Yea I went wired at the beginning of the pandemic, QC-35 wired with a wired antlion mic, works like a charm. 3 main reasons I went with this setup : 1- Reduce the audio lag (bluetooth comes with a noticeable lag in video conferencing) 2- Not having to worry about battery life (going wired vastly improved the QC-35 battery life) 3- Keep the stellar comfort (at least for me) of the QC-35.

I personally don't understand why people endure the sucky audio quality of bluetooth handset profile. Couple this with a very ordinary battery life for airpods (I don't care if it charges in 10 minutes, when it's out and you need it you're stuck), I don't understand why this product is so popular.

Another nice thing about Bose is that they're "somewhat" repairable.

They're not really designed to be, but because they sell in such huge quantities, there's kind of an "ecosystem" of replacement parts and YouTube repair videos etc. Replacement of the internal battery on the QC35 doesn't seem too terribly onerous. The earpads are shared with the QC25 too, which is nice.

I'm not nearly as eco-conscious as I should be, but it's nice to keep things out of the landfill.
