With the controversial absence of Headphone Jack on the iPhone 7, Accessories companies are busy churning wireless options with busyness and it is true as Bose it is like other big audio brands.
Its latest quiet Comfort 35 Over-The Year Headphones ($ 350) is a wireless version of the company’s flagship premium QC 25 cans ($ 300), which is seen as the best active sound-painting offer of the business.
The same established design and patent ANC smarts of QC 35, so that as the owner of a pair of original quiet comforts 25 headphones, I was interested in seeing how the new Bluetooth model was compared.
Design and features
The box of QC 35 is reminiscent of QC 25 and the compact travel case that folds the cans and proud of the same assured URD. You get a thin 1.2 meter lead for wired connections, a micro-USB and the same airline adapter from USB charging cable.
Although the QC 35 cans are taken out and weighing against the wired models, it is clear that the conversion of Bluetooth means the little weight of QC 35 – 115 grams, should be correct, for a total of 309G total. So what brings the connected custody?
As you can see from the pictures, there are very few differences between the two models cosmetically. The steel headband has been expanded in the end, and the single AAA battery buggy is replaced by a integrated, non-installed battery (up to 20 hours in wireless mode and wired to 40), including a micro-USB port for recharging.
A dual microphone system hidden inside the metal-Capped ear cup that filters the words surrounded by equal anti-audio waves produced by the two owned ANC Signal Processor, which helps to make your voice during the calls.
Also new is a trio of physical control at the edge of a dynamic volume-loving EQ, the built-in Voice Prompts and the left can edge: a larger multi-function button set between the two volume buttons that controls, finish and start series with a long press.
The Bluetooth pair process is integrated into the original power switch and slides the switch until the power LED is blue. The wireless range is described as 33 feet (10 meters), which comes out in the next test.
Equalizer and sound profiles are not featured in the Bose Connect app, perhaps because boss is satisfied that integrated digital EQ takes care of all. It leaves the software options extremely basic, limiting you to operate devices, selecting an auto-off timer, updating firmware, disables voice prompts and changes the language.
Performance
The connection came down only when I was listening to the music in the kitchen and the microwave was on the kitchen and the microwave was turned on with my iPhone 6S, iPad mini 4, and MacBook Pro. There was no problem switching to the two devices of the cans and switched on them and all my devices were later remembered and automatically re -paired.
Although the controls were not as intuitive as the Inline Remote of QC 25, it was felt well placed and several phone calls were taken while walking along the road, the new ANC-Microfone pair did a good job to reduce the sound of the sound without refraining the voice during the conversation.
Despite the overweight, I do not feel uncomfortable to wear QC 35 even after I have done it for a long time. The wide headband here seems to be a masterstroke, evenly offsets the excess weight between pivots and cups, undoubtedly being assisted by soft synthetic skin cushions around each ear. In terms of comfort, these headphones are really the best there.
Audio Wice, QC 35 also did not disappoint, provides good healed buses and great sound separation, especially including materials of materials. They will lose a bit in the mid-range while listening in wired mode while the ANC is closed, but Bluetooth Battery Life is long enough to not be a significant concern. Plugged to a MacBook Pro, a complete charge took about two hours – fine.
The entire audience experience was always benefited from on-ANC-effectively mute the drone of the jet engines during a domestic flight, for example-the lower-level calculations of the sound system were barely audible, even less. Whether sitting in my living room or standing on the sardine-can-cannon, I left the overriding sensation of cocoa in a personal bubble of the word.
Bottom line
I will miss QC 35. The interior of the cans between my iPhone and MacBook quickly turned into a second nature because I switched my wired QC 25 to the device relatively positively. Although Bluetooth’s practices are rarely among them.
The higher quality of canceling the boss’s patent word is so well established nowadays that it feels almost unnecessary to decide on it. Despite saying this, I do not consider Bose ANC untouchable with similar systems on cans like parrot zic and senhaizer PXC -550, I am now offering almost good performance in recent exams. I didn’t notice any practical improvement on the ANC of QC 25, so the case you can make that boss is fixed when its rivals are caught.
Although it doesn’t take anything away from QC 35. In the case of marriage isolation, comfortable with quality audio breeding, they are still full packages. Is the $ 50 $ 5 in the premium-dum set already in the premium-dum set justified the conversion of wireless? It may not be, but it is less than ‘courage’ than the convenience.
There are a few more alerts. The rechargeable battery is not as replaced as the parrot zic 3.0 (for example) that can turn off something. Driven ANC does not work in wired mode When the battery dies Either, however, the passive isolation given by the ear cup seals provides a decent buffer against the noisy environment.
