OK so I bought the QC35 MK ii arrived today. I still have the Sony's.
I have learnt quite a bit more about the Sony's, including how to equalise them for the better. And I am applying a lot of equalisation.
Was going to sell the pair I like least but my wife seems to want a pair. So we will keep both I suspect.
The video review I saw before I bought the Sony's.
Spent a couple of hours using the Bose. They are much more balanced than the Sony's without EQ.
However, with a mass of EQ using Sony's app, the Sony's can be made to behave in a.way that is reasonable.
I will post back in a week or two when I have both units
I did not want to go down this road. But I too thought of making a dual purchase. I passed on buying the Bose. For one I could listen all I wanted at the store. Two the Bose was just not something I was interested in owning. Now that you have piqued my interest I may take advantage of the stores generous 30 day return policy.
I am not sure what "more balanced" and /or "Sony's can be made to behave more reasonable." means. I feel perhaps you are fixating on frequency response. It is reminiscent to the tube/solid state debate.
I await your review.
