Best Noise Cancelling Headphones For Travel?

6 Plus doesn’t qualify for the next iOS update…so you might want to buy something from those with their 8 Pluses as they flock to buy the coming releases this fall :wink:

When I meant upgrade I meant the Bose QC25. I have no plans to upgrade my Phone anytime soon. I love my headphone jack!

that’s why I said the 8 Plus…last one with a headphone jack :wink:

I own a pair of QC 25 as well. I had the choice between the 25 and 35 when I bought them but I didn’t want the Bluetooth, Google integration and built-in battery.

My wife has the QC35ii and I don’t think there’s much of a difference in ANC and sound quality. Not that you’d be able to discriminate much of a difference on a plane, anyway.

Thanks, I’ve heard Bose is set to release their next headphone soon so I’m excited to see what they have in store.

yes, their 700’s"

EEK! Not what I expected. Hadn’t seen them yet.

how so? form factor or price?

Build. They look like they’ll snap easily!

they’re made of metal now. not plastic.

Gotta hand it to Bose. Looks like they’re not sitting on their ass. They are innovating. I’ll have to look into some reviews. Thanks again.

yes, they are very styling. B&O watch out! :wink:

I’ll vote the Sony XM3. To my ears they sound better than the QC35 and even do better NC. Sony’s claim of 30 hour battery life is pretty accurate too.

At the moment, supposedly you can get the 1000 MX3 at Rakuten for 237.96 with coupon code: PRO15P

According to Android Police.

Several high profile companies like wired and wire cutter (NYT) have reviewed both the QC35II and the WH1000M3 and concluded that the tech in the Sony’s was better as well as sound. I personally own the Sony’s and I think they are fantastic for walking around. I had a garbage truck drive past me on the road and didn’t even hear it. Also the hand palm on the ear cup to lower the volume temporarily and the google assistant adds to the reasons to get the Sony’s.

Thanks everyone your feedback is much appreciated.

I bought some Bose QC-25’s last year around September. When I put them on and listened to them, they sounded alright, but didn’t have much bass until I really turned them up. But when I did that, the driver or something in one of the cups rattled. It was so annoying i sent them back and just got some Sony MDR-1A’s.

there is no doubt https://bestwirelessbluetoothheadphones.com/audio/bose-nc-headphones-700/ will be your best fit.

Apparently the 700s are sort of a let down or not as good as the QC35s according to some people, so that would be something to check first

Edit: although there are issues with the most recent firmware with the 35s

Sony XM3s with Dekoni Suede pads. Great ANC and very comfortable.
