What i have omited to tell is i have used the QC35 II in bluetooth and we all know that DSP settings will differ because of that. After listening to. the QC35 with the cable and ANC on it's sound a lot better than on bluetooth
I have purchased the QC35 II after the review but I am a little disappointed, don't get me wrong this is a good headphone and it sound right but I find it little bit dull sounding and not as enjoyable as my Etymotic ER4XR. I found the ANC doesn't compete with ER4XR amazing passive noise isolation.
I dont like abyss at all, with their bold claim of "best headphone in the world" without any objective data backing it up. And with objective data it's not really at abyss advantage.
I did the math too and i have spend some "considerable" amount of money i think and i am only 23 ^^
