Introduction

Bose is a leading player in the headphones industry producing products that are famed for excellent noise cancellation features and good quality in general. The Quietcomfort 35 is no exception to these qualities, but the only exceptional feature is that this is the first of Bose’s wireless headphones. The move by Bose to produce the Quietcomfort 35 with wireless capabilities falls in line with the industry’s demands, especially when many users prefer the wireless headsets. With a stylish design, extended battery life and excellent noise cancellation feature, this is certainly one of the best wireless headsets that you can buy.

What is the sound quality?

One common problem with noise cancelling headphones is that the active noise cancellation feature tend to affect the quality of the sound. Nonetheless, Bose has done a pretty impressive job on the Quietcomfort 35 such that they have better quality sound, with no hiss or white noise. With an incorporated digital equalizer, this headphone automatically tweaks the sound and balancing the sound at all given times, with the end result being accurate and smooth sounds even at low volumes which is normally a challenge for many headphones. Generally, the Quietcomfort 35 produces great sound considering they use Bluetooth connectivity. However, one major detrimental aspect about these headphones is that they are not compatible to AptX. AptX is a codec that allows for higher audio quality due to the higher bit rate. Some phones such as the Samsung Galaxy S7 and LG G5 take advantage of this codec for better quality audio.

What is the performance of the Quietcomfort 35?

Although the Quietcomfort 35 lacks AptX support, the headphones produces pretty impressive sound which is crisp and clear. It lacks any of the flatness associated with many wireless devices as it has a broad sound range. The active EQ feature gives a base boost to the sound and this is especially felt at low volumes which tend to be bias on high frequencies. When it comes to noise cancellation; the Quietcomfort 35 does not disappoint. Just like all other Bose’s headphones with noise cancellation, this wireless headphone performs as good as ever.

Conclusion: Should I buy the Quietcomfort 35?

The Quietcomfort 35 performs well in a number of aspects. First of all, it is made of premium materials that are of very light weight and thus the headphones are comfortable and lightweight. Secondly, its active noise cancellation feature is the best in the industry. If you are looking for wireless headphones with an active noise cancellation feature, then, this is the best that you can get. Last but not least, the sound quality of the Quietcomfort 35 is quite impressive. So generally, this device would be a good buy for you.
