Bose is a well-known brand, popular for its excellent noise cancelling and incredibly comfortable designs. They produce well-rounded and versatile headphones that also deliver in the sound department.

The Bose QuietComfort 35 II came out in September 2017. Almost two years later, are they still worth it? Or are other ANC headphones a better price?

With impact-resistant materials, glass-filled nylon and corrosion-resistant stainless steel, they're engineered to survive life on the go. But when you take them everywhere and listen all day, they have to be comfortable, too. That's why the QC35 headband isn't just soft, it's luxurious.

Production facilities Bose's products are manufactured in the United States, Mexico, China and Malaysia. The company's factories in the United States are located in Framingham, Massachusetts (also the site of the company headquarters), Westborough, Massachusetts and Stow, Massachusetts.

Sound quality. Bose proprietary technologies make your music sound like the performer is right there with you and deliver big sound in a small acoustic package.

Premium Pricing Most of the products of Bose were priced more than that of its competitors such as Sony, Beats, Harman, Bowers and Wilkins and Samsung. With excellent sound system and innovative features, most of the products of Bose were high-end products with even the speakers and components priced high.

They're not water resistant like most other headphones so moisture getting inside the headphones can damage any number of the electronics. With that said, it would take a decent amount of moisture so it's not like you can't use them outside.

The only real difference is the Google Assistant button. You could simply press and hold the middle button down on the QC35 II and still get Siri or Google voice (Bixby).

Bose is a global leader in creating wireless headphones, earbuds and speakers of the highest audio quality.
