The editors didn't like
Touch controls may not suit some
Volume gesture could be more granular
Non-user-replaceable battery
$50 more expensive than Bose QC35
Expensive
Mixed sound performance
Control pad is easy to misfire in certain modes
Possible to accidentally power the headphones up or down because of swiveling earcup controls
Digital signal processing is not for purists
Noise cancellation could be better
Touch controls are hit and miss
The buttons can be hard to find
As they are nearly flush with the casing. Plus
The minimal labeling is black on black
Making it hard to know what each button does
The Quick Guide that comes in the box is poorly written and hard to understand
However
It's pricier than the Bose
While the sound quality is excellent for Bluetooth
It's lacking that little bit of extra sparkle and definition (Sennheiser's own Momentum II Wireless sounds better)

Take nothing away from Bose – the QC35's are excellent headphones in their own right. But I came out of this test preferring the Sennheiser PXC 550's, for a number of reasons.First, they sound slightly better, and only narrowly fall short of the heights o...
