Bose QuietComfort 35 II review: Superb noise-cancelling headphones with added smarts

The first-generation QC35 was among the most lauded noise-cancelling headphones. The second-generation continue that trend of excellence, but with the

Superb sound ; Great battery life ; Google Assistant and notifications surprisingly useful ; Noise-cancelling is great - and comes in three levels

Google Assistant is a little more limited on iPhone ; Not the sleekest design ; Battery life not as long as some competitors

The first-generation QC35 was among the most lauded noise-cancelling headphones. The second-generation continue that trend of excellence, but with the addition of Google Assistant - which is surprisingly useful for managing notifications.

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-cancelling 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-cancelling headphone an extra bit of personality.

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.
