13175133, Best wireless headphones: Bose QuietComfort 35 vs V-Moda CrossFade 2s?

I've had the wired V-Moda M-100s for a few years and been really happy with both the sound and durability. Looking for a new pair, seen that there's now a wireless version:

However also considering the wireless Bose instead, since I recall from trying on a bunch of high-quality headphones last time that the noise-cancellation on the Bose makes a huge difference in noisy environments like airports etc, to the extent that I almost worry they shut out TOO much of the outside world to be safe when walking around a city, for example. So maybe the sound quality isn't quite as high as a pair like the V-Modas, but isn't the overall sonic experience better, since with the V-Modas much more outside sound would leak in?

Anyone have thoughts here (or a similarly quality third option)? Yes I realize there have been headphones posts in the past, but never seen the V-Moda discussed so appreciate anyone's input.
