Bose QuietComfort 35 II Gaming review: Lost in translation

Bose attempts to convert its popular QuietComfort 35 II into a gaming headset, but not everything goes to plan. Read our full review to find our why.

Enjoyable, balanced sound ; Light and comfortable ; Excellent active noise canceling

Lacks virtual surround sound ; Lacks audio punch in action games ; Not wireless when gaming ; Poor value

Bose QuietComfort 35 II review

The Bose Noise Cancelling Headphone 700 may be the latest and greatest, but don't count the company's QC35 II out just yet. At $50 less than Bose's new flagship, these mainstay cans still make the most sense for most people. We'll explore just why that...

They aren't Bose’s best anymore, but the QC 35 II are a smarter buy than ever

Bose QuietComfort 35 II Gaming Headset Review

Nearly top-notch noise cancellation ; Excellent sound and voice quality ; Useful PC controller with volume wheel ; QuietComfort 35 II still holds up as great headphones years after release

Headphones are a four-year-old model with no internal upgrades ; Limited controls in app ; No spatial audio processing license included or built into PC controller

The Bose QuietComfort 35 II Gaming Headset is exactly what it sounds like: a QC 35 II turned into a gaming headset. It's an excellent pair of noise-cancelling headphones that now features a handy boom mic and a desktop volume wheel.

Our favorite headphones get Google Assistant: Bose QC35 II, reviewed.

With a new button that links directly to Google Assistant on your phone, Bose's otherwise unchanged flagship noise-canceling gets a little more personality -- and functionality.

The Bose QuietComfort 35 II headphone adds a dedicated button for Google Assistant, but it can be programmed for other functions, too. Retains its predecessor's top-of-the-line active-noise canceling, excellent wireless Bluetooth sound and...

Battery isn't replaceable; same apparent design and performance as previous model.

Existing QC35 owners don't need to upgrade, but the addition of a dedicated Google Assistant button gives the already excellent wireless noise-canceling headphone an extra bit of personality.

Bose QuietComfort 35 II review

Bose's QuietComfort 35 II ($350, £330, AU$500) wireless noise-cancelling headphone looks, sounds and performs just like the original except for one key feature: There's a new "Action" button on the left ear cup that allows you to connect to your Google...

Bose QuietComfort 35 II

Now with Google Assistant, Bose's latest pair of QuietComfort headphones, the QC35 II, is the best pair of wireless noise-canceling headphones you can buy.

Powerful audio performance with deep bass response and sculpted highs. Best-in-class noise cancellation, with new on-ear controls to adjust settings. On-ear access to Google Assistant. Can be used in passive mode.

Cable has no inline remote. Highly sculpted sound signature not for purists. DSP has major impact on audio at top volumes.

So, is the new QC35 II worth the extra money, or is it better to save a little on the previous model? It's definitely worth the extra cash—the $349.95 price is the same as the original's when it was released, and it still offers everything that model...

QuietComfort 35 (Series II)

Before you give up on the idea that noise-canceling can actually sound good, try these on.

Bose QuietComfort 35 II/QC35 II Wireless 2018 Review

The Bose QuietComfort 35 II/QC35 II Wireless 2018 are versatile wireless over-ears with a very comfortable fit. They have a long 20-hour battery life, and their ...

Consistent audio delivery. Outstanding noise isolation. Comfortable fit. Low latency over wired connection.

Leak some noise. No sound customization options. Bulky design. Mediocre recording quality. Can't use microphone over wired gaming connection.

The Bose QuietComfort 35 II are good for neutral sound. They have a very neutral and balanced sound profile, especially in the mid-range. While there's a slight overemphasis across the bass range, it shouldn't be too overwhelming for neutral sound....
