you asked they delivered the k7 xx from a kg and mass drop is back with memory foam ear pads a detachable cable and premium sound for all-around listening click the link in the description below before the drop ends what's going on guys welcome back to the channel hope you're all doing well today I am clearly not in my traditional studio setting because I'm actually out of state visiting family for the week which means part of this video is brought to you by beautiful Chesapeake Virginia now of course that's not what this video is about but rather the journey that I took to get here because before I hopped on my five-hour flight I ended up picking up a set of these these are the Bose QuietComfort 35 series - the hot long-awaited successor to the series ones which were critically acclaimed for having amazing active noise cancellation supreme comfort and pretty decent sound actually for a wireless bluetooth headset it does have a built-in mic so I guess that makes it a headset um we're gonna be talking about this and sort of my experience with it what I've found to be good and not so good about this new headset from Bose for starters these launched with an MSRP of 350 dollars and that's of course the same price that the series one was when it first launched years ago the overall design language on these cans is pretty nice I mean it's super simple but somehow manages to not be boring and they look really nice when you're wearing them and stuff there they're definitely stylish but also understated so they're not going to be overly aggressive and attract too much attention which I actually like additionally we've got sort of a plastic housing all around which surprisingly is sturdy for how light it is and I will say the exception is with the adjustable headband you actually get some metallic construction here so no matter how many times you do this it's probably gonna hold up fairly well over time you also get an Alcantara headband on the the inlay here which is fantastically comfortable actually everything about this headset makes it supremely comfortable for long periods of listening that's that's including the very soft of the touch ear pads I wouldn't call the memory foam but they're incredibly soft they're kind of like having pillows on your ears and additionally you've got just a perfect clamping force for my sized head anyway I kind of have an average-sized head I feel like the clamping force is spot-on the only thing I will say is that when you're actually not used your headphones and your your turn turning the ear cups out like that they're a little bit tight around my neck in particular unless I completely extend the headband so bear that in mind if you're kind of person who just likes to have them relaxed they're not the most comfortable in that regard but everywhere else absolutely great I also appreciate how flexible these ear cups are you can pivot them in nearly any direction and that helps them just sort of go with the flow as you move your head left and right additionally you can fold up the entire head set to a pretty small size it comes included with a very compact travel case on the right ear cup you get a power switch that also acts as a bluetooth pairing switch and pairing this guy is super quick and easy I had no issues whatsoever connecting it to my pixel one and additionally at the bottom we've got a micro USB charging port it does come included with a charging cable as well charging time takes about two and a half hours but you get twenty hours of playback time and that's with the active noise-cancelling enabled Bose also claims that with just a fifteen minute charge you get two and a half hours of playtime which is great if you're in a pinch next to the micro USB port we've got a battery life LED indicator which will flash orange as your charging and will turn solid green to let you know that it's at 100% next to that is a Bluetooth led it's a pairing pairing led of course and that's right next to a trio of buttons the ones on the outside are your volume up and down and they're slightly raised a little bit higher than the multifunction button in the middle which is you know gonna be for like play and pause for music tracks movies etc and the fact that it's a bit recessed makes it really easy to locate any of these buttons while you're wearing the headset which of course means you wouldn't be able to see them so good on Bose for making these really easy to locate by touch on the left ear cup we get a large action button which summons Google assistant which is pretty cool so if you're a user of Google assistant then you can basically access it tell it to do things for you without ever looking at your phone that includes things like you know telling me what time it is what's the weather like right now set a reminder for this call mom and the list goes on and I'll be honest I use Google assistant all the time on my phone but I can't personally see myself using it much while wearing a headset like this and listening to music or something like that some people might be different so I think at the end of the day this is gonna be one of those features that you either really need and are gonna use all the time or something that you can honestly live without now if you don't have a need for Google assistant you can actually reprogram the action button to adjust the level of active noise cancellation I think you have to download the Bose Connect app in order to do that but once you do pressing the button once will adjust it from either off to low or high noise cancellation at high noise cancellation I can't I can hear probably ten percent of the engine noise on the airplane it's it's actually really good and it still retains its title in my opinion as being one of the best active noise cancellation headphones over ear headphones I should say on the market finally on the bottom of the left ear cup you get an auxilary port meaning yes you can use these as wired headphones which would basically save you a ton of battery life I think you go from twenty to forty hours of playback time and they do include a I think this is a mini jack to a 3.5 millimeter cable for you to use now when using this as a wired device you have the option to keep the headphones on or power them off if you power them off you're actually entering passive mode which means you're disabling boses own DSP or digital signal processing which basically equates to not the best sound you actually have a slight reduction in just the amount of balance and crispness of the sound quality and this is something that I've noticed personally and have also noted in other reviews at the end of the day you're gonna get the best quality sound out of these cans by keeping them powered on now as far as the actual sound quality goes I think these things sound great honestly for $350 Bluetooth headphones I mean bear in mind these are Wireless guys so you're not gonna be hitting anywhere near audiophile territory but for the average user these are gonna sound fantastic as is the case with a lot of Bose products these are fairly bass heavy but don't get me wrong they still have some pretty crisp sounding mids and highs as well I feel like those have been tweaked a little bit overall giving you a pretty balanced sound signature that again to the average Joe is gonna sound great so summing things up here guys I've only spent about 24 hours with these things so far but I'm already in love with them they are by far my favorite headphones to travel with especially if I'm flying mainly because of the active noise cancellation and yeah they're and they're extremely comfortable I'd love to actually test this out in a gaming Senay to see if this would even make a decent gaming headset if you guys think that'd be a cool idea leave me some love and some feedback in the comments below additionally if you already own a series one headset then I wouldn't say that this is worth upgrading unless you really need that Google assistant however being able to change the active noise cancellation on-the-fly is super handy but if you don't have either headset and this is definitely worth the 10 or 20 dollar premium over the last generation but guys that's gonna do it for now thank you so much for watching this video the birds are getting mad at me now for taking over their spot but hey toss me a like on the video if you enjoyed it it helps a lot and feel free to subscribe to the channel for more tech stuff coming at you really soon have a
