At this point, I can't imagine a single person being surprised when Apple announces that the iPhone 7 / Plus does not include a 3.5mm headphone port. And it is that there have already been many rumors, accessory manufacturers and even comments from people who are dedicated to the world of sound that suggest that the time has come to make changes. The last to do so was the brand Angry and it has done so by launching the QuietComfort 35, a headset wireless.
The QuietComfort 35, available for € 379,95They are practically the same as the previous model, headphones that were already very good but had what for some would be the handicap of cables, and I say "for some" because others think that sound will always travel better on a physical path than flying through the air. As it cannot be otherwise in quality headphones like those manufactured by Bose, the QC35 also include technology of Noise Cancellation.
QuietComfort 35, very good, nice, but not so cheap
According to Bose, the QC35s have a autonomy of 20 hours, which is not bad at all, but it is more or less the same autonomy that other quality wireless headphones offer. In any case, it is two hours longer than what the Parrot zik, at least in its second version.
When the rumors began that Apple would not include the 3.5mm headphone port as of the iPhone 7, I remember reading an opinion article that claimed that it was a positive step, since that would force headphone manufacturers to improve their products and also the connections, not to mention that we can finally enjoy the digital sound and leave aside a connector that was born in the nineteenth century. It remains to be seen if all this is true and, what seems more important to me, if Apple decides to use USB-C.
It may be a coincidence, but many say that the coincidence does not exist and that Bose has launched these headphones three months before the presentation of an iPhone that almost certainly will not use a 3.5mm port only adds more fuel to the fire.
