You're a very well-spoken young man & the review was helpful. But you missed some important technical aspects. 1) The standard audio wired connection for many years now has been the 3.5mm audio jack. Everyone should know that Bose has decided to fxxx with this standard by putting in a 2.5mm jack. Then they helpfully provide a 2.5mm to 3.5mm adapter cable. So what's wrong with that? How many times have you gotten various little doo-dads with your devices, and how many times do they get lost? The whole point of a STANDARD is that you don't have to plan ahead, if a need comes up, bingo- it works. Why is this important to me? I'm old & for years, devices would either come with this really big-ass, huge audio jack or the much smaller 3.5mm jack. It took 20 years to get rid of the big ones and we've had 3.5mm as the standard for 20 more years. Remember when every cellphone manufacturer used a different jack for the charger, and what a pain it was? And how much more convenient it is now that we have the micro-USB standard? (And now USB-C, but at least that is technically superior.) So why would we want to support any company that wants to make things LESS CONVENIENT for us?? JUST SAY NO TO NON-STANDARD JACKS. /// 2) The second aspect you didn't cover is RANGE. Because I'm old, I used to use 900mhz FM headphones with a transmitter base unit. Because they were analog, you had no security. However, they had great range.. as in I could cut my grass with the base unit inside the house. NOW, with the very-low range Bluetooth specification, if I'm listening to tunes in my small condo and I go to bathroom or kitchen, the Bluetooth cuts out. So you need to carry your phone with you even within your apartment. That's not convenient. I thought progress meant things are supposed to get better? :) When you review any more Bluetooth devices, please test how far you can get before they cut off. Use the "bathroom test". Because some devices are definitely way better than others.

Not gonna lie, when you said for people who don’t like their weights in ounces I though you were going to say their weight in grams not pounds. You got me there. Great review though.

Just watched your review and I'm buying the Bose Headphones, sooooo excited!!

[@KevinStratvert]

Very nice, you're going to enjoy them :)

[@Muryohken]

If wired does it still require to be charged or does it draw power from the device it’s hooked into like a Nintendo switch, portable DVD player, old generation iPod, an iPad?

[@carlosmonterroso4716]

Great review! I'm ready to buy some Bose headphones. Would this headphones worked on android devices?

[@apratimdebnath]

bose qc35 is only good on iPhone. there is a noticeable degradation if we use it with an android phone. on iPhone, the sound quality of amazon music and apple music quality is about the same but the music quality of Amazon music on iPhone and Android phone is a huge difference. it is because of the codec support. however, when I used RHA 390 wireless the sound quality is about the same on both iPhone and Android. that's because it supports aac and aptx both. the sound quality is very nice on bose with iPhone. it has punchy bass and the mids and treble also very good. again sony xm3 and bose both are good but it depends on the person who will buy. if you want more bass then sony is good and if you want less bass and crystal clear vocals then bose is good. we can't tell Sony is good over bose or vice versa.

[@kevwilliams1]

Just a point to make .. you never mentioned anything regarding the sound quality ?

[@KevinStratvert]

5:06 for quick comments on sound quality. Cheers!

[@alytinoco1311]

[@alytinoco1311]

[@KevinStratvert]

I heart radio is a good radio app.

[@davidlovett5022]

Can I pair to wave radio?

[@KevinStratvert]

As long as it accepts bluetooth connections, you should be able to

[@ABHIJITHVVIJAYAN]

hi.. have you tested these headphones streaming movie from your laptop/PC or TV because they have a huge audio lag because they only have and use SBC/AAC codec, and for me this is a deal breaker. what is you thought about it.. because no reviewers highlight these points anywhere, they focus only on the main pros and cons, no one reviews the practicality of the device.

[@KevinStratvert]

I have noticed some issues with lag. When I edit videos, sometimes I'll notice that my lips don't quite match the words coming out of my mouth. When I hard wire connect to my machine, the problem typically goes away. This leads me to believe there's a slight lag with the blue tooth transmission. I hadn't noticed this with the original review, but something that is definitely a con.

[@CarbLoaders]

Whatever you do, NEVER UPDATE THE FIRMWARE on these if you don't want your ANC nuked. You're welcome.

[@Markus451]

Need more info pls. Warnings are meaningless if we don't know why. Why would the Automatic Noise Control be affected by an update? If it was a 'bad update', then since it's 9 months later, there's almost certainly better updates that followed.

[@SRC598]

Hey man. Good review, what made you choose this over the sony xm3?

[@KevinStratvert]

They're both great headphones -- you really can't go wrong with either. Bose tends to have best noise cancellation while Sony has best sound. I valued noise cancellation slightly more than sound. Here's a good rundown of the two: www.tomsguide.com/us/bose-qc-35-ii-vs-sony-wh-1000x-m3,review-5909.html

[@moncastro5329]

Kevin Stratvert m3 are good in sound quality but during calls they are sucks specially in noisy ambient like bus train i need to return my m3 and get another pair of qc35ii if you are more on calling buy bose but if u care only about sound quality buy m3
