Bose QC35 comes at a not cheap price
The batteries now used are not standard
it cannot play on 0% battery even
leather and foam padding used on the headband is irreplaceable
It feels weird at first and somewhat uncomfortable
the leather was ruined in less than a year
mind your credit card taking a pretty hefty hit
estimate it rears its head twice an hour)
Higher-pitched sounds like sirens or car horns squeak
lack of a replaceable battery
QuietComfort headphones relied on a single AAA battery
newer MacBook models have ditched the native SD card slot
cheap
vertical dock does not add a lot of connectivity options
5mm headphone jack
There s more padding on the underside of the headband
QuietComfort range had only one major drawback the wire
The design is a bit weird
The mids are perhaps a little lacking
there are no fancy textures or ornate sculpted elements
voice recognition a little hit and miss in loud areas
headphones feel cheap
Bose took that superpower and made it wireless
background noise was picked up and made conversation difficult
eerie to begin with
wireless will never reach the quality of a trusty wire
charge very fast and the controls are tricky to master
They also lack smart features such as ear detection
they lack virtual assistant support and relies on some proprietary components that
lack of a built-in battery (an AAA battery
are no EQ settings
no custom voice
no messy wires getting in the way of my body and the seat belt
noise cancellation is not active by default in the wired mode

atrocious lines
the cramped seating
the overpriced gum at Hudson News

The mids are just slightly muddy
and bass lovers
very flimsy Beats Studio Wireless
the tuning isn t bad
don t fold and seem bulky in comparison
gooey-soft memory foam ear cushion padding
boring
flat-sounding wireless headphones
the Beats Studio Wireless seem inferior in many ways
the bundled USB cable is ridiculously short
noise will be a nuisance to them and not you
Microphones are scattered on the inside and the outside of the headphone
how much battery is left and lets you rename the headphones
how Bose tends to cut off highs leaving less detail
Bose products are so hard to hate
it s still so hard to justify the $350 price tag
of headphones requiring an app feels positively silly to me
The headband is a little wider than the older wired QC25 headphones
mean they re the best-looking headphones around
the headphone is heavier than the QuietComfort 25
Bluetooth wireless negatively affects music playback
all ambient sound is very loud and distracting
not a fan of untangling cables at the bottom of my backpack
worn mediocre noise-cancelling headphones

steep price of headphones in general
Bluetooth can suffer from interference
audiophile who needs to own seventeen pairs of headphones for each musical style
audiophiles and cannot distinguish between good and bad audio
headphones a little over a month
the focus is music
not audio calls
Apple also does not provide instructions on how to upgrade
Bose has stood still while its rivals have caught up
high-end model will move from Intel to Apple silicon
no word on what features might be included in the refreshed firmware
a micro-USB port
dull looks will catch the fancy of most average users

The battery is not user replaceable
It lacks the glamour of unboxing a gadget of this calibre

soaring high pitch does not sound disorienting
the mids had a bit more emphasis
highs do slightly overpower the mid frequency range
no way to deactivate active noise-cancelling
forget there s not a cable in sight
Bose certainly has not compromised is audio quality

doesn t feel tight on the head and soft on the ears
5mm audio cable dangling around your neck for good
