I have been looking at the qc35’s for over a year - every time I went overseas last year I would check if and deals on but just couldn’t get myself to spend £400 on headphones.

I still look once a week tho in hope.

Well xbox cant use bluetooth so your out of luck there. I dont think there is a headphone which can be used for PC + X box + away from pc... you could plug them into the remote, which defeats the purpose but i think you gotta settle thats its one or the other

Apparently you can connect Bluetooth via the controller but I haven’t actually tried this.

Plugging in doesn’t affect the purpose to me at all as the controller itself is wireless so cord just moves along with you.

Answered your own question then, any BT headphone will do

Yeah actually going to test the Bluetooth connection with Xbox controller later to see if it actually works.

You should seriously consider buying yourself an Audioquest Dragonfly. This plus flac files plus decent headphones =

I got this recently, blows my mind how good music sounds now.
It's cheaper than Dragonfly black and red, from reviews it competes well with those 2.
Regarding flac I have found that it really doesn't matter much to my ears , I cant really tell difference between iTunes matched, flac or SACD dsf.
The sabaj supports it all though.

Definitely. 5 years of traveling with them around the world and the only problem is the cable is a bit iffy... but thats expected from all the bending, plugging, unplugging... buuut i still haven't changed it as it still works, other than that there is no cracks on any part, chusions still exist on the headband, ear cups are still soft as silk and of course they sound boss.

Looks interesting....
Got the Dragonfly Black V1.5. This with my Klipsch X10i's and a fully lossless song = pure listening heaven!

I find that the details are far more pronounced and sharper.

At the moment I'm just using iPhone 6S, Sabaj da2 and JBL E35 headphones.
There was definately an increase in listening experience once I was setup, hard to think it might get better with better headphones.

On laptop I used flac and sacd dsf, on mobile I used iTunes 256kbs, if I compare two songs flac alongside iTunes matched and run through spek side by side, there is very little diffference, just off the top margin.
