Bose QuietComfort 35 Series II vs Sony WH-1000XM5

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...

The pressure is a little to much on the top of the head and around the ears. I have to adjust the head phones to sit at a slightly different angle every few minutes. Battery life is excellent. I haven't used them long enough in one sitting to actually get them low on battery

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

However, if there are loud noises in the background, the noise gate in the microphone will make you sound a bit muffled while still letting in some of the noises from your surroundings. My top choice in this call quality category still remains the Sony WH-1000XM5.

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.

And so they did an even bigger version of the same thing, sliding design, magnet in the case and everything. And I'm slightly annoyed by the much bigg...

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 ...

In fact, that's very likely. That's one of the ways that they can actually listen to the world around you as your ears would hear it in order to cance...

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

2. An openback Bluetooth WH-1000XM5 v.O (version Open) with EQ, LDAC etc. just without ANC

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

Some may not like that they don’t fold down but the case is slim and it should mean better durability in the long run so I have no issues with it at all as far as that goes. My only real complaints are that the wear sensor rarely works, really 1 out of 10 times will the headphones pause when I remove them…I don’t know if it is because of the sensor being set inside the fabric vs. outside like the M4’s, or something else. May be just my unit I suppose

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.

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

Perhaps some of these issue could be fixed by updates perhaps not. I'm giving this 3 stars mainly for the fact that the price increased and not all of the features are completely flawless. I don't think the price for an upgrade from the XM4's or other headphones in similar price range is worthy. Don't get me wrong, it's great and all, just not worthy as an upgrade
