Our Verdict

Bose QuietComfort 35 II/QC35 II Wireless 2018

JBL E65BTNC Wireless

The Bose QuietComfort 35 II/QC35 II Wireless 2018 are better headphones than the JBL E65BTNC Wireless. The Bose have a more neutral sound profile, and their ANC feature is one of the best we’ve tested to date. They're also one of the most comfortable headphones we’ve ever reviewed. On the other hand, the JBL have better wireless range and feel more stable since they have a higher clamping force on the head, which can be useful during physical activity. They also have an in-line microphone that the Bose lack.
