I've always wanted to own a pair of Beats Solo3, and it stirred something deep in my heart. Listening to music, sipping tea, reading books, soaking up the sun on a Saturday afternoon, or just relaxing in my hut with headphones on, napping, or even working late at night while editing photos—these are all reasons why I needed a wireless Bluetooth headset. The dream was strong, but the reality was tough. After the 11th year, my shopping budget was almost gone. At one point, I even owed over 1500 for a long time. Now, I had a budget under 2000 and was looking for a wireless Bluetooth headset with active noise cancellation.
After researching and comparing options, I realized that not everyone is an audiophile. I can tell the difference between a 100-point and an 80-point headphone, but with 85 and 80, each has its own strengths. I wasn’t trying to make a big deal out of it, just looking for what suits me best—sound quality, volume, and range. Initially, I was drawn to Fiil’s headphones. Their prices fit my budget, and the latest version had decent noise cancellation. Plus, they’re made by musicians, so the audio experience isn't bad.
Then there was the Beats Solo3. It was available on JD.com for around 1500, sometimes as low as 1300. The national bank also offered promotions, but it was still over 1600. The design was vibrant and eye-catching, but some users said the sound and noise cancellation weren’t that great—just a style choice.
Sony's WH-1000XM4 looked beautiful and had excellent noise cancellation, but it was way over my budget at over 2800. Even during Double 11, the price dropped to around 1400, but I missed the sale. Amazon might have been cheaper, but I didn’t get it.
Finally, I found the Bose QC35. During Black Friday on Amazon, it was priced at 1976, which was within my budget. The noise cancellation was powerful, and the sound quality was acceptable. Plus, it could be upgraded via software for better noise reduction.
Choosing the right product was a bit overwhelming. I spent three days evaluating, visiting stores, checking online deals, and finally settled on the Bose QC35. First, the price was right—Sony was too expensive, and others were either over the limit or not worth it. Second, while Sony had better sound, I preferred the Bose for its more balanced tone. Third, the design was more comfortable. Bose had a more mature look compared to Sony or Beats. Lastly, the software updates were better, and after using it, I found that the over-ear design was much more comfortable than earbuds, especially for long periods.
Unboxing the Bose QC35 was exciting. I ordered it through Amazon on Black Friday, and the delivery was fast. The box was sleek and well-designed. Inside, there were no extra manuals, just a simple guide. The headphones came with a charging cable, a headphone extension, and an airline plug—though I still don’t know what the airline plug is for. The right earcup had a power button, volume controls, and a LED light, while the left had only the port. The earcups were soft and comfortable, made from a skin-like material. The outer part was leather, and the inside felt premium. The metal parts were cool to the touch. Some people mentioned the earpads might wear out, but you can easily replace them on Amazon.
Compared to the Beats Solo3, the Bose QC35 was bigger but more comfortable. I downloaded the Bose Connect app, set the language, named the device, and updated the firmware. The second-generation features were impressive.
After two weeks of use, I’ve found the noise cancellation to be very effective. It works by analyzing ambient noise and creating opposing sound waves to cancel it out. This makes it ideal for quiet environments like home or office. The battery life is good—about 20 hours on a full charge, and it charges quickly. I use it daily for about 3 hours, and I only need to charge once a week.
The comfort level is high, though I noticed a slight tinnitus feeling when first wearing it. After a few days, it went away. The over-ear design keeps the ears warm, which is fine in winter but might be uncomfortable in summer or air-conditioned rooms.
Sound quality is good enough for casual listening. While it doesn’t match Sony’s clarity, it offers a balanced and pleasant listening experience. I mainly listen to folk and country music, and it fits my needs well.
Looking ahead, I hope to try in-ear earphones in the future, especially for summer. I’m also interested in sports-oriented models like the Sony WF-1000XM4. For now, I’m happy with the Bose QC35—it’s a solid choice for its price and performance. I believe in rational spending, and this purchase has brought me a lot of satisfaction.
