[@VladimirKostek]

Just FYI they are on the best sale ever today for prime day today @ $200 👉 amzn.to/4dJb2E4

Nice video. Appreciate the straight up sincerity that comes across in your review. Thanks.

[@VladimirKostek]

Thanks for watching! Glad it was helpful

[@sanketsathe4239]

Great short and sweet review. Thanks. Just bought it for around 158 dollars with all coupon and bank discount.

[@VladimirKostek]

Wow that's a steal!

[@SN-tf8ye]

Where did you buy it from??

[@sumitbegwani]

Dude is it the same qhixh is seen in amazon ???? @sanket

[@sumitbegwani]

@@SN-tf8ye i guess amazon

Amazing video, definitly deserved a like and sub😊 Only thing I kinda miss is the comparison against the QC35 II, you mostly compare against the QC45. I can get the QC35 II from a friend (as good as new) for €150 or the new QC (new) at €209, the ultra's are a bit too expensive for my taste. I mostly watch movies and call with friends, which one would you recommend? I saw somewhere that the QC35 has some of the best sound quality you can get, but I couldn't find it back😅

[@VladimirKostek]

Appreciate that :) The qc45 and new quietcomfort sound better imo, I used to daily drive the qc35ii for a while. It's hard to reccomend the qc35ii as it's almost 8 years old now and uses micro usb (in a now usb-c world). My advice would be to wait until next week for black friday/cyber monday. The deals should be pretty good from what I've seen on prime day etc. That 209 will certainly be lower, hope that helps!

[@galaxic_]

@VladimirKostek Thank you very much for the reply. I also shared the concern about its age, and I kinda felt that the QuietComfort fit a little better. (a slightly bigger earcup depth if I remember correctly) Will get the QuietComfort, thanks again for your review! :) Sadly I dont see the prices dropping anymore since every store is already doing black friday here, including amazon with -15% (from €246 to €209), every other store has the same price.

[@VladimirKostek]

@@galaxic_ NP, you are right they are actually at the lowest price ever rn so I would be surprised if they drop much more

[@galaxic_]

@@VladimirKostek Hey sorry to bother again, I had one more question. I saw some people complaining about the Sudden spike in the high freq and hard drop (on the frequency chart) Did you experience anything weird with higher songs and sounds?

[@VladimirKostek]

@galaxic_ I might have noticed it once or twice, but I usually use a custom tune ( nice thing about a modern product, is the app is up to date) there are 4 preset modes you can select if you have any personal issues with that. Or do a custom tune for your liking or to better match the genre of music

200 bucks for prime day today. I bought Christmas presents today.😂

[@ambiven10]

Is QC comfort an upgrade over QC35?

[@VladimirKostek]

I would say so, I don't miss my QC35s. The ANC and Sound quality has been improved, the earpad changed slightly too

[@ambiven10]

@@VladimirKostek thank u

[@ambiven10]

@VladimirKostek which one you like better between xm4 and qc comfort? I tested both on head yesterday. Xm4 clamping force seems a little higher and seems 16 gms heavier which i could feel , but people say sound quality of sony is better. Thoughts?

[@VladimirKostek]

@ambiven10 XM4 certainly wins for sound quality and codec support. I prefer comfort tho as I usually use these for long sessions on flights, at the library or coffee shops. Hope that helps, I do find the QC a tad more comfy hence the name haha

[@Larryy1221]

I'm looking to buy a pair of headphones that will be great for movies, gaming (especially FPS games), and music. I'm considering either the latest Sony ult wear or the Bose QuietComfort . Since this will be my first pair of high-quality headphones, I'm not very familiar with nuances like mids, highs, lows, or bass.. Which one would you recommend?

[@VladimirKostek]

Hi Pratik, Those are both pretty good sets. I would say the Bose has slightly better noise cancellation and sound will be quite comparable btwn the two. The sony XM5 or the bose qc ultra have the best sound quality of these but they are much more $. Hope that helps and as for sound eq they both have apps that you can modify those so I wouldn't worry about it depending on which version you decide! Hope that helps 🎧

[@bburnok7551]

Have you noticed any channel imbalance with your pair? That's the only thing holding me back from buying it

[@VladimirKostek]

I have not had any on my pair

[@piquica]

Good reminder about Prime Day! Even so, it’ll still be a pricey purchase. Are there any similar headphones at a lower price point that you recommend?

[@VladimirKostek]

True, Senheisser ACCENTUM and sony Ult Wear are good cheaper alternatives. Even the older Bose QC35 ii is a great set. I linked them all in the description too

[@piquica]

@@VladimirKostek Thanks for the recs!

[@04Ammy04]

I heard it has static issues. Have you experienced that?

[@VladimirKostek]

All ANC headphones will have a tiny bit of background hiss if you really pay attention, but it has not bothered me at all.

How to experience special audio on these headphones. Any app available

[@VladimirKostek]

The Bose App has the EQ and other settings

[@sunnysree]

@@VladimirKostek QC Ultra only supports for spacial audio through Bose app. not supported for QC. Any third party app available for spacial/3d audio for general Bluetooth headphones like QC, as per your knowledge …. Please suggest

[@VladimirKostek]

@sunnysree sony has one i believe at least on android maybe iphone too, I tried the QC ultra and wasn't really a fan of spatial audio

[@sunnysree]

@@VladimirKostek Thanks for your replies🙏🏻….. I thought of buy QC ultra by sold my new QC. To experience spacial audio . Is that not that effective

[@Tanu_.b1]

Would you recommend them for the gym ?

[@VladimirKostek]

I've used them in the gym and they were fine. Over ear headphones can get a bit hot so I do prefer in ear wireless like the galaxy buds 2 pro I reviewed. It's all personal preference really tho.

[@bodkin5]

If you do wear them to the gym, I recommend you give the ear pads or wipe down every time because they start to peel if you have too much oil on them

[@VladimirKostek]

Yes good point! ​@bodkin5

[@paulbiado9014]

Great review, just what i was looking for!

[@VladimirKostek]

Glad it was helpful!

[@chrisli2558]

Will the aftermarket ear pads you linked fit the new quietcomfort? The product page says it’s for the qc15, 25, 35, and 35ii

[@VladimirKostek]

Indeed it will

Woah, those are good prices!

[@oddchip2657]

Can you workout in these I’ve been looking at tons a reviews and no one has mentioned it

[@VladimirKostek]

Hey! In short you can workout with them and I have, I don't find overear headphones the best in general because they get kinda hot. That is just personal preference though, they don't move around too much when working out as they are relatively light fyi.

[@bodkin5]

Any suggestions for replacing the headband? The leather has started to peel and they don’t offer replacements for this my headphones are old had them for about seven years I think that the 35s but they’re still amazing and it doesn’t sound like I need an upgrade other than the appearance.

[@VladimirKostek]

Certainly, check the vid description. I have a link two 2 Replacement options there and a guide too!

[@kenw6047]

I agree about the sound, too bass heavy and sibilant to me even if i EQ -10 bass and treble. Horribly unbalanced and bloated. I feel like everyone thinks Bose still produces a neutral sound because of their past sound signature, but man nowadays the bass amount takes me back to 2010 Beats by dre 😂

[@VladimirKostek]

I have noticed some sibilance too, depending on the genre of music or movie I will tune it. What is your most used EQ setting Ken?

[@kenw6047]

@VladimirKostek I think I was using around -10, -3, -7 but still couldn't get it perfect. So my bose is up on ebay now 😅

[@VladimirKostek]

@@kenw6047 it would be nice if they added more options than just the 3 in the eq

[@VladimirKostek]

Have you considered the ultra?

[@kenw6047]

@VladimirKostek The ultras I heard were really nice! I wanted to test them out for sure but was just a little expensive for me. With this recent sale on the Beats Studio Pros for $179 I went with those haha. Honestly much better sounding than I expected and pretty neutral as well, just the build quality is a little cheap!

[@rahulrock1562]

I am having this headphones. when I used to put it in quite mode , I can still able to hearthe background noise clearly such as people speaking nearby and music playing nearby. And when i asked chatgpt it tells like it works effective to block low frequency sound like airplane hum and high frequency sounds like people conversations can't be blocked. Is it true.? can you let me know..

[@VladimirKostek]

That is generally pretty true if you just have the headphones with ANC on, they are much better at cancancelling out low frequencies and some mids. The highs don't cancel out as well. However when you are playing music too I don't find people talking to be very loud Most of the time I can't hear them.

[@rahulrock1562]

@@VladimirKostek Yes. when we are listening to music with anc turned on with 80% of volume, We can't hear the background noise mostly. But when we don't do any work and just put in quite mode, then we can able to hear them clearly.. And it can't able to the block the voices which is very near to the headphones.Due to the more sound waves.. And most of the time we won't listen music right, sometimes we will listen lectures, at this moment is there any possible ways to block more noise.?

[@VladimirKostek]

@rahulrock1562 there isn't really unfortunately, just make sure the firmware is up to date. I'm assuming you are using the standard ear cushions?
