The 2.5mm headphones socket is irritating – means you can’t just plug any old headphones cable in.

They take just over two hours to fully charge via microUSB. The headphones can continue to be used when the power runs out using the included cable, but they don’t sound quite as good. To wake from standby you just have to push one of the buttons. There’s also an auto-standby that helps prolong battery life and can be triggered after as little as five minutes or as long as three hours inactivity, or turned off completely. There aren’t many rechargeable wireless noise-cancelling headphones that last as long as the Bose between charges. The QC35s lived up to expectations dropping around 5% per hour of listening over Bluetooth lasting approximately 20 hours between charges when listening over Bluetooth, and longer if restricted to wired connections. With Bluetooth on the QC35s will outlast even the longest of plane journeys. There are no better headphones available at the moment for sheer power of isolating you from the outside world, wireless or otherwise, apart from the QC25s. What is miles better than any other noise-cancelling headphones I have tried is the passive blocking of noise.īose packs the ear cups with sound absorbing materials, which, combined with the active noise cancelling technology, works incredibly effectively, blocking the sudden, sharp sounds that noise cancelling struggles with. It is very effective, although arguably not leagues ahead of the best of the rest. The best thing by far about the QC35s is that putting them on feels like a veil of silence has wafted over you, removing the background hubbub, whether on the street, on the train or in the office.īose’s noise cancelling technology, which monitors incoming sounds using microphones and sends the inverse sound wave using the speakers to cancel out the sound before it hits your ear drum, is said to be the best in the business. The left ear cup has a 2.5mm headphones port for using the supplied 2.5mm to traditional 3.5mm cable. Call quality through the headset was pretty good too. Like most Bluetooth headphones the QC35s will connect to two devices simultaneously, will act as a headset for a phone and can activate Google Now or Siri on a smartphone.

The Bluetooth connection to both a smartphone and a PC was rock solid in all conditions, allowing me to wonder around the room without losing connection and out on the street with the phone in my pocket without issue.

Most Android users will simply have to tap their smartphones on the NFC spot – again on the right ear cup to pair them via Bluetooth. The right ear cup also has the power switch, which you flick to a third position to put the headphones into pairing mode, if you need it, which you do for an iPhone. There are no dedicated track skip buttons, which is a little disappointing, but double or triple pressing the play button reliably skips forward or backward. It has a pair of volume buttons flanking a pause/play button. The right ear cup is where all the action happens. The right ear cup does everything, with control buttons, power switch, microUSB socket and NFC spot. They’re not tiny when folded, but small enough to not make them burdensome in a commuter’s bag.

They also fold up for transport, with the cups folding flat inline with the headband to fit into their relatively compact case. The completely encapsulate your ears without touching them, but are relatively compact and subtle for large over-the-ear headphones. They weigh 310g, but don’t feel too heavy, stay on your head with ease and don’t move around when you walk, while not putting undue pressure on any one spot on your head. They are some of the most comfortable and nice-to-wear headphones I’ve had the pleasure to put on. The ear cups are trimmed with soft-pleather pads while the inside is contoured so it sits off the ear. The adjustable bands feel durable, as does the top headband, covered in pleather with a soft chamois-like pad against the head. The left ear cup has a 2.5mm headphones port, which means they can be used as wired headphones with or without noise cancelling on, but you’ll need to use the included cable or buy a 3.5mm to 2.5mm adapter. The QC35s are basically a pair of QC25s with Bluetooth in them, and from the outside it’s difficult to tell the two apart unless you know what you’re looking for: they’re a slightly different colour – available in plain black or silver rather than two-tone colours – and the right cup has three control buttons, an LED and a microUSB slot. The headphones fold up for travel or flat for fitting in a case.
