Our Verdict
Bose QuietComfort 35/QC35 Wireless 2016
JBL Everest Elite 700 Wireless
The Bose QuietComfort 35/QC35 Wireless 2016 are better noise cancelling headphones than the JBL Everest Elite 700 Wireless. The Bose are better more comfortable over-ear fit and isolate a lot more in noisy conditions than the JBL. They also have a longer battery life and a better default sound that works with most genres but that you can't EQ like the JBL. This makes the JBL a bit more customizable than the Bose. They also have a slightly better latency performance and wireless range, but their tight fit may not be for everyone.
