Over the past few days, I noticed more sound getting through my QC35's at work. In the past, I couldn't hear all the plebeians chit-chatting around the office... but now I can hear their chatter. I thought they were just being louder than normal, but it looks like it could be something in the latest QC35 firmware.
My firmware updated automatically... you may want to turn that feature off in the bose connect app.
