Unrivaled noise canceling, Exceptional sound for wireless, Multiple audio codec support, Solid design and touch controls,
Comfy, but not Bose-comfy, Lacks dynamic multiple device switching, Longer charge time than other cans, $50 more expensive than Bose QC35

Expensive, Noise cancellation is good, but not great, Included audio cable lacks inline remote
The Sony MDR-1000X wireless headphones offer solid audio performance and noise cancellation, but the industry leader costs less...
