I guess I'm the only one who thinks the black looks luxurious and classy while the silver looks cheap and tacky lol

No...you're not the only one .

Haha, yeah I'm like that with my camera gear. When I'm out with the non pro gear I almost want to wear a T-shirt with a statement that I own better equipment. I am a gear snob lol.

I also need to get black trainers now, as the black headphones don't match my daily ones anymore.

I would have agreed with you if I was just going by the photos, but in the flesh I thought the silver ones ooozed class. The black ones look ok until they get covered in finger prints IMO. It's not so much the black colour for me, it's the flat look of them I don't like.
I with Bose had kept the black/blue colour scheme of the Soundlinks though. I love that look.

I did read that Bose are bringing out other colours for the QC35, although that no use to us who already have them I guess.

In a related topic, I see Bose has delayed the restocking of the SoundSport wireless headphones. There were issues with sweat and water resistance and they said they were going to address it. Their website shows 5-6 weeks for availability. And all the Target's in my area have had no stock for weeks.
 
I really want to see/try the QC30 wireless coming in a few weeks (I hope)

 

[Dave Pearce]

Yes, the flagship Bose store here in London was also out of the SoundSports when I was in there earlier this week.

I sent my Bose Sound Sport wireless in under warranty. They contacted me to let me know it would be 6 weeks to get my new pair as they were correcting the problem for all future production. For my trouble, they offered and sent a pair of Sound Sport wired in ears to use while I waited for the return and to keep. That is serious customer service.

I've always been a black equipment chap but am loving the silver. They are. Flashy but I recently picked up this old camera... It's nice. To have a change. The silver model looks very lux in the hand and not tacky at all. Perhaps they look tacky on

Silver can look classy too

Do the QC35s have a 'quick charge' mode like the other Soundlink models? The manual is silent on this point however for the Soundlink, the AE model in particular, the manual states "A 15-minute partial charge will power the headphones for 2 hours."
 
The battery is non-changable so I am keen to look after it, without being pedantic about it.

I don think it's a 'mode' as such, it's just the nature of the low drain battery system.

 

[ShivaYash]

OK so I can just charge and use as I wish OR is it considered better (for longer battery life) that I fully charge and then discharge till the RED light, versus just charging all the time. Its a Li-ion battery right, so in theory it should be OK for quite some time.

 

[Dave Pearce]

Yep, that's how I look on it. I believe it's not advisable to run Li-ion battery right down too often, that was something we did with the old Ni-cads, but I myself like to go down to about 10% before charging up again, unless I'm going to be away for a day or two.
For me a full charge lasts well over a week of use anyway so charging isn't something I worry about.

Haha - "this old camera". Super awesome, man!! Nothing like a Leica.
