I never had an issue with battery life. I find them very comfortable.

Seconded on comfort and battery life, but the huge factor for me is the dial noise-cancellation. I work in a busy office and the ability to dial it up to ten when I am focusing and down to 0 when I am asked a question by a coworker is huge. I got these last prime day for about $200, for the open-box option its a definitely solid buy.
Good find OP! Thank you for posting! 😁
My first thought is not directly because I think the default voice assistant cannot be changed on iPhone. However, there is a common workaround I think would work in general. You can set a phrase that opens the Google assistant through Siri. Then, tap and hold on the headphones, say the Google wake phrase, and proceed with your request.

From several links on quick Google search, it seems like Siri is supported. Maybe it defaults to Cortana if you have Cortana downloaded? Try uninstalling Cortana if you have that on your phone to default to Siri.

I don't want to delete the Cortana app, because that's what controls the EQ, which is really needed if you want a neutral sound. Possibly the Gen 2 model supports native Siri much better than this one.

I control my EQ on Surface Headphones 2 through the new Surface Audio app, which I believe also support the first generation headphones. You can also control EQ on a Windows 10 Surface Audio app on desktop. Using this may allow you to uninstall Cortana to default to Siri.

So, I can press with one finger on the surface (ha!) of either ear cup, and can ask Siri questions, picked up by the headphone mic. I cannot figure out how to get them to listen for "hey Siri". I thought that was only a feature of AirPods with the H1 chip.

I have my SH2 on Android and also cannot get the "Hey Google" to work, but I don't think I'd use it anyways cuz I don't wanna annoy my peers.
I am getting the 20 hours as advertised with the second generation with full noise cancelling half the time and high quality audio on.
In my limited use of the SH1, battery life seemed to be between 13 and 18 hrs with those settings.
