HOT.

A guy at work has the qc35 and I have to say they are amazing, noice cancelling. Is out of this world.

The only downside to mdr1000 is they have a defect where they easily crack. Google "mdr-1000 crack"

When you look at amazon warehouse there are no qc35s but 9 pages worth for the Sonys.

I have them, I think there amazing

I had them. Noise cancelling was the best I have ever used, howeverr sound quality was rubbish. MDR-1000X blow these out of the water and match the noise cancelling.

Does the noise cancelling technology do well at eliminating people talking, or is it for aeroplane engine sounds and similar?

All I can say is try them first. The MDR-1000X is an amazing bit of kit. Noise reduction is different than the QC35s and quite possibly better. The sound is 'thicker' in the Sonys. Not sure if this is good or not. I actually prefer the BOSE sound, but at this end of the market it's as much about opinion as aural fidelity. The deal breaker for me is that the Sonys are not that comfortable for me. The QC35s feel amazing. Just go with what you prefer. Imma grab some as soon as I can afford them.

B&W P7 sound much better than these.

No noise cancelling though.

They were £239 for "factory renewed" ones at the Swindon outlet centre. I couldn't tell the difference from a brand new pair, and they came with the same warranty.

He'll say MDR 1000X, then you'll go and read about all the issues they have with cracking headbands and Sony's lack of support.

Where were the QC35 cheaper last week?

Buy Other Sound Equipment - just in case you were wondering what BOSE means ;-)

Wasn't this 235 last week? Might as well wait for the price to drop again or get something better.

Can you please explain, 20% off what price? They've been 297 EUR from Amazon Spain for a couple of weeks now. I've been tracking prices too. I'm hoping that the Amazon Prime event on the 11th July will see a discount in the UK store
