Oh the sound, the sound, the sound! My ears are completely bound. Noise Cancellation earned my admiration. The front right atoll provides responsive control. They won’t fall off your face so don’t expect to be blown away by bass. The charge time is a lie and only Bose knows why. You won’t be sad even the pads feel rad. Motivate your rows with these Bose

I recently purchased the Bose Headphones 700 Wireless Noise Cancelling Over-the-Ear Headphones in Triple Black, and I must say, I am absolutely blown away by their performance! These headphones have exceeded all my expectations and more. First and foremost, let's talk about the noise cancelling feature. It is truly unparalleled. Whether I'm on a noisy airplane, working in a bustling coffee shop, or simply trying to unwind at home, the active noise cancellation on these headphones does an exceptional job of blocking out unwanted external sounds. It creates a serene and immersive audio experience, allowing me to focus on the music or podcast I'm listening to without any distractions. The sound quality is where the Bose Headphones 700 truly shine. The audio is crystal clear and well-balanced across the entire frequency range. The bass is deep and impactful, while the midrange and treble are detailed and precise. It's a joy to listen to all genres of music with these headphones, as they bring out the nuances and intricacies of each track. Comfort is another area where Bose has nailed it. The earcups are plush and soft, providing a comfortable fit even during extended listening sessions. The adjustable headband ensures a secure and personalized fit for any head size. I appreciate the lightweight design, which makes wearing these headphones for hours on end a breeze. The build quality is exceptional, as expected from Bose. The headphones feel sturdy and well-made, with a sleek and modern design. The touch controls on the right earcup are intuitive and responsive, allowing me to control playback, adjust volume, and activate voice assistants with ease. In terms of connectivity, the Bluetooth pairing process was seamless and hassle-free. The wireless range is impressive, and I experienced no dropouts or connectivity issues during my usage. The built-in microphone provides clear voice quality during calls, and the noise-rejecting technology effectively eliminates background noise, making conversations crisp and clear. Lastly, the battery life on these headphones is fantastic. Bose claims up to 20 hours of wireless playback on a single charge, and in my experience, they have delivered on that promise. The fast charging feature is a game-changer too, providing several hours of playback with just a quick 15-minute charge. To sum it up, the Bose Headphones 700 Wireless Noise Cancelling Over-the-Ear Headphones in Triple Black are an outstanding investment for any audiophile or frequent traveler. The noise cancellation, sound quality, comfort, and overall performance are second to none. Bose has once again set the bar high in the world of headphones. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone seeking an immersive and premium audio experience. This review is based on my personal experience and opinion after using the Bose Headphones 700 for an extended period of time.

I am in love with my new Bose Headphones and its performance can easily defeat every other headphones available in the market. These are comfortable and superior noise cancellation with exceptionally good quality of sound, I can easily catch every small detail of my songs. Design of these headphones is stylish and comfortable even after wearing hours it doesn’t hurt. 1. Adjustable Noise Cancellation Feature – Its next generation noise cancellation and undoubtedly stronger than any other headphones. Once music is playing you hardly hear any other noise. I think even more impressive than the maximum noise cancellation mode is “level 0” of noise cancellation. This makes it great to hold a conversation without taking your headphones off. 2. Easy Swipe Gestures for Play, Pause, Stop, accept and reject Calls – In the start was thinking how and where I can control but when I connected to Bose app, I felt really surprise of its Swipe gestures which is like cherry on top. 3. Stylish Curvy Design – Pretty comfortable design and light headphones, sometime I completely forgot that I am wearing these 4. Easy setup – This is an important step as when you connect with Bose Music App then only you will understand these headphones completely 5. Last but not least Amazing Sound – catch every single detail of the music which you can hardly notice in other headphones.

Super comfy headset, i tried out 3 prior to this and this beats them all hands down. (Some were actually Beats lol) the sound is pretty great, the adjusting of the headset, and turning of the headphones to put the headset around your neck is amazing. I think this headset is absolutely amazing, however. The case is meh, and the app is a heaping pile of fertilizer. The app is the only reason for 4 stars, that being said it is still worth it, and make sure to ONLY download "Bose Music" not the one inside the box tells you to. (The apps dont connect to eachother well, and the app in the manual tells you to downlad "Bose Music" anyway, so i am saving you a step, and connectivity issues. Trust me, it will save you a lot of stress.

I've been using the Bose Headphones 700 and they're simply the best. Their sleek design is matched by durable quality and intuitive touch controls, making them not just headphones but a style statement. The sound quality is unmatched, providing crisp, balanced audio across all genres with an immersive soundstage. The noise cancellation is exceptional, offering tranquility in noisy environments with 11 levels of ANC. They're incredibly comfortable for long wear, thanks to plush earcups and even weight distribution. The battery life, offering up to 20 hours, is more than adequate for daily use, complemented by a quick-charge feature. The integration of voice assistants and the Bose Music App adds a layer of convenience and customization, making them a smart addition to my tech arsenal. In short, the Bose 700s excel in every category, from sound to comfort to functionality. They represent a premium investment in my listening experience, and they've been absolutely worth it.

Bose does make some of the Great Noise Cancelling Headphones and this pair is in that category. Google assist is a very nice feature. Noise cancellation can be turned from 0-10 Side swipe Feature on the right outer headphone Up and Down for Volume. Swipe Forward to fast forward and Swipe Back to Play back. Tap the right outer headphone to Play, Pause or answer a call. Must get Bose Music App to connect. These are Very light Weight lots of foam on the ear cups and the Halo over your head. I really like there are not a lot of buttons on this to get confused with by hitting the wrong one. There are just 2 on the right ear cups and 1 on the Left ear cup. Love that the indicator voice will tell you how many hours are left on your battery instead of giving you a battery percentage. So now you know if you have a flight you know how many hours it will last you. Charging time is good but the charging cable is not long at all. The noise canceling is awesome you really can't hear anything but what your playing. I own 4 other headphones all different brands and these are now my favorite one's to own.

Absolutely worth every hard earned penny as it has literally saved my sanity and possibly my life. Do I exaggerat? I feel they have superior sound in every way in my humble opinion after trying various other major and minor competitors....creations. A for Effort? But then, I'm a sound connoisseur. I can take it. Call me a snob, or whatever the kids are using now-a-days. Takes me to a whole other level in my listening game. On extra hard days when my ADHD is kicking something fierce, even that whole mess is soothed by the quality of frequency and sound....or lack there of. The sound canceling feature is my absolute favorite feature with three levels of control on the side of the earcuff; and in their app. That and it's customization features offered in a smartphone app; offered for no additional fees or costs (Thank you) has again, I feel, improved my over all life. Bose let's me isololate or rock it the ffffffffwwwwwerk out.....heh. (insert rock hands here) Although I never could understand why the app needed location permissions just to use. Bose, please explain! Why is this so important and why am I unable to oup out or turn it off in your app? Overall the app is.... meh? Nothing fancy. Does what you'd expect and not a bit more. (Insert scratching chin emoji here). Yes I did just type that....on a mobile phone.....wilst enjoying a hyper focusing moment 'cause (fists held hight emoji +long pressed) "Ghoshdarm it autocorrect!!* You better appreciate those Bose. (Winking weirdo face emoji)

Upon opening the shipping packaging on these headphones, I was blown away by the sleek box and case the headphones came in. Once I got the headphones out of the box and case the feeling was so smooth and lightweight. I immediately put them on my head and over my ears and pressed the button to turn them on per the quick start guide. Downloading the app to use with these headphones was quick and so easy pairing all of my favorite other apps to use along with Bose. The only thing I wish the guide had was a little more instructions on how to use the headphones. I mean, yes, headphones are pretty self explanatory however I would have liked a little more explaination in the guide from the box. I decided to pair these with my Kindle and watch one of my new favorite shows and was so excited to hear the quality of these headphones compared to the earbuds I have used before. The earbuds, after long use have always made my ears feel bruised or dull pain after long use. These headphones don't hurt or feel tight at all. Pros- great case for traveling and storage, sleek and lightweight design, amazing sound quality, you can adjust the level of noise cancelling Cons- need more instructions inside the box I would buy these as a gift and recommended them to anyone to purchase, these are great!

I have purchased Bose noise canceling headphones for years, including the aviation headphones that Bose developed for pilots. When it comes to noise canceling headphones Bose is definitely the brand to go to and the Bose Noise Canceling Headphones 700 take both the comfort and noise cancellation to another level. Even if you have a slightly older version of their noise cancellation headphones I'd recommend an upgrade. The audio quality is also really good and it was nice to see that the headphones are charged with USB-C, an improved USB connector that is becoming more and more common with devices. The iOS app worked flawlessly and I was able to pair my headphones easily to my iPhone and iPad. Within the app you can change the level of noise cancellation you want although some airlines won't let you use Bluetooth so set the level before boarding. The carry case has been improved also with a really nice compartment for the power cable and headphone audio cable.

The inside of the headband of the headphones is smooth and super soft, making for a very positive listening experience when using long-term. The ear cushions are amazingly comfortable, and the length of the headband is very easy to adjust. The rock/alternative music has an amazing mix quality. It appears that there is almost a programmed ability or sensitivity for the headphones to decipher when the bass is the primary focus, as the mix changes to accentuate that layer of sound. The most interesting part, to me, is that I have been able to recognize more of the lyrics on some of the pop and rap songs that I used to test the headphones. The noise cancelling really excels when listening to music with very fast lyrics. The words are so much crisper and clearer. The only downside is that there is a small button (noise cancellation) on the left ear muff that seems fairly easy to hit. I think the location of this button could be reconsidered for the next model. Overall, these headphones are an amazing product. The attractiveness of the product matches the quality in the noise cancelling and the increase in the quality of music listening.

THANK YOU REVIEWCLUB FOR THE OPPURTUNITY!!

These Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones really do their job and then some! I am still learning all features they hold there are so many to choose from besides just giving you the most comfortable ear cradling fit and cancelling even super loud noises around you. I can use these with my Alexa and just be in my own little peaceful world or jam out to my favorite tunes and feel like I'm right there hearing the music live! I have been totally surprised at just how well they drown out loud sounds and transport you to a different place. Then you have a harsh reality when you take them off and hear the loud noises that were going on around you and know just how amazing they really do work! These were my first pair of Bose I have had and they are top notch! My only downside was that it didn't seem to have a power down button and seemed it just powers down by being idle after a few minutes. It isn't a big deal, just wanted to mention my only drawback. The cushions for the ears are all encompassing and were super comfortable to the point I almost forget I have them on after awhile.

I've always been a fan of Bose headphones, and my old wireless ones were starting to wear down after years of heavy use, so I decided to upgrade. The price is a bit steep but these headphones are premium. I purchased them before traveling, and was hoping for comfort and good noise cancelling, and I got my wish. As soon as I was able to get a good fit, it was easy to forget I was even wearing them. The circumaural ear cups fit nicely and the cushioning is very soft. I didn't feel any of the pressure around my ears that I've felt on other models. Battery life is stellar. I rarely have to charge these headphones and can go about my day without worrying about a dead battery. The noise cancelling is quite good, but not jaw-dropping. I don't mind having a bit of background noise, so it's not a huge issue for me, but someone who enjoys absolute silence may want to test them before they buy. The software for the Bose headphones is pretty great. The headphones can connect to multiple devices at the same time, so I can play a game on my tablet and listen to music on my phone if I so desire. Sound options are easy to adjust in-app as well. Overall I am happy with these headphones and don't have any major gripes.

I have owned Bose over the ear wired noise cancelling since 2006 but as everything has moved to wireless I decided to upgrade to the 700 series. Noise cancelling is superb but the freedom of wireless, the touch sensitive controls on side, recharge ability and 14 - 16 hour battery life plus just how well they pair is amazing. Cups are comfortable, headband comfortable. Honestly, nothing to complain about. Use them daily for work for video conferencing and also paired to phone to receive calls. Excellent sound quality for music as well.

I've had these headphones for over a month. For the price tag, I was expecting excellence, in which I got close to. COMFORT. Let me start by saying they are very comfortable. I've worn dozens of cans, and these are one of my favorite to wear. Not too much pressure on my head and the cushions are super soft. Definitely on my top 5 most comfortable headphones. ALEXA. This was a huge deciding factor for me. I have a smart home, so I love the interactivity I can maintain with it even when I'm away. And might I add, it works great! I've had headphones/earbuds that worked with Siri, but they never worked as I wished. These however, work flawlessly. I wasn't expecting much, so I was pleasantly surprised. You don't even need the Alexa app open! SOUND QUALITY. After all, that's the whole purpose of headphones. As expected from a Bose product, it sounds great. Not too much bass. Clear voices. People I've called say I sound nice and clear. I do wish they went a tad louder though. Their max volume leaves something to be desired. CARRYING CASE. The included case is nice-ish. There is an included small compartment inside to store wires with a weak magnet to keep it closed, and it's not very big. The case also feels a bit soft. I'd trust it to be dropped, but not sat on. BATTERY LIFE. I know people complained about battery life. I found no issue with it. Never did I run out of juice throughout the day. I guess when you compare it to its competitions, the longevity of the power could be better. I personally don't care. I charge it at night, lasts me the whole following day. NOISE CANCELLATION. Here is where it shines. Noise cancellation works great! I love the feature in which you can decide the level of nose cancellation. It's a range from 1-10. I find that 5-6 works for most days. When it's real noisy, I crank it to 10. Also, you can preset 3 different levels to a button on the right can (done through the app), which is pretty dang convenient. APP. The Bose app is meh. It's not good, not bad. Not the best app, not the worst. I did have a few instances where it did not connect to the headphones. A quick power off/on fixed that. You can adjust the sound quality, noise cancellation level, etc. To be honest, I've only opened the app about 4 times since purchasing the headphones. There was just no need to. PROBLEMS. No headphones are perfect. these aren no exception. My biggest complaint is I wish they folded. God I wish they folded. I understand Bose's goal was to make them more durable with a strong headband... but gees I wish they folded. It would have been easier to throw in my backpack. Also, the "cans" part rotate up when around the neck. They do that so you can use them as personal portable speakers. I would have rather lost that feature, and had them rotate down for protection. OVER ALL. For the greater part, I'm very happy with these. They are my go-to headphones. They sound great, feel even better, and I'll never feel lonely with Alexa at my ear. Aside from not folding and the cups rotating to the sky, they are close to perfect so far. SO FAR.

Bose went back to the drawing board for its latest headphones, and that decision was a success. The 700 has better noise-cancellation thanks to customization, and thankfully, it looks much better than the company's previous models. Touch controls are reliable and the battery life is adequate to keep the music going for as long as you'll need. There's a lot to like here, but for $399, these needed to be perfect to dethrone Sony. That said, Sony needs to nail any future version of the WH-1000X to keep Bose from retaking the crown. The gap isn't as wide as it was a few months ago.

I was torn between these headphones and the much lauded Sony WH-1000XM3 as my first pair of good ANC headphones. I mainly listen to classical, and wanted a good pair of wireless headphones primarily for use at home while working in my office during the day. Here were my observations and other factors that drove my decision: 1) Sound quality – it's hard to make this comparison, because they have different test tracks playing through the in-store display models. As a side note, I was pleased that I was able to pair the Sonys to my iPhone, giving me the opportunity to hear how my own music sounds through them, while the Bose had the pairing button disabled. Still, I could tell that both of them were capable of producing great sound, I just wish Bose would have let me pair the display unit to my phone. I'm happy with how the Bose 700s sound. I must admit, as a non-audiophile listener, I do generally fall into the "I want more bass!" category, even with the classical music I listen to. But the more pieces I listen to, I've come to recognize that the bass is definitely there, it's just very well-balanced and controlled as opposed to jumping out at me, which I have to acknowledge is a good thing. 2) Noise reduction – the Sonys seemed maybe slightly better for the type of noise that was going on in the store, but it was close. Initially I didn't put this feature high up on my priority list, since I won't be using them much while traveling or in other noisy environments, but after having the Bose 700s for several days, I've come to appreciate having it, as it enables me to better hear the more delicate and quiet passages of pieces without the murmur of computer fans and other office noise intruding. 3) Build quality – the Bose 700s feel like a (reasonably) finely-made, high-quality product, while the Sonys felt relatively cheap, flimsy, and creaky. In particular, the widespread reports of the Sony headband being prone to cracking was a major factor in choosing the Bose, with it's much more solid feel. 4) Comfort – Both felt equally comfortable in-store. My ears do get a bit sweaty after a while of wearing, but I think that comes with the territory with these kinds of over-ear headphones. 5) Style – while the design might perhaps be polarizing to some, I personally think these are some of the nicest headphones I've ever seen. 6) Phone calls – this was a fairly important factor, as I want the ability to take calls while working without having to remove the headphones. Though I didn't have an opportunity to compare the two headphones on this, it's pretty much an established fact that the Sonys are awful for phone calls, while the Bose 700 excels. 7) Pairing – another important factor. I wanted to be able to easily switch between my iPhone, iPad, MacBook Pro, and iMac. This was almost a non-starter for the Sonys, as reports make it clear that in order to switch to a new device, you first have to manually disconnect from the device it's currently connected to (even if it's in another room). Bose is better in this regard, allowing any two devices to be connected (I usually keep my iPhone connected, and switch the second slot among the computers and iPad, which is done from the iPhone app), but apparently is still a step back from how the Bose QC-35 allows the user to simply push a button to cycle between numerous paired devices. 8) App – Sony clearly wins here. Inexplicably, Bose does not offer the ability to customize the sound with an EQ. I don't feel an urgent, pressing need to adjust the sound of these headphones, but I'd still like to have that option. Several professional reviews of the Bose 700 indicated that they were told this feature will be implemented in a future update, so hopefully that is accurate. Additionally, it's very annoying (and unnecessary) for Bose to force users to create and log in to a Bose account in the app just to control the headphones. In summary, I'm happy with this purchase, and hope Bose implements EQ as well as perhaps a way to switch between more devices from the headset itself (instead of having to go into the app).

So im very parcial to bose due to my love of there quality. However i got with my girlfriend that has the sony 500s and she also recommended me getting theses after trying them out at the store. Ive used them everyday sence buying them and they work great i would recommend anyone looking for some usefull headphones for the office, gym, or around the house defently check these out. They even have a internal mic that i use for meeting and phone calls. It works great and from the feedback ive heard you can hear some background noise from whats around you but when you speak its clear and over takes the noise. Hope this review helps you find the right head phones. Moreover, the battery life has been great it lasts about 18 hours of constant play usely i charge them every 3 days. The charging time takes about 2 hours i think. One down side that i have not found out is i think your not able to use them when its charging.

My first impression for these headphones were that they were quality. I had bought the QC35iis around the same time, but then the 700s went on sale for the same price so I decided to get them as well to compare. Immediately, I could tell the immense difference in build quality, look, and just overall user experience, with the 700s blowing the QC35iis out of the water. Even just the box and the initial set up sounds from turning on the headphones screamed luxury compared to the flimsy box the QCs came in. So if you're buying these headphones because you want to look and feel rich, these are the ones to get. But of course, most people are looking for function over form, so here is my personal comparison between the QC35iis and NC700s after intense daily testing for about a week. COMFORT: I'd have to say that the NC700s were pretty uncomfortable initially, while the QC35iis felt like little clouds on my ears. But after stretching out the NC700s (on the box or something bigger than your head), they became immensely comfortable and you end up forgetting they're on your head. The difference in comfort is only noticeable when comparing them side-by-side. If your only concern is comfort in headphones, I'd say go with the QC35iis, but the difference is really marginal. Winner: QC35iis SOUND: I am not an audiophile so I won't be able to speak in technical terms, but for the average headphone user, both the NC700s and QC35iis perform great. I couldn't really tell much of a difference between the two, but I read somewhere some "highs" came out a bit sharp on the NC700s and I think I noticed it a couple times but overall, not really. Winner: Tie NOISE CANCELLING: Both headphones' noise cancelling features work fantastically! I use it to block out noisy roommates, neighbors, or really loud background noise from industrial fans, air conditioning, streets, and it works wonders. For days I like to sleep in, these headphones really help me knock out. Haven't gotten a chance to try it out on an airplane yet, but I'm excited to be able to hear my music/podcasts over the loud droning. The noise cancelling features were really the selling point of the NC700s for me over the QC35iis. With the 700s you have the ability to adjust the noise cancelling to specific levels, and most impressively, there's a transparency mode which uses the headphone's mics to actively transmit outside noise so it sounds like you're not wearing headphones at all. One qualm I had with the QC35iis was that I didn't like having to take off the headphones to hear people and it was kinda weird to not be able to hear my own voice when talking, so transparency mode was a game-changer. It's also a nice feature when walking outside or when you're in a situation where you need to be more alert of your surroundings. Winner: NC700s CONNECTIVITY: I believe NC700s are using the newer Bluetooth 5.0, so I did notice the NC700s kept connection for further distances than the QC35iis, but there was not a huge difference (maybe like an extra foot or two). The QC35iis honestly had a lot of connectivity issues with my MacBook Pro, with it not being able to switch between FaceTime and other applications without me having to manually disconnect and reconnect it. The switching between my phone and laptop was not very seamless, and overall the process was very buggy, which was annoying considering these headphones cost $300. The NC700s on the other hand had a much more seamless experience. I never had an issue after hanging up FaceTime calls or with switching between applications. The switch between devices was a lot easier too. Of course, there are some drops from time to time still, but usually fixable. One thing to keep in mind is that you need internet to connect headphones to devices via the Bose Music app, so if you need to reset your headphones when you don't have connection (like on an airplane), you may be out of luck. It seems to be a rare occurrence and I haven't run into it yet. Unfortunately, Bose wireless headphones connectivity just isn't quite there yet, especially with the Apple ecosystem. Winner: NC700s CONTROLS: The touch controls on the NC700s work very well, but they take some getting used to. After you get acquainted with them, I personally would say I prefer them over the physical buttons on the QC35iis. It's quick and easy to tap or swipe and it definitely feels more modern. The tactile buttons on the NC700s feel nice and are very responsive, but as many other reviewers have mentioned, they are placed poorly, making it extremely easy to accidentally press them. After a couple days you get used to it though and learn to place your hands, so I haven't accidentally pressed the buttons in a while. Winner: Tie (depends on preference) PORTABILITY: QC35iis fold up, and the NC700s don't. That makes it a bit annoying, as the NC700s end up taking a larger footprint, and I don't feel that comfortable throwing them into my backpack without placing them in the case. Overall, I haven't found it to be that much of an issue though. Winner: QC35iis CALL QUALITY: This is honestly where the NC700s outshine every other headphone I've tried. As someone who takes a lot of calls, the experience with the NC700s makes the extra cost completely worth it. When using the microphone with the QC35iis there is a constant static noise that no longer exists with the NC700s! In addition, using transparency mode while on a phone call makes the entire experience a lot more comfortable as you can hear your own voice and it gets rid of any annoying sidetone. In a noisy room, the NC700s pick up my voice perfectly, and the people on the other side say they can barely ever hear any background noise. When I'm not talking, they said my microphone is dead silent. In comparison, when my roommates were in the room while I was on a call with the QC35iis, the person on the other end claimed they could hear them louder than me. Winner: NC700s (by a landslide) Overall: QC35iis beat out NC700s in terms of comfort (marginally, both are very comfy) and portability. The NC700s come with a handful of new handy features, insanely good call quality, and an overall more premium feel and seamless experience. In my opinion, The QC35iis are probably a better value if you don't need to take phone calls, but the NC700s are definitely an upgrade, and if they're on sale they are 100% worth it.
