Recently I bought Bose QC35, and they are super, however, I'm going through a bit of trouble setting them up on my Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.
With the help of several AskUbuntu answers, I managed to connect the headphones to the PC, but one thing that I din't manage to find is how to make use of the headphones' mic when on call. Currently the internal mic, which is really bad, is used, and when I try to change it in sound input settings I hear an annoying squeaky noise, and the sound output changes from High Fidelity Playback mode to Headset Head Unit. It is unbearable to have headphones on my head for 30s because of this squeaky noise, so I am looking for a solution to still use headset's mic while not loosing my ears.
