Received these Saturday from Bose after I pre-ordered them when they were announced.I am thoroughly impressed so far.Packaging is simplistic and straight to the point with two peel back tabs that let you inside. From there, you will see the NCH 700's case which was smaller than I thought because they don't fold up like the QC35II's. The case fits in my work bag just fine. However, I do have say it's not as small overall as the QC35II's case. The NCH 700 case has a little magnetic flap inside that stores the audio and USB-C cable. No airplane adapter. Thank you Bose for going USB-C with the NCH 700's. What's left is manuals and warranty cards.The feel of the NCH 700's is nice.It's a streamlined design that grew on me and looks very modern. Weight is slightly more than the QC35II's. Build quality is significantly superior with more metals being used and most importantly, the comfort is similar. I would maybe give the slight edge to the QC35II in comfort due to the lower weight, but the NCH 700's is still a very comfortable headphone. The headband adjustment is smooth and should accommodate a wide variety of head sizes just fine. Ear-cup openings is similar to the QC35II with the left and right labels inside the ear cups for easy notation on how to put the headphones on.Controls are great and I can say the touch controls are very responsive and intuitive. Swipe up for volume increase. Swipe down for volume decrease. Swipe forward for the next track. Swipe backward for the previous track. Double tap to play and pause. Tap once to accept and incoming call. Tap and hold to reject the call. Tap and hold to go to a shortcut predefined in the app. The current shortcut available was to have the voice prompt alert you of the current battery life in which she tells you the estimated time until the battery is dead. There's 3 dedicated buttons on the NCH 700's. The two on the right is responsible for Power on/Bluetooth pairing and voice assistance/mute mic. The one on the left is to cycle between the 3 preset noice cancelling modes defined with the app. The right earpiece houses the USB-C port and the left earpiece houses the audio input port.The app provides a lot of functionality control. You can on the fly scroll though the noise cancelling/ambient modes from 0-10. 0 being like having no headphones on at all and 10 being in your own little acoustical chamber. You can launch Bose AR apps and experience augmented reality with he NCH 700's. Pretty cool. You can select the sources that are connected and add a new source or remove an existing source. The NCH 700 can connect to up to 2 devices at once. You can set your voice assistant between Siri, Google Assistant or Alexa. You can set how much of your voice is heard during phone calls or voice assistant interaction. If you're familiar with the QC35II's Bose Connect app, it's pretty much similar settings you can control.Sound on the NCH 700's is clean, open and balanced. No frequency really stands out so you get an accurate representation of your music. I would say they sound similar to the QC35II but with a tighter bass. The Sony WH1000Xm3 has this false stigma that they sound superior to the QC35II but that's because the Sony's accentuate the bass frequencies which to the untrained ear is more exciting and pleasing. This is not a better sound, it's a different sound that is not accurate to the source material. The Bose sounds more accurate, more like being in the studio. A flat sound will not sound exciting to everyone especially those with untrained ears. Sound is subjective overall so you can't go wrong with what you enjoy listening to. I really enjoy the NCH 700's sound. It's a smooth and clear sound that plays well with all genres. If you want a lot of bass, look elsewhere towards the Sony's.Noise cancelling is insanely good on the NCH 700's. Probably the best I've experience, but honestly, the Sony WH1000Xm3 set the bar so high in terms of noise cancellation that the NCH 700 doesn't really wow me. I think they are about as equally good, but the NCH 700 takes the cake because I don't get those distortion artifacts when the ANC pressure within the ear cups is disrupted from sudden vibrations to the headphones that plagues the Sony WH1000XM3. For example this is caused by being on a bus while on a bumpy road or running with your headphones on. The ambient mode is very natural feeling on the NCH 700 and it's great being able to have awareness while listening to audio in situations where you don't want to blocked completely from the world. Wish it had the Sony's right hand palm over the ear cup feature where it seamlessly kicks in ambient sound and lowers the music volume so you can quickly hear someone or something and then once your hand leaves the right ear cup, everything reverts back to normal.The mains reason the new NCH 700's are the new ANC headphone kings is the voice mic quality on calls and interacting with your voice assistant. It's amazing how clear your voice is projected onto the other line while using the NCH 700. These are killer for conference calls even if you dare take them in the middle of Times Square, NYC.Overall, the NCH 700 is a welcome evolution to the Bose headphone line up and I'm sure these will win the hearts of many. Highly recommended!

For years now I have been dependent on noice canceling headphones. I use them for hours every single day to block out the world and to remain concentrated on and connected to my digital life. I am happy to report that the new Bose Noise Canceling 700 Headphones allow me to do this better than ever before! They may not be for everyone though. Here is both the good and the bad of my experience with the headphones so far.SOUNDThe sound on the Bose NC 700 is absolutely fantastic. Music is rich, deep and very detailed. The lows are punchy and tight. The highs sing with a very nice openness and never sound harsh. The mids, such as vocals, are very present and never sound too tiny.Neither are the mids overdone to sound muddy or overly rich. The headphones have a nice spacious soundstage with great imaging. Every instrument is heard in their proper place on a virtual stage in the soundscape. In my opinion, they sound slightly more transparent and dynamic than my previous generations of Bose QC headphones, and they are definitely more accurate sounding than other brands I have tried. If there is a downside to the sound, it is that the bass volume does not increase with the rest of the frequency ranges, when you get to those ungodly high volumes. Though for me this is not a problem since my normal listening volume is comfortably moderate and never greater than 80%.COMFORTThe headphones are super comfortable. I have no annoying pressure point from the headband on the top of my head. The memory foam ear pads feel very soft with ample room inside the ear cups. In fact, my largish ears do not touch any part of the headphone which is absolutely great. My first impression was that the clamping force was slightly greater than my older Bose and that they were slightly more warm to wear. This may be true, but I never noticed it again after the first couple days of use. I still can wear the 700 all day and every day with very little discomfort.CALLSMany reviewers I’ve read praise the call quality of the Bose NC 700 headphones. Unfortunately, I have not been on the receiving end of a call to actually hear what the audio quality sounds like. All I can tell you is that I have really enjoyed using the headphones as the caller. They just work and they work great. Over time I have noticed some fantastic nuances.First, I can hear my own voice! The Bose pump in the sound of my own voice so that I can hear it naturally. This is so helpful in that it keeps me from thinking I need to yell while wearing headphones. Not only can I hear my own voice, but my voice is isolated from other noises. There is some sort of magic going on where Bose knows how to keep my voice crystal clear while blocking out the ambient noises for both me and the person on the other end of the line.Finally, the headphones switch seamlessly between devices. For example, they automatically switch between my phone and computer as needed. I can be listening to music on my computer when a call comes in on my phone. The headphones recognize the call and automatically switch to it when I answer. As soon as I hang up the phone, the headphones switch back to my computer and automatically begin playing music again. Very great!OTHERThere is so much more to say about the Bose NC 700 Headphones. I have really enjoyed the ambiance mode that allows me to temporarily decrease the noice canceling to hear the outside world. Speaking of noice canceling, they do a fantastic job. I agree with other reviewers who say that the noice canceling is slightly better than previous generations. Siri works well for me through the headphones with very little lag time. The buttons (both physical and touch) are there when I need them and seem to disappear into the design when I do not. I did suffer from accidental presses during the first couple of days of use but have not had that problem in the weeks following. Also, the accompanying Bose Music app has worked flawlessly for me. It allowed me to tweak the settings that I wanted to and I have not needed to use it since. It is great to know that the app is there to notify and instal new firmware updates when they become available.CONCLUSIONThe Bose Noise Canceling 700 Headphones are everything I hoped they would be and more. The more that I use them, the more I appreciate the thoughtfulness that went into the design and features. Many have declared these new Bose as the best noice canceling headphone on the market. Yet, for my needs, they are more than that. They are simply the best headphones I could ever want. Thank you Bose!

Evolution starts with innovation! I just started to spend time with the Bose 700 Noise Cancellation headphones. It’s a different device in style and function from the Quietcomfort series. The buttons set up is different. The way the headphones are adjusted on the head is a very big difference. If a person has a collection of Quietcomfort products like myself, it will be a new learning experience. Once I learned to adjust my headphones for fitting on the earcup (sliding it up or down), I could reach a comfortable fit. I’m seeing that others are not picking this up the same way. The adjustment is on the earcup rather than the headband. The headphones are very comfortable!Learning the new functionality such as the volume controls swipe and switching tracks as well as making a call required me to read the manual. Once I learned these new controls, I could engage conversation mode have a good experience on a call. Calls sound better on this device and Bluetooth 5 is more in line with the IPhone XR model. The volume control on the right earcup is wonderful as well as changing tracks. The swipes work well. Using Siri and other assistants is fun and helpful. This is the most functional product I’ve used.I’d like to talk about the sound. The Quietcomfort series always offered the signature Bose sound with a great EQ that BOSE offers. I really like this EQ and I’m excited about the possibility of adjustment with the new software coming out for the 700. I am also excited about the Noise Masking, which the Bose Sleepbuds do very well. The sound that comes with the 700 is a step above the previous products and I noticed this immediately. The adjustable noise cancelling is great and is even more functional than the QC30 because the numbers help me guide better how much noise reduction I need. It is awesome to have the selectability like the QC30! The NC is also improved on the 700 and I really like it because it makes the sound better. I really love the sound in this unit and I know that others will too.I was happy with the call quality on this unit and think that the additional microphones help. The sound of the caller on the other side is significantly improved and I’m more likely to make calls on this device.The Bose Music App is a great app once I took time to get to know it. I think it will offer even more than the Bose Connect App in the future and I love the Bose Connect App, especially since I can listen to news! I love the picture of the headphones and the noise cancelling numbers. Connecting to the app will take a little time after ensuring that the headphones are updated on a computer using the Bose updater and then checking the Bluetooth the properly sync with the app. Once the unit is paired to the app and paired to the AR apps, there is a lot fun to be had.Lets talk about augmented reality by BOSE. This is my most favorite part of the evolution! One thing I noticed is that the AR works very well on the 700 model, with apps like Earplay. AR is constantly evolving and improving and the apps acknowledge this device better than ever before. I love Navisens and it helps me get around New York CIty , especially Hudson Yards. It differentiates BOSE from the others. I started using navigation with the BOSE Rondo and Alto and I loved it. The key here is leaving the phone in the pocket and learning to trust the AR.The bottom line is with any new device, one has to have patience and an open mind. I have read others experiences and they haven’t truly tapped into what can be done here. The other competitors cannot offer an experience quite like this one. There is so much that the 700 will offer and we’ve only started with the tip of the iceberg here. Looking at the Pear app, I am looking forward to working out with the Bose in ear products when they arrive. The 700 has piqued my interest a lot and I can’t wait to see what it can do in the future. It’s a fun product to use and it represents the best of BOSE personal listening.

Another great product from Bose, though it does have some flaws.I am an owner of the QC25's, QC35's and QC35 Series 2, and recently received the 700's. Having extensive experience with the QuietComfort line of headphones, I was, and still am optimistic about these headphones, so here are my overall views of the headphones in general and my experiences (I have had them for about two weeks as of this review). To give you an idea of how often I use headphones in this class, I generally have them on between 4-7 hours a day while working and at home (I am a heavyish user) listening to audiobooks, music and podcasts.The unboxing and setup of the headphones are definitely top-notch in my experience,however having to download a separate Bose Music application to complete the setup was not ideal. The Bose Music application has been less than helpful in my experience, but I will mention that later.The audio quality on these headphones are definitely on-par with what I have experienced in the previous QC line of headphones, and the noise cancellation levels and favorites button to control the noise cancellation levels is a definite plus. The Google Assistant integration with Bose Music has been very buggy, and highly inconsistent. If you are planning to buy these headphones with Google Assistant in mind, you may want to wait until Bose resolves software issues related to the headphones disconnecting from Bose Music application (audio never disconnects in my experience, just the Bose applications to control the headphones.I have made multiple calls with these headphones, and people I call have definitely noticed a huge improvement in my voice quality when calling them. The headphones effectively limit background noise, and I am able to make calls in areas where major background noise is present with little impact to call quality to the person I am talking to. Being able to control the audio feedback of your voice in the headphones is exceptionally effective in making sure I don't talk really loudly for no good reason!The device no longer has a power switch, but the auto power off and motion detection to put the headphones in a power off state is nice. Being able to walk away from the headphones and pick them up again to resume play is nice. The gesture controls are a definite improvement and extremely intuitive. I find myself using them frequently and no longer having to open my phone to go back and fort in my audiobooks (A MASSIVE IMPROVEMENT IN QUALITY OF LIFE FOR ME AS A LISTENER!)Now for the problems observed:The battery life on these headphones is definitely less than the QC 35 series 2, by about 2-3 hours. While in practices this isn't an issue if you are using the headphones over the course of a few days, in the case of a long flight where you need more than 18 hours of noise cancellation, you may find your useful battery life is limited. I have discharged and recharged the headphones noticeably more than my QC 35 series 2 headphones. As mentioned before, the Bose Music application is not very stable at the moment (on Android version 10, on a Samsung Galaxy S10). The Bose Music application loses connection with the headphones every time it appears to be closed, or a Google Assistant interaction is completed. This does not impact calls, actively playing media, or the basic Bluetooth connection.Bose could have made a better decision on the headband. At first it was uncomfortable, and created additional pressure on my ears. I have a larger head, so I have to extend the headphones to their fullest length to fit my ears comfortably. The unibody headband design is not desirable, the Quiet Comfort line did better here in my opinion. Bose would do well to take that into consideration for future iterations of this line of headphones.I definitely would recommend these in general, but there are improvements that can definitely be made here.

SOUND AND NOISE CANCELLATIONNo surprise here: These headphones easily maintain the Bose reputation. They might be arguably the best, but they are inarguably extraordinary. These say they have active EQ, and I suspect that is true. Fidelity is maintained at low and high volumes, and the balance seems to change as volume increases and decreases. Bass is always present without drowning the higher notes. There was no audio lag or sync issues when watching video. Noise cancellation is very good. Even at the highest setting, you'll still hear non-droning, non-repetitive sounds but barely. I actually prefer that. No excuse is acceptable when you ignore your significant other!A button on the headphones can toggle through your three favorite settings. By default, these are 10, 5, and 0, but you can set your own in the smartphone app.THE BOSE MUSIC APP AND BLUETOOTH PAIRINGThe Bose Music app offers settings for the headphones along with a simple music player. There are no fine tone or equalizer controls in there, but you can manage Bluetooth sources and access all ten levels of noise cancellation. Initial setup went smoothly, and my iPhone and MacBook Pro easily made connections with little or no effort. However, the app has some problems in this area. On my phone, I can regularly open the app and have it clearly indicate that the headphones are not available. However, while I'm looking at this screen, music is playing from that iPhone through those headphones. Oops. The app makes me needlessly pair again to access the settings. Thankfully, the Bose Music app is hardly ever needed, so this will rarely present a problem when enjoying these headphones and your tunes.HARDWARE AND ACCESSORIESBuild quality is excellent. Uncommonly lightweight but confidently sturdy. These to not collapse for travel, and the carry case is a little on the large size, and just heavy enough to notice when you add it to your travel pack. The case has a small compartment for your audio and charging cables. It's not large enough for a charger which is not included with these headphones. The USB-C charging cable is terrific. No more challenges with charging port orientation using a magnifying glass. Line it up, plug it in. Done! Every cable should be this cable. I also used a quality third-party USB-C cable, and it worked like a charm. There's also a 3.5mm cable for when you need a wired connection to a device. One last very minor feature. Inside the ear cups are a large L and R. It's a little thing, but it makes orienting the headphones brain-dead simple.MUSIC CONTROLHere's where the headphones shine. They offer music controls with finger swipes on the right side cup. Swipe up and down for volume. Double tap to pause, and again to resume. Swipe back to restart the song, do I twice to go to previous tune. Swipe forward to get to the next tune. Tap and hold to get the battery level announcement. The convenience of this feature cannot be overstated. It's thoughtful and adds to the joy of these headphones.PHONE CALL PERFORMANCEConducting a phone call with these headphone offer a good experience. In a quiet setting, the experience was fine. Clear on both ends. In a crowded talk-filled room, the experience was tolerable. Background sounds competed for the headphone wearer's voice, but not any worse than if the headphones were not used. It's acceptable, which is better than most I have used.LONG-TERM COMFORTComfort remains excellent when wearing for extended periods. I wore these for over two hours without a single adjustment. I have always experienced the pressure on the crown of my head after about an hour with other good headphones (15 minutes with average ones). These headphones provide truly incredible comfort.RECOMMENDATIONIt's easy to recommend the Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700. The sound and quality are top-notch and worth the investment.

INTROI used the original QC35 for three years, and recently I have been using Bose’s new Noise Cancelling Headphones 700. I’m happy to say that it is another winner and is a noticeable upgrade. “Noise Cancelling Headphones 700” is a long name so I will simply refer to them as the NCH700 from here on.COMFORTThe NCH700 is just as comfortable as the QC35, with the exception that the earcups seem to get a little bit warmer. I have big ears and a big head yet still, it’s easy to wear them indefinitely. Not much else I need to say here.DESIGNVisually, I like the new design. It looks very modern and sleek, which is great to see from Bose, which has used a very similar headphone design for a long time.But unfortunately the sleek design comes at a cost of convenience. The sliders on the earcups are harder and slower to adjust than the more traditional size adjustment mechanism on the QC35. As stated earlier, I have a big head, so I need to extend the size of the NCH700 every time I use it, and the new mechanism makes it much slower to put them on my head after taking them out of the case, and much slower to shrink them down to return them to the case. The new mechanism also lacks a folding hinge, but this is not much of a concern to me, as the case remains fairly compact and its footprint is only marginally larger than the QC35’s case.The other large design change is the shift from physical buttons to touch controls. I disliked the new system at first but it grew on me. Adjusting volume and skipping through tracks is especially intuitive, although I still find the double-tap to play/pause to be a little awkward. To me it’s not much of a big deal anymore as I’ve gotten used to it. It’s not really a benefit or drawback.SOUNDUpon first listen, the NCH700 sounds nearly identical to the QC35 because their sound signatures are nearly identical. But with further listening, the NCH700 are noticeably better sounding than the QC35 in several areas. Bass is tighter and better controlled, and reaches the deepest sub-bass notes with no problem. Treble is better by a significant margin, with more detail and less “splashiness”. I’m not sure if this is because the NCH700 has a more detailed driver or if it’s because Bluetooth 5.0 streams higher fidelity audio. Without going into too much detail, imaging, soundstage, and dynamic range are also improved, which means the NCH700 sound much more lively. I always found that the QC35 sounds “sleepy” and that is no longer the case with the NCH700. I enjoy music much more on the NCH700.NOISE CANCELLATIONThis is the big one. The NCH700 features Bose’s “next generation” noise cancellation, and it is undoubtedly stronger than the QC35. The improvement is most noticeable in higher frequencies, but it is slightly improved across the board. The NCH700 still won’t cancel out speech and other sporadic sounds, but it does do a better job of suppressing them. Then once music is playing, the world is absolutely dead silent (in all but the craziest, noisiest environments when it’s barely possible to notice that the rest of the world still exists).I think even more impressive than the maximum noise cancellation mode is “level 0” of noise cancellation. The NCH700 uses its mics to pump in outside sound so naturally that it’s difficult to tell you’re wearing headphones at all. This makes it great to hold a conversation without needing to take off the headphones. CONCLUSIONI haven’t even mentioned the USB-C charging, two-device pairing, built-in voice assistant, and the many other little things that make the NCH700 so good. The NCH700 is easily one of the new greats in the wireless noise cancelling headphones market. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

I have been using the Bose NC700 for a month now, so I think I am qualified to give some feedback about it.First of all, I have to say that Bose has never let me down in terms of build quality. The package, carry case and the headphones itself just shout out ‘premium’. The carry case is made of PU/faux leather, which feels great to the touch yet durable. It has well thought-out design with hidden compartment which holds AUX and USB C charging cable. The AUX cable is similar to the one coming with the NC 700’s predecessors, with 3.5” and 2.5” connections, minus the in-line microphone because this time, the microphone is built-in the cups (I cannot tell if it is on the left or right, or both,because both of the cups are totally symmetrical). And the headphones with its metal cups are rock solid. Another thing I like about the NC700 comparing to its predecessors is that it is designed with glasses wearers in mind. My old QC25 and QC35 tend to press the frame into the sides of my head too much that it would hurt after prolonged usage. Surprisingly, the NC700 is so much more comfortable. Not only that, the noise cancellation is not affected by whether the user wears glasses or not, unlike with the QC25 and QC35. I used the NC700 on my 14-hour flight to Thailand in Economy class, and the noise did not bother me at all.Secondly, about the usage, it is fairly easy to a tech-savvy person like me. The Bose Music app which is recommended to install on your phone to help control the headphones also has instructions of how to use the headphones with the touch control. Basically, all touch control is on the right cup, with swiping up and down to increase or decrease volume, forward or backward to change to next or previous track, double tapping to pause/resume, and touching and holding to hear a prompt of how many hours of battery left (an impressive 19 hours on a full charge – tested on my long flight). The buttons are to change the level of noise cancellation, call up Siri/Google Assistant, and turn on/off. It only takes me a few minutes to familiarise myself to the usage, and it just became second nature from then on.All these years, I tend to think about noise cancellation when talking about Bose headphones. If you consider the QC25 and QC35 are good enough, you have not seen/heard enough! The QC700 is another level. The QC700 has 10 levels of noise cancellation, and the QC25 and QC35 are only equivalent to about level 5-6. Tuning to level 10, most of the noise are cancelled and you are immersed in your own music. I like the fact that the headphones intelligently filter wind noise as well. Previously, the QC25 and QC35 fail to do so, and it is rather uncomfortable listening to music when walking in the wind – not anymore with the QC700.With the noise cancellation, the NC700 will make a perfect commuting pair of headphones. However, for audiophile, you might not be satisfied. I find the bass not as punchy, the mid is a bit muddy, and clarity suffers a bit even with noise cancellation at level zero. Therefore, when I only want to listen to music in my study, I tend to go back to my old trusted Aurvana Live! headphones for a better sound quality.In summary, the Bose NC700 will make a perfect pair of headphones for commuting, or working. The sound quality is a 8 out of 10, but this is just personal preference, and I bet many people will find it pleasing to their ears. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

BOSE NOISE CANCELING HEADPHONES 700 When I think of Bose, I think of the words “noise-canceling” and clear, crisp sound. Bose Headphones 700 in triple black.I’ve been on several flights where I’ve seen people put on Bose headphones and seemingly disappear into another place. I’ve secretly wished for my own set of noise-canceling headphones so I could eliminate distractions around me and truly focus on a task or just simply relax, but I wasn’t sure if they lived up to the hype. I know Bose is synonymous with quality but are they really worth the buy.I’ve been using the Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700 for several days .BOSE HEADPHONES 700My first impression of the Bose Headphones 700 was that the packaging and design were on-point.The headphones look sleek and sophisticated and although the profile is a little bigger than what I’m used to, they aren’t overwhelming.MY LATEST VIDEOS!These headphones are fairly lightweight at 0.56 pounds and I can comfortably wear them for extended periods of time. This is great since you can get an impressive 20 hours of wireless battery life. The stainless-steel headband with angled earcups feel sturdy and provide a great fit. The headphones came with a little over 7 hours of battery lift before the first full charge so I was able to use them immediately.These headphones don’t fold, but the earpieces pivot flat. They come with a great case for storage and travel. Set up was a breeze. You will have to download the Bose Music app to get started but it only took about 15 seconds before I was up and running with these.Since the headphones are wireless and use Bluetooth connectivity I can easily get up and move about without having to worry about grabbing my phone to go along with me. According to the product specs, the maximum wireless range is 33 feet and I’d say that’s pretty accurate. When I’m moving about my house, I try to leave my phone in a central location so I’m never really close to going out of range.When I’m using the Bose Noise-Canceling Headphones 700 around my home, I’m usually taking calls or listening to audiobooks while cleaning. The sound quality of these headphones is pretty amazing. Voices sound crisp and since the headphones cover your entire ear it’s an immersive experience. As someone who is used to using earbuds or bone-conduction headphones, this is a huge difference.One thing that blew me away with the 700 headphones is the quality of phone calls. I could easily hear the person I was talking to and I’ve gotten several comments about how much better I sound. Even when I’m in a busy place with lots of extraneous noise, people can hear me clearly. This is all thanks to the adaptive, four-microphone system that automatically adapts to the environment around you to isolate your voice from competing noises.I usually only listen to music when I’m running, but once I got these headphones I decided to use them at the gym for weight training and spin sessions. Music sounds fantastic with these Bose headphones. My music sounded crystal clear and balanced. I love the ease of the earcup controls. Simply tapping or swiping on the front of the right earcup lets you navigate your playlist with ease. It’s so nice not to have to reach for my phone to do these things.The voice assistant is also fantastic and so convenient. . [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

While I did not think it was possible for Bose to improve on the design and features of the Quiet Comfort family, they managed to make significant advances. The minimalist design is both pleasing and well thought out, giving the headphones a high end feel and very comfortable to wear with controls that are easy to use; the one knock would be the power off function (more on that later). The right side has all of the touch controls integrated, honestly it did take a little fiddling around to get the exact placement down for each control but once you do it a few times the layout makes perfect sense and is easy to use and master. The overall sound is very immersive, crystal clear and true to the tracks.The noise cancellation is superb as expected; the app does give you the ability to tweak certain things to your personal preference which is nice because we all know one size doesn’t fit all. There is something I have always liked with Bose in particular is the implementation of Bluetooth, they have always and continue to exceed in this, the headphones are very easy to pair and have the ability to pair with multiple devices simultaneously; not many others that can do this and maintain a consistent connection without experiencing the annoying drops and reconnect. The reason I mention this is because I have tried several other big name competing headphones/earphones over the years and they always seem to have something quirky now and then with Bluetooth but I have never had a single issue with any Bose products, hats off to them for that because in my mind that sets them far apart in the market. The inclusion of Alexa, Siri & Google Assistant functions are nice to have and work very well. I was actually able to try all of them and did not encounter any issues with it pausing music and understanding the command request, never had to repeat the command and it executed flawlessly. Okay, now onto the only thing I am not crazy about but certainly not a deal killer; just something I need to use a few times to get the hang of. The headphones, from what I can tell, do not have a power off button per se’; there is a procedure you follow instead. I have researched online and from what I can tell, you press the “Bluetooth” button to turn them on and the same to turn off; however be careful. If you press and hold the button, as you would do with other headphones, you will actually erase the Bluetooth connections and have to re-pair them again (will take some getting used to as habit is to press and hold for power off). I have used the method above and it seems to work okay, just remember not to hold the button too long; there is also a “Auto Off” setting in the app but haven’t really used that as of yet. All in all, I would say the 700’s are an excellent buy and worth the upgrade from previous generations. I certainly have no real regrets as they are all around better sounding and the aesthetics are appealing, they are very sleek and streamlined and weigh nearly nothing; you can actually forget you are wearing them because they are very comfortable and fit great with butter soft ear cushions.

The Bose NC 700 headphones are a great product that matches the performance of Sony WH-1000XM2 headphones in sound quality and noise canceling. While the Sony has some important features like NC optimization on planes and a feature to decrease wind noise, the Bose headphones offer increased call microphone quality as well as a uniquely comfortable design. As an owner of Sony WH-1000XM2 headphones, I will be sure to compare throughout the review so you can make a good decision. Comfort and Build Quality: The NC 700 headphones are easily adjustable and feel great for long term use. With a cushioned headband and large earcups, the NC 700 headphones feel great to wear for long periods of time.I never felt the headphones causing pain on my ears after properly adjusting the headband. I have the black model, and I loved the nice feel of the metal. It made these headphones appear much higher-end than the QC35 or Sony headphones. The ear cups adjusted very smoothly, which was something I worried about with the new design. Additionally, the L and R printed inside the ear cups was a nice touch that helped me get oriented easily.Setup: These were a breeze to use! After initial issues resolved by a Bose update, I found the NC 700 headphones to be extremely easy to set up and control. I personally don’t like that an account is required to control the headphones, but other than that minor complaint I found the app to be very usable for these headphones and my other Bose products. Ease of Use: All features are easy to access with the app and/or buttons. After the initial setup, my headphones connected perfectly to my iPad and iPhone immediately when I turn the headphones on. The buttons make it easy to control digital assistants (e.g. Siri) or noise cancelling in one tap. I miss the quick transparency feature of the Sony headphones, but it is easily replicated with two taps on the left headphone buttons. The capacitative swipe pad on the right ear cup worked well for volume, media control, and battery information.Sound Quality: The NC 700 headphones provide good sound quality, but don’t quite match the vibrancy of the Sony headphones. The sound is very clear in all registers and the soundstage does not feel too closed. Note that these headphones use a smaller headphone jack cable and not 3.5mm! I personally have not used Bose AR due to the small number of experiences available, but may update this later.Noise Cancelling: These headphones provide effective noise cancellation and block out most low sounds and a good amount of high frequency sounds. When flying on a plane, I was able to use these headphones at half volume or less and still hear my movie perfectly. The cancelling does not have adaptive modes like the Sony headphones, which is a disadvantage when walking, but is not very important when on transportation. I felt minimal pressure on my ears when using these, but that may be due to prior experience using these headphones.Conclusion: These are great noise cancelling headphones, but the small improvements in comfort and noise cancellation may not be worth the extremely high price these headphones carry.

The Bose ‘700’ noise cancelling headphones seems to be the best thing that happened to me. I am in love with this headphone. My ears are not built for the regular simple in-ear headphones, they just slip out and I can forget about noise cancelling in it. So, I was in search of wireless headphones that are not heavy, and at the same time has noise cancelling option in it. They came in a sleek zippered hard case, with a magnetic flip pocket for the charger. Also, based on your comfort you can adjust the headband which is soft on the inside and won’t hurt your head or your hairstyle. The cups of headphones are very soft to touch and don’t irritate your skin. When I first picked them,I was like WOW they are super light than my current over the ear headphones. They are so sleek and best part is they have same charging port - Type C as my Android phone (One Plus 5). It was easy to figure out how to switch on the headphones and how to connect them to phone. All major controls are on the right side. The first button is for switching on to check battery status. The second button on the right side is to activate google assistant, I was able to know which application notifications has without checking my phone. Also, you can control volume (vertical swipe); toggle song, pause songs (horizontal swipe) by swiping on the right headphone. On the left side, we have the noise cancellation button. You can also set 3 different noise cancellation setting in your Bose Music app. This is helpful when you feel active noise cancellation isn’t enough and you need more.I have routine for me: morning - songs, afternoon – TV shows, night – podcast or audiobooks. I kept the headphones for charge at night and was used it since morning till I slept, guess what they never died on me. Truly feel they have more than 20 hours of charge. Next feature which I was eager to test was the noise cancelling, as I love Bose products for their sound clarity. The only thing which made me remove them from time to time was I felt slight pinch under my ear near lower jaw. I did take calls on the headphones, and again very easy to use and did feel there a second or so lag, which is expected due to Bluetooth connectivity.No wonder Bose didn’t disappoint me here too, these headphones just don’t have noise cancellation, they have active noise cancellation meaning that they will auto adjust noise cancellation based on your surrounding sound. This is such a boon since, when I am in gym, I don’t want to keep adjusting my headphones volume based on the surrounding music/noise. And I was able to listen songs at my regular volume at gym. I did sweat a lot and was worried if these will slip and they didn’t. This is the best feature, as I can listen to songs or podcast without hurting my ears anytime of the day.Overall, I loved these headphones – crystal clear clarity in calls and awesome noise cancellation. I would recommend these headphones to all my friends and family. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

I think the main issue with the 1 star reviews are the people who had the Q35 Quiet Comfort headset so they are comparing it with that model. This is NOT Q36; it's a different product that has similar functionality. Therefore we should really evaluate it by itself. I have three headsets, Bose Quiet Comfort 35 II, Sonywh-1000xm3, Bose 700. I would fairly say the Bose 700 fills the gap for all the features that was missing from Q35. It's a very very good headset, but with any new generation of product, you should expect bugs and fixes. I'm sure after few versions of firmware upgrade most of the bugs reporting it will be all addressed.The noise cancellation is easily 10-15% improvement from all other available products in the market and it works so beautifully.Device connection: Well, this part is definitely needing improvement; in the other model Q35, you could switch between device (which sucked from time to time btw -- but still was on the headset). With the new Bose 700, this feature is mainly through the app itself so if you don't have the app, you cannot do many of the functions.Sound quality: There are some fuzzy disconnection here and there or when you move too fast but I don't think it's the headset; i believe the firmware update would fix itConnection to Phone: They could have definitely made this easier and if you just want to listen to music, you don't really need the app but there is some problems with the app identifying the phone, even though it's connected through the bluetooth. This should also get fixed with firmware upgradeMicrophone: This is probably the biggest change; the Microphones on this headset is easily 30-40% noise reducing compared to other models/brands. Especially when you are in a noisy environment.Bugs: YES! The most annoying bug is that when you have multiple devices connected and one rings, the headset start switching randomly, and you just lose the main connection. For example, I'm on video call on my laptop and then my phone rings, the headset goes crazy and disconnects my video call voice, i hear my phone ring, and after phone stops ringing, i get connected back to video call. Very annoying but it seem to happen randomly and not all the time.Design: The design is just brilliant; very comforting and stays on your head. However, I noticed by ear gets hot more frequently than other models so I'm forced to take the headset off every 1-3 hours just to let my ears get some fresh airUSB-C: USB-C has been a great improvement especially with the time-to-charge. The battery announcement is off though; sometimes your headset is fully charged but it announces as having only 5hours! then you turn it off and turn back on few times and it says 20+. Anyway this seem to be a firmware update thing as well. I wish they could have updated these earlier.All in all, Even though I was very happy with my Q35 II headsets, I like this one more and so far I can live with the few flaws till it gets fixed through the update.

I bought these despite negative reviews and I would like to refute their claims and calm the nerves of potential buyers. This headset is good. Real good.The App (and "Connectivity"):You use it once and you're good. This is literally the least important part of the headset and rating it below 4 stars for this is so dramatic. I have encountered the issue described in other reviews once and it is resolved by a simple Bluetooth reconnect. If you're so outraged, consider blaming Android or the Bluetooth protocol, both of which historically have flaws. P.S. software is updatable.Price:Some people claim that other headsets are cheaper and a better "deal". That's cool. I don't care. I'm looking for the best product.In much the same way that clothes cost more for looking better and lasting longer, I will pay $100 more for superior design. For those of you deciding between buying this headset and feeding your kids, I recommend the latter. For everyone else, I recommend the Bose NC 700s.Sound:I'm not an audiophile, so I can't analyze the sound signature. Reviewers consider them "flatter" than other headsets and less bass heavy (sorry, Beats fans). I personally like it. I own a pair of Klipsch monitor speakers for my home setup because back in the day, I decided against Bose speakers, which I considered too equalized. They have since moved away from this to what I consider a flatter sound signature. I appreciate the new sound. For those that do not appreciate it, the app provides no native equalization. Most importantly for me, I buy noise cancelling headphones because although the sound isn't as good as studio monitors, quality has diminishing returns. Investing in noise cancellation is the trick to significantly boosting sound quality, and the noise cancellation on the Bose NC 700 is spectacular.Design:Hated them at first glance. Came to terms when I placed the order. Fell in love when I received them. Fashion is tricky and subjective. What isn't subjective is how the sleek, metal frame feels premium compared to the plastic competition. The concealed height adjustment mechanism makes the headset look custom made and clean. (Disclaimer: Despite being clean, the Apple Airpods design never grew on me. I had an urge to compare the two, as they both felt like a gimmicky step away from the norm. However, the Bose NC 700 design really puts comfort first, which should be a foundation for accessories. The Airpods were fashionable, while continuing to falling out of my ears. This poor understanding of consumer comfort is what made their fashion looked forced.)Comfort: Despite the metal frame, they are actually lighter than the Sony XM3s by 0.09 oz. They feel great.Usability: I was blown away by the button and swipe controls. I didn't think I needed any of that. Turns out I do.In conclusion, this product has 3 stars because a majority of reviewers are rating the mobile app. The headset, on the other hand, is a 5 star device.

Comes well packaged, inside you’ll find a very nice headphone case for a perfect fit for the Bose 700 Headphones. We already had our Bose 700 Soundbar setup on the Bose Music app so I assumed this was going to be a simple connection and setup however it was not. I don’t find the Bose Music app as user friendly as the Bose Connect app or the Sound-Touch app. Once I finally got the Bose 700 Headphones setup on the Bose Music app it was time to test the headphones. The headphones have both touch controls and physical control buttons, the buttons can be customized with the Bose Music app. I thought the intuitive controls (touch controls) on the right earcup would be hard to adjust to. Not by any means,
