I am satisfied, the product fully corresponds to the description.

In general, the purchase is more satisfied than not.
I also want to pay attention: as mentioned earlier, the gray color really looks more spectacular than black. BUT! On gray, all sorts of spots and dirt will be much more visible. So immediately consider this moment when buying, especially since the original set of ear pads for replacement is very expensive for Bose.

Pros

After many years of using cheap Chinese plugs priced at a maximum of 2022 and the hearing problems that followed, it was decided to switch to better equipment. Based on the results of a simple reading of reviews and price comparisons, the choice fell on the Bose QuiteComfort 35, and it was the second version, because. for the price of the first and second versions are now almost the same. Immediately after the purchase, they were checked for connection to Bose connect, everything was determined and the latest firmware version (!) For headphones was downloaded. So we are not talking about counterfeit products. + First impression: "Expensive-rich." Everyone who sees these "ears" notices this. There are no complaints about the build quality. The kit comes with a convenient carrying case (but put the adapter for the aircraft connector clamped - well, okay). + The sound, of course, is also cool. Especially if you listen to electronic music (bass in full), but the middle one feels like it's missing. However, compared to some Sennheiser CX200 that I listened to for many years before - earth and sky. + Management is convenient and intuitive. One of the reasons to take the second version (even if you don’t use the Assistant) is that you can set the noise reduction level on the added button. Of course, it can also be adjusted from the application, but for some reason, every time you turn it on, it asks you to turn on geolocation, which is annoying (I usually turn off GPS on my phone). + Pretty long-lived battery - claimed up to 20 hours. In fact, they work for me from recharging up to two weeks, subject to listening to an hour and a half a day. The main thing is not to forget to turn them off after taking off the headphones, otherwise you risk getting dead headphones in the morning. + Can be used through a cord, the battery is not consumed in this case. BUT! Noise canceling and other intelligent functions with a cord could not be started - maybe I'm doing something wrong. + There are no complaints about the quality of voice transmission (during a call), the interlocutors hear you perfectly.

Cons

-The vaunted noise canceler still works strangely. On the one hand, it removes all rhythmic noises (the sound of train car wheels, street noise, etc.) perfectly (but again, not all!). But human speech (especially all sorts of announcements there in the subway and at train stations, etc.) very much skips. Moreover, if you just put on headphones in a quiet room, turn on noise reduction and just clap your hands, the sound will be heard! Well, again, the noise reduction does not cope with the subway (especially old cars) (although it jams decently, subjectively by 75 percent). However, noise cancellation allows you to listen to music at half volume, no negative effects (pain in the ears, dizziness) were noticed. And for a quiet room in general, passive noise reduction may be enough. - Another strange thing was noticed - after pairing, it clings to Bluetooth almost instantly, but there is a specific problem - you press Play on the smartphone, but the sound does not play. I have to turn off Bluetooth on the phone, and then turn it back on, after that (sometimes for the third or fourth time of such a switch), everything works as it should. The defect is "floating", sometimes it does not appear at all. Perhaps connected purely with my equipment (checked the connection with the phone and tablet). -There is no support for the AptX codec, just like any Bluetooth headphones, there are short-term interruptions in sound (but not often, mainly in public transport). Miracles didn't happen here.
