Bose QuietComfort 35 II Deals & Offers

Bose have fine tuned the already fairly advanced noise cancellation found in the QC 25 and 35, adding three different settings for users to play around with. Choose total cancellation to focus intently on what you are doing, or opt for a little ambient noise – handy for navigating traffic or office situations where you may want to hear speech from co-workers or telephones. However, many find the noise cancelling in rivals, such as the Sony WH-1000XM3, slightly better at blocking out external noise.

The Bose QC35 ii have fantastic audio quality. The sound is well balanced, meaning music and podcasts are clear and well rounded. But if you are an audiophile, you may prefer the Sony XM3s or Sennheiser Momentum Wireless 2, especially as the Bose app that comes with the isn't as customisable as the Sony App.

Bose is renowned for the quality of its physical products, so it's not only the internal architecture which shines with the Bose Quietcomfort 35 II. The headphone casing is made from corrosion-resistant stainless steel, ensuring long lifetimes, while nylon elements are glass-filled, ensuring flexibility and strength in equal measure. Additionally, the headbands have Alcantara coverings (which is usually found in premium sports cars), while the synthetic leather earpads offer all-day listening that won't chafe or feel uncomfortable. But the design can, for some, feel a little clunky and plastic-heavy.

The Bose QuietComfort 35 ii battery life is officially 20 hours with noise cancelling on, or 40 hours with noise cancellation and 3.5mm cable. Pretty good, but not as good as the 30 hours battery life with the Sony XM3s. The Bose 35 ii also comes with quick charge as well, 2.5 hours of listening for only 15 mins of charging. However, charging is done through micro-USB, which is outdated compared to the USB-C.
