I am amazed at how well made the product is, just magical!

Chose between Bose QC35 (II) and Sony wh1000 second generation. The third then only appeared over the hill and was not available for purchase here. There was a temptation to take the second generation from Sony at a sale for 18 thousand. But I read the reviews and did not. Sony does not work with two devices at the same time, people complain about the comfort, as well as the headband cracking. In terms of sound quality, at least according to the rtings. Com charts, bose leads by a slight margin. I personally did not listen to Sony headphones, I can not say anything. Plus, I'm not enthusiastic about touch controls in principle. Especially in our latitudes, where it fails on the street already at -5. Of the pluses of Sony - longer battery life, a mobile application, if you like to tinker with the equalizer, a little better noise reduction (and the ability to adjust it to the environment).
Feel free to buy. For the official price of almost 28 thousand, it can be a little expensive, but they can be seen periodically in federal networks for 21k at numerous sales. Well, or in general, on Ibee, take the usual QC35 without an additional thousand button for 15.

Pros

1. Adequate control with physical buttons. I can't stand all the "swipe up on the right earcup to turn up the volume" stuff. 2. Noise reduction. Attenuates approximately 70% of the noise of a subway car in motion. If you turn on the music, then everything is wonderful. In an airplane, the results are a little worse. About 10 years ago, I had headphones from Sennheiser with battery-powered active noise cancellation. I thought that technologies since those times have stepped far ahead and the noise reduction has become an order of magnitude more efficient. But no, he is good, but the miracle did not happen. Do not believe in the story about "put on headphones and it became absolutely silent." 3. The sound quality is very decent. The sound is universal, for all genres. Surprisingly pleasant and soft bass. It sounds a little better over the cable (and the volume margin is much higher) than over bluetooth with the AAC codec, but I can't say that the difference is just stunning. 4. Support connect to two devices at the same time. Switching between sources is instantaneous (see below for some details). 5. Excellent ergonomics. They sit well on the head, do not cause discomfort during prolonged wear. Ears don't sweat. I managed to test them on two five-hour flights. When you take off your headphones when landing, the impression is that they were not on your head. Folds up for carrying in several ways. Convenient carrying case included. 6. Normal build quality and materials. Nothing outstanding, but the design is solid. For the money, however, I would like something more premium. 7. Battery - ok. He honestly keeps his declared 20 hours at high volume.

Cons

1. Reserve volume in wireless mode. In principle, enough, but back to back. 2. There are minor software problems. For some reason, the volume buttons do not cause a pop-up volume slider on the poppy, but the volume is changed. Sometimes switching between headphones and laptop speakers behaves inappropriately (switching does not occur, the sound continues to be played in the headphones, even if the laptop speakers are selected). Sometimes the seamlessness of connecting to two devices disappears, let's say you listened to music on an iPhone, then you decided to listen on a poppy, then the connection to the poppy does not happen instantly, but with a lag of a few seconds). There are random disconnections from devices, the application says that the device was disconnected due to an error (very rarely) All this is treated by turning the headphones off and on. 3. Doesn't remember your preferred noise reduction level when turned on. By default, it always connects high. If the headphones are connected via a cable, you cannot select the noise canceling level. It is either on or off. 4. In the cable connection mode, the buttons on the headphones do not work. At first I sinned on the complete cable, but then empirically found out that it was not the case. 5. Only support SBC and AAC. Apple technology works with AAC by default, so this is not a problem for me. But they say that some people know how to convince themselves that they notice the difference between sbc and all sorts of ldac / aptx. 6. Zhmotskaya equipment. Complete wires look like some kind of alias from Ali for $ 2. They clamped the adapter to the aircraft headphones and the power supply. It doesn't seem necessary, but it's a shame. Charging via micro usb in 2022. 7. The software is not as cool as in similar headphones from Sony. There are no various noise reduction settings, an equalizer and other marketing chips. I am absolutely indifferent to picking in the settings, so this also did not become a problem.
