I’ve owned the QC35 since April of 2017 and the QC45 since last year to not have to move them around from home to the office every damn day. I’ve used them for everything, from multiple flights, bus rides, train rides, in the office, at home, in the coffee shop, in a library, you name it. And not once have I been disappointed in them. I’m not sure about the Sony’s weight, but the light weight of the QCs is incredibly advantageous, when you wear them all day. After the first couple of minutes I do not even notice that I’m wearing them anymore - they are that comfortable.
They only gripe I’ve had with the 35s, that was fixed with the 45 or maybe even with the 35 II already, was the weird plastic strip that holds the replaceable ear muffs in place broke a little and now sometimes the muffs fall out of the 35s (I really should get on to 3d printing a replacement, but I use the 45s at home and they dont have that issue).
What are you other devs using and what has your experience with it been?

use the camel camel camel extension to see the price, in dec they were 400$ now they are 500$ - i will not get them if they dont come back down in price , - added them to my karma price notification app so we will see what happens.
