Bose QC35 II headphones with Google Assistant announced

Google Assistant is making its way into more products and for the first time on headphones. Bose has launched the first headphone with built-in support for Google Assistant. Dubbed Bose QC 35 II , the headphones have a dedicated Action button on the back of the left earcup that you can use to trigger Google Assistant.

However, you need to connect the headphone to your Android or iPhone device via Bluetooth, open Google Assistant app, and follow the instruction. From there, just push and hold the headphone's action button, and start giving voice commands to Google Assistant. 

You can ask Google Assistant to call friends, play music or news, read messages and calendar events and more. Google says Assistant on the QC 35 II will be available in the U.S., Australia, Canada, Germany, France and the U.K. 

The headphones also offer active noise cancelling feature, and promises up to 20 hours of battery life. The Action button can be remapped to toggle different ANC settings such as high (to keep it on), low (turn it down) or off (disable it completely) using the Bose connect app.

The Bose QC 35 II has been priced at $349.95 (Rs. 23,000) and is now available for purchase in the U.S in Black and Silver color.
