What has your experience been with the multipoint feature of Bose QC35 IIs? I'll make do with above average noise cancellation; doesn't have to be top shelf in that aspect. I mainly want multipoint[1] and Bose I've been told does it absolutely seamlessly more so than the Jabras, Sennheisers etc. [1] What is Bluetooth multipoint, and why isn’t it more popular? https://www.soundguys.com/bluetooth-multipoint-explained-28601/ https://www.soundguys.com/bluetooth-multipoint-explained-286...

Yeah it works well enough. I have an iPad and my S10 connected and it works as expected. Are you looking for any specific use cases?

Very positive. IMHO they have the only Bluetooth implementation that doesn't suck. I had no problem with having it paired to multiple devices and switching from one to the other.

It works great. I didn’t know that all Bluetooth headphones don’t do that.

  Incredibly, the Sony WH-1000XM3 (the 3 in XM3 is because this is the 3rd generation of the product) at this point still doesn’t have it. Similar price range, and maybe the closest direct competitor to the QC35/700 series in terms of audio quality and noise cancelling, yet it’s still missing this feature.

    My Airpods pro don't have it either apparently.

    I bought a Sony WH-1000XM3 lately and i was so disappointed compared to my other Bose or Jabra product...

It's a start, but personally, between my work phone + laptop, and personal phone + laptop, along with misc other devices, means that I find myself in the app switching devices more often than is ideal. It's a bit cumbersome. Better than competing products, way better than trying to manage without, could still use additional improvement to support additional devices.

  On the QC35 II you can cycle through the devices by using the power button.

Surprisingly these cheapo Anker Noise Cancelling headphones do support multi-point. https://www.soundcore.com/products/variant/life-q20/A3025011 https://www.soundcore.com/products/variant/life-q20/A3025011 I was considering several different pairs including the Bose and picked up these as I couldn't stomach the cost of the more expensive headphones. At 60$ they are great, the noise cancelling is good enough. The battery life is amazing. I can sit down at my desk and use them all day while connected to my laptop and phone. If either device reports a "Call" coming in it gets priority and I hear the ring. 10/10 Experience for the price.

Flawless. It's connected to my work laptop and phone at work, and my personal laptop and (same) phone at home. Never gets confused, just "$device_name disconnected" when I leave one place and "$device_name connected" when I get to the other. It's so jarring to use anyone else's Bluetooth products after using them. It's so smooth.
