I agree. I'm still an owner & fan of the Bose Quiet Comfort 35 II, but also have the latest Sony WH-1000XM3 (and XM2). I think the Sony's have better noise cancelling, enough that I pick them up daily. I typically work with them on, no music. The QC 35 travels better, being slightly less bulky.

For the above comments about Bose in general, it's untrue for this specific use case. Before the Sony model was released there wasn't a better option out there.
