I like the idea... But... My QC35ii's already:

- tell me the battery level when turn them on, and the batteries last for so long that they rarely get low enough for me to care what the level is.

- Have a button that cycles through which 2 devices are simultaneously connected. I can't imagine a system menu being anymore convenient than a dedicated button on my ear.

I wouldn't consider buying it unless it changed the deeper settings such as self voice level (I change this often while zooming). That's the only setting that doesn't have a quick shortcut physical button on the device.

Thank you!

I have QC36ii's as well and I didn't know that I could use the headphones themselves to switch which devices are connected. I've always used the app on my iPhone to control this, which is problematic if I'm on a call on my computer and it's paired with my AppleTV.

Hehe! I can now understand why you went to th effort of reverse engineering! But yes, just slide the power button past the on position.

First slide will tell you which device's are connected.

Subsequent slides will cycle through the device's in what appears to be most recently connected order. Subsequent slides cycle to the next device and when you hear the name you want, stop.

Also, since two devices can be connected at once, the device you least recently connected to will be disconnected.

It's super intuitive once you get the hang of it.

I'm feeling very dumb asking this, but... which button is that?

[Humphrey]

The Power button. Just push it past the on position.

First slide will tell you which device's are connected.

Subsequent slides will cycle through the device's in what appears to be most recently connected order. Subsequent slides cycle to the next device and when you hear the name you want, stop.

Once device is connected, you can cycle again to select a second device.

Also, since two devices can be connected at once, the device you least recently connected to will be disconnected.

It's super intuitive once you get the hang of it.

I wanted to know myself, so I just checked the guide on the iOS app which actually tells you this. The slider on right ear piece which is also used to turn the headset on/off. A short held slide to the right apparently switches connected devices, while a long held slide opens it for pairing.

Oh wow, owned mine for years... never knew that.

Often been annoyed when despite nothing playing on one device, it wouldn't switch. Great tip, thanks!

> Have a button that cycles through which 2 devices are simultaneously connected.

I understand this as being able to cycle through all combinations of two stored devices. I'm only able to select the next previously paired device, not a combination of two devices. Have I misunderstood the GP? I can't find any mention in the help about selection of two devices, only iteration of previously paired devices.

When a new device is selected, the least recently selected device is disconnected. So once your first device is selected, start cycling again and select your second device. It's just a FIFO (First in first out) queue of devices.
