How did you choose them over Bose and Sony? My understanding is that they are more expensive and heavier than both of those. Is the noise cancellation so much better that it outweighs the cost and weight considerations?

I have a pair of QC35's (v2, I think). They're OK. I'm in the Apple ecosystem and decided to try them with the idea of returning them if I didn't like them.

The NC isn't hugely better, but the transparent mode is kickass. I use it all the time.

I think they are overpriced, but after more than a year with them I'm happy I have them.

Note that they were really tight when I got them and I saw a post on reddit about bending the top bar to make them looser. Before doing it I couldn't wear them more than an hour at a time. Now I can wear them all day.

I have a bias against Sony, for many reasons (over the years), though I have no doubt their headphones are really good, too.
