The Bose Quiet Comfort 35s are a decent pair of noise-cancelling headphones, so we were disappointed to learn that Bose is putting them out to pasture. However, we are also excited about the forthcoming launch of a second-generation model.
A picture of the new headphones, leaked in a newsletter last month, showed a button we hadn't seen before. But now the mystery has been solved – it is a dedicated button for Google Assistant.
According to 9to5google, this means you're only one tap away from Google's AI answering your questions, setting reminders and all sorts of other smart-things.
The addition of the button is the only cosmetic difference, so it's unlikely Bose is making many drastic changes to the QC35IIs.
The launch of the new-generation model is believed to be imminent, with someone trying to purchase the original QC35s in an Australian store being told a new model was coming in "two to three weeks".
Google is set to unveil several new products at an event on 4th October – including the possiblity of some Airpod rivals – so we expect more information then.
