That is fantastic news, my primary gripe with the 700 is that the NC doesn't work in wired mode. Doubtful if they will change that though. Any source on removing voice assistant?

The chart comparing it to the 700 indicates the lack of voice assistant on the QC45. The PDF instruction manual states:

"You can use the headphones powered on or off when the the audio cable is connected."

I'm hopeful this all means what I want it to mean.

Thanks, really hopeful. Not clear if powered on means NC, because that would be very good. I'd use my old QC25 cable with the mic in that case.
