Bose Quiet Comfort 35 headphones

Somedaythefire

Wore them to work yesterday and it was a godsend. Left them at home for my normal on ears today to see the difference and I'm hating it.

Received the black QC35 from amazon.es with free shipping total 302e, original order amazon screwed up so they gave me free shipping. They are also shipped from Amazon Ireland. Wearing them in open plan office and they are great for blocking out office noise.

What was the issue? I ordered nearly a week ago from .es and still not shipped or charged to my card (well they were but went off it again), strange for Amazon as it's usually delivered fast enough (from the .uk site anyway).

I had the same issue contacted amazon.es and they re-order them again for me and subtracted the shipping cost for the inconvenience

im in the US so im going to check the prices out here too......ill post what i find.

Find your nearest Bose Outlet store. They work in a similar style to Apple, they take items back in the main stores for no quibble so there is literally nothing wrong with the units. They refurbish and repackage, then resell in the outlets with the same warranty etc. The products are perfect (I worked there) and the savings can be considerable.

Did they take long to get back to you? I emailed yesterday morning and no response yet.

My QC20's arrived this morning. Blown away with the performance at higher frequencies. The cheap ones I had (mentioned earlier in the thread) were "grand" for reducing the intensity of the lower frequency engine noise but they were useless for reducing noise from adjacent conversations or music. These guys reduce those noises to a very distant whisper.

Delighted!

A pair of qc 30s arrived for me yesterday. Enjoying the wireless freedom and quality so far is great. Seamless switching from work calls via laptop back to music on my iPhone.

Thumbs up so far!

Tried that, basically got a "we are working to ship it as soon as possible can I help you with anything else today, goodbye."

One thing I'd say about Bose is their returns policy is brilliant. Got a pair of qc20s almost 2 years ago and they stopped working a month before the end of the warranty. Phoned them up they emailed the shipping label within an hour and it got sent off to Belgium.

Will definitely be taking them up on the qc30s just because of that customer service.

$349 for the QC30's plus tax in the US, so more than Dixon's in LHR......didn't make it to an outlet this time, maybe next time......

Got my QC25s and had the chance to try them on a flight to Barcelona earlier this week.
The 'plane was even noisier than normal with a terrible high pitched drone that sounded more like a vibrating panel than anything else.
The cans didn't quite cancel out the drone but the sound from the engine was completely blocked out.
Some have said that when you switch off the cancelling the sound goes to hell but it's certainly good enough for dialogue in a hotel room for example.
The case is a good deal bulkier than my Sennheiser noice cancelling headphones but the Bose are more comfortable for long term use.
Overall, I'm very happy with them.

Although it's off topic I really have commend Bose on their customer service. Had my QC 25s for a year and 11 months when one of the sides stopped working. A few minutes on the phone and emailing them my receipt and they sent a prepaid ups shipment label. Really impressed.

Is the warranty transferrable? I'm seeing a lot of unopened QC 35s on second hand sites

Well all they asked was for proof of purchase so if they had the original receipt I'm sure there's no problem.

The BOSE guys in Dundrum also seem to have some ability to give you discounts if you have signed up with them. I use the QC25s and the Ultrasound Sport (the only earbuds that I have ever found comfortable).

Lost my ultrasounds, and was honestly dreading work and the commute without them, dropped into Bose, he recognised me and asked where my old ones were, he checked my account, and because the two purchases recently enough he was able to give me 10% off. Completely sound, I never asked, it was his prerogative to offer.

The black ones are 289 on Amazon Spain at the moment

Finally took a plunge and bought from Dixons at Dublin Airport, black €319
Used on a long haul flight. Very Happy so far

Bought the qc20s in Dixons in airport for 219. Very good on the flight. I probably would have bought the qc30s if they had them but they have been out of stock for a while. They got 60 pairs in and they sold out really quickly. Looking forward to silence on the bus to work tomorrow.

Was that the price for the QC25 or something else?

Sorry, I was asking what you had bought for €319 (as the thread title says QC35, but people have been talking about a lot of different things).

My Q35's seem fine with my iPhone 7 and my MacBook Air, I haven't experienced anything like you describe.

Just got to use my QC35s for the first time on a return flight to Spain over the weekend. I have to say I was blown away by quality of sound on such a noisy flight. It was just such a pleasure to sit back and enjoy the music. I was feeling a bit guilty at spending so much on a set headphones but so happy I did. Thanks for convincing me to buy them.

How's walking and talking on the qc 35s?

Qc30s are unfortunately rubbish at this

I bought from amazon.es. I didn't check the warranty status as it should be the same across the EU regardless of where they are bought.

I had this issue on my laptop but it turned out that the Bluetooth mouse I was using was on a similar frequency and this was causing interference with the headphones. As soon as I went back to using the wireless dongle for the mouse it was fine.

It was a dodgy bluetooth antenna in my iPhone6. All is good now.

I personally find them excellent for this. I make phone calls while walking through the city and have never had any issues. Blocks out all rush hour traffic.

Wind is the issue, try them out in the open with some wind.

Press the same button you use to play/pause/skip songs (between the volume buttons).

They are excellent for listening to music walking around outside so should be fine for calls too.

Taking my first flight in the morn since I bought these last month. Looking forward to checking these bad boys out at 30,000 ft

They are ok listening to music in windy conditions, you can hear some wind picked up by the mics. Phone calls in the wind are a different story, as soon as you make a call you can hear the difference. A lot more external sounds gets in, especially wind. Try it out, have them on with no music and make a call.

QC 30's returned to Amazon, tried to convince myself that I could do without the inline mic by answering on the phone but fup that, it's a feature that's highlighted and it's unbearable.  Noise cancelling was great though, I'm back to non cancelling wired soundsports.
I'll give the QC 35's a test in Dixons at the airport next week, hope to compare against the Sony MDR-1000X.

Hopefully will trying them out myself shortly

They are compact for over ear headphones, some people I was showing to them even commented on them being tidy. They are very comfortable and light weight so for me they are fine for wearing in work most of the day. Walking around should be no different.

As an aside, anyone have any difficulty in connecting to a win7 pc with them? I can connect to my MacBook and iPhone6 with ease but I also use a windows laptop at work which the headphone say they are connected to but on the laptop it shows on devices with a yellow warning triangle and I can't play music to them.

Royale with Cheese

I've had no problem connecting them to my android phone, macbook or Windows 7 PC in work. My Windows 10 desktop at home though really doesn't like them. Haven't bothered fixing that yet either.
