When, in God's name, will these manufacturers start putting a mike mute button/switch on headsets?

The difference is the assistant integration from what I know. Also, Costco version will be sold for 269.99 starting 8.9 so the question is whether the voice assistant is worth $20.

Hyun77Another plus for the First Series was the included plug/adaptor for wired use with in-flight movies--meaning you can watch the entertainment and skip the rental/sales price for the crapy airline headphones. For whatever reason, the Second Series (these) doesn't include the adaptor.

I have these. They're superb gear. The software that comes with them, isn't, but you don't need that stuff really to use these to full potential.
The sound quality is good, decent, but not amazing at this price point. However the noise cancellation is bang on and between the two you end up with an excellent listening experience. Is it equivalent to what you get working with, say, Sennheisers of a similar price? Uh, no. Not when wired into a preamp. You're still giving something up going untethered, at least unless you want to add a couple zeroes to your price... But it's a whole lot less than it used to be. Going wireless used to be a lot harder. To me, the sound's good enough and the noise cancellation is integrated very well, and the general freedom of movement, lack of entangling cord, and noise cancellation end up making it an immersive thing for me.
Mine go all day and if I forget to charge them at night, they go well into the next day before needing juice. They're relatively easy to plug in, which sounds kind of funny to say until you think about all the time you spend fussing around with charging cords and USB ports.
I do not like, and do not use, the mostly optional Bose software, nor do I use the headphones to make other AI assistant inquiries. You're being recorded by it nonstop, it's like having Alexa strapped to your noggin. If anything the Bose permissions are more invasive than Amazon's, which is to say, extremely invasive. I would recommend, with full candor, that there is nothing in the software that comes anywhere close to justifying its invasiveness or the various potential risks you place yourself at by allowing yourself and everything near you to be recorded whenever the device is on. Most people grossly underestimate that risk. Some don't but figure their privacy is completely assketeered anyway and are going to just roll with it. If you already chat with various virtual assistants and use voice activated technologies, and think worrying about it is silly, then feel free to disregard this warning. :)
The software's just a side issue, though. If you live in a noisy environment at all, the noise cancellation is amazing. Funny sensation at first when it turns on -- almost like the air pressure has gone up, like you've put an apnea mask on your ears. Hard to otherwise explain, but it's minor and it's not something you notice much after a bit. And it does a wonderful job of killing background noise, it brings a cathedral hush to the whole process. You can hear some sound, it's not like you're deaf to the world, but it takes everything down to a murmur.

reswrightWouldn't agree with you on the software--you need it to alternate between bluetooth connections--especially if you need a third connection from time to time. That said, you didn't mention how well these work as a phone headset--you hear them, and they hear you--perfectly!

Love these headphones, but right now Best Buy (!!!) has the better-sounding Sony WH-1000X M3 for a scant $10 more. In stock, in store. Because Bose just released a new headphone, the 700, which has identical sound to the QC 35 (which is to say, good, but not as good as the Sony 1000) plus more microphones for better ANC and phone conversations. (Anecdotally, the Sony is still better at music and at conversations, the Bose 700 is better at ANC.)
And the Bose 700 doesn't fold, while both the QC 35 and the Sony 1000 do.

Bose are ok but if you are looking for a hi-fi headset,I would recommend Sennheiser's PXC 550. As of today, July 2nd, 2019 you can find the PXC's on Amazon for cheaper

allard_van_der_kampI've also considered the M50XBT at one point (also factory refurbished, albeit $50 more), prior to purchasing the PXC. However, the left side cup controls seems awkward to use (like driving a RHD car; Japanese Audio Technica seems to cater to the left handed crowd..). It was around that time when the PXC 550 presented itself for that price (plus more features, besides ANC), that it was just too good to pass up.

I can also confirm these are quite good. I've had a pair for almost a year now and they're some of the best noise cancelling headphones I've used.

Keep in mind boss has just released a new set of ANC Bluetooth headphones, although more pricy, it’s probably still a reason this drop was made possible, go check them out before you decide. I personally just went for the sennheiser pxc 550’s and I love them. The only thing that kind of annoys me is the touch controls which you may accidentally engage which can be annoying and something to think about with the new Bose headphones is that they ditched the physical buttons on the qc35’s and went for touch. The physical buttons on the qc35 is still a huge strongpoint for many in this segment. But I don’t think at 250 for the sennheiser I could have went for the qc35’s at 350 USD. The price of this drop makes this even more enticing, but at this point they are slightly dated

I already have a pair of these and love them, definitely worth the money if you can afford it! The sound quality I would rate at 8/10, noise cancelation at 10/10, and comfort at a 9/10. I snagged a 3.5mm to 2.5mm cable and can make these wired headphones, you can actually use them that way without needing to power them (just won't have noise cancelation unless you turn them on).
