i love it partially because no more annoying cables

The cable for use with airplane screens is essential, and easily replaced if lost (no need to buy the expensive cable from Bose, they are readily available online)

WH1000XM2The sony has a bunch of Bluetooth codecs Aptx Aptx HD AAC LDAC and includes a good 3.5 inch stereo cable if you want to use a wired input--plus it has better noise canceling and battery life than the bose QC 35I checked a lot of reviews on youtube and online, nobody mentioned the lack of Apt X codecs.

For $350 though, I was a little disappointed with the completely useless, tiny charging cable they included

At this price point you should be receiving nice quality cables of sufficient length for charging

USB charging cable, and the other gripe is the proprietary cable....

and if you lose the cable you have to buy it online

The audio cable that comes with this thing basically outright disables the microphone (not that it matters anyway; the audio cable doesn't come with a splitter that'll let you use both which seems pretty stingy for $350 headphones..

The headphone cable is twice as thick as the thin, cheap-looking cable that comes with the Bose

Without repeating the praise everyone else has heaped upon them, I'll just add that the included cables are cheap, thin, and short.

The A/C is loud, someone is playing metal shredding on the SONOS sound system, my coworkers are always on some sort of call and their voices carry

>QCII is the most comfortable b/c it's light, little clamping pressure, and good headband cushion

barely.- Microphone bad (C

I turned off my iPhone EQ, and, holy c&@p!

Got confused couple of times which device is being connected to, but overall it supports two devices best as from my experience with other devices.

Yes, that's as lovely as you are imagining it is, lol.

They feel cheap and come with a very poor quality assecory cord and recharging (it's about 4 inches long an so difficult to reach a charger)

I use it regularly for taking phone calls in a noisy, open plan office environment as well as for traveling on planes

The noise reduction with Sony was nearly as good as with using hearing protection ear plugs

Extremely disappointed as I was excited for the Bose Q35 II.

Own multiple DAC's all the way up to $2000 devices, multiple $500+ headphones which I used to compare these headphones against streaming both Spotify as well as

I really wanted to love these - as I had wanted to when I purchased a pair of original QC35s

Headphones looked new, no wear/tear or markings, and everything worked as it should, so I kept the headphones and had some of the price refunded

Soft as

Oh an not really durable for someone who is not going to treat their headset like newborn baby

Noise cancelling is amazing, I preset the button to noise cancelling levels as I use the other phone brand.

>QCII is the most comfortable b/c it's light, little clamping pressure, and good headband cushion

Comfort: Pretty good (B+), enough to last 10 hour flight with just occasional

Why not the VMODAs? - uncomfortable clamping force, but great foldable compact headphones w a good detailed soundWhy not the B&W P9? - not foldable and has clamping force around earcups, but love the sound (by far the best amongst wireless headphones), love the premium material (feels worth the price tag), and small ear cups (so doesn't look bulky but sleek, although ear cups were uncomfortable)Why not BO H9? - not foldable/travel -friendly, not much else that stands out over others

As far as sound quality goes, the soundscape is nowhere near as rich as the B&Ws; there's something insubstantial about the sound coming from the Bose.
