Bose QuietComfort 35

I have replaced the pads on my Bose QuietComfort 35s 3 times in the last 6 years of wearing them almost daily. It's pretty easy to do. Beyond that they've just worked, even though I've dropped them a bunch of times. Still have excellent battery life. One of the best products I've purchased in last decade.

Is the stuffed ear thing like when a plane changes altitude? That makes people nauseous? I used to dive a lot so I got this a lot but I have never heard of people getting ill because of it. Maybe it is a different feeling but from reading the comments it is like that? I am weird though; I can play VR games forever (I played Skyrim VR for 6 hours straight last christmas while my friend who was over this week had to vomit after 15 minutes) and I like the popping feeling in airplanes. I also do phone calls with full noise cancellation on my Bose 35 headphones for hours and do not recognise the feeling from any description here. I do suffer badly from car sickness but not any other movement I tried. Diving + playing in a metal band when I was young really messed with my hearing (bad tinnitus etc); maybe that is related?

I've switched across the board to wireless for the most part. I use a number of different headsets based on location, so here are my choices for various settings. Work: Bose QC35 -- sound quality is somewhat compromised but the NC and comfort levels are second to none. Bose customer service is also excellent, particularly if you buy (and therefore can return/exchange) through a branded store. Out and about: Airpods, with foam covers. Without the covers, these were very convenient headphones that wouldn't stay in my ears for the life of me and so sounded thin and leaked noise. Then I added old-school thin foam earbud covers; Amazon sells some that are donut-style with a hole that exposes the light sensors, and they still fit in the charger. They don't compare to my audiophile headphones, but they sound "pretty good"--about on the same level as my SoundMagic E10s, maybe a little better. More importantly, now I actually will use headphones for 20-30 minutes at a time on walks, whereas before it was too much of a hassle to carry a fat case around, wedge them in my ears, etc. Home, in living room: MDR-1ABTs. I don't actually like these as much as I should for what I paid for them. The pads are thin and hurt my ears. But they do connect to my Sony sound bar using their LDAC low-latency/high-def protocol, so I use them for late night viewing. Console: Playstation Gold or Platinums. I have both. The Golds are more reliable about connecting to the dongle. The Platinums fit over my PSV

I recently got the Bose QuietComfort 35 based on recommendation in a recent thread and am in love. I have no other noise cancelling headphones to compare to, so maybe I don't know what I'm missing, but these have been excellent for me so far. Usually my main issue with headphones is that they press too hard against my ears, which protrude slightly. These go perfectly right around my ears and don't actually touch them at all. I've worn them for hours at a time in the office with no discomfort. When I take them off it sounds like I'm suddenly in an airplane cabin.

I've been using Bose QuietComfort 35 and they have been great! https://www.amazon.com/Bose-QuietComfort-Wireless-Headphones...

I own several pairs of headphones and surprisingly I don't miss the jack. My daily Bose Quietcomfort 35's have excellent bluetooth and switching between my iphone 7+ and my computer is quick and easy. I keep an adapter on my home stereo aux cable. For the rest of my wired headphones, I usually use them with my computer, not my phone. I use my wired earbuds far less now, but they're great to have as backup.

The three best noise cancelling headphones right now are: 1. Sony MDR-1000x 2. Bose QC35(or Bose QC25) 3. Senheiser PXC-550 Apparently, the Sony MDR-1000X has now beaten the Bose on noise cancellation. It has a lot of cool features, such us letting you turn off the noise canceling by touching the right earphone (I believe) and touch controls. In addition, it beats the Bose with amazing sound quality. Caveat: Expensive, if bought new. There is a build/quality issue at the moment -- where the plastic in the earphone is developing cracks. So buyer beware. The Bose QC35 is/was the standard noise cancellation. I personally think this may be the best recommendation since it has been proven to be a quality product, very comfortable to wear. I personally chose the QC25 over the wireless version (to save money) and also because the QC35 battery is non-replaceable, after certain years if it dies, you cannot replace it and you are out of luck. Whereas, the QC25 batteries are AAA that you can get anywhere. It is wired version, but I am happy with it. Caveat: I own the ATH M50X, and let's just say Bose sound quality is a couple of notches below. But, if you don't know any better, you probably won't notice. The Senheiser PXC-550 has also been getting really great reviews and has pretty comparable noise cancellation as Bose (a notch below). Great sound quality. Lots of cool features like the Sony. Caveat: More expensive than Bose if bought new. I don't like that you have to position the hea
