Bose - QuietComfort 35

I can't speak for current models, but I have a pair of Bose QC35 Mk1s that are now 10 years old. I've had to replace the earpads and the headband as you'd expect since they disintegrated years ago, but that's easy enough with Ali Express. They're still on their original batteries and can supply days of use without being charged. Other than that I know Bose is a bit of an overhyped brand and it's the only Bose product I own..

interesting, ive got the QC35 Mk1, been through about 5 or 6 pairs of foams as used to use them in a hot engine room so would be pretty manky. i've been getting the AliExpress replacements and they're fine. I've just recently replaced the battery myself as was lasting about 10 hrs, $25 replacement, 30 mins to replace and now back to new. i live in mine all day at my desk. I've strongly recommended to colleagues getting these I'd just buy a 2nd hand pair and slap some new foams on them.

Bose QC, 35,45 or ultra are all fantastic over ear options. Been using the QC35s( Gen 1 *no Alexa button) for more than 5 years now honestly I have no intention of replacing them. If you’re an in-ear person the pod pros are hard to beat.

I use bose qc35 gen 1

I use the AirPods Max and they work well. I used Boss QC 35 earlier but the ear muffs aged rather poorly. I would always have black residue on my neck from the wear.

I bought a set of Bose QC35 headphones when they first came out. Now, 10+ years later, my children are using them and battery life still is fine.

I have the QC35's and they do not block out voice...at all. Other sounds, yes.

You should mention a specific model. I have the QC35's and they don't block voice at all.

Nope. I have the QC35's and I can hear everyone with ANC on.

I've tried **Airpods Pro 2** and **Bose QC35**, and I can still hear all of the conversations around me. I sometimes feel like I'm the only one doing any work as practically everyone else is bs'ing about non-work topics. But since working in the office for several days a week is mandatory, I gotta deal with it. I recently got a pair of **Sonos Ace** headphones, and they block out almost all of the conversations in the office! **They are best so far** but still **not 100 percent**. Also since they pair with my Sonos Arc home theater set, I often forget to put them into my work backpack and then I'm stuck with my Airpods. So having another pair is necessary. I plan on trying the popular **Sony WH-1000XM6**, but I haven't ordered them yet. u/Weary_Cattle7284 Let us know what headphones you try and what headphones you end up getting. Also, if your office has small meeting or special purpose rooms, you can hide out in those when you really need to focus. I can do low "CPU" tasks while hearing outside conversations. It's when I'm working on a difficult or complicated task that I need to eliminate all distractions.

Thank you. I’ll look into AirPod max. I have over the ear Bose Q35 and they weirdly aren’t as strong as my Ear buds. It might be newer tech. Who knows? My problems stem from sensory overload and trigger sounds from autism. The tinny staticy sound from FaceTime is especially bad for me. The music is slightly more tolerable. TikTok can burn in hell.

I’ve had my Bose QC35s since 2017. I recently replace the ear cups because the leather on the old ones was cracking. They’ve been honestly fantastic headphones though. I take them on every flight for watching movies and sleeping, and I use them in bed when my wife is asleep. I know Bose has replaced them with the QC Ultra now, so I’d look at those.

Recommended. Got mine in 2016 or so. Replaced the padding once, no issues, wear them almost every day.
