How We Research
We compare products from their published specs and features; the verdicts below are our independent editorial opinions.
If you want a boom mic cable that doubles as an everyday voice-call and music cable with the widest device compatibility, choose Gneinour QC35; if you need a purpose-built gaming mic boom with a cardioid noise-canceling capsule and a protective mic cover, choose Puiixur QC35. Both are 4-foot replacement boom microphone cables for the Bose QuietComfort 35 and QC35 II, both use a 2.5 mm plug into the headphone and a 3.5 mm gold-plated plug into your device, and both give you an inline mute switch. The difference is in how each brand frames the job: Gneinour sells a versatile audio accessory, Puiixur sells a gaming mic.
• Gneinour QC35 — biggest strength: The broadest stated compatibility list in this pair, covering Mac, PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One controllers, iPhones, Android phones, laptops and music players, plus a telescopic boom and a tangle-free, abrasion-resistant cable.
• Gneinour QC35 — biggest trade-off: The description leans on acoustic noise cancellation without naming a specific microphone pickup pattern, so if you specifically want a cardioid capsule and a mic cover, you won't find that spelled out here.
• Puiixur QC35 — biggest strength: A clearly defined unidirectional cardioid noise-canceling microphone with a protective mic cover against dust, moisture and corrosion, plus a 7-pin male-to-male connector that Puiixur says keeps impedance low.
• Puiixur QC35 — biggest trade-off: Its specs are thinner on everyday use cases — no music playback or conference-call framing, and its phone compatibility is listed only as "smartphones, specific models not listed."
• Who each pick is for: Gneinour QC35 suits someone who wants one cable for gaming, calls and music; Puiixur QC35 suits someone who mostly wants a gaming boom mic and cares about the mic capsule itself.
Gneinour's QC35 boom mic is the more hybrid product of the two. Its feature list openly splits its time between "everyday scenarios" — video conferences, Skype voice calls, mobile phone calls and music playback — and esports titles like League of Legends and Honor of Kings. That tells you the brand designed this as a general-purpose replacement cable first and a gaming mic second.
The hardware backs that up. You get a 2.5 mm plug into the headphones and a 3.5 mm gold-plated plug into your source, with the 3.5 mm end stated to work with Mac, PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One controllers, iPhones, Android phones and anything else with a 3.5 mm jack. That's the longest compatibility list in this comparison, and it's the practical reason to pick it. The telescopic boom slides to whatever position your mouth happens to be in, and the inline mute button mutes or unmutes with an up-or-down flick — no software, no menus.
The cable itself is 4 ft and described as foldable and easy to store, which matters if this lives in a bag rather than permanently on your desk. Gneinour also calls out interference-resistant materials for stable, lag-free transmission, a tangle-free and abrasion-resistant jacket, and a 30 Hz frequency figure. Item weight is listed at 5 g, so it adds essentially nothing to the headset. The brand notes 22 years of manufacturing experience and a focus on 3C replacement parts — a reasonable signal for a replacement-part purchase, though it's marketing copy, not a spec.
Buy it if you want one cable that handles Discord, work calls, phone calls and music without you swapping anything, and you want the widest stated device compatibility. Skip it if your priority is a named cardioid pickup pattern with a protective mic cover — that's not what Gneinour is selling here.
Puiixur's QC35 II microphone replacement is the more surgical product. It's built around the microphone itself: a unidirectional cardioid capsule that Puiixur describes as noise canceling, capturing clear sound from directly in front while suppressing background noise. If you've ever used a boom mic that picks up your keyboard, your fan and your roommate, the cardioid pattern is the spec that matters most, and Puiixur names it outright.
It also adds a detail Gneinour doesn't mention: a high-quality microphone cover that Puiixur says reduces noise while protecting the capsule from dust, moisture and corrosion. For a part that lives clipped near your face and gets breathed on for hours, that's a genuinely sensible design choice.
The connector story is similar but framed differently. Puiixur specifies a 2.5 mm TRS male plug to a 3.5 mm TRRS male plug, gold-plated on both ends, with 7 pins and male-to-male gender — the brand's argument being that gold plating resists corrosion and keeps impedance lower. The cable is 4 ft of black PVC, described as durable and wear-resistant. Compatibility covers Bose QuietComfort 35 II and QC35, plus Mac, Windows, PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One controllers, laptops, phones and Android phones.
Where it's quieter is everyday use. Puiixur lists its recommended use as gaming, indoor and outdoor, and doesn't pitch conference calls or music playback the way Gneinour does. Its phone compatibility is vague — "smartphones, specific models not listed" — so if you're buying mainly to take calls on a specific handset, that's a gap worth noting. The included components are simply one QC35 mic boom cable.
Buy it if you want a gaming-first boom mic with a named cardioid capsule, a protective cover and gold-plated connectors on both ends. Skip it if you need the cable to pull double duty for music and conference calls and you want a phone-compatibility list you can actually check.
Side-by-Side: Which Should You Choose?
• Best for all-round use (calls, music, gaming) → Gneinour QC35. Gneinour explicitly covers video conferences, Skype, mobile calls and music playback alongside esports.
• Best for the widest device compatibility → Gneinour QC35. iPhones, Android phones, Mac, PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One controllers, laptops and music players are all listed.
• Best for connector detail → Puiixur QC35. 2.5 mm TRS to 3.5 mm TRRS, gold-plated, 7 pins, male-to-male — a more precise spec sheet.
• Best for durability claims → a tie, with different angles. Gneinour emphasizes tangle-free, abrasion-resistant and corrosion-resistant properties; Puiixur emphasizes a wear-resistant PVC jacket and gold plating against corrosion.
• Best for portability → Gneinour QC35. The 4 ft cable is described as foldable and easy to store, and the item is listed at just 5 g.
• Best for a quick volume-style mute workflow → Puiixur QC35. Its inline switch is described as handling both master volume and mic mute.
• Best if you're unsure about your phone → Gneinour QC35. Its phone compatibility list is far more specific than "smartphones, specific models not listed."
I'd buy the Gneinour QC35. In my opinion, the deciding factor isn't a single spec — it's that Gneinour built this cable for more than one job. It's stated to work with iPhones and Android phones by name, it covers conference calls and music as well as esports, and the telescopic boom plus inline mute make it usable the moment you plug it in. Puiixur's cardioid capsule and mic cover are genuinely appealing for pure gaming, and if that's all you do, it's the sharper tool. But as a single replacement cable for a QC35 or QC35 II you'll use all day, I'd take the broader one.
Both are built for PS4, PS5, Xbox One controllers and PC. Puiixur names a unidirectional cardioid noise-canceling microphone with a protective cover, which is the more gaming-specific design. Gneinour instead emphasizes interference-resistant materials and lag-free transmission for gaming and video conferences. For pure mic-pattern focus I'd lean Puiixur; for a cable that also does calls and music, Gneinour.
Yes. Both list compatibility with the Bose QuietComfort 35 and QuietComfort 35 II. Both use a 2.5 mm plug into the headphone and a 3.5 mm plug into your device, so the physical connection approach is the same — the difference is in the listed device compatibility beyond the headset.
Gneinour describes advanced acoustic noise cancellation that captures clear audio from the front while suppressing background noise, but doesn't name a pickup pattern. Puiixur specifies a unidirectional cardioid pattern plus a mic cover that reduces noise and protects the capsule from dust, moisture and corrosion. If the mic capsule is your main concern, Puiixur gives you more to go on.
Neither brand publishes that here, and it changes over time, so check the current price on Amazon using the button on this page before you decide. My advice: weigh the price against whether you need a gaming-first mic (Puiixur) or a do-everything cable (Gneinour).
