Is Bose Qc35ii Worth The Money Reddit

Are the Bose QC35 II worth it?

Hi! I've been thinking about buying them for some time but I have two doubts. On one hand, I wear glasses and I don't know if they are comfortable to wear. Also, it's expensive so idk if it's worth the money, if the ANC is good enough to pay the price or if I should go for it's main competitor.

level 1

go for bose bro 1000% worth your money. I can't see any other brand being better than bose.

level 2

I can't mention it bc of the rules, but there's another brand which is said to be better at noise cancelling

level 2

There are much better options out there for sound quality. The ONLY category that the QC35ii holds as the leader is comfort.

level 1

I wear glasses too and the Bose qc 35 is are the best, they are super comfortable even with glasses and a hat on.

They're worth it. The ANC is amazing too.

level 1

I love mine. I think my Sony xm3's edge them out ever so slightly, but both are great choices, and often the Bose are a bit cheaper bc of their age. I still use both

level 1

Look into the refurbished ones if they are available. I got mine refurbished and its perfect, save some money too.

level 2

Do they work good? I'm worried if i buy them refurbished they aren't gonna last. But how much did you pay for them?

I just bought a pair after deliberating for a while, and due to the pandemic thought "I might be dead next week", and treated myself!

They are utterly amazing! Well worth the money. Comfortable, lightweight and noise cancelling perfection!

I wear glasses and I have the QC 35 IIs! I've had them since Christmas time and I looove mine so much. They are really comfy, but after a few hours the top of my head starts to hurt (as it does with all headphones) so I just take a break for 15-20 minutes and I'm good to go! Great battery life, being able to sync to 2 devices is convenient as heck, and great noise cancellation.

level 1

Best advice order both and try them for a few hours. Return the one that is less comfortable.

Also a deal breaker for me with the Bose over competitors is the ability to be connected to multiple devices for source audio. Ex. Phone and computer connected for seamless transition

level 2

That's a good idea, but i live outside the US so that's not possible. Thanks though!

I love my QC 35 ii's. I've been using them for 3 years with no issues. It does depend on your use though. Some competitors may have better ANC. But bose is definitely amazing in this category. I use mine for studying. So I wear them for 6-8 hour study sessions and have no issues with comfort. If you're looking for insane bass or really an audiophile, some competitors can beat bose. But man if you're looking for great sound, great battery life, great ANC, and absolutely AMAZING comfort, I don't think anything beats Bose

level 2

If comfort is a priority the Bang and Olufsen H9i is also a contender. Bose doesn't blow everyone out of the water.

The H9i is slightly less comfortable, sounds much much much better, has equal battery life and marginally worse ANC

This makes them pretty similar in the categories you listed so not really blown out of the water

level 1

I've had QC since 2016 and I wear them every day I couldn't recommend them enough

level 2

Is the cabin pressure annoying? And are you able to change the noise cancelling level?

level 1

I love them. I normally fly a lot and keep them on throughout the travels. It decreases the noise and vibrations of flight even if I'm not listening to anything. The audio quality is good and it's fairly reliable in use after 3 years of heavy use. Go for it!
