The QC35 II noise canceling headphones have all the performance and features of the original QC35, delivering the same industry-defining noise cancellation, audio performance, and up to 20 hours of battery life but are the first headphone to offer seamless voice access to Google Assistant, and comes with settings to control the way the noise is canceled. The same controls remain on the right earcup – audio volume, and the multi-function button for incoming calls and accessing Siri. And now, there's a new Action button on the left earcup to connect to Google Assistant – without having to grab the phone, unlock it, and find the app.
Bose and Google worked together on the exclusive experience in the QC35 II, making it the first integration of Google Assistant in a headphone set. It can help to stay connected – from simple things like making a call, to notifying about incoming messages, events and reminders, and reading them back. A proprietary Bose microphone system picks-up voices with remarkable accuracy, so commands are understood.
Like its predecessor, the QC35 II's noise cancellation is fully activated when the headphone is on, but the Bose Connect App now offers choices to keep it on (high), turn it down (low), or disable it completely (off). The Connect App also allows to change the Action button's functionality, to control the noise settings from the earcup, and switch back to Google Assistant when needed.
The QC35 II noise canceling headphones come in black and silver, both available now. The QC35 II's Action button will access the Google Assistant in the markets where Google Assistant is available; in other markets, the Action button will control noise settings only.
