Last month we reported about a leaked headset from Bose and now we get more details about it and its features. Bose is reportedly releasing the QuietComfort 35 II and with it includes support for Google Assistant. The Verge previously spotted an unidentified button the QC35 II but they didn’t know what it was for. 9to5Google got their hands on the QC35 II’s fact sheet from Bose retail employees and they saw information on Google Assistant information there which states: “With your Google Assistant built in, you can control music, send & receive texts, and get answers using just your voice. Just press and hold the Action button, and start talking.” Android Police got a copy of a leaked official product video in French, which you can check out in this link.
The QC 35 II looks similar to its predecessor with the exception of the button. It also comes in the same black and silver color options. It has “adjustable noise cancelation” and “noise-rejecting dual microphone” for “clear calls and accurate Google Assistant response in noisy environments.” This pair is supposedly lighter at 5.7oz (compared to the 8.3oz of the original QC 35), which should be great for longer use. Battery is still rated at 20 hours. Price might be the same as the original QC35 as was reported from a buyer in Australia who made a down payment for AU$499 (around CA$490) for a pair of QC35 IIs, which is the price of the current model.
