Seems like the highlights over the QC25s are Bluetooth, recharging over USB with 20-hour battery life, and a built-in hidden mic. Retail is $349.
I just ordered a pair and will report back.
I'm not sure I'd be happy with rechargeable-only headphones. I'm not worried so much about the fact that they're rechargeable as that it's not possible for the consumer to replace the battery once it's exceeded it's maximum charge cycles.
It took me 9 years to wear out my QC2s, and I'm pretty sure the battery in the QC35s will be well past its useful life after a similar amount of time.
