Bose....Quietcontrol 30 vs quietcomfort 35ii

First, Welcome. Second, we’re pretty non-judgemental here. If you’re not an audio professional, why would you want “professional” stuff? (Although I do like my Sennheiser IE-40 Pro IEMs).

I don’t see this as an either/or choice. The Quietcontrol 30 is very different than the Quietcomfort 35. If you can stand earbuds/IEMS for extended periods, and the Quietcontrol 30 feels good, then it sounds like it makes sense. I wear glasses too, but my light wire frames don’t seem to interfere with headphone earpads. If I wore Buddy Holly frames, maybe I’d try Lasik.

I started a post Is it a GIMMICK? a long time ago on just the subject if ANC is a gimmick or not. I guess it really doesn’t matter. If it works for you. I’ve moved away to using IEMs when I have to and sticking my fingers in my ears and shouting WHOOP WHOOP WHOOP on noisy airplanes when I could no longer stand the IEMs.

While this response isn’t very helpful, someone else will come along to answer your question soon enough.
