QC35's have a hardware button on the side of the volume buttons that allow you to change ANC. Not sure which model you're using.

I have the first gen, not the model II’s. It doesn’t have the button on the left side.

Even worse, on my QC35 II's, the hardware button defaulted to Google Assistant on Android, and I had to use the app anyway to set it to modify ANC on press.

At least that’s just a one time setup process.

I'm a buffoon! I meant the QC30's - the in-ear ones. Sorry! It appears mk 2 of QC35 has physical ANC buttons, but the originals do not.
