A matter of months ago we commented that Bose was going to enter the gaming field with what it does best: creating audio products focused on the needs of this type of user. Now the first proposal comes true and the Bose QuietComfort 35 II Gaming Headset. Headphones that combine the characteristics that made this classic proposal from the manufacturer stand out with everything that a gamer demands.
Bose QuietComfort 35 II Gaming Headset
Bose has not complicated much with these new headphones recently presented and designed for lovers of video games. And the truth is that he even appreciates himself, because they are basically the same Bose QuietComfort 35 II that all or the vast majority already know. Headphones that, among other key features, offer a truly top noise cancellation system. So much so that together Sony and its WH-1000XM4 They have been the two reference brands in this type of technology.
Well, in the same way that Herman Miller did by adapting one of its most emblematic chairs together with Logitech, to give the gamer everything they ask for, it is now Bose that it does this by adding a microphone to the QC 35 II. This in theory will offer clear audio capture free of external noise.
For everything else, the headphones are the same and we like that. Because they offer a sober design that will please all those who move away from proposals with very striking colors or full of colored lights that can bother many.
The microphone connects to the 3.5 mm Jack connection where the QC 53 II audio cable was connected for those moments when you cannot use Bluetooth connectivity or are without battery. Which means that then the PC must also be connected via cable. To do this, it also integrates a small base that in turn is connected to the PC via USB.
The base is an additional control with a rotary dial that allows you to adjust the volume in most applications you use and the operating system itself. And finally, incorporate a button with which you can adjust the level of your own audio that they let through to monitor your own voice and listen to yourself. This way you will know if you are shouting too much or not when you speak.
Little more, as you can see in the images, it is nothing groundbreaking in terms of design and only that extra microphone is what makes it intended for the gamer who is looking for the best listening experience and the rest of gaming headset it doesn't convince you.
Price and Availability
Along with the integrated support of the Amazon and Google assistant (Alexa and Google Assistant), the headphones are compatible with the Bose mobile application and the rest of the features that can be enjoyed there such as spatial audio, etc.
Available for advance purchase, the price of these Bose is 329 dollars. At the moment, they do not appear on the Spanish Bose page, but it should not take long for them to also be available at a price that in euros would be around 349 or 379 euros (official price of the current QC35 II). Although we hope that they will soon go down to the 250 euros that the Bose QC 35 II cost right now on Amazon. An interesting option if for some reason the Bose QC45 do not interest you.
You can also connect an external microphone to the latter, like many other similar proposals on the market. Although they are not the same quality and processing advantages that these new headphones could offer.
