QuietComfort 35 II

As beautiful as the internals are, for over ear I want comfort. For the the AirPods Pro Max just aren’t comfortable, while Bose has been better in that regard. So for now I’m sticking with QC35II, which to me still is the king of Bose and for convenience I pair it with the small AirPods Pro series. I’d love to switch to APM, but they’d need a fully redesigned headband and reduced weight.

I’m so sorry I haven’t had a chance to reply to everybody, thank you all so much for your recommendations!!!! I’m going to let you know what I decide to invest in when I finally have enough money, but in the meantime I’m ditching my newer SONY pair for my older Bose (I think they are quiet comfort from like 2018 or thereabouts) which although they were falling apart when I replaced them were much less straining to my head.

I'll chime in with bose quality! I am still using my QC35 from 2017 and use them anywhere from 2-5 hours a work day and have no comfort issues at all (even with glasses on). Sound and noise cancelation is still super - had to change the pads and inner protection 2 times, but that's expected and there is a lot of solid and fairly priced 3rd party pads. 👍 🎧 And they are perfect for airplane trips. 🙏

I think this is the original (at least very early) model Bose QuietComfort! I had an early model (QC 35 or something like that) that worked great, eventually my teenage daughter “borrowed” it and I never saw it again.

LET ME TELL YOU GIRL!!! I’ve put all my other sound sensitive friends on these after a friend put me on them. BOSE quiet comfort 3 over the ear they’re fantastic you can even customize the noise cancelling. They emit a frequency that actually cancels out the noise

I dont own the sonos headphones, but I once owned the Bose noise canceling can’t remember the model but they were the big one at the time in like 2020; and I was really blown away those bose. Are the Sonos Ace better than those or even the new generation of Bose noise canceling over the ear? Are they better than the apple over the ear? I personally haven’t tested the apple over the ear I dont wear a lot of headphones but i do have the AirPods pro 1 and use them occasionally and pretty happy with their sound quality

This is it, my set of QC35 II's are about to turn 10 and I haven't even replaced the battery yet
