no clue, but the BOSE sound is quite Boring, crappy codecs aswell.

That dip in the treble contributes to the warmth.

The dip in the treble makes them sound too dark to my ears. It was likely done to reduce the ANC hiss. But the excessive bass was by far the biggest issue. Presumably Sony think that wasa good idea too!

I can't make up my mind between XM3 and QC35, I need a pair of NC HP so bad. Could someone give me some advice? Thanks!

How about trying them out and then make your own decision?

I really don't know where I can try out the XM3.

The bass heavy and dark signature of the Sony can be corrected if you have a software player with EQ. Once this is done, it will sound better than the Bose over wireless thanks to LDAC.
Correction: if you have an iPhone and AAC encoded music then I believe the Bose can be sent these without any recompression, which is very nice. I don't have an iPhone though :/

Amazon

These don't seem to be readily stock at a Best Buy near me. Even online, websites show expected delivery date a bit beyond their usual shipping time. Seems it's limited stock currently, distributed with small quantities.

I can't find a store I can get it farely quickly.

The QC35 is long-overdue for an update. I wonder what Bose's answer will be to the XM2 and XM3. Might wait a little longer before upgrading my XM2. Since I only use NC headphones every once in a while I am not in a rush. QC45 must be something special otherwise they can pretty much shut the business.

Buy both and return the one least liked.

This guy always looks like he's had one too many coffees. But I tend to agree on his conclusions regarding headphones. (Not that much on amps.)

As best I can tell...

Outer Pads:
Width: 3.25 in
Height: 4.25 in

Inner Pads:
Width: 1.5 in
Height: 2.5 in
Depth: Around 1 in, though it varies across the surface of the pad

Thanks for taking the time, much appreciated!
