Bose QC 35 ii - A Sound Designer's Review | 1 Year Later | Audio & ANC Test

[@Kymikol]

I got my second pair rn! I found the first ones ( QC 35) left at a gas station where I worked, we almost threw them out! I took them and they served me well for 5 years! And they are still working, don't get me wrong, but the headband got wet and started to look really bad, so I decided to buy new ones, and don't regret it at all! The first ones were manufactured in 2016 and till this day they work flawlessly! The battery usage time is still the same, sound is still perfect, and I use them for hours every day! Only thing, take care of them, u can replace the earmuffs, but the not the headband ( for original one) and mine got really not good looking 😅. So if you are considering buying them, do it! Even not new ones, as I got my second ( QC 35 II) ones. U won't regret it.

[@emilis6124]

Managed to get a pair of these for £40 on an ebay auction, the headphones were described as "For parts or not working" and the images provided looked awful and I guess I was the only one willing to risk £40 to see if they are in decent condition, I even asked the seller and they didn't know if they worked or not. The headphones came working but in such a disgusting state where the earpads and the headband were covered in filth. I extensively cleaned the headband along with the rest of the shell and bought the cheapest replacement earpads on amazon (theyre all basically the same until you go £20

[@Banjoliope]

It's 2022 now and these headphones still rock.

[@craigparker2296]

I agree with you. These headphones allowed my ears to hear things I couldn't before. I think it's mainly because of the ANC. But the quality of the sound blows my mind everytime I listen to them. They've definitely turned me into a "music snob" in a sense lol I don't really wanna listen to music if it doesn't sound as good as it does in my headphones.

[@attilab.2818]

Craig Parker If you really like to lose yourself to the music then you should check out the Nuraphones. You would be completely blown away.

[@voqzmk2]

Are there still any ANC problems? I need them on the plane and when in the car, I've read that they made the ANC worse through an update. Should I get the Sony WH-X1000xm3 or the QC35 ii?

[@Feggx]

I recently went into a local electronic store wanting to buy some "cheap" bluetooth headphones for my Galaxy S20 which has no headphone jack, and after testing almost everything from low to high values the Bose just amazed me! I heard details in a song that I haven't heard with my other headphones like he said :D And they are sooo comfortable even with my glasses! So I went from getting some 50-100€ headphones to getting the QC 35's for ~230€ but that was totally worth it 😊

Best music related purchase I’ve ever made, hands down. I feel like it’s one of those headphones that will still be good in 30 or 40 years. Good headphones stays good for years and years and years and I don’t think I’ll ever change them for anything, they’re my go to for proper music listening, pair them with the AirPods Pro for everyday chores and you’ve got yourself a heavenly setup

[@javashy119]

I heard that the newer versions might not have it. I've always had my eye on these specific ones so I am glad I get to try them soon. Getting it since I will be traveling soon and since I am unable to use regular earbuds.

[@suryasusanto89]

[@MarkMphonoman]

Great review, thanks. 👍 I am glad you pointed out the “linear” qualities of the Bose headphones. Over the years I have owned dozens of headphones from all the great manufacturers. However, there is something very special about the sound stage of Bose. Even on my Bose TV sound bar you can hear the difference. I wasn’t sure exactly why this was. However, you helped clarify what I was hearing and didn’t understand. I am not sure I am getting my point across clearly, but you helped me understand a little bit more about my headphones. Thanks. 👍 p.s. Like and subscribed.

[@TheMusicianPwns]

really interesting when you talked about the about the frequency response! Quite surprising...

[@RozilioMusic]

Glad to hear that, Green Man! Thanks! I'm not an audiophile (at least not yet), so I really like the frequency response you get from the QC35. It's not 100% linear at all, but the most linear I've tried in the consumer headphone world - which makes them quite interesting to do sound designs on!

[@laranjiinha77]

Is that frequency response valid with or without the Noise Cancelling? Because the response is different in my experience.

[@dnoodspodu1159]

Yeah That was a real pro moment

Wonderful review, very in depth plus it’s very good bcs you’re a music guy who knows about sound so if you say the sound is good then it is.

[@SpAnKyOoO]

"Cuz I'm a sound dude" you got yourself a sub lol!!

[@sergioguzman2065]

As an audiophile myself, I can say this headphones are linear. I noticed this the first time I used them. If you turn off the ANC they get even more linear turning the low frequencies a little bit down. That's why I use the 3.5mm jack cable when I'm recording (I have the 1st gen). 10/10

[@armaga144]

Hey. I have those headphones aswell and I'm a beginner at producing music, but whenever I turn off the ANC while using 3,5mm to 2,5mm jacks it gets much quieter and feels like cuts off the high frequencies. Do you get that too or is it maybe right way to produce (with anc off)? Cause for example in my car I can hear that the high freqs might need a little boost but at the same time they sound too harsh on other audio systems. I dunno I'm just asking should I turn off the ANC while making stuff or doesn't matter?

[@ivanaviNiebla]

@@armaga144 These QC35ii have something that improves the frequency response when you turn on the ANC. Sorry, I don't really remember the terms, and I don't know if it is like an integrated software. But it is when the ANC is ON (and the headphones are wired) that you get the flat frequency response. If you turn off the ANC, they sound wrong, the FR gets very messy. So you better keep it on. I think this was explained in the review of the youtuber DMS. And, by the way, although they can be powered by a phone, a good amp improves the sound a lot, I honestly wasn't expecting it because I was told that if headphones have good volume, then you don't need the amp, but it turns out that more power allows the bass to rumble as intended, and the highs to sound better, even the soundstage gets bigger. I'm still impressed by the QC35ii 3 years later.

[@jasonmusic3]

You surprised me bro at your understanding of music reproduction. Thank you!

[@ylondes9927]

I have them, and they're hands down one of the greatest purchases i've done. If you'll get a headphone you gotta do it right and for a pretty big 'investment' like this, youre gonna get a lot out of it. Perfect for the amount of traveling i do aswell. Though the soundtest dousnt really do it justice. There's way less bass lol

[@Nihadha138]

[@musoseven8218]

Great review. The QC35ii's are 'industry standard', they seem to have the 'x' factor too. Who cares if they have 'old skool' buttons, they work well, the Sony's (Sony is a brand liked in our house), can, by all accounts, be problematic when using the swipe/touch feature. I've a friend who uses QC35's with an aviation mic and loves them - light aeroplane use is a tough gig - when he's not flying, he uses them as ordinary headphones (although they're far from ordinary).

Does the audio change when the noise canceling is off compared to when it is on. If yes, how does the noise canceling effect the audio?

Sorry for the late reply! Yes it does change. The bass gets a bit more "soft" and indeterminable. And in general the low frequencies are not as powerful. And of course your ears also get a sense of space and reverb, because you can hear more of the room you're in. A little hard to explain, but I hope that helps!

[@zirak93-2]

@@joshuacooray7786 It's normal, but they should be diminished. With my bose, they get much lower. Also, the background noises become much lower. But once you play music, even calm classical music, the background voices should disappear. Unfortunately, with Bose QC 35 ii technology, they are not able to cancel out high-frequency noises like a train coming towards you, like the Sony Xm4 which are much better than the Bose. But from my experience, Bose gives you more comfort and you can wear them longer without any ear fatigue. Also, they don't make your ears so sweaty in warm weather. Nevertheless, they need to work on their ANC because Sony is superior at this part. Also, with their headphones, the volume needs to almost be at max to have an enjoyable volume. That comes from a person that hates music with very high volume. What's normal volume level with other headphones, including Xm4, must be at almost max with the Boses. I just hope these issues will be fixed when they release their Bose QC 45.

This really helps me out specially since u seem to know what your talking about thanks 😁 yes I agree I also need to put my volume to a rather high level to have an enjoyable time , but also I wanted to know more if the headphones sound louder at max volume when their used through Blutooth when compared to using them wired ? Cuz when I use my Bose QC 35ii wired it doesn't get as loud as if I were using it switched on and through Blutooth , especially for KZbin videos using wired is less loud than if I were using Blutooth

[@zirak93-2]

@@joshuacooray7786 Yeah, I tried the wire once just to check the volume issue. The volume level was similar to how my wired Apple headphones worked. The volume was enjoyable at 40-50 %, but once I switched to Bluetooth I had to go up to 70-80 % to get the same volume. Looks like is something Bose has deliberately done and I think the reason is to avoid their customer to listen to music at high volume for a prolonged time since it can damage your ears. At least, that's my speculation. You'll not find this problem on Sony's XM4. I think this is something the company decides to do or not. I also have a pair of wireless Jay headphones with the same issue. Looks like bot Bose and Jay does this to make their customer avoid listening to music at a high volume for a longer time. What's really the con with this is that if you have a track with lower volume, you won't be able to hear this on a satisfactory volume, unfortunately.

Bose though for comfort. so On the go i pick up the Bose, but for higher quality listening i pick up the Sony, set my android to LDAC and rock FLacs.

But if you’re into more bass, which punk rock music often sounds awesome with imo 🤘🏽 then the H900n is quite good. They are substantially cheaper than the Bose as well - at least in my country. The noise canceling is not as good as the Bose though - or the Sony 1000xm3. But it’s better than on the h900n’s competition in the price bracket.

The new model is Bose 700, but I think the QC35 holds up really well to this day. If you're interested in in-ears as well, the new AirPods Pro is a really good option. It's crazy how good the noise cancelling is in those, considering the size. But yeah, if you're looking for over-ear headphones I would say the QC35 is definitely still a buy in 2020 :)

Sony WH series have better low end response.

[@zirak93-2]

If you don't mind hearing high frequencies like a racing car and sacrifice that for comfort go for QC 35 ii. If you want to isolate yourself from all other sounds go for Sony XM4.

does this support dolby atmos in apple music??????

I love bose QC35ii. XM3 sound muffled and too much bass.

[@voqzmk2]

Are there still any ANC problems? I need them on the plane and when in the car, I've read that they made the ANC worse through an update. Should I get the Sony WH-X1000xm3 or the QC35 ii?

[@larryjames1731]

I bought both with WikiBuy for the price of one of these. Love em both one PC one TV....

What are your priorities? I can tell you which ones to buy but first tell me your priorities

[@1brianmorales1]

Also you should wait for the Sony wh1000xm4 i saw leaks of the price on them through Walmarts stock it is 349.00$!!!

[@voqzmk2]

@@1brianmorales1 Hey, I bought a Sony WH-XB900n 2-3 weeks ago, it's really good and the price is also good.

[@zirak93-2]

XM4 or XM3 if you prioritize ANC and more functions over comfort, less sweaty ears in hot weather, and user friendly (with physical buttons). On the other hand, if you want higher comfort, less ear fatigue, easier control buttons (physical buttons are better than tough in my opinion), go for QC 35 ii. It depends on what you prioritize. :)

does it make sens to use them wired to an audio interface ? I can't connect them with BT to my desktop :)

[@RozilioMusic]

You could absolutely do that! You might need an adapter from mini jack to jack depending on the interface :)
