Hi,

I need to replace my old Bose QC15 which have served me well. I would like Bose wireless. Expensive, but I have tried cheaper and IMHO Bose are best.

I can buy QC35 series I from Costco for £199

I can buy QC35 series II from JL for £249

AFIK the only difference is Series II have a microphone and the ability to connect to Google / Alexa? Not a features that I would use.

Any advice gratefully received? :A

    Any reason you are ignoring Sony ?

    In many reviews they beat BOSE in most categories

    The reviews I have seen are very similar scores for Sony and Bose. I have tried other makes and I believe Bose are better noise cancelling & I find them more comfortable.

    I would suggest it is personal preference and better the devil I know?

    I agree. I tried both and preferred the Sony as they seemed to fit my ears better.
    I do have some BOSE inner ear ones which are very good as well but nowhere near as effective as the over ear ones

    Those BOSE models are ones I looked at and tried before opting for Sony.

    All solid choices.
