Our Verdict

Bose QuietComfort 35 II/QC35 II Wireless 2018

Mpow Flame Pro Truly Wireless

The Mpow Flame Pro Truly Wireless and the Bose QuietComfort 35 II/QC35 II Wireless 2018 are very different pairs of wireless headphones. The Mpow are truly wireless headphones with ear-hooks that are much more portable, and feel much more stable, making them a better option for taking to the gym. On the other hand, the Bose are wireless over-ears that are much more comfortable, have ANC to block out background noise, have a much more neutral sound profile out-of-the-box, and a longer battery off a single charge.
