QC 35 I & II

Post Body

Hi,

Do Amazon and Google have access to the microphone in my headphones even if I don't have alexa/Google assistant set up?

I deliberately do not have Amazon or Google home devices so they aren't listening to me all the time. Is there any way for them to access to what I say on my headphones if I don't hook them up and keep the action button set to noise cancelation?

I have a pair of qc35i that I love but needed a second pair for work. The only difference here is that f'ing voice assistant.

Is there a reason to be worried?

Thanks.
