Pros & Cons
Pros
There are a range of sound output settings via a downloadable app. The booming thunder is very booming in a holy cow this is nice way. The sound quality is good and clear and i have no complaints about clarity when i speak.
Noise cancelling works really good, (easy to activate, or turned off). The only major flaw is the micro-usb charging port. Firmware updating requires windows or an android phone.
Sennheiser pxc550-ii has a better soundstage than the bose qc35s. They sound fantastic, anc good, mic is great for business calls or school. They have two sound stereo and hands-free audio.

Downloadable software app tries to be a music player in addition to the settings control unit. Not possible to upgrade the firmware on the headphones with any current apple device. Janky ios app displays a warning to either use an ancient version of i... Read More
