This headset has good controls. When using Bluetooth, their controls are pretty much the same as the Bose QuietComfort 35 II/QC35 II Wireless 2018, with a couple of buttons on the headset that allows you to manage your music and calls. You can also remap the 'Action' button to add voice assistant support, like Amazon Alexa. You can also connect these headphones via wired USB using their PC Desktop controller, which offers a volume wheel, mic monitoring, mic mute, and ANC. There are voice prompts or beeps to let you know when you've registered most controls. If you're using mic monitoring, there are beeps to let you know which level you're at. It's easy to tell when the mic mute button is in effect too. Unfortunately, the control knob is infinite and has no max volume chime.

This headset isn't very portable as its frame takes up space in your bag. Luckily, it can fold up, and the ear cups can swivel to lay flat to help save some space. You can also detach the boom mic and use the headset wirelessly, which is good if you want to take it with you on the go.

The Bose QC 35 Series 2 has a similarly sturdy hard case as the Bose QuietComfort 35 II/QC35 II Wireless 2018. It's mostly made of leatherette with a soft fabric pouch on the backside. It has a zipper that ensures that the case stays closed. Overall, the case has enough room to store the headphones and cables, except for the PC Desktop Controller, which isn't meant for use on the go.
This headset is stable enough for gaming at your desk or your couch. If you tend to move your head around a lot while gaming, it can shift around your head. However, it's not meant for use during physical activity and will fall off your head with more intense movement.
