Beats VS Bose

It’s product review time! We know navigating the tech world as a possible buyer can be a bit overwhelming. You have Amazon reviews saying one thing, product descriptions saying another, and then random Facebook comments saying yet another.

We’re here to help.

Today we’re going to dive into the headphones world, specifically the latest in noise canceling technology.

Noise canceling headphones are all the rage these days. Not only can you listen to music, but you can drown out the noise of the streets, cafes, and even your boss (if you’re the daring type). Who wouldn’t want that?

Below we’ve put together a review of some of the top two noise canceling headphones on the market today: Beats Studio3 Wireless and Bose QuietComfort 35 II.

Beats Studio3 Wireless

At $350 the latest noise canceling headphones from Beats are not necessarily the least expensive, but they make up for it in design (Beats always does). Despite the fact that they were released last fall, these headphones are still hitting top numbers for sales. Check out some of their top qualities:

• 22 hours of battery life on regular settings, 40 hours using noise canceling consistently

• W1 chip, meaning it works seamlessly with any Apple products

• Better sound quality than any previous model

Bose QuietComfort 35 II

Coming in at $345, these Bose headphones are a whopping $5 less than Beats, but are agreeably better quality. Like Beats, this model came out a few months ago, but many critiques are stilling calling them some of the best on the market. Check out some of their top features below:

• “Action” button that allows you to connect to Google Assistant (Google’s version of Alexa)

• 20 hours in wireless mode with noise canceling on, still able to use in passive mode (just not as good sound quality)

• Available in black and silver
