Noise cancelling is definitely a required feature, it's just with some noise cancelling it can feel a bit strange so wondered if the fact you can't turn it off whether or not this would become uncomfortable after a while?

You can turn off noise cancellation on the Bose but only if you use them as a wired pair.
I've used the QC35s on 5 flights over 8 hours recently (12 hours was the longest) and the noise cancelling gave no discomfort whatsoever.

I can't see why it would give discomfort, it's not really noticeable.
My previous Sennheiser's with noise cancelling I've worn for nearly 20hours straight with no discomfort.

No, the noise cancelling stays on. It's much less noticeable than some earlier models, although most of these headphones with noise cancelling are tuned for it to be turned on and don't sound as good with it off.
If noise cancelling isn't a requirement, the Bose soundlink are probably worth a listen at a hundred quid cheaper.
