I love my Bose QC35s. They have great sound quality, bluetooth capability, and good battery life. Most of all, the noise-canceling is better than I窶况e experienced with anything else. I fly a lot for work, and these cancel out almost all of the engine noise. - C Tie
+1 for QC35s. I may guess they窶决e not the best sound quality for audiophiles but it窶冱 great for everything else. and it still works passively without power. - D.H.S.

I窶况e listened to and owned hundreds of pairs of headphones, buds, earphones, and in-ear monitors. Here窶冱 what i窶况e learned: Bluetooth is garbage. Noise cancellation = distortion. Wireless is garbage. Bose, garbage. Shure, meh. Beats, garbage. Forever and always: Sony MDR-7506, I used them for field recording, mixing, and editing - Your Bose is garbage
Been working in Radio, TV, and Film production for over 10 years.
I swear by these. Their clarity and balance makes them great for work, and even better for music.
More importantly, I can wear them all day and not feel a thing. Save for changing the pads, I窶况e had my current pair for 6 years-ish, and they窶决e still in great shape.
Side note: If you窶决e looking to change the pads, I got Sheep skin replacements... so nice... - 930_whaletail
I窶囘 like to conominate the MDR-7506 along with the MDR-V
