AKG N700NC M2 vs Bose QuietComfort 35 Series II

Although they have a slightly bass-rich sound profile, their extra thump and warmth don't bloat or muddy the rest of your mixes. Vocals and lead instruments are still clear and accurately reproduced, but if the extra bass is still a deal-breaker, you can fine-tune their sound using their app's parametric EQ and presets.

The headphones easily connected to my Bluetooth transmitter, but sound would intermittently cut out. I would be under 15 feet away. line of sight no obstacles, when the headphones would suddenly announce the transmitter was disconnected, then a few seconds later announce the transmitter was connected, and sometimes the sound would resume. Frequently the sound would just cut out

I'm not sure what Razer was thinking with their ANC tuning. It doesn't even sound that bassy, just veiled, because of the low midrange also being raised. A charitable explanation would be that it was intended to compensate for the effects of pad wear, but headphones such as the aforementioned N700NC M2 show that the problem is avoidable by dynamically adjusting bass boost based on seal instead.

It comes with a leather case for you to hold your headphones in, and I'd recommend you do that to keep them from damage. Here's the wired adapter for ...

These headphones have a comfortable fit and feel well-built. Out of the box, they have a slightly bass-rich sound profile that delivers a touch of extra thump, punch, and boom to mixes. If you prefer a different sound, their companion app offers a parametric EQ and presets to help you customize their sound. They also deliver over 20 hours of continuous battery life, which should last through long days on the go

Sound quality and noise cancelling ability is fine. The headphones itself are too big for my head and are often sliding off, especially if I move or am lying down. The ear muff piece is not as comfortable as I thought it be considering the price of the item.

If you need a closed headphone for home, you have other options that sound technically better for much cheaper like the EMU Teak. I guess this competes favorably with the Campfire Audio Cascade, but the Cascade has such a unique, bassy sound that I don’t see the Aeon capturing much of that market. I think the Aeon takes the middle ground so staunchly and fails in performing at its price level that I’ll be shocked if this doesn’t depreciate as the original Aeon does. This is, at best, a $400 headphone priced at $900

I mean really come on, at this price point, Bose has a lot catching up to Sony to do.

AKG's N700NC M2 Wireless headphones may not roll off the tongue, but at $299 they cost far less than the Bose pair and deliver a stronger sound signature, with wonderful balance and more realistic bass. In terms of ANC, Bose still has the edge, but AKG is no slouch. So if audio performance is more important to you than noise cancellation, but you want both, these headphones are a compelling option.

So why the three stars? Because to use the bluetooth feature with an Iphone, you have get an app which is $2 from the app store. Nope. Sell me a product where every feature functions, or do not advertise the bluetooth. Or, put up a disclaimer here that says you are going to have to spend more money

So why would I buy headphones that cost almost 200 bucks?!? Not sure what happened but at some point, the older headphones got uncomfortable to wear and started digging into my skull. I bought the N7000's hoping the investment would be my last and because of confidence in Samsung products (I also have a Galaxy) and they'd be comfortable to wear, sight unseen. They came in a fancy box and had some basic cables and attachments. I would not need any of these except for the charging cable because, again, I only need to use them with my TV

I think the additional connection to the PC adds complexity that needs to be vetted out for seamless functionality for the E285. Final verdict, best to worst: E285, SX4 (killer - no mute function, worse hear-through), QC35II (killers - older BT connection, worse audio, poor ANC). Literally wouldn't buy B700. UPDATE: It's been several weeks since I returned all but the Jabra Evolve2 85 (I use it 3-10 hours every single day) and my final rating is four stars while the QC35II I gave two

Callers said they could hear me well and I had no trouble hearing them. I also had no trouble pairing and re-pairing with an iPhone X and Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus. I experienced minimal Bluetooth glitches during my week or so of testing.I experienced solid battery life

Also some B&O headphones pause your music when you lift the ear cut It's also really old-school with all the buttons we have real physical buttons You...

GEN-1 have bigger space inside cup and the lessor clamping force make it unreasonably comfortable in a long session, even though I know I had to hold my head for drinking water. CM2 comes with a smaller cache pack. Yes, GEN-1 pack is bulky and I can feel it in my back pack. However I think GEN-1 pack is more premium and actually can protect the headset better

Go to Walmart/Target/Best Buy with him and have him try them on. I'm betting he'll find the QC 35's more comfortable, but if he doesn't, get the XM4s.

I opened a warranty claim and replied to the subsequent email only to be told that my units are out of warranty and that "A local service center may be able to order parts and repair it. However, the cost for parts and labor can exceed the price of a brand-new replacement." So they offered me a 35% discount on a new pair. So yeah, I guess it's my fault for not returning these things immediately after I noticed the cheap plastic cracking

Every time that I went back to the Bose, it was fast and easy. With the Sony pair, I had to go into my Bluetooth settings a few times in order to get a connection. It really wasn't a big deal but the Bose gets the edge here because it is painless and works more reliably. DURABILITY: I won't give either pair the edge here because I only had them for a week BUT do keep in mind that the Sony 1000xm1 had issues with the headband cracking
