Review on Black Bose QuietComfort 35 II Wireless Bluetooth Headphones with Alexa Voice Control and Noise-Cancelling Technology by Chong Won ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I am delighted, the product is really worthy.

I replaced the old wired headphones with these headphones. There is a slight audio delay, but for watching most videos it is not critical. You can watch movies and TV shows very comfortably: there is no noticeable desynchronization of speech with lip movement. In dynamic games, the delay can already be critical, but in extreme cases, headphones can be connected via a wire. Headphones are omnivores, you can listen to music of different genres, since the sound is quite neutral. The bass is raised, but not much. They perfectly reproduce music at low volume: the feeling that when the volume is reduced, the headphones amplify the low and high frequencies without touching the middle. This is similar to the loudness feature that amplifiers put in to improve sound at low volume levels. Noise reduction is excellent: it suppresses not only monotonous noises, but also other extraneous sounds. With the noise canceling turned on, you find yourself like in a cocoon, cut off from the outside world. Noise reduction, of course, misses loud sounds, but, as I understand it, this is done for security purposes. The headphones are comfortable to wear: they are relatively light and do not put much pressure on the head. By the way, the headphones do not support aptX. In a blind test, I personally can't tell the sound from a wired connection from a wireless one, as there's no obvious difference. The myth that the SBC codec kills sound quality is just a myth. Unless you're a sound engineer or some kind of sound designer, chances are you won't be able to tell the difference between a wired connection and a bluetooth connection using the SBC codec.

Pros
  • Sound, good volume, excellent noise reduction, comfortable to wear, quality materials and workmanship, hold a charge for a long time, charge quickly, convenient controls, automatically connects to the last two devices when turned on (but at one moment only one of these two devices can receive a signal ).
Cons
  • There is no auto-on function when putting on: you need to turn on / off the headphones with your hands using the switch on the right earpiece. You cannot charge and use the headphones at the same time. When connected by wire, you will not be able to use the microphone on the headphones. The application is rather modest. There is no equalizer or any other way to adjust the sound of the headphones through the application. When connected wirelessly, the headphones have two modes of operation: headphones and headset. In the headphones mode, the sound is reproduced with high quality, but the microphone does not work in this mode. In headset mode, the sound quality is the same as from a telephone handset, but the microphone works. Thus, we have a choice: to hear sound in high quality, but without a microphone, or to hear sound in low quality, but with a microphone. When connecting headphones to the phone, switching to headset mode occurs automatically, but on the computer you may need to get into the playback device settings and make the "Bose QC35 II Hands-Free AG Audio" device the default playback device.
