Headset Buddy ClearMic That fits Bose QC35 - Noise Cancelling Boom Microphone Compatible with QuietComfort 35 Headphones (CM3504)

I was not using my Bose QC-35s very often as I preferred the size of airpods and they provided enough noise cancelling for a flight, train, etc. However, I didn't have a bluetooth connection to my work computer and desperately needed a headset for Zoom calls that would cancel out all the noise from around the office. Headset buddy turned my Bose QC-35s into the perfect solution. I bought a splitter so that the headphones can be plugged into both the headphone and mic jack of my computer and now I can take calls and it sounds like I am the only person in the office. I have asked how I sound and everyone says it sounds great. Such a better solution than spending hundreds of dollars on a dedicated computer headset.

I use this product quite a bit after purchasing it last May. Use it for my PS4 with my QC35 headphones. Worked great at first, then after some use the little control piece fell apart. I thought, "No big deal, I'll put it back together and see if that works." Now I never touched and still don't use that part of the cord, but it still comes apart every once in a while and has become such a pain to put it back together that I have tape wrapped around it. The cord also has never been all that secure in the Bose headphones, but they worked so I didn't think anything of it until the sound started going in and out about a month ago. If I hold it in, I get perfect sound as it keeps changing from sound in both ears to just my right ear.

This is a tentative review. I just initiated a return and I'm waiting to hear back from customer service, so will update once I hear more. I bought this for gaming with my Bose QC35 headphones. Product seemed to be in good condition out of the box. As soon as I plugged it in, I only got audio on the left side. It was very clear audio, but I expected to hear audio in both ears. Additionally, after further testing and troubleshooting, it looks like there's no microphone as well. No matter how much I amp up the gain or speak louder, neither my computer or phone register anything from me. [UPDATE - 2 stars instead of 1] Headset Buddy customer service was pretty good. They clarified whether the mic was plugged in all the way, which was a little bit annoying to waste a back-and-forth on something silly, but I understand. They sent a replacement once we established it wasn't user error. The replacement works - sorta. Because of how it plugs in and the amount of weight, the mic swivels around easily when it's plugged in. This means wear on the audio contacts. Additionally, it fits a little loose. After 2 days of use, the right-channel audio dropped out and required me to wiggle the boom a little to ensure contact. I like the concept, but the execution isn't there. I'm looking at spending $30 on the Bose QC25 mic cable or forking over big money for the nflightmic. [2nd UPDATE[ Back down to 1 star - Right channel only works half the time, and I haven't even had it for a week. It's ridiculous for something that costs $30.

I was disappointed at first because people reported that my voice wasn't coming through very well. But then, I realized that the microphone is directional and it wasn't pointed to my mouth! If you gently squeeze the foam covering, you can feel the microphone inside. It's shaped like a hockey puck. One specific side of the puck should be directed to your mouth. I experimented with Skype's Echo Call testing service and after listening to my own voice, it was easy to determine that the hockey puck was facing the wrong way! I just twisted it around to face my mouth and viola! To ensure it doesn't happen again, I took a silver colored sharpie and marked on the mic a point that should face my mouth. Easy to tell by inspection if it is in the right orientation.

This is a good addition to the terrific Bose headphones and adds a microphone to a receive-only headset. It works very well, has excellent sound quality (though there is no "sidetone" - the audio is not fed back to the headphone speakers so you can hear how loud you are speaking). My only complaints are that the microphone boom is a little "floppy" - meaning it is easily bumped out of place, and the cable is cloth-covered and makes noise when it rubs over your clothing. Other than that, this is a very useful mic.

Adding to what I wrote initially as seen below. The volume control part broke in just a few weeks, just like the previous cheaper model I bought from the same manufacturer. See the attached photograph. Right now the circuit board is exposed and some times when it touches my arm the volume jumps to maximum or minimum. And even when it was not broken, sometimes the up or down button would get stuck and raise volume to max or minimum in the middle of a call. For this reason, I'm lowering from five stars to two stars. SUGGESTION TO THE MANUFACTURER: if adding a quality volume control is too pricey, how about don't add one at all? I would be perfectly happy to use the volume control on my keyboard, which now a days all keyboards have. I'm even willing to pay the same price for one that does not have volume control. - - - - - - Exactly as described. The best part of this product is that I'm able to use the headphones without the noise cancelling on, which is very helpful in an office setting. I didn't notice any audio quality degradation, but I'm tone deaf, so don't take my word for it. I was recommended by my coworker, I'll recommend it again myself.

Hallo, die Mikrophonqualität beim QC35 ist nur geringfügist besser, aber immer noch nicht ausreichend, um vom Gesprächspartner verstanden zu werden. Sobald es im Raum auch nur geringe Hintergrundgeräusche gibt, ist die Mikrophonqualität mit diesem Headset genauso unpraktikabel wie ohne. Lieber das Geld in ein gutes altes USB Skype Headset investieren, dieses Mikro hier ist reine Geldverschwendung.

So far it's been great. I've tested the mic on video calls with my MacBook in a loud coffee shop, as well as outdoors near a busy road, and callers said I sounded great. The noise isolation is not magic - they could still tell I was in a noisy environment - but by and large they said the background was not a distraction. The isolation is certainly leaps and bounds better than the built in mic in both the Bose, the MacBook itself, or a generic pair of headphones. Also, the mic itself is compact enough to fit in the Bose cary case, and it's reasonably small and discrete when worn. You'll still look like a nerd wearing a boom mic in the United lounge, but you'll be a productive nerd. This has earned a spot in my travel bag!

Ottimo prodotto, un upgrade indispensabile per le mitiche Bose QC35 o QC35II, la cancellazione del rumore rispetto al cavo originale Bose è notevolissima. Le cuffie Bose diventano un headset utilizzabile realmente in ambito lavorativo in uffici o posti affollati o rumorosi. Inoltre chicca da notare il selettore per aumentare il volume o rispondere alle chiamate ha le stesse fattezze e colori del cavetto originale Bose. Secondo me un must have per chi ha le Bose in oggetto.

Funciona a la perfección, todo tal cual venía la publicación. Muchas Grs!

Awesome, works perfectly, i spend many hours per day on Skype with clients and colleagues and sound is crystal clear and it fits nicely in the BOSE case. The boom is perfectly positional and doesn't kink straightens like it's never been bent. It's expensive for what it is, but in my opinion it's worth it
