" ... I did some research and found that the battery life from the Sony's were 30hrs compared to the 20hrs on the Bose, (to be honest though, that wasn't really a dealbreaker as realistically there won't be a situation were I will be using the headphones for 30hrs straight without having the opportunity to charge it beforehand). ... - Tells you actual battery life time left improvement from QC35 II ... "
" ... I loaned it to a few friends to see how long we could keep it going and it did last the full 21 hours advertised. ... "
