The review somehow seems just too cheerfully positive.
Anyway, I was also considering between the previous-gen Sonys (MDR-1000something) and the Bose QC35II. The Sonys deliver considerably more bass and overall oomph than the Bose. The Bose seemed more comfortable to wear, had better-balanced sound for what I normally listen to and were clearly superior to the Sonys in terms of noise cancellation.
Overall, I went with the Bose, even though I mostly prefer Sony for personal audio (I had a cassette Walkman, a Discman, two mp3 players (one being with their OpenMagicGate DRM and one without), and a waterproof Walkman that I use to this day).
When looking for headphones, it's very important to prioritize your needs and to have a clear idea what you're going to be listening to. For example, before the Bose I had wired Sennheiser Momentums and while I loved the style (oh the questions and compliments that they get – I had two people off the street asking me about them and one friend offering me to buy them right off me

) and really enjoyed the detailed highs, but getting them to exhibit *anything* in the low range was a problem and required a separate, equalized sound source. So jazz and classical music sounded just awesome in the Sennheisers, but anything with a beat or bass line was just bland.
