World-class noise cancellation

Years of research went into them so you'll get more out of them. Better quiet, better sound and better for your music.

Volume-optimized EQ gives you a consistent, balanced performance. Even when you have to turn it up on a plane, the sound stays true to your music.

Rechargeable lithium-ion battery delivers up to 20 hours per charge so you can listen wirelessly for longer. Or, with the included backup audio cable, you can plug in and get 40 hours.

    BOSE produces a winner again !!!
    5 Stars
    BOSE produces a winner again !!!
    I purchased QC 35 wireless headphones from Amazon a month back, and I am completely satisfied with the product.What's in the box: QC wireless headphones comes with USB charging cable, Audio cable for wired connection, Airline adapter and cool looking carrying case.Look and Feel: Headphones looks sleek and extremely durable. It was built with impact resistant materials, corrosion resistant steel and glass filled nylon according to BOSE Corporation. The headband is wrapped in Alcantara (materials used in yachts and high-end automobiles) The ear cushions are soft and feels great over the ear. It is manufactured from synthetic protein leather.Battery life: When it comes to wireless headphones, battery life plays a major deciding factor for me. As for as, QC35 concerned, it excels in battery life. I use at least 4 to 5 hours daily while working and I charge once on Sunday evening, and the next time I would charge only on Thursday night. That's almost 18 to 20 hours of battery life. Just for this feature, I would highly recommend this product to people who are heavy users. Also, when you switch on the headphone, a voice prompt tells you how much the battery percentage is remaining. That is a nice feature.Connectivity: Connection to any Bluetooth device is a breeze. I connected several devices so far. The only thing I was not able to connect was my PS4, and that was due to an issue with PS4 firmware not supporting this headphone. The moment a device connects, a voice prompt will tell you the device it connects. It spells out the device name. When I pair to my Samsung cell phone, it spells out the name as S-A-M_S. It does it for all the device. Also, the audio cable comes in handy when you can't connect to a device. I use audio cables to connect to my PS4. The audio jack is connected via the slot provided at the bottom of the left ear pads.Ease of Use: The process to connect to Bluetooth and switch on and off is all done by one simple toggle switch on the right ear pad. When it is in off position, a red dot will show next to the toggle switch and a green dot will show when it is in ON position. Also, You need to hold the switch towards the green dot to connect to a Bluetooth device. At the bottom of the right ear pad, you have the multi-function button and Volume +/_ button. The multi-function button initiates play/pause and other track controls for videos and music, answers and ends calls, and can also initiate voice commands such as Siri or voice dial. At the top of multi-function button, 'Volume +' button and the bottom of the multi-function button you have the 'volume -.' This arrangement makes increasing and decreasing volume intuitive.Sound Quality: The Bass is very balanced, and it does not rattle your head. Highs and Mids. are crisp. The sound quality is exceptional. But I don't expect anything less from a BOSE headphone. Good sound quality is almost a given for me as I have used several BOSE products and never once I have disappointed with BOSE.Noise Cancellation: Hands down, the best noise canceling headphone currently in the market. If you want to experience the magic of this headphone, go to a crowded place and just switch on the headphone, You will be transferred to a place of tranquility and peace. I work in an office where there are constant noise and phone conversations from adjacent cubicle.When I use my headphone, I completely love how effective the noise cancellation works. I use it all the time during Lawn mowing, Vacuuming ... You will feel a faint rumble and nothing else. Also, the microphone is designed to allow enough ambient sound in, while taking a call so that you can hear yourself.Overall: I am giving five stars as I did not find any negatives so far after one month of use. My top features are Battery life and Noise cancellation. That alone takes this headphone to the top among its competitors. The Headphone is built keeping long hours users in mind. You won't feel any pain or discomfort wearing the headphones for 3 to 4 hours straight. If you are looking for a solid noise cancellation headphone, which is aesthetically great, sounds fantastic, easy to use and long battery life, don't look any further than QC 35 BOSE Wireless headphone. You won't be disappointed.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Still the best headphones - EVER
    Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2024
    Color: SilverStyle: Headphones onlyVerified Purchase
    I bought these in June 2017. I still have them and they still are the best headphones I have ever owned. The earpads have frayed so will need to be replaced, but still, even after all these years the sound and bass is incredible. I originally bought these for work because the I wanted the noise cancelling and they looked comfortable. They completely exceed in both qualities. The noise cancelling is great (not total cancelling but extremely noticeable, particularly if you take them on a plane or work in a louder environment. The comfort is just like a pillow hugging your ears. I have never had issues with pairing, and the wireless is simply solid with no drops unless you go pretty far from the device. As I said the sound quality is amazing. Nice mid-to-high ranges and a satisfyingly deep bass. The only downside is they are not as loud as some other headphones, so you will need to turn up the volume quite a bit on the device or pc you are connected to if you like it loud. If you are looking for a great headphone and don't want to spend the near $400 for the v2, this really is still a great option and I would definitely recommend it.

    Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2017

    QC35 -vs- MDR1000X

    +PACKAGING - SONY - (Obviously not particularly important, but if you're giving them as a gift...) Bose's packaging is tight and simple, I like it, but Sony's had a lot more thought put into it and creates the feeling you're opening something grand.

    +ILLUSION OF QUALITY - SONY - The look and feel is far superior to the Bose as far as out of the package handling.

    +CASE - SONY - While I really like the Bose case (especially the nifty little fabric tag which shows how the headphones fold into the case), they came with a bunch of little disposable foam pieces to protect them. Once those pieces are removed I can hear the ear cups shift against one another from time to time. The Sony case has an integrated fuzzy divider to prevent the ear cups from touching. (It also has a diagram for folding, but not as cool as the Bose diagram.)

    +BLUETOOTH - BOSE - Both connect equally quick and effortless, but Bose allows you to connect to two devices.

    +VOICE PROMPT - SONY - You may disagree, but I found the Bose voice prompts to be super cheesy. They do not sound like a $350 dollar pair of headphones. My $20 Plantronics earpiece as a much cleaner sounding voice prompt. Sony's sounds fantastic, but by necessity the Bose [try] to tell you specifically which device has been connected/disconnected. (I say "try" because it couldn't pronounce my device name.)

    + CONTROLS - SONY - Hands down Sony takes this. The touch controls on the ear cup rock. They're intuitive and work perfectly. Swipe forward/back to skip tracks or up/down to adjust volume. Tap to pause/play. The NFS is nice too. Tap or swipe your phone on the ear cup and it connects, then tap the ear cup with your finger to begin play of last track you were listening to. With my ZenFone I don't even need to unlock my phone for this.

    Although I do prefer Bose's physical toggle switch for Power. I don't care for holding down and waiting for the Sony to turn on. And while the Bose phone app allows you to set timers if you plan to sleep w/ them on, I prefer the Sony auto shut-off after a few moments of no longer receiving a signal, especially as someone who is likely to set them down without turning them off.

    +BATTERY LIFE - SONY - The Sony definitely keep going beyond what I'd expected. The Bose were pretty much what I'd expected, very good play time, but not quite as much.

    +NOISE CANCELLATION - TIE - I know most believe the Bose to have better noise cancellation and at first I was inclined to agree, but after submersing myself in a degree of different environments I found they each seem to have strength over the other with certain tones. MAYBE the bose are a little better for a livingroom full of "normal" activity. Machine noise seemed to be a little less obvious with the Sony, but again it's so close it doesn't even matter.

    +PHONE CALLS - TIE - No obvious advantage for me. Both are fine and far superior to most other products on the market.

    +COMFORT - BOSE - NOTHING IS AS COMFORTABLE AS THESE. These are by far the most comfortable headphones I've ever worn. They're lighter, the "leather" is softer, and they're not quite as snug on the head, but they don't slip.

    +SOUND - SONY - More than half the music I listen to sounds significantly better through the Sony. The Bose sound great and are especially good at making some poor quality recordings sound pretty good, but ultimately the Sony sound more like studio headphones, true to sound. The Bose seem to excel with Bluegrass, Country, Classical, anything where a lot of midrange can be appreciated, but can really overwhelm some music such as Punk or Hardcore with too much of said midrange. That said, The Sony really deliver across the board. If you're listening to Hip Hop or Drum and Bass, you want the Sony. And just because the Bose seem to excel with Bluegrass and Classical, I'm not saying the sound quality is necessarily better than the Sony even in those categories. The Sony deliver.
    _________________________

    If you're going for comfort then there is absolutely no question; BOSE. Great for sleeping and traveling.

    If you're going for sound and you plan to pump a lot of music through them; SONY. More music will sound really good on them and the battery will last a little longer. And if you have an Android, connection and control is simple while standing in a rickety subway train.

    That said, I don't know that either of them are really worth the price. I have both, and I have a pair of Logitech 7.1 Dolby surround sound gaming headphones with USB dongle that sound incredible with movies (far better than 7.1 in a room, as the acoustics in the headphones are perfectly controlled, and far better than either of these), and they Cost a $160. Needless to say they're not Bluetooth (and they have a giant mic arm on them), but I have a hard time believing that you couldn't find something for less that half the price of these that would deliver nicely.

    The Bose QC 35 headphones are a tour de force in headphone technology. They incorporate Bluetooth wireless, microphones, noise cancellation, comfortable cushioning and over-the-ear isolation, and on top of all that, they talk to you!

    When you turn the device on, it reports its battery state and what devices are currently active. You can pair it with numerous devices but it will only play audio from one device at a time. It has some kind of built-in logic to allow your phone to interrupt another device. For example, if you are listening to music on your laptop which is paired to the phones, they will switch to your phone if a call is coming in. (You can ignore a call by pressing and holding the "Multi-function" button on the headset, situated between the up- and down-volume buttons.

    To turn on the headset, slide the power button to the central position. To put the headset into Bluetooth pairing mode, push the power button all the way to the right (it will spring back). The headset will then report to which devices it is currently connected.

    I've already brought the QC35 on a couple of plane trips, and it has performed quite well, muting the dull roar of the engines down to almost complete silence. It's the only way to really enjoy a video or music on a flight without jacking up the volume to harmful levels in your ears. Now that the FAA has relaxed the electronics-off rules, you can leave this device turned on the entire flight, from take-off to landing.

    Phone calls work well with the QC35; just put them on and pair once with your phone, and you are good to go. Once your call is under way, you can put your phone back in your pocket where it belongs, and talk wirelessly. It's also handy for playing games quietly on your phone or tablet. I enjoy watching Youtube or streaming movies in bed at night and this headset is comfortable for lying on a pillow, not true of all headphones.

    Bose provides a free mobile app for both Android and Apple devices that lets you set some preferences on the headset, such as turning off the talking feature and enabling/disabling some paired devices. It's handy if you wish for example to force the headset to ignore a device such as a laptop that's emitting audio and make it instead work only with your phone. When a paired device emits audio, the Bose QC35 automatically makes it the active device on the list, which you usually want, but not always.

    Back when I was working in a noisy office, I found noise canceling headphones very helpful for blocking out the world so I could concentrate. Working from home, with a noisy family in the background, I find them equally useful. They are so good that you literally might not hear someone addressing you until they tap you on the shoulder. You might not hear the microwave beeping that it's done. A phone call might be missed, unless your headset is connected to the phone. You might not hear the doorbell.

    The battery seems to last a very long time; I haven't done a drainage test but they are rated 20 hours and I have yet to get them down below 60%. They charge up quickly on a typical micro-USB charger and you can take them on a pretty long plane ride and not worry about needing to recharge. Your phone will die a lot sooner than these headphones. They will work without battery charge, by the way, if you use the included cable, though of course you don't get the noise cancellation.

    Note by the way that the battery is not user-serviceable. In other words, you can't change the battery, which distinguishes this model from the previous Bose QC 25 headset; that model runs on one AAA alkaline battery that lasts 35 hours, then requires replacement. It's a tradeoff that some may find unacceptable if they need the noise cancellation for long hours out in the field. If you routinely fly New York to Australia, for example, you're possibly going to prefer the QC25 to the QC35 because you can easily carry a few spare AAA's. On the other hand, you can also get an external phone charger battery that will top off your QC35 and still have enough juice to recharge your phone and other peripherals on a long flight.

    The kit comes with a stereo cable to connect directly to a phone or other audio source. I have yet to use it. Bluetooth is ubiquitous today and if you have an audio device that lacks Bluetooth capability, you can add it by purchasing an inexpensive Bluetooth transmitter for around $20 and plugging it into the audio device's stereo headphone jack. I'm planning to get one for the digital piano in the living room, to get away from having a wire dragging off my head while practicing late at night.

    Bose doesn't really have a monopoly anymore on sound cancellation; good noice cancelling headsets are made by many other top manufacturers such as Sony, Sennheiser, Bohm, AKG, and a host of Chinese knockoffs that range from OK-ish to very good, often for a fraction of the price. But Bose is still the state of the art in high end noise cancellation.

    Premetto che sono uno a cui piace ascoltare musica, ma non sono un audiofilo, quindi le considerazioni saranno quelle di un utente medio non esperto.
    Ad ogni modo, ho apprezzato queste bose sin da subito, esteticamente per l eleganza e la semplicità di questo nero leggermente opaco e poi per le sue qualità in riproduzione e comodità.
    L archetto e i padiglioni sono imbottiti, quindi risultano davvero comodi, anche per chi indossa gli occhiali (capita che le stanghette premano contro la parte posteriore delle orecchie e dopo un po’ bisogna togliere le cuffie) e questo, unito al fatto che tramite braccetti regolabili si possono adattare ad ogni forma di testa, fanno sì che queste cuffie siano utilizzabili anche per ore senza avvertirne il peso, poiché dotate anche di una batteria molto performante.
    Il pairing è immediato, efficientissima la soppressione dei rumori (a volte troppo) quindi ideali per ascoltare musica/film in treno/metro/aerei.
    In definitiva queste bose accontentano un po’ tutti, perché suonano bene, hanno dei bassi corposi e tutto sommato risultano bilanciate; anche se per i più esigenti c’è la possibilità di scaricare un app, per settarle nel migliore dei modi.
    Utilizzandole ho riscontrato qualche difficoltà durante le chiamate (voci non chiarissime, rumori di sottofondo) ma per il resto non ci sono grosse criticità, nessun lag o latenza; anche se non posso assicurarne la totale assenza, poiché un orecchio più attento ed allenato del mio potrebbe smentirmi.
    In definitiva però mi ritengo soddisfatto di questo acquisto, anche perché funzionano ancora molto molto bene.

    5.0 out of 5 stars It does what is claims

    I have been using it for a week now. For a short conclusion, i love the headset.

    When it comes to the details...

    This headset claims to be the one of the best noise cancelling ones out there and it is true. Unless the noise source is very close to you and is very high dB, it eliminates almost all the noise. For an estimation, i can say over %90 close to %100. Since it is impossible to turn off your eardrums, you will hear very, very little. This is when you are not listening anything on it. If you listen to something, what you play is what you hear at all.

    If you plan to do sports or such kind of activity while using it, you will be sweating from your ears. Obviously it is not designed for that. Use it when you are relaxed, sitting, want to enjoy silence, want to listen to your albums....etc. Quiet Comfort, hence the name...

    It is a comfortable headset. Yet, there is a trick to it that i use. If you let the earcups press on your ears, after some time, you start to feel the pressure. If you adjust it one notch bigger than that and let the cups cover your ears completely (your ears stay inside the cups), then you will never feel the weight of it and can use it until the battery is dead and that takes about 20 hours.

    Sound quality is a subjective matter. It gives out a decent clear bass feeling. Great mids and nicely blended treble. Here is not to expect from it: hammering bass, ~$800 open-back audiophile quality headset sound (which totally makes sense), a high volume to blow your ears (unnecessary since you listen to the sound in complete isolation).

    Build quality is good. Solid parts are very flexible. It won't brake easily. Fabric parts are made of alcantara and you can feel it is durable.

    In any non-bluetooth case, you may use the cable provided. Note that the cable does not provide microphone connection (like the cell phone earbuds with a mic on it). Microphone is still on the headset.

    This headset does what it claims. It is not more and not less.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Perfekter Reisekopfhörer!
    Reviewed in Germany on April 7, 2017
    Color: SilverStyle: Headphones onlyVerified Purchase
    Bei der Wahl von Kopfhörern kommt es meiner Meinung nach darauf an, was man sich von ihnen verspricht. Da ich viel reise, oft in der Großstadt unterwegs bin und auch gerne mal im Büro meine Ruhe habe, war mir das Noise Cancelling am wichtigsten.

    Dieses funktioniert fantastisch! Sowohl beim Musikhören als auch ohne Musik kann man sich von dem Lärm der Umgebung abschotten und in eine Art "Ruheoase" eintauchen. Ich habe, bevor ich den QC 35 gekauft habe verschiedene Modelle mit Noise Cancelling im Laden ausprobiert (unter anderem den Sony Mdr 1000x). Von allen war dieses beim Bose QC 35 am besten. Man hört so gut wie nichts ohne Musik. Macht man Musik an, hört man gar nichts. Weder auf der Straße noch in der S-Bahn, im Flugzeug oder im Auto. Ich war richtig begeistert um nicht zu sagen, es hat mich vom Hocker gehauen! Leider Gibt es davon eine Ausnahme und das ist starker Wind. Starke Böhen erzeugen ein leichtes Rauschen durch die Mikrophone. Soweit ich weiß, ist das aber ein generelles Problem bei Noise Cancelling Kopfhörern. Ein kleiner Nachteil im Vergleich zu manchen Konkurrenz-Produkten ist vielleicht, dass man das Noise Cancelling weder deaktivieren noch regulieren kann. Schaltet man die Kopfhörer ein, tun sie ihre fantastische Arbeit. Wird man angesprochen oder möchte kurz etwas hören, muss man sie abnehmen oder ausschalten. Mich hat das zwar nicht gestört, aber vielleicht ist das für den Ein oder Anderen ein Problem.

    In Sachen Sound bin auch sehr zufrieden. Hohe Frequenzen meistert er genauso wie mittlere Klänge. Der Bass ist nach meinem Geschmack genau richtig. Insgesamt ergibt sich ein sehr klares und angenehmes Klangbild und wenn man will, bekommt man auch einen ordentlichen Rums. So mancher Kopfhörer wird sicherlich einen noch etwas besseren Klang haben, da bei denen das Hauptaugenmerk darauf liegt. Dieses liegt beim QC 35 aber eindeutig auf dem Noise Cancelling. Da man dadurch sowieso so gut wie keine Umgebungsgeräusche wahrnimmt, ist der Klang rein und ausgesprochen gut.

    Zudem sind die Kopfhörer äußerst komfortabel zu tragen. Das Leder an den Ohrmuscheln ist weich und erzeugt so gut wie keinen Druck. In der Mitte der Bügel ist zudem ein Polster für den Kopf. Nach einer Weile vergisst man, dass man überhaupt Kopfhörer trägt, was auch daran liegt, dass sie sehr leicht sind. Grandioses Tragegefühl! Das ist vor allem auf längeren Reisen super angenehm. Bei mir sitzen die Kopfhörer fast mit engster Einstellung am besten. Ich habe für einen Mann einen recht schmalen Kopf und recht viel weiter dürften die Kopfhörer nicht sein. Menschen mit sehr kleinem Kopf oder schmalem Gesicht könnten Probleme mit der Passform bekommen.

    Der Akku ist der Hammer! Bose verspricht fantastische 20 Stunden Laufzeit! Ich habe mit der ersten Akkuladung ca. 18 geschafft. Man muss allerdings dazu sagen, dass der Akku, wenn man die Kopfhörer neu kauft, nur zu 70% geladen ist. Mit einer vollen Akkuladung ist also noch deutlich mehr drin - ca. 25h. Das ist überragend!! Ist der Akku leer, kann man mit dem mitgelieferten Kabel trotzdem weiterhören (ohne Noise Cancelling).

    Sobald man den Kopfhörer in die Hand nimmt, merkt man, dass man ein hochwertiges Produkt in Händen hält. Die Ohrmuscheln sind aus Aluminium und die Bügel aus einem speziellen glasfaserverstärkten Nylon. Bei der Konkurrenz wird teilweise etwas mehr Metall verarbeitet. Muss man selbst entscheiden, was man lieber hat. Durch den hochwertigen Kunststoff ist der QC 35 wie gesagt schön leicht. Steht man eher auf Metall, kann z.B. der Sony Mdr 1000x punkten.

    Den QC 35 gibt es in zwei Farben. Silber und Schwarz. Optisch finde ich Silber ein bisschen edler als das eher unauffällige Schwarz. Generell sind die Kopfhörer weit schlichter gehalten als andere des gleichen Preisniveaus. Trotzdem sind sie optisch sehr ansprechend, wenn auch kein Blickfang in 1000 Farben.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Ottime cuffie! Non sceglierei altro...
    Reviewed in Italy on March 2, 2017
    Color: SilverStyle: Headphones onlyVerified Purchase
    Premesso che non solo un esperto, quindi potrei non notare qualche sottigliezza. Personalmente sono assolutamente soddisfatto. Il design (cosa meno essenziale, ma comunque importante) è accattivante. Il fatto che siano richiudibili fa sì che entrino perfettamente nella comoda ed elegante custodia fornita assieme alle cuffie, perfetta anche per chi viaggia.

    Offre tre differenti possibilità di collegamento: 1) Wireless con bluethoot. Da notare che l'accoppiamento con i vari dispositivi è facilissimo ed immediato. Insomma... non sbaglia un colpo! 2) Tramite cavo, in quel caso senza attivare la riduzione dei rumori esterni, ma comunque con una resa a mio parere eccellente. 3) Con il comodo spinotto fornito sempre in dotazione che consente di potere collegare la cuffia ai sedili o ai dispositivi degli aerei (per chi viaggia molto utile).

    Veniamo adesso alla resa vera e propria. La qualità del suono è fantastica. Forse il volume potrebbe essere un po' più alto?!? La riduzione dei rumori esterni funziona eccome. Diciamo che solo accendendole ti isola dall'ambiente esterno. Chiaro: non completamente. Nel senso che i rumori vengono sì attenuati, ma se mi parlano accanto un poco sento sempre. Normale...

    Impressionante la durata della batteria. Si ricarica velocemente tramite usb con qualsiasi computer o tramite un'apposita presa e sembra che non si esaurisca mai. Insomma, se devo fare un volo intercontinentale (ci risiamo con i viaggi) penso che non abbia bisogno di ricaricarla...

    I materiali mi sembrano veramente ottimi. La rifinitura è fantastica. Su questo aspetto mi permetto di riservare un parere definitivo tra un po' di tempo. Purtroppo con delle cuffie auricolari Bose, anche esse dall'ottima resa e particolarmente costose (ben sopra i 100 euro), a distanza di un paio di anni e pur avendone cura riponendole inoltre nella sua custodia, mi si è sfilacciata la protezione esterna dei cavi. Funzionano sempre, ma ho dovuto "rinforzarle" con dell'apposito nastro. Peccato. Spero di essere decisamente più fortunato con le QuietComfort.

    Software: c'è un app che sembra veramente ben funzionare, che aiuta a gestire in particolare la connessione con i dispositivi utilizzati. Essenziale (non molte funzioni) ma buona. Io la utilizzo su iPhone e iPad.

    AGGIUNGO: ottima anche la qualità e la gestione delle chiamate. Ho fatto diverse prove e sento perfettamente chi mi chiama, nonché vengo ascoltato senza problemi.
