The video provides a detailed review of the Bose QuietComfort 35 II noise-canceling headphones, which remain impressive despite being on the market for five years. Key features include the ability to connect to two devices simultaneously, foldable design for easy storage, and the option to turn off noise-canceling to conserve battery life – a feature not present in newer models like the QC45. The noise-canceling capability provides versatility for different environments, though the speaker often prefers having it on. When compared to other budget audio options, the QC35 II offers slightly superior sound quality but excels particularly in providing a quiet listening experience during disruptive activities like vacuuming. However, they may become warm over extended use and are not ideal for exercise. For extended listening, such as podcasts, the speaker recommends comfortable earbuds instead. The video concludes with a summary of these points and a farewell from the speaker.

In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses the Bose QuietComfort 35 II noise-canceling headphones, which have been on the market for about five years. They recently purchased a refurbished pair for CAD 226. The video showcases the quality of these refurbished headphones, which appear as good as new. The speaker focuses on three noteworthy features.
Firstly, the headphones can connect to two devices simultaneously, seamlessly transitioning between them without user intervention. Secondly, the headphones can be folded and stored easily; the ear cups face down when worn around the neck, preventing crumbs from falling into them while eating. Finally, the QC35 has the ability to turn off noise, a feature not available in its newer version, the QC45.

In this part of the video, the discussion centers on the noise-canceling functionality of the headphones. There’s a button on the headphones that allows users to adjust the noise canceling from high to medium to off, which is not possible with the Bose 45s or Sony models. Turning off noise canceling can save battery life and let in some outside noise, although the seal of the headphones still muffles external sounds. The speaker notes that they rarely use this feature as they typically prefer noise canceling. Additionally, the sound quality of these headphones is compared to various budget options, including wired earphones that came with a Samsung S6, Jaybird wireless earphones, $20 Amazon Bluetooth earbuds, and Apple AirPods. The speaker comments that while these budget options sound surprisingly good, the headphones being reviewed provide only a slightly better audio experience. The headphones are effective at canceling noise during activities like vacuuming.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses the experience of using noise-canceling headphones, noting that they can become warm and may not be suitable for exercise due to sweating. For long-term listening, such as podcasts, the speaker prefers using comfortable earbuds that do not cause warmth. However, for tasks like house chores, noise-canceling headphones make a significant difference. The segment concludes with a brief farewell from the speaker.
