I have tried the Bose, Sony, and Microsoft and I feel that Microsoft has the best interface but the worst sound. It's very muddy at the lows and mids making it almost unusuable for decent listening.

I'm interested in these at this price but from what I can tell it's still not possible to disable the always listening Cortana on these. Does anyone know if that's the case?

you cannot diable cortana, i used these recently on a few flights and while comfortable their noise cancellation isn't close to how good my Bose are.
I think the sound is about the same between the three, the QC25's probably had the best noise-canceling, but on a scale of 1-10 and those being a 10, these are about a 9. The Plantronics was probably an 8.
I can't tell the difference in the audio quality, and the big thing for me was the pairing. It automatically paired to my Surface 3, Surface Book 2, iPhone and Desktop. No trouble at all.
At first the touchpad was weird and sometime I would switch connections, but after checking and applying the firmware update they have been spotless.
I see posts about cortana, I never use it, so I'm not sure if it's disabled or what. The command for it is a long press on the pad, so it's rare that you would accidently call her up. I've never done it on accident.
Considering how cheap the QC35's are these days -- it's worth spending an extra $50 for one of those. More comfortable, better sound quality, better noise cancellation. Micro USB sucks, but let's not pretend that all your devices are Type C just yet.

But I returned it after 2 hours of usage because it was not comfortable; i own about 6 pairs of cans
I think you need to wear them in person to see that it fits your head.
I like these the best.
