Bose QC 35 II Review - Is Google Assistant Worth An Upgrade?

2017-09-25
the bose qc25 two were leaked back in august and the biggest addition to the bose dc35 2 is google assistant integration with a few new noise cancelling headphones on the market of the bose qc25 2 still King we're about to find out don't forget to Like comment and subscribe and you can watch some of my other videos here after you're done watching this video the both QC 35 - coming the same black and silver colorways as the original post QC 35 the currently rito for 349 95 like the oj bose qc25 did when they first released and knowing bose they will rarely go on sale and the OG bose qc25 have gotten a slight price cut to 3 29.95 if you want to pick either of these headphones up i'll have links in description below and i'll keep them up there so you can get the best deal possible packaging is identical on the bose qc25 2 so you want to double check if you've got the right box if you're buying them at the store you get a hard shell carrying case on micro USB cable for charging and an audio cable but with the bose qc25 2 you don't get an airplane adapter but it really shouldn't be a problem because planes these days either use the standard audio jack or you can just use one of the two jacks because the reason planes have dual audio jacks is for redundancy on the outside the bose qc25 2 is identical to the original bose qc25 except for the addition of a new button on the left ear cup and I'll go into that in a minute build quality is still top-notch you've got a stainless steel headband that has no problem flexing the body panels or glass filled nylon and are more durable than plastic panels you've got synthetic leather on the ear cups in headband and there's the same Alcantara on the bottom of the headband that helps a headphone stay in place when they're in your head the ear cuffs swivel and pivot gracefully and the padding is very soft and stays cooler for longer than other headphones the best qualities of the boss CC 35 have always been comfort and build quality on the right of your cup you've got the same binds as before there are two volume control buttons in a multi-purpose button tap once to play or pause your music tap twice the skippers track tap three times to go back to track and press and call to activate Siri if you're using them with an iPhone and the bose qc25 two are still using bluetooth for that too so you get the same range of around 40 feet and you can connect up to two devices at the same time which is great because it makes switching from your phone to your laptop super easy also for those who plan on using a wide connection with the boss you see 35 to just know the headphones themselves have a 2.5 millimeter jack instead of your standard 3.5 millimeter jack which will make replacing boses cheap included audio cable a little harder but here's the first problem with most QC 35 - when other manufacturers release updated versions of their products they usually upgrade the battery life but the bull of CC 35 - still have the same 20 hour battery life with noise cancellation turned on like though G boasts QC 35 and they also had the same quick charging plug them in for 15 minutes and you should get about two-and-a-half hours of playback time and I know some people are gonna say they should have switched out the micro USB port for USB type-c port and I agree when it comes to audio quality the ballscrew c35 - sound the same as the og bose qc25 and that's not a good thing if you ask me sure these sound good and they have a good amount of death and the Volkers are good but there's no bass compared to other options out there and sometimes the highs just crash and you can't adjust the EQ from bosses app so you have to download a third-party app to do that and the number one thing I wish the bose qc25 2 fixed was noise cancellation and unfortunately they did it like I've said the past the bose qc25 gives me headaches and they have a lot of cabin pressure when noise cancellation is turned on and after using the sony 1000x and - which have no cabin pressure you can feel the difference immediately if you were expecting performance improvement on the noise cancellation there is it so what is different under both QC 35 - the only difference is the addition of the new action button on the left ear cup and google assistant integration and even if you have an iPhone you can still enjoy google assistant all you have to do is go into the app store and download Google system what's Tesla stock price Tesla is trading at 350 dollars and 67 cents a share after hours down 0.12 percent from closing its 442 p.m. you have any recent updates if you click the action button once Google assistant will tell you the time and any notifications you might have if you press and hold the action button you can talk to Google assistant and she will respond to you through the headphones just keep in mind you have to keep the button pressed down while you're talking and release when you're done it's kind of like a walkie talkie using Google assistant on an iPhone is limited but you can still use the multifunction button on the right ear cup to activate Siri by pressing and holding so you get two assistants at your beck and call and personally I like that because for simple stuff I know Siri can get it right and for more complicated questions I like to use Google who was the president eight years ago George W Bush and Barack Obama were both President of the United States in 2009 who was president eight years ago let's see what we can't find here's what I found on the web for who was president eight years ago have a look but naturally using Google assistant with an Android device will be far superior what's the weather going to be like in New York City here's the forecast for New York City it's 5:30 6:00 p.m. you don't have any recent updates set a timer for five minutes okay five minutes and here we go what else can you do here are some things to try you can say things like navigate to work or play Hispanic instruments just swipe to see more suggestions what's my current battery status sorry I'm not sure how to help but I'm still learning show me YouTube results for Sony 1000 X m2 playing results for Sony 1000 xm2 on YouTube but if you don't want to use the action button to activate google assistant you can also just repurpose that button to toggle to your active noise cancellation you've got three seconds to choose from there's high where the headphones will block out everything there's low where the headphones will let in a good amount of noise in but it will still filter out noise pollution like the whirling of an AC unit and then there's off but keep in mind you can still toggle through the noise cancellation settings directly from boses app on both the new both UC 35 2 and the older boss QC 35 and here's the test of the microphone on the boss PC to b-52 I think it sounds pretty good sure we gonna be taking phone calls with the headphones on that shouldn't be a problem but honestly I see no reason to upgrade from the bose qc25 to the bose qc25 2 if you're trying to choose between the two models I say just get the o.g bose qc25 save yourself 20 bucks and go have yourself a nice lunch bullets should have taken this opportunity to improve their battery life improve their noise cancellation and improve their sound quality because everybody else did but instead they slapped on a button and called it a day and honestly if bose is so eager to jump into the voice of system gain protective just achieved the same thing by pressing and holding the multi-purpose button maybe the biggest change to the bose qc25 2 might be the PCB so it can handle google assistant but it still looks like all the processing takes place on your mobile device so I wonder if the original bose qc25 can also get a google assistant integration and if so is bose just keeping that feature behind the paywall hey if you enjoyed the video please like and subscribe it helps out more than you realize for more product reviews and deal alerts check out Jim Carrey that net if you want us to put the channel pick up a shirt and I'll catch you next time
