Hey there. Sorry for the delay since I was traveling. I tried the earbuds out at Sony Store Ginza during the Headphone Park event and was impressed. They didn't seem to mask as much noise as my QC35, BUT I was also using the silicon eartips. I didn't have a chance to try to foam.

I was impressed by how light they were and that they didn't fall out when I shook my head -- Apple wireless AirPods and wired EarPods don't fit my ears well and always fall out. I'd imagine they're more comfortable in lie-flat business to sleep with than the QC35.

I've also resigned to lack of aptX and LDAC. I think AAC and SBC will be fine since it probably means better range, improved connectivity, and longer battery life. FWIW, QC35 also lacks aptX and LDAC, and I only listen to podcasts with Google Podcasts and Overcast by Marco Armeny, listen to music with Google Play Music / YouTube Music, and watch video streaming like YouTube TV, YouTube Premium, Netflix, HBO NOW, etc. The devices I use are Apple iPad Pro 10.5, Google Pixel 3a XL and OnePlus 7 Pro.

Yes, I pre-ordered on Amazon for $185 (lower cost than Sony Ginza Duty Free 25880¥ or $240) with a few promotions I had ($5 Amazon gift card credit, $10 Whole Foods credit and a discount with use of 1 American Express Membership Reward point). Sony WF-1000XM3 Industry Leading Noise Canceling Truly Wireless Earbuds, Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07T81554H/

I also snagged a Bluetooth transceiver during Prime Day that seemed to have numerous decent reviews. It'll come in handy for IFE. $23.11 was the lightning deal. TaoTronics Bluetooth 5.0 Transmitter and Receiver, 2-in-1 Wireless 3.5mm Adapter (aptX Low Latency, 2 Devices Simultaneously, For TV/Home Sound System) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01EHSX28M/

Just in case, I also bought some foam eartips during Prime Day that seemed to be a good value. I hope they fit. $5.59 was the lightning deal. 12Pcs Replacement Eartips- RIYO Premium Memory Foam Earphone Earbuds Tips Noise Reducing Earbud Tips for 5mm-7mm in-Ear Headphones Nozzle (Large, Black) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071NJQ6J3/

QUESTION FOR YOU: Is QC20 noise canceling better than QC35? I've always understood that it was, but the QC35 seems to be more popular since it's wireless.

I personally haven't tried it my self and only going off a friends recommendation but my understanding of the problem is the number of channels available via bluetooth.

You need two channels for stereo audio at 44100/48000 samples per second;
QC35 only has two and so if you want the microphone it changes to
1 bluetooth Channel for = 1 audio channel @ 16 bit 8000 samples per second
and the other is used for the microphone

the turtle has 4 channels or (dual pairing bluetooth)
so two channels for audio and 1 to 2 channels for the microphone so there should be no sacrifice.

https://www.amazon.com/Turtle-Surround-Gaming-Headset-Playstation-3/dp/B006W41W4Q

That's the turtle one, if you're considering buying based on that recommendation please wait and i'll actually try it for myself and confirm, i've had two friends speak of the quality being decent and they play games on the computer and the sound quality between 8000hz and 44100hz is worlds apart, not even the cheapest pair of bluetooth headphones i've used sound like it.

I'll try record the output at some point and make that available as well.


Also note on the comments for that amazon is information advising against these particular headphones for PC (the turtle ones) and they recommend the others but i'll try and get the information for you as soon as I can.

>Please note the following from the Turtlebeach Support website: "The... XP400, PX5, XP500, Tango, X-Ray, Delta, and Phantom headsets were designed for use with PS3 and Xbox 360 game consoles. It is only possible to use these headsets on a PC or Mac if you have the correct configuration and hardware. We recommend using one of our many PC compatible models instead, such as the PX3 or Z300." I do not have the Bluetooth setup to use on my PC, so half of the function of the headphones is lost to me unless I spend extra money and time figuring it out. IF YOU ARE BUYING THIS FOR PC, GET SOMETHING ELSE FROM TURTLEBEACH.

This part does not make sense though.

> I do not have the Bluetooth setup to use on my PC

As the headphones came with a usb bluetooth adapter that works fine on pc (and works with my qc35)


I haven't yet tried a pair that utilized APTX but that seems to be the way forward regarding audio quality, If i was to get another pair I would look for one that has that feature or this "dual-pairing bluetooth/4 bluetooth channels"

u/nKoshi · 1 pointr/bose

Cool thanks a bunch!
I have looked around online as well as ask around a bit and after a bit of research it seems you definitely need a bluetooth 4.0 dongle. All the people I've read about that had working ones seemed to have that in common. That would explain why my cheap on from König did not work as it was 2.0 and why yours works perfectly.

I bought this one.
I'll post the results once I've given it a test run to see if my 4.0 theory is roughly correct.

Oh, probably not since apple is evi.l I just assumed it would work with all computers with intel cpu.If you have a 2015 or older mac, you can look at https://www.ifixit.com/Store/Mac/MacBook-Pro-Retina-2015-Airport-Bluetooth-Board/IF123-048?o=1 , it's should be the latest network card used in macbooks before they switched to adding networking to the logic board - it is insanely expensive since it's a proprietary mac component vs. the 9260, which is unlucky. You'll also get better connection for wifi with this. Check to make sure you don't already have this in your mac. Also, not too sure about it's specs. I just searched for newest networking card incase yours is fairly old. It's probably Bluetooth 4.0, which shouldn't be an issue since the headphones don't have the best BT either. The new chips, just ensure that your networking card isn't causing the bottleneck. Also, helps with increasing BT range and stability.

Audio only bluetooth 5.0 adapters are a lot cheaper, do some more research into the products before buying, since I just pulled the first two from amazon that were mac compatible.

This one seems more convenient as it's not dangling from the 3.5m audio port on your computer, like the 2nd one.

If you give until later today I will verify since I am working and it arrived today.
I ordered this one for my Sennheiser's but I own QC35 IIs.

Only BT adapter I’d recommend for the QC25 is the Bolle & Raven AirMod, they made one for the QC15 originally and then when the QC25 came out they released one for those as well. It’s discrete and fits the headphones perfectly as it’s custom designed.

Here are some amazon prime eligible products that I found.

  • This official Bose one for the SoundTrue headphones but in a flashy color.

  • There also this one, not official but half the price and is a 2.5mm to 3.5mm jack.

    --

    I bought one of these 3.5mm to 2.5mm jack adapters that will let you use any standard 3.5mm to 3.5mm aux cable with the headphones and doesn't limit you to a very narrow selection of wires that you can use. I'm not really sure if it will fit because, but it should judging by the picture/size. You can also buy this exact same one off eBay for less than $0.99 but it takes a month to get.

    I'm probably use a more durable tangle free cable when I get it, I'm not a huge fan of the cable that it comes with, ever since I first got mine, I knew that the cable it came with wouldn't last long.

I just got this Asus dongle and it is working great with my Windows 7 PC. Connected right away, hasn't dropped out, and has decent range at my office.

I also remember reading something about Bluetooth power settings about a month back, might want to look into that as well.

u/PC__LOAD__LETTER · 1 pointr/bose

Kind of late to the party here, but it looks like Bose is advertising 20 hours on the QC35 and 35 on the QC25. https://smile.amazon.com/Bose-QuietComfort-Wireless-Headphones-Cancelling/dp/B01E3SNO1G/ref=dp_ob_title_ce

u/MBHockey · 6 pointsr/bose

There is a single seller on Amazon (who is a new seller, without any reviews) that is selling a refurbished QC35. I think you just have to use a little common sense my friend (https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B01E3SNO1G/ref=dp_olp_all_mbc?ie=UTF8&condition=all). It's $11 less than a guaranteed genuine pair. why even take that chance?

u/helpfiles · 1 pointr/bose

In case you don't want to pay Bose's ridiculously overpriced earpads. There is no Bose logos or branding on them, but there is a very good chance they are all made by the same factory anyways.

u/SkullLeader · 1 pointr/bose

Yes, these dongles exist, they're usually tiny too - like this one: https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-USB-Adapter-Bluetooth-USB-BT400/dp/B00DJ83070/ref=sr_1_10?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1482950030&sr=1-10&keywords=bluetooth+adapter

No idea about PS4 compatibility. Main issues are if your work is just going to let you install hardware on your work computer and/or the necessary drivers for it, and also depending on your operating system it may not be possible to do what you want - i.e. its usually possible to play sound from the PC to a bluetooth speaker, but not always easy or possible to play sound from a bluetooth audio source and have it come through the PC's headphones or speakers.

Bose and Amazon both have the real ones. Look for the Stay Hear + , like these (which I believe are authentic):

u/TugBoatTed · 3 pointsr/bose

I just got my 700s this past week. I can't imagine a hard shell case doing any better than Bose's offering. You could consider a carrying bag with drawstring? That would reduce bulk.

Thank you!

Indeed I have several questions, did your friends who owns the QC35 updated to the latest firmware?

I see all over internet people who got trouble with their ANC since Firmware 2.5.1

​

Here is a mega thread on the Bose forum:

And it seems that a lot of people got problem with the BT: here is a link from the Amazon review

Just a heads up, Amazon Spain is selling the QC35 II for EUR 259,00 here

u/mediaguycouk · 1 pointr/bose

Not personally. Had to upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 10 to use the dongle (https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B009ZIILLI/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 See bullet point 4)

u/dakraiz · 1 pointr/bose

Bought this for now hopefully it will work until windows 10 can fix there damn bluetooth functionality.

u/dansulvn · 1 pointr/bose

Your mileage may vary, but this $14 one worked for me on a Dell 7XXX Inspiron with Windows 8.1. The stock Dell BT drivers didn't work for constant audio streaming. Now I can stream Spotify without any issues. Pretty low profile on the laptop as well. Download the driver package from the URL on the box.

I only use the headband. I haven't had to change my earpads yet and it's been about 8 months..but I can tell they'll need changed in about a year. I've heard it's annoying.

Edit: idk why my links are so crazy and brackets aren't working

u/saccadic · 1 pointr/bose

If you order them directly through Amazon.co.uk, they take them back no questions asked ... even long after the 30 days.

Hey Guys!

I am thinking of buying QC35 II. However, after a little research on amazon and community.bose, I have noticed that the major issue people have seems to be the bluetooth connectivity and for most people who complained it caused lags in audio. Does Bose have any plans to make any major changes in bluetooth? Would you guys suggest to buy QC35 II or wait for QC45?
