PS - finally received my free headphones (Bose QC35 II) from the Pixel 5 promotion - they're not amazing. My B&O H6 (edit: H8) I bought in 2016 knock them out of the water in terms of fidelity and build quality.
HOWEVER the battery life is decent - lasts all day and very quick to charge if I forget over night. They have a built in mic so I can use them on whatever device I'm using to make speak - have been told I'm loud and clear (though I do notice myself speaking loudly to hear myself above the noise cancelling). Audio is fine for reference so I can use them for editing video as well, if not for a final mix. And they appear to have some kind of push button to select which bluetooth device they're connected to - though I haven't mastered this. But I think it means I can quickly push a button and switch to phone if my Pixel starts ringing or switch back to laptop if I'm on Zoom/Teams/Meet etc or back to desktop if I'm editing.
They also come with a hard-ish case with cable storage which helped on some shoots this week. I haven't tried Google Voice yet but probably will. And back to build quality, while the B&O are much nicer, they're a bit more delicate (and have a crack in the headband now after 4 years of heavy use). So actually having the plasticky/stretchy/flexible Bose is kinda useful and I won't be precious if they get dinged.
