Bose Quiet Comfort 35 headphones

darragh o meara · 2016-12-01 13:38:37

For anyone looking for arguably the best noise cancelling headphones, Dixons at Dublin Airport have them at the moment for €309. Cheapest I could find them normally was €379 in a b&m shop and a little cheaper on Amazon. https://www.theloop.ie/p/18468/bose-quiet-comfort-35

All this talk of the xm3 is getting me thinking. I have the mdr1000x and I’m delighted with them, but I’m tempted to sell them for the xm3.
Did anyone get to compare both headphones?
Any idea what price I would expect to get for my mdr’s? They are mint condition with all accessories still in the box.

I guess you might get 100 euro. For. The xm1.
I am currently on a transatlantic flight with the xm2 and they are awesome. I can't imagine the XM3 being night and day better. So no itch to upgrade.. I might demo the XM3 in store if I see them during the week.

100 seems very low for a set of headphones which were 350 15 months ago. If that’s all I get for them then I’ll hang onto them. They are worth way more to me.

Finally bit the bullet after reading reviews of the xm3s. Can't believe I've just spent that much on headphones!

Got them this morning. My god these things are amazing! The noise cancelling is like nothing I've experienced before. Had the sound blaring from the TV when I turned it on and didn't even notice it!

Won't be on a bus for a week or so or a flight for probably three weeks but look forward to seeing how they perform!

Does anyone ever have issues with the QC 35's switching themselves off and restarting every couple of minutes?

Only happens when connected through the phone and not through the laptop..

Make sure firmware is up to date if, so send them back get a fresh set.

That done the trick, updated through the USB cable rather than the Bose connect app. Thanks for the suggestion!

This thread has been a great resource but its going more away from the original bargain the longer it goes on.

The Heaphones forum is more relevant for any other questions, thanks.
