@rrhoover just curious with the drawn of headphone jack-less devices approaching. Great thing is that most of these headphones can plug in a cable when/if the battery dies.

@tylerh@rrhoover B&W (as of yesterday) offer both their P5 and P7 headphones in a wireless version.

I tried these att IFA today and they blow the bose away. I will be replacing my bose quite comfort 25 with these
Ahhh!
Ambient Sound mode.
I was obsessed for a while with finding noise-cancelling headphones that would let you take a call and actually hear yourself. I settled on the Parrot Zik 2.0's because of their "Street Mode", but sadly discovered post-purchase that Street Mode automatically shuts off when you answer a call. (Why, Parrot?! WHY.) They're alright headphones otherwise.
I wonder if the Ambient Sound mode on these stays on during calls..? Or, anyone know if the Bose QC35's have a similar feature?

Just watched all the videos on the site in pursuit of my own answers, but they don't show how the headphones work during calls. Shoot.

@ryanjamurphy The QC35's have an Ambient Sound mode when you answer calls.
I just bought the Bose QC 35 and LOVE them. Based on research I did, there was no competition. These seems like they can give Bose a run for their money...all $400 of the money it costs to buy them.

Been looking at QC 35, the PXC 550, and now these. Curious that everyone says Bose is still the best for noise canceling but the competing products are still more $. Sound may be a little better but since these headphones are mostly for commuters seems strange. Would definitely love to try these first.

@tylerh I wouldn't go for Bose before trying Sennheiser's Momentum wireless 'phones. Comparable (but marginally worse) noise cancellation and (in the opinion of myself and a few others who have tried both) better audio.

I don't think rivaling Bose is a compliment, especially when it comes to sound quality. Maybe for noise cancelling capability though, I will admit that Bose does that part very well.
I wouldn't do this. The polite thing to do would be to take them off momentarily and put them around your neck when engaging in a conversation with somebody.
