Our Verdict

Bose QuietComfort 35 II/QC35 II Wireless 2018

AKG N700NC M2 Wireless

The Bose QuietComfort 35 II/QC35 II Wireless 2018 are slightly better over-ears than the AKG N700NC M2 Wireless. While both headphones can block out a lot amount of ambient sound, thanks to their ANC systems, the Bose are more comfortable, and have a better overall mic performance. However, you can customize the AKG's sound using their companion app's parametric EQ.
