Google real-time translation comes to Bose QuietComfort 35 II and more

That's why you bought those noise-cancelling headphones, right? So you could talk to even more people?

I've been reviewing hardware and software, devising testing methodology and handed out buying advice for what seems like forever; I'm currently absorbed by computers and gaming hardware, but previously spent many years concentrating on cameras. I've also volunteered with a cat rescue for over 15 years doing adoptions, designing marketing materials, managing volunteers and, of course, photographing cats.

Google Assistant's real-time translation's been limited to Google's Pixel Buds headphones since they launched a year ago. No longer. 

Google has rolled out support to any headphones with Google Assistant access built in, such as the Bose QuietComfort 35 II and the Sony WH-1000XM2

Just pair the headphones with a phone that supports Google Assistant and the latest version of the Google app. And voila! You'll be multilingual mingling in no time.
