With introduction of Apple iPhone 7 w/o 3.5 mm headphone jack, it is evident that the iconic quietcomfort QC 25 converted into Bluetooth compatible version QC 35 with few improvements you would love with the Bose signature sound assisted with the Acoustic Noise Cancelling 🙂
Basically QuietComfort 35 is built on the same foundation stones of the most acclaimed Noise reduction technology, Bose signature sound and super-comfortable fit as QC 25 headphones. Over and above that QC35 are Bluetooth enabled, they also improved voice quality over call with a dual-microphone system, assist you with voice prompts, super-intuitive controls and Li-ion battery instead of AAA cell sustaining till 20-hours. With volume-optimized EQ, QC 35 delivers Bose quality audio at any volume settings.
Simply remember that Bose holds maximum patents on their super special Active Noise Cancellation technology and as on date there is no company in world to get near to Bose in terms of ANC! yes, no one can !! Over and above the Bose signature sound is always well balanced delivering perfect balance of Bass, Mids and Highs, that is one of the reason why I am big fan of Bose.
Lets have a look at simple comparison table between QC 25 vs QC 35 with color differences for quick understanding on improvements over the QC 25 version.
