@@keshav.ghanate99 I have the Bose QC 35ii and like them but they do not look premium. They look boring and cheap. If you want premium look, the Bowers & Wilkins P7 and PX and Sennheiser Momentums look premium. Both which kill the Bose in looks and SQ. The Bose is so comfortable though so I use it for travel.
No highs no lows, it must be BOSE. Not being facetious, my AirPod Pros gave up the ghost so I decided to give the 700s a try. Everything about them is awesome EXCEPT the sound quality while playing music. The rolled-off bass and treble make every song I threw at these sound hollow and muddy. When the APPs worked, they sounded night and day better.
Does the touch work with gloves 🧤? Specially in the winter ? The qc35 has buttons which I really liked , what will happen in the winter when you are having gloves on ! Can you swipe on it !?
Thanks for the informative video, especially on the call quality side of things. I was debating to get these for trips and meeting on-the-go since Bose said took special attention to add the microphone array for phone calls. Your review answered all my questions, thank you!
Is there new bose700 successor??? My bose 700 usb gets broken. Like toasted whenever I try to charge it. USB C port gets way too hot and melts sorrounding Plastic.
Hi EBPMAN, great review, thank you! Would you be able to review the Surface Headphones 2 vs Bose NC 700s? In particular the noise cancelling, call quality and sound quality. Thanks.
Thanks for another excellent review. I’ve used them on four flights so far and I have no complaints. I’ve got two more international flights early and mid week and another on Friday night, so I’ll have the opportunity to use them on extended flights. I’ve also been on a conference call in Atlanta’s airport and people heard me clearly and thought I sounded like I was in a large hall, since any noise that they heard sounded very distant. I’ve also used them both with Bluetooth and wired connections and found no issues, same as you. I’m not noticing the wear on the headband, but I’ll keep a lookout for it. I’m also not noticing any wear inside my case. Like you I keep mine in my laptop backpack. I am making sure that I slide the cups all of the way back into the headband and I’m wondering if that’s why I’m not seeing the wear that you are. Thanks again for sharing your experiences🙏🏻🙏🏻
@@TheSpiritOfTheWest I am a radiography engineer specializing in systems for research and industry. I have clients everywhere it seems and I'm always booked for months out.
I have the 700's. when you play music a little above half volume, that's when you really don't hear anything. most reviewers forget that the noise-canceling alone won't completely take out all the sound. You have to play music or other audio for the best effect.
I bought the 700s from Best Buy yesterday morning. Played with them all day. This morning I returned them. The comfort of the 35s is far superior. The noise cancelling is marginally better on the 700s. The sound is about equal. You get less battery life on the 700s. The BIG negative, Bose has reduced the size of the ear cups and now my ears touch in side and they get hot. I hate the 700s. Bose has made a huge mistake moving away from the one thing which sets them apart from the competition. COMFORT. I am disappointed in Bose.
QGodofGods RulerOfAll its a little subjective bc even though they are less comfortable then the 35 they are still more comfortable then most other premium headphones
Hey dude i don't live in america but i wanted to ask you when you return them what did you say the customer service at best buy i'm interested cause where i live if you open them then you can't return them cause they are not salable anymore .
It's probably oil or dirt at the top of the headband, not "wear" marks. The clarity of the sound stage dwarfs the Sony 1000 XM4. The Sony sound stage SOUNDS larger, but it does so at the cost of clarity and isolation of the individual instraments. Also the bass and mid-range on the Sony XM4 is muddy compared to the Bose 700. The Sony have louder bass, but the quality of the bass sucks. The Bose 700 bass is tight and clean. The same goes for the midrange.
The stuff on the headband is not “wear”. That’s from the oils in your own hair and scalp. Also, get yourself a good neck pillow. It’ll help stabilize your head when you sleep on a plane so that you don’t put so much weight on the side of your head/headphones when you lay your head against something.
Though its helpful you missed couple of points. Example you are forced to download the app, create an account and without internet connection you can't actually change the noise cancelation level
If you don’t mind answering my question as I only use the Noise canceling headphone while I am on an airplane . I have phobia from engine sound,which one is best in terms of: 1- NC 2- comfort I appreciate you advice
Why should i buy the 700's when Bose will nerf the nc when a new product comes out, just like they did with the qc35ii's. Shame on you Bose. I feel ripped off.
This is an updated review: my overall opinion big dissatisfaction with the design. The design and software: very very poor for such an expensive device. Pros: Aspects of a good headset: Comfort, sound quality of music, sound quality of call, BT connection, Multipairing ability, Noise Cancelling, looks/design, ease of transport. 1. BT connection is seamless and fast on a samsung Galaxy Note 8. Both first connection and second reconnection. Also a simultaneous BT connection with my PC windows 10 absolutely no issue. All you need to do is click on the BT button, within seconds, wait for it to tell you that it is waiting for the next pairing, pair it, and voila. 2. Voice call quality is the best I ever tested. On this 10/10. Although when you speak you do not hear yourself well specially if ANC is on. 3. Music sound is clean and the bass is good and full. I think it is a 8/10 on sound quality. However, it lacks this ‘stadium/immersive effect’ and you do not feel that you are immersed. Am sure Sony has a better sound experience where you feel immersed in the music and it is more punchy. But this Bose is fine. But the Sony gives you a more immersive sound experience and more punch. If your main choice is sound, maybe the Sony xm3 is a better choice ( beware it has no multi pairing mode option, so you can only connect to one BT device which is a big minus point.) 4. ANC is good. You can distinctly feel the difference between no ANC and full ANC. But it is not going to block all the noise. It is just reduced. Low frequency noises are blocked. 5. Installs update automatically when you install the Bose Music app. This is very good instead of waiting for the user to look for the update and install manually. Cons: Edit: //When utube is run on PC with windows 10, and BT is connected on a Samsung Galaxy Note 8, utube audio on PC keeps breaking. This issue does not happen with my Taotronics which costs 70 Euros. This is clearly unacceptable for a headset from Bose that costs 400 Euros!!! The aspects is the comfort and design. Big minus points. When you lay down on a pillow the headset will simply fall off your head even how much you compact it around your head. This is probably due to the large space between your head and the headset. It is not well fit on the head like previous versions. The design and look is SERIOUSLY bad. Audio will not work from USB C cable. Will alsonot work during charging, not even with the AUX cable. This means you are stuck with less than 19 hours of battery life. If you cannot charge while on a trip, the headset is unusable. // 1.Charged it overnight and am getting only 17 hours from it. Second full night charging got max 19.5 hours. Not the advertised 20! So in some years this will keep dropping. That is very very poor. 2. Big Minus Point: Does not connect to BT while charging neither does it work with the aux cable. Also no USB-Audio connection possible. New smartphones may remove the AUX port so this could make it useless if uncharged or if someone has a long trip and cannot charge it etc. 3. I was listening to music on my phone and when i restart my PC it stops my music and lists for my all the devices connected with long full names and I need to wait to listen to this each time a connection is made. This is very poor design. This should be quicker: say, connected to 2 devices. That’s all. If the user wants to know more details, they check on their app. 4. Impossible to know where is the OFF function.. Useless manual...no picture illustration inside. They should have a small indication to say which button does what. There is no information ALL all neither on the headset nor in the manuals, or on the box, what those 2 buttons do? Shocking! 5. Flimsy build..this looks and feels like a 25 Euro headset. It looks like they went for a ‘dirt cheap’ design to make maximum profits. Does not look and feel premium. This is a big minus point. The design is really crap. If Sony had a multi pairing headset with good ANC and good voice call, I would not buy the Bose 700 only due to the very cheap 4. looking design and poor comfort. 6. Comfort: not good. Very badly designed. The cup is very small and squeezes your ears. Am shocked that after 5 years of research they destroyed what was good. You will feel it after 30 mins. 7. Ease of transport: not good. I can easily pack a Sony XM3 in pockets of my bag.. But this one you need a larger surface. Fazit: Sadly it is not worth the 400 Euros from a built quality point of view with only some improvements over previous version and significant drop in built quality and comfort. It does not give me complete satisfaction for what I pay for. At this price point my expectations were higher. Is it worth upgrading from Bose QC 2: only if call audio quality is a priority and accept the deteriorated trag-comfort. If you are prepared to wait, my suggestion is to wait for Sony’s next release before spending 400 Euros. If you cannot wait, I think this is the best overall offer at the moment: call quality, BT connection, decent sound quality. Will be updated.
I’m actually still debating whether or not to upgrade from the QC25 to these 700 or the Sony 1000XM4. The problem is I wear glasses and I don’t want over ear headphones to hurt my ears
Hi, thanks for the detailed review. 1Q: You say, when hook up the AUX/headphone jack the bluetooth turns off? So if I would be listening to music from my phone - would I still be able to use Touch screen on the headphone to control Volume/Play/Pause ?
This nc is same as Bose Quite Comfort 35 II, no difference at all. Even i use nc Bose Quite Comfort 35 II on plane. Upto now Bose Quite Comfort 35 II is best and brilliant product from Bose
I read online that if you use the wire connection you lose active noise cancelling. Is that true? Asking for a transatlantic flight. The only thing keeping me from buying a pair if that is true.
drantolin do you find the onboard entertainment system to be worthy ? I guess your own iPad would be much better for spending the flight time. And ok , if you really need to use this stuff just buying a Bluetooth connector :)
The bose are the best headphones i ever had i have the sony 1000 hanging on my wall after I bought the bose. The sony’s feel cheap compare to the bose, with my student discount i paid the same price of the sonys 1000 so what’s the point...
@@ebpman No problem they are not on my buying list...i'll stickwith the QC35 which are more than enough for me... I think wear is normal, the headband of my QC35 shows wear as well and cannot be replaced. I ll pick up the new WF-1000XM3 that should be a much better all rounder than the MTW. Not too thrilled about the non replaceable battery of all those new earphones/headphones
today I got my 700 and oh my god Bose have really messed up. even my old music sounds so horrible and also the clamping force is bad. I'm gonna return it will stick to my qc 35ii

I basically need a headset with the ANC of the XM3, the mics of the 700 and the weight of the QC35 II.
That's what we all need and what we all are waiting for.
And the ear cups of the xb900n....aparently every body saying by far the most comfortable. Maybe the 1000xm4 will put it all together.
Also the 900n's are lighter than the qc35ii I believe
Then you need the beats studio 3s
@@kimmartinez9195 The beats studios 3 aren't that good imo.
7:51 plane cabin test
Nice
It cancels more sound than that from my own experience
I have tested all 3 of them and one thing I can say is 35ii are the most comfy of them all. Can stay on my ears for hours without any issue.
Burhan Mir I Totally Agee 35ii are the best Premium Look with Nice Metal BOSE Logo
@@keshav.ghanate99 I have the Bose QC 35ii and like them but they do not look premium. They look boring and cheap. If you want premium look, the Bowers & Wilkins P7 and PX and Sennheiser Momentums look premium. Both which kill the Bose in looks and SQ. The Bose is so comfortable though so I use it for travel.
FlamencoOz No bose is a popular brand here in swiss while bowers and wilkins nobody knows that here and their headphones dont look good😐
Quite strange, but by this test in this video i hear average to poor ANC effect.
To be fair, it is just a microphone being stuffed in between his ear and the drivers.
Compare the call quality of 700 and QC35II
Thanks for the actual air travel review. Great to hear about the call quality. Interesting about falling asleep in the headphones.
No highs no lows, it must be BOSE.
Not being facetious, my AirPod Pros gave up the ghost so I decided to give the 700s a try. Everything about them is awesome EXCEPT the sound quality while playing music. The rolled-off bass and treble make every song I threw at these sound hollow and muddy. When the APPs worked, they sounded night and day better.
Does anybody feel the App connection is not stable? Sometimes it cannot connect to my Iphone...
Yes. At times app connection drops or will not reconnect. But I don't use the app for much.
Does the touch work with gloves 🧤? Specially in the winter ? The qc35 has buttons which I really liked , what will happen in the winter when you are having gloves on ! Can you swipe on it !?
I assume that you'd need some of those cool gloves that work with touch screens. I love the buttons on the QC35s!
Thanks for the informative video, especially on the call quality side of things. I was debating to get these for trips and meeting on-the-go since Bose said took special attention to add the microphone array for phone calls. Your review answered all my questions, thank you!
The top part is good ! It can be cleaned after a run ! Unlike the 35s which are more like cotton or alcantara thing

Its 34k in india
I would never pay 400$ for headphone.. Bought QC35II for less than 200$ and it is more than reasonable price for it
