Rated 5 out of 5 by Jack73 from An honest review from a average consumer Before I get into it I will say I am using a iPhone X. Sound may vary slightly or significantly depending on the device you are using. To start of I will say I have owned a pair of black Bose QC35II for about 3 and a half years now. These are very special headphones. Some of you reading this might be thinking “jack you should have gotten the sony or the senhieser or the bowers & Wilkins” some of you reading this may want to know if you should get a pair of Bose QC35II or NC700. Simple answer. Get the Bose QC35II they are better in every aspect. Great for gaming, great for music, great for music. Now I’m gonna get nerdy and get into some specs and what I do to make these headphones better. What makes these headphones so special is the active sound management for every volume level. Bose has used this technology for years and years but every time they come out with a new headphone. It gets better and better. Low volumes sound rich and full. High volumes sound rich and full. High volumes on the QC35II can come off as sharp sometimes. I feel as if the Bose QC35II lean towards the iPhone users side. From better audio to ease of use the iPhone is superior. I think this may be due to the fact Bose works directly with apple to use the same audio codec as apple (aac). Below you will see some photos off the frequency response of the Bose QC35II. Very very well rounded headphones. The bass is clean and tight. Proper (excellent). The midrange is very crystal clear and adds almost like a echo presence to the music (fantastic) and the treble is wavy and can be sharp at high volumes. (Good but not great). I use a third party app for Spotify premium called “MyUra” With the app I am able to upsample. Choose how soft or hard the music is (algorithm) and i am able to change any frequency between 16hz and 32khz. This is good but you have to be proper when changing frequency response. Don’t just go all out with bass. These headphones have plenty of high and mid bass... what these headphones suffer in is very low LFE (low frequency extension/effects) I know that Samsung and lg have sound correction built into their phones. They play a series of frequencies and you click yes or no if you can hear it or not. Then it adjust the sound accordingly. Which is nice I’ve read good things about the sound correction on Samsung. keep in mind this is important, EVERYBODY’S EARS ARE DIFFERENT. These headphones are very comfortable. These headphones are also very special to me. They are red white and blue. I went for colors that represent the usa. And I’m just a kid from a small town in Ohio. But I love this country and that’s why I decided to create these headphones. These are not the kind of headphones to be working out with. Unless you are rich and can afford 10 pairs. The noise cancelling is now a little out of date since the NC700 came out. But still better than the NC700 in every aspect. I recommend the website “Rtings” for headphone reviews. They cover everything. And they also have a direct comparison between the Bose QC35II and the Bose NC700.
