BOSE QuietComfort QC35 II

Moreilly

Not a bad price for the Bose QC35 II, €275 on amazon Germany works out around 280'ish delivered. Currently on sale in b&m stores here for €330 reduced from €399 (which is a bit high!), seems to the lowest price ever on camelcamelcamel !

Had a pair, love them but they have been missing since Sunday!! Absolute mystery of epic proportions, put them down, went out for the night and could not find them the next morning in the house!

Anyways ordered a new pair today on Very.co.uk - £289

Got the xm2s on BF for 199 on amazon spain. They are great so can only imagine how good the xm3s are.
Have never tried the bose but I'd say there is not much difference in terms of performance between the bose and sonys.

I tried both before I bought the Bose - I picked the Bose because they felt more comfortable for me. They sounded similar so it probably comes down to the shape of your head!

I tried both the sony xm3 and the bose and i preferred the bose overall as well. The anc seemed about the same on both, the sound on the sonys was probably a little better esp on the low end but there was something clean about the audio on the bose and how comfortable they felt that made me prefer the bose, all the online reviews generally favour the sony's so if i never tried them in person i probably would have went with the sonys, spent about 20 min swapping between the two and the bose seem like a pair that you could wear all day. Both very good headphones though and there is no real wrong choice as far as i can see

I'd agree the bose are more comfortable than the xm2 but the xm3 are equally as comfortable as the bose and are better sounding.. changed my xm2 to xm3... As one review of the xm2 said, he put up with the less comfort of the xm2 over the bose for the sound quality but now with the xm3 it's no contest

Is this headphone in Harvey Norman for Apple devices or Android or does it do both ?

The QC25 is wired so for the latest iPhones that don't have a headphone port it won't be much good. The QC35 linked on amazon above are wireless (and come with an optional wire) so would suit any device.

I think there are separate models for apple and andriod though, maybe its something to do with the inline remote. Perhaps this is what the poster above was referring to.

The apple version is currently £130 on amazon.

Before anyone drops a large chunk on noise cancelling headphones try them out first for as long as possible.

I bought a set of QC35ii a while back and I have to use them with the noise cancelling off as they give me a pressure headache. Apparently its not completely uncommon.

The wire works for all, apple, android and on nonmobile devices. The 'apple wire' just refers to the inline controls only working for apple. If you had the android wire, same story, the buttons can only control android. But music still goes through, whatever device you play from. I've been using mine for a stage mixer (Mackie dl1608) and audio is going through perfectly. I believe if you wanted to have audio controls for both apple and android, you would have to go to the wireless option as bluetooth controls are mostly able to control both platforms.

I had the same issue when I first got them. They made me feel woozy with the pressure around the ears, felt a bit like the onset of motion sickness. However, within a day it was gone. I often fall asleep with them on now, I find them that comfortable.

The noise cancelling is great, using them when cutting the lawn really mutes the noise. When taking them off during a flight, it feels like your ears are being assaulted by the noise after the relative quiet.

Sadly persevering didn't work for me. Have tried them numerous times with it on and I feel instantly like something isn't right. I can't dive into water because of a similar feeling of pressure so I'm guessing there's some weird connection there

I see the Bose QC35ii are only €265 on Amazon Spain. Will they deliver to Ireland without any hassle?

I got mine from there last year, no issues.

Thank you for the reply. Glad to hear that there was no problem. I’ve ordered a set tonight, expected delivery 14th Jan.

Did you receive these headphones? I'm curious as to whether the voiceover is in Spanish or English. Looking to buy from Amazon.fr

Should be getting them today, had them sent to a friend in the North for cheaper shipping. Will reply back when I've had a chance to try them out.

Kolido

I got the WH-1000XM2 from Amazon Spain on BF, voice over is in English. I'd imagine it's the same for all regions or perhaps it can be changed in the app, I haven't checked that.

jpb1974

You can change the language settings via the software. You can also opt to turn it off altogether, gets a bit annoying.

Edit. Sorry, ye are discussing Sony. I was referring to Bose QC35 II ^^^

Got the headphones earlier and can confirm everything is automatically in English, didn't have to change any settings.

Just a follow up to my own purchase. I ordered the headphones on Saturday night (after 21:00), received a text from An Post on Sunday (16:05) to say they were in the An Post National Hub, delivered to my home on Monday morning. My question is.........did they really come from Spain?

Most likely from the UK warehouse. Check the parcel tracking to find out.

Shipped 07 January, wearing them 08 January.

Bose have a 30 day no-questions-asked 100% refund policy if you end up not liking them if you buy directly from them.

Sadly, I did not do that. Bought them in the airport before a long trip!

I bought direct for their Bluetooth in ear headphones that I bought for running but the wind noise in them is appalling so I sent them back and it is a painless process!

I'll stick to the old fashioned wired in ear ones for running which are fantastic

CantGetNoSleep

Has anyone gone from these back to the QC 30 or something similar in earbud rather than over ear form?

I have the original QC35s and love them, travel a lot so use the noise canceling for it's intended use, but they are just a bit big and I often leave them behind. I'd love something similar but more pocket sized, ideally wireless too as wired earphones annoy me.

Also, anyone know how much the version 1 of these are going for second hand very good condition?

Pique

Check out the AKG N60NC. I have a pair and really like em.

More considering how much I might get if I did.

I love them, but often find I've left them at home when I am looking for them as they are a bit big being over-ear.

I've just ordered a pair of Bose SoundSport Free true wireless - but still travel every week and long haul every month or two so not sure what to do

EltonJohn69

its double the price for wireless... and the sound quality is slightly inferior..... thats not worth twice the price !!!

I use the in ear qc 20s and they are very good. The nois cancelling feature is probably not as good as the over ear options but the trade off is that these fit in your pocket!

zweton

Online still the cheapest to get qc 35s. Is there a site to monitor price drops?

pedatron

Mine have just been dispatched from Amazon.es. Hoping to have them in the next few days. Very excited as it's my first time putting serious money into a pair of headphones. Tried them in the airport recently and it convinced me I really wanted a pair! Almost bought them there and then for 400 euro!

Camelcamel is probably the most well known site, you can have them email you if a product goes below a desired price.

Keepa is good also, it's a browser extension. I'm sure there are loads more too.

How did you get on with delivery? Thinking of taking the plunge on .es, they're 259 at the moment. Did you ship them direct to your address?

I have the QC35’s but last week I bought the QC20’s as needed something that would fit in pocket on a night out instead of bringing the overhead 35’s...good decision so far!

Came straight to my own address. No issues at all. Loving them so far to be honest. Had to turn down the noise cancelling to low as I had a slight issue with the pressure on my ears! It's perfect for me on low! Might go back to full noise cancellation next week and see do I still have the issue

That's great. You get used to it after a while, they're great on a bus/luas at full NC.

I'm getting a train next weekend and am genuinely looking forward to trying it out! What has my life become?

carq

Having owned a pair of QC 35 v 1 for over a year i can safely say it is one of my best purchases.
I dont think battery level has ever dropped below 50% in that time.

Great build quality, and i wouldn't dream of getting on a plane or train without them .
It really is a game changer. only 2 weeks ago i was on a flight with over 15 babies on it and i was able to block them out with music at only half volume.

Only drawback is i cant use them for exercising as the sweat would soak into the top cushion.

Would recommend at any price.
