an authorized dealer, however they don't offer an extended warranty. Can I get an extended warranty through Bose for the QC 35 II?

Seriously, If you want to buy Sony, go for it!! Why should Bose tell us what's coming down the pipe? The QC 35 II is a perfectly capable headphone. Unsubscribing from this thread also!

This looks like a hot thread! My $.02 on waiting for upgrades. In this day and age, we expect companies to release new products every 6 months. Bose makes darn good headphones and there is no reason to force an upgrade on their part. Other companies can do what they want. Sony is a mass marketer, changing product lines at blink of an eye. Some of their products are good, some not so good. Don't get me wrong, I love Sony! I grew up with the Sony boombox, Walkman, and Sony portable CD player, I tested both the XM2 and QC 35II as part of a vine program. Both headphones had their pros and cons. Bose has an edge IMHO, comfortable to wear for longer periods and better sound quality. I won't comment on NC because I am interested in sound clarity. Upgrades or new product introductions are out of hand! To say that the QC 35 II is oudated is a stretch. Bose is a step above Sony in terms of audio and speaker technology. Like my 2015 Macbook that performs better than most new Windoze laptops. The QC 35 II is a great product and performs better than many headphones out there.

They appear to be QC I, checking the model # here: https://www.costco.com/Bose-Noise-Cancelling-Wireless-Headphones.product.100456081.html It's not bait and switch, they just did not provide the complete info. The average consumer would not know what model is what. That is mis-leading and expensive, considering the QC 35 II can be purchased for $299. Only $30 off and seems some people don't care that they got an older model based on reviews on Costco's site. Buy from a reputable source, like World Wide Stereo, Best Buy or a good stereo shop.

Why did Bose make the QC II Limited Edition? They don't seem to be limited edition, since they are available everywhere.

Hi Folks, Most of the reviews I have read discuss noise cancelling features for the QC II. I am interested in sound quality mainly. What is your opinion of sound quality? I know Beats tend to be bass heavy, while other h-phones have lighter bass and muddy sound. .The NC feature is nice but I really want clarity. I just ordered the QC II headphones after looking up and down, reading reviews, etc. For the price, I am expecting good clear sound!
