hey what is up guys I'm Kim PhD here and this is the Bose QuietComfort 35 the QC 35 s these are the successor to I guess pretty much the gold standard for premium noise cancelling headphones at this point which is the bose qc25 these have obviously you know that red and black so they got some color we're going on with them but these have been my go-to for you know train rides and flights for the past couple years so naturally when you get a successor to them you kinda have to wonder you know what's different about them and are they worth the difference in price on amazon right now the qc25 are 300 bucks and the new QC 35 are 350 bucks now in a pair of really premium noise cancelling headphones you look for a couple things build quality comfort sound quality and then of course how good the noise cancellation actually is now build quality is just fine here it's nearly identical to the QC 25 s there are pretty overall lightweight pair of plastic built headphones pretty flexible and that's actually what makes them so comfortable that they're so light and flexible and along with the super soft foam on the top band and the super soft leather ear cushions that go over your ears all of this combines together to make them really comfortable if anything the QC 35 s are just a little bit heavier than the 25 since there's now a small rechargeable battery in them now but you probably won't notice that so wearing these headphones for long periods of time like a long flight is still no problem Comfort is a huge plus for these now since they're wireless you do have a couple other things to worry about and those are the controls and battery life controls have moved from the inline wire and Mike on the qc25 two buttons on the back of the right ear cup here and they're all the same so the play/pause controls the volume up and down skipping tracks etc and they're all pretty tactile quality buttons which is important when you're pressing them blind and battery life is also top of the line now I've only had these for the past couple days about the past week or so but the 20-hour active battery life seems to hold up now every time you turn them on it tells you when the Bluetooth is paired and it also gives you the battery percentage of what's left so when I turn it on last I had 63% so I feel like I could finish out the rest of the week with a lot more heavy listening of these and not have to charge it till the weekend so that's good and I feel like if you could listen to pair of headphones for the entire week and charge it once a week with a lot of heavy listening you pretty much don't have to think about it that much so battery life is another strong plant with these now sound quality is pretty much exactly the same as a QC 25 s which is to say pretty good but nothing spectacular it's nothing that's going to blow your mind at all it's just like a normal pair of closed back headphones you aren't buying these two monitor for music production or anything like that they're obviously very vibrant and colored and I'd put them on par with other 150 to $300 headphones in terms of clarity and detail but again it's wireless so that's nice and it actually comes with a wire in the Box on the bottom of these headphones you have a micro USB charging port on the right ear cup and yes you do get that mini cable and a three-and-a-half millimeter headphone jack on the left ear cup and that wire is included to either plug it into something that doesn't have bluetooth and just listen to them like normal headphones or plug it in and use the headphones without noise cancellation so if you just want regular listening with no noise cancellation you have to do it through the wire but you can't do it wirelessly and then the noise cancellation itself Bo's does this pretty much better than anyone else it's kind of what they're best at there's microphones as you can see all around the outsides of the headphones to pick up outside noise and frequencies and just cancel them out so if you've heard bose noise-canceling headphones before you know exactly what i'm talking about it's great for flights it's great for loud environments trains buses basically anytime you want to cancel out the outside world and just hear your audio just listening to your music isolated I mean that's why you buy noise cancelling headphones in the first place so I'm happy to say that Bose has put together a complete package here with the QC 35 s they'll be replacing my QC 25 s even has things like NFC built-in for quick bluetooth pairing by tapping it to your Android phone so that was convenient and there's the carrying case as well that's pretty similar to the one that qc25 s had since they fold up the exact same way plus they carry extra cables now - and again that's ideal for traveling and just tossing the headphones in a bag or a backpack or something and there's the flying adapter - since they know that people use these a lot on planes so coming back to that price difference basically if you want to have specifically noise canceling wireless headphones then you have to pay the extra 50 bucks to go with the 35 s but if you just want know is canceling headphones and you don't really care about the convenience of having no wire then this is just fine the 25 s are functionally pretty much exactly the same as the QC 35 no wire slightly shorter battery life single triple-a battery also has a wire 50 bucks cheaper for the 25 s that's their breakdown but bottom line is if you're looking for noise cancelling headphones in general in a premium sort of $300 price range you should have these on your shortlist either way that's been it thank you for watching if you have any other suggestions for headphones or audio products or anything else tech related you want me to take a look at feel free to leave it in the comments section right below that like button and I'll be down there answering your questions as well that's been it thanks for watching and I'll talk to you guys in the next one peace
