Q35 | Noise-Cancelling Headphones with LDAC

Maybe the best sound ever. Awesome quality & sound and definitely offers a great value for money!

Second pair broken in the exact same place as before . For the price paid you'd think they would be a bit more solid build wise.. sound is good but the build is terrible.

I've waited a year before throwing out the review as a product of this price category needs to last at least this long to be considered a decent purchase.
Happy to say that it actually delivers, the sound is still as good as the day I got it, as is the ANC.

TL/DR: Best value for money when in discount/ App 5/ Sound 4.5/ ANC 4/ Calling 3.5/ Wear 4.5/ On ear detection 2/

To give anyone reading this an insight what kind of person wrote it.
I am an average (European) Joe in his 30's with thick short hair and glasses, not an audiophile at all but have excellent hearing especially in the high segment.
Mainly use these headphones to commute and at work, listening to variations of music, classical to R&B and trash metal.

Sound:
You get a decent experience out of the box, although I highly recommend adjusting the sound in the app to your liking.
Aside from increasing the sound from a 3.5 to a 4.5/5, the app itself has some nifty functions and they keep improving it.
Sound is very clear and you can actually appreciate all different instruments used in all kinds of music.

ANC:
My workplace is partially in an office and partially in a data center (about 90 decibels constant noise) and they are very good at filtering out a lot of the sound.
It doesn't fully disappear but exists as soft background noise instead of the normal in your face droning.
To visualise; it turns working next to a vacuum into working next to a desk fan.

Calls:
Receipient voices come through pretty clear (depending on the source mostly) and without delays.
My voice depends a bit on the environment, if it is a loud (70-90DB) environment then it has quite some trouble with passing through my voice.
In normal environments and in (city) streets it has way less of an issue (although hard wind can sometimes be unpleasant for the receipient).

Other:
The headphones sit quite pleasant ( not too tight) on the head, would not recommend for sports that require you to move your head a lot.
That said they are great for biking and anything else that doesn't require that.

As a glasses wearer I have to say that after about 6-7 hours of continuous wear they start to annoy a little bit, but not to the extent of red sores or bruises like other headphones of this kind. They are very light and will not annoy the top of your skull as others did for me.

On ear detection is mediocre and my biggest gripe with these. At first it worked decent, not great but was perfectly passable.
Over time the detection started to trigger (it turns off your music/YT/etc.) more and more to the point that I could not move my head without triggering it, so had to turn that off in the app.

Battery life is actually as advertised and exceptionally long, even after a year the batteries hold out very well.

Hope that this review helps anyone looking to pick these up, with the newer stuff coming out these are still a great purchase when discounted.

JUST GREAT!

I purchased these headphones as a gift for my wife as she keeps borrowing my Bose wired set. I have a pair of Sony headphones and a old pair of Beats. I must say the sound quality with the LDAC and the functions like the "off head" recognition is a really good idea. It is also so easy to switch from ANC to Transparency mode with just a touch on the side of the earcup. As for the battery life my wife hasn't had to charge them yet and she got them on the 26th of last month and has been using them every day. I don't know if they last 40hrs but it must be close to that by now. I must admit I have "borrowed" them a couple of times now (just to test them of course) and have been most annoyed when I had to give them back. My birthday is in a couple of months from now so I will be giving a few hints of what to get me for a present lol.
