The presentation of the QC35 sways to function, straight to the point approach being compared to Bang & Olufsen H8. One will be greeted with a hard carrying case containing the pair of headphones themselves with a simple pull and lift.
This pair of Bose was treated like every wireless headphone that comes about where its battery is fed to its fullest having music played (for that break-in effect) through them before any testing is conducted.

Having them on for tens of hours, I found it difficult to get the words down because this pair of Bose failed to grasp me by the way it sounded. It is thoroughly flat without any flare in the lows, mids or the highs. Additionally, it tends to be overly bright at higher volumes.
Be it Daft Punk to Yanni or Massive Attack to Damien Rice, there is just no sweet spot. Maybe hip hop from the post millennium like 50 Cent is most suitable, just maybe. At least, they are surprisingly alright at churning Calvin Harris.
Bose have been paving the way of noise cancelling headphones for ages but the QC35 is not their finest hour. Given jack ports will eventually be killed off, cutting wires is a very good idea.
