When I have disposable income ima buy these. Tried them at Best Buy and compared them to the xm3’s and the other Bose headphones. For me the 700’s were the clear winner. Felt much more premium, they didn’t touch my ears AT ALL, and they finally have touch controls. Plus I love the design of them, looks so clean.
I had the Sony WF-1000XF3's for a couple of weeks. Amazing noise cancellation, comfortable enough fit and a great sound for wireless. They fell short in two critical details - bluetooth pairing and voice conversations. I traded 'up' to the Bose 700's primarily because their improvements in these two areas and haven't looked back. I treated the Sony's with kid gloves - always putting them back in the case. The Bose 700's stay on my head or around my neck through most of the workday. They did an awesome job with voice isolation, which even allows me to carry on conversations in the car with my kids at their rowdiest. Overall 9.5/10 stars, and they only lost the 1/2 point because I still feel that they should have been priced at $350 at release.
Got my Bose 700 just yesterday and loving them already! The noise cancellation is just amazing, call quality is good too. The sound is also great - i do not know why so many people complained about Bass. I was confused earlier on the bass, but don’t see any issue with it after listening to music and taking call for two days. Trying to get used to the touchpad and understand how exactly the connection works though, sometimes its confusing. Another thing is they are so light that i can literally not feel anything on my head. I don’t regret my decision. Go for it!

Talking about comfort, I had used the Bose for more than 5 hours continuously, they are really comfortable. So far the best headphone that I ever used...
Alex Mason Open box means it isn’t used... also there pretty much isn’t a hygienic risk, even if it’s refurbished.... and if you do get faulty headphones eBay always protects the buyer more than the seller. Way more worth it at half the cost
Own the QC 35s, the new 700s and the Sony's. Find myself reaching for the 700s consistently, they are just easier to use and a little more comfortable than the competition.
Ashwin Iyer their names are terrible on all their headphones and earphones. Like my Sony IER Z1R earphones. The best sounding earphones out there, but the name is pretty bad.
I got the bose 700...cold swea?. Hardly. Sonys got problems in the cold and cant do two devices and arent as comfortable...and the real world test on both battery? Bose won..so that 30 hrs stuff is bold ass lie.
"Go to Settings>Apps and Notifications>Bose Music>Permissions>Location and turn it on. I had also given permission when installing the app but it was not on. Giving the app location permission immediately let me connect through the app and everything is working fine." Credit to AdamN7 on the Bose community! I absolutely love these headphones
I just picked up the bose NC700S from ebay. At first, I didn't much care for the sound, it was okay, but nothing special. Also, after I updated my headphones, the EQ settings on the bose music app, was completely inaccessible with voice over. Well, I found out there was an update to the bose music app, and man what a difference. The EQ is now totally accessible with voice over, and now with the bass boost on, the headphones sound great. I love the design of the headphones noise canceling is insane, and call quality is also very good. Grab yourself a set of these headphones, you won't be disappointed. They are also very comfortable as well.
I own many NC headphones. (QC35 ii, NC700, surface headphones) I owned and returned the XM3 for a number of reasons. If you look at smaller TH-cam channels you’ll find that the XM3 is generally less liked than the NC700 and QC35 for good reason
@@Hentjim comfort and has the ability to connect to two devices simultaneously. for me these two factors just beats the xm3. i have the qc 35 ii, its the best really.
Hentjim A few dealbreakers include very bad microphone quality for calls (NC700 absolutely murders it in that department). No 2 device pairing. Really Sony? Sound quality is arguably worse and this has been argued by a rather large number of people myself included. If you’re a bass head then sure the XM3s are for you but no EQ adjustment could get the incredible upper mids and overall highs of the Bose. Next the look kills it for me. They look like you’re wearing the headphones that people on the tarmac at airports directing planes wear. It’s ugly imo.
I have the qc35ii and unfortunately as I found on hundreds of posts after the new firmware update they are useless... There is even assumption that Bose did it on purpose to boost the 700 series...
i bought the MDR-1000X (the original of the 1000XM3 before they switched to the WH line) for only 90 dollars and they really get the job done. i dont see myself spending 400 even though these lack the sony app but the experience is nearly as premium. give buying used a try, ive had no issues and have had performance that can keep up to even the QC35's even though theyre 100 dollars more minimum and thats in used condition.
The selling point for me was the analog input. Yes, you read that correctly. I had the QC35 (stolen unfortunately), and will be looking to purchase this in the near future. The reason is because I use in-ears to play live music. For that to happen, I have to use an analog direct source. Using bluetooth results in latency making it impossible to play.
I have enjoyed the OE2 for 20+ yrs . They are very comfortable and analog. I'm not a fan of wireless dependency. The fact that the 700s are able to be used both ways is a plus. I like the thin headband and being adjustable for my ears. A lot of other headphones seem to have huge bulky headbands that slip off the back of my head and slip side to side because they are so big. I've tried earbuds but they just annoy the heck out of me. Lol . My search continues. Thank you for your review
im not the most gentle person and through some rough handling, they're still doing fine. you would probably get the, to snap off if you tried to intentionally though.
Every night I turn them off and toss them onto the floor before I sleep. Not a single scratch (yet) and it's very difficult to take the leather earcups when you want to, never mind if you aren't trying to. But the full earcup is fully metal, everything but the top silicone headband and leather earcups are metal. It's a very strong and flexible steel, it looks and feels good
Xistence Studios they're made of spring steel, they aren't just gonna snap. I'm an engineer and I believe in these headphones and their durability. And it's only about a 3ft drop so it's not "that" bad for them.
One of the biggest improvements, if not the biggest improvement, is voice quality during calls. It's pretty impressive how far ahead they are in that department. But I like my Sony's for every other aspect.
I wish Bose would integrate all their products into their Bose Connect app, rather than making a new app like they did with the 700’s. They did this with the Sleepbuds too
I’ve had the same exact headphones for about for or five days now. I’ve had many many different kinds of bose and beats headphones, To include the QC 35 headphones from Bose that were the previous versions as these. I posted my own review on them after three days of using them on my channel, and I must say that they are the best sounding Bose that I have heard yet. The design is very nice but takes some getting used to with the capacitive touch controls. Other than that they are in excellent sounding pair of headphones and one of my favorite, definitely in my top three. Yet I have not had any headphones that were over $500 yet. They get a 9.5 for midrange headphones.
I have the Bose QC45 and it is a great product for a great price of $230, id take that one over the more expensive Sony and Bose, and noice canceling works well on it
Side by side - trying both the Sony and the Bose 700 - the sound quality and EQ settings sold it. I was excited to listen to the Sony’s, while the Bose sounded like the same QC-level sound we’ve had for years now, almost no difference. Noise cancelling has different pros and Cons, comfort was about equal (Bose with a slight edge) - but unless you’re consistently taking phone calls over these headphones, go with the Sonys every time.
JimsReviewRoom did a head to head with these vs Sony and Sony won, hands down. Better ANC and Audio signature. For those that don't know he let's you listen to the ANC test, Music test and Mic test. I highly suggest looking him up if you are looking into audio gear as he is the best on YT in that area.
Kaoru Sugimura Bose NC 700 beat the Sony WH 1000XM3s away on the mic/phone call quality test (for anyone looking to make a lot of calls in noisy environments). And can pair with 2 devices simultaneously. But yes Sony was clear winner in noise cancelling (especially at high frequencies) and others, especially the flexibility in changing EQ. And yep JimsReviewRoom is awesome!
I used to respect jims review a lot buh his review on the bose was terrible. He forced himself to a corner and couldn't really voice out his opinions. He was just downplaying how terrible this was comparing to the Sony's
Bought the 700s yesterday and returning them today. I’ve had the Sony 1000s for a year and I’m sticking with those. Bose sound quality is flatter and the app doesn’t let you adjust the sound while the Sony’s app does. The 700s should have been priced at $250 for what they offer.
So nice to know a year later they did fix it and I just got these for Christmas and the app works fantastic on Samsung now. Thanks for the honest review 👍
How about the call quality? Most of us using these for work will need good call quality, particularly in noise environments, and from the reviews so far, the Bose seem ahead on that.
Heyo gonna slide in and help out a bit here. Have had my bose 700 black for around 3 days now before setting it up the call quality on the incoming audio was amazing. But when trying to talk my dad explained some crackling almost like a headphone jack being plugged in. But after I went ahead and updated them it went away. After some audio test in noisy and non noisy areas it excels in both and even beat my phone microphone in a few tests. They're pretty good at isolating your voice but the second you stop speaking all the background noises starts coming back in. Hope this helps Dev.
Just FYI, the international version of Sony's WH-1000XM3 is availabe at Amazon for $270. No missing accessories or anything. Just some multi-language documents. Needless to say, I love them! Haven't really compared to Bose competitor models, but they are just amazing and the app is highly optimized.
I have the Bose NC 700 myself and the iPhone 11 Pro. When trying to connect the headset to the app I had to delete and re-download the app 3 times in order to connect properly. But once it’s connected it’s all good. So yes I agree with what he said, some software work can be done to improve the overall User experience!
I recently tried the Sony MX3(whatever they are called) and the Bose 700. Short review: The Sony’s have a really crazy bass that gets in your face letting you know that it is a bass headphone. While the Bose 700 have a nice warm tone to it. I went with the Bose 700 because that’s my style. Also, I am a music major, so I’m not listening that is bass heavy.
The one thing i can think of that isn't discussed is that if you get the silver one which most people will, it starts to change in color and peel its coating in time. I have had two pairs of the bose 700 and they both did the same thing. Headphones are great, better than the Sony xm3 and would never go back to Sony even if they offered me money to try their new xm4 or maybe I'd accept the money and buy another bose product but seriously can't stand the Sony headphones. *edit auto correct sucks sometimes.
Honestly the quiet comfort35ii sounds and feels better, the 700 just felt awkward on my head and the comforts felt like I could sleep with them and the noise canceling made the Apple store turn into 1on1 concert in my brain. It was amazing
@@Klash716 I'm just guessing but they've been releasing a new model every year. Sony 1000x came out 2016. Xm2 2017. Xm3 2018. They took the crown with the Xm3 till that new bose just came out. They probably want it back. A lot of Xm3 have been appearing online lately, heavily discounted as well, which makes me think they're clearing inventory.
This guy never mentions comfort. After using Sony headsets for hours (for studying) and my Bose QC 35, sound quality doesn't matter as much. What does matter is how comfortable the headphone are, and how my ambient noise is eliminated. Bose wins, no doubt. These is facts.
I have these and i really enjoy them. Specifically because they come from a company that mainly focuses on sound equipment. Sony is a universe that sells everything, which is not a bad thing, but i chose Bose because of this, and because they have always provided exceptional sound quality on all their devices. I love that it's touch based, it takes some getting used to, but it becomes very intuitive once you get the hang of it. The sound is pure and loud, not heavy or bassy. There is some bass there to appreciate, gives you just the right amount you need, but if you need more, you're going to have to look else where, but i'm thinking that people don't buy Bose for bass bumping expectations. The noise canceling is awesome, you can't go wrong with this. One thing that might be a bit of a annoyance at first, putting them on or taking them off, when cupping the headphones with my hands, i accidentally hit the side buttons sometimes, but it has stopped happening because it's something you have to remind yourself of until it becomes second nature, all in all, these headphones are great, and you are making an investment on these Bose headphones, you can count on them being around for a very long time.
I think it's also fairly important to say that the Sony has a longer battery life of 30 hours, compared to 20, and the Bose unfortunately doesn't support fast charging, where the Sony's do. Personally, I was expecting a little more from these headphones performance wise considering the history Bose has in this segment.
I realize this is an old comment, but on the note of battery life, there are many users stating they aren’t getting the 30hrs Sony claims. During my research between the 700’s and Sony’s MD4’s I found a hi-fi site comparing the two playing the same media with maximum ANC on. Bose ended up playing for a longer period of time. Kinda weird how liberal the “up to” part of the battery life claim is.
I almost bought these, but for much less money the skullcandy hesh 2 had the best sound for me. The bose did not impress me for the bucks. I bought the sonys, though and still have not felt the need to use them while the hesh 2 (and hesh 3) seemed pretty good so far. The sonys sounded great and they have the mute where you just wave your hand past the ear cup. They were comfy as well. I will get into those sonys soon enough. I am terribly addicted to high tech for low price. The best sound in headphones were these gaudy gold headphones from monster - a few years back. I went back to buy them and they only had the display model, so I ended up with the hesh 2 which were good enough for the price.
There’s one thing you guys need to try out with this headphone, I’ve been owning it since day one, it is very annoying at a bumpy situation. I hope Lew could try to go out with it maybe get on a bus or drive on some bumpy roads. You’ll find out what I have been talking about. It is annoying, I’m very disappointed.
I found this in the store and they where black colored and I was like huh never heard of these headphones. Then I bought these headphones and then As soon As I wore them it started playing orchestra music and then surprised me with features like Alexa. I already had these headphones for 3 days and they are EPIC. I got them for a really good deal.
I just brought a pair works fine for me been a long time Sony user. Since having these Bose wow wow wow. Being on the spectrum I love the noise cancelling
I love the Bose 700 over the Sony 1000mhx3 or whatever amazing feel slightly worse in sound but barely but noise cancellation is so much better and they have a better design look and name and the way they implemented basic features in such a unique way is amazing
I cannot count the amount of times my headphones have broken at the cup or band. These appear to have 1 piece band so might be more durable than sony/35's. Not sure about the pivoting cups though.
Do you mean that these broke on you or do you mean that others have broke on you and that's why you're looking at these hoping that they are better? Thanks
They are the best at blocking out background noise I live on a farm and live right by the barn and my neighbors have some cows out there and of course sometimes that mooing gets annoying I can’t hear them whenever I put the Bose 700s on it is really nice to be able to hear what you want to here.
More headphones in the future arent going to fold up bc its just harder to create amazing sound quality and also fold up. If you the best sounds quality get headphones that dont
sound -same as sonys mk3 design - weird and those holes between head and band are really funny noise canceling- sony still best if it is worth at least 50$ for you its your choise ;-)
THIS IS NOT COINCIDENT I AM CERTAN FOR 200%. In 5 years time we did purchase 2 pairs BOSE noise canceling over ear headphones. Both was with 2 years warranty. After 2 years ( 2 months after warranty), when warranty finished headphones stopped work. Just stopped. We did not damage, did not drop, because we are care about expencive items, because we are have fixed amount of income. For us impossible to repair headphones, because is very expencive. This not about money, this about quality. Everything is for money, making for money not for quality. After 2 years you must to buy another expencive headphones, because for company not reason to make high quality headphones. High quality last long time and company will lose profit. All companies doing same. This is my opinion. Thank you, V.G.

I have a 20$ skull setup is it going to work for me 😂
Bose just updated the app with EQ and now the sound is greatly improved. I just got my Bose 700 three weeks ago and I'm happy with them.
Does the bass and treble actually make a difference when you increase it? Or does it sound shitty?

All the executives at Bose are gonna be lying awake in a cold sweat after this one...
Sony ftw, can't wait for those wh1000xm4s :)
Robert Lembo thought the same thing! Not a good day for Bose
Holy crap
Sony has to rename them though, that's a terrible name for a crazy good product
There has not been any official news on when or if Sony will make the XM4
Ashwin Iyer their names are terrible on all their headphones and earphones. Like my Sony IER Z1R earphones. The best sounding earphones out there, but the name is pretty bad.
I got the bose 700...cold swea?. Hardly. Sonys got problems in the cold and cant do two devices and arent as comfortable...and the real world test on both battery? Bose won..so that 30 hrs stuff is bold ass lie.
"Depending on your skull setup"
"Go to Settings>Apps and Notifications>Bose Music>Permissions>Location and turn it on. I had also given permission when installing the app but it was not on. Giving the app location permission immediately let me connect through the app and everything is working fine."

I just picked up the bose NC700S from ebay. At first, I didn't much care for the sound, it was okay, but nothing special. Also, after I updated my headphones, the EQ settings on the bose music app, was completely inaccessible with voice over. Well, I found out there was an update to the bose music app, and man what a difference. The EQ is now totally accessible with voice over, and now with the bass boost on, the headphones sound great. I love the design of the headphones noise canceling is insane, and call quality is also very good. Grab yourself a set of these headphones, you won't be disappointed. They are also very comfortable as well.

Watching on them Sony IER Z1R.
Hmm watching them on my sennheiser hd800s
Just bought my QC35 ii. Absolutely LOVE IT. I was close to picking the Bose 700, but ngl the QC35ii is literally perfect.
Was waiting for this and see how Lew likes these Bose vs. Sony XM3.
I own many NC headphones. (QC35 ii, NC700, surface headphones)
I owned and returned the XM3 for a number of reasons. If you look at smaller TH-cam channels you’ll find that the XM3 is generally less liked than the NC700 and QC35 for good reason
@@dylanwhisnant6772 For what reason may I ask, because I'm looking for NC headphones and I don't want to make a mistake
@@Hentjim comfort and has the ability to connect to two devices simultaneously. for me these two factors just beats the xm3. i have the qc 35 ii, its the best really.
Hentjim
A few dealbreakers include very bad microphone quality for calls (NC700 absolutely murders it in that department).
No 2 device pairing. Really Sony?
Sound quality is arguably worse and this has been argued by a rather large number of people myself included. If you’re a bass head then sure the XM3s are for you but no EQ adjustment could get the incredible upper mids and overall highs of the Bose.
Next the look kills it for me. They look like you’re wearing the headphones that people on the tarmac at airports directing planes wear. It’s ugly imo.
Sony has better noise quality compared to Bose. But Bose headphones are the most comfy. Jim' review room gives detailed explanations on these.
Damn, those seem like a let down. I rather have the Sony headphones or the older Bose quite comfort. Plus for $400, I want the best premium.
I have the qc35ii and unfortunately as I found on hundreds of posts after the new firmware update they are useless... There is even assumption that Bose did it on purpose to boost the 700 series...
The sony wh-1000xm3 often goes on sale for $250 as well so its quite a large gap in the cost for the new bose 700 and the sony xm3.
The sonys are really overpriced. They sound very similar to the xb950's for an extra 200 cad
i sell 1st edition, brand new, grey color for 200$+international shipping
i bought the MDR-1000X (the original of the 1000XM3 before they switched to the WH line) for only 90 dollars and they really get the job done. i dont see myself spending 400 even though these lack the sony app but the experience is nearly as premium. give buying used a try, ive had no issues and have had performance that can keep up to even the QC35's even though theyre 100 dollars more minimum and thats in used condition.
The selling point for me was the analog input. Yes, you read that correctly. I had the QC35 (stolen unfortunately), and will be looking to purchase this in the near future. The reason is because I use in-ears to play live music. For that to happen, I have to use an analog direct source. Using bluetooth results in latency making it impossible to play.
Dave Normandin there is not much latency
P
I have enjoyed the OE2 for 20+ yrs . They are very comfortable and analog. I'm not a fan of wireless dependency. The fact that the 700s are able to be used both ways is a plus. I like the thin headband and being adjustable for my ears. A lot of other headphones seem to have huge bulky headbands that slip off the back of my head and slip side to side because they are so big. I've tried earbuds but they just annoy the heck out of me. Lol . My search continues.
Thank you for your review
I feel like the earcups would very easily snap off of the headband
im not the most gentle person and through some rough handling, they're still doing fine.
you would probably get the, to snap off if you tried to intentionally though.
Every night I turn them off and toss them onto the floor before I sleep. Not a single scratch (yet) and it's very difficult to take the leather earcups when you want to, never mind if you aren't trying to. But the full earcup is fully metal, everything but the top silicone headband and leather earcups are metal. It's a very strong and flexible steel, it looks and feels good
@@owencoyne6223 you good , why you treat em like that
Xistence Studios they're made of spring steel, they aren't just gonna snap. I'm an engineer and I believe in these headphones and their durability. And it's only about a 3ft drop so it's not "that" bad for them.
I need a name if you throw woman to the ground and beat them every night, it won’t kill em but it’s not nice
One of the biggest improvements, if not the biggest improvement, is voice quality during calls. It's pretty impressive how far ahead they are in that department. But I like my Sony's for every other aspect.
How can anyone give this review a thumbs down.... Fantastic review. Thank you!
I wish Bose would integrate all their products into their Bose Connect app, rather than making a new app like they did with the 700’s. They did this with the Sleepbuds too
I’ve had the same exact headphones for about for or five days now. I’ve had many many different kinds of bose and beats headphones, To include the QC 35 headphones from Bose that were the previous versions as these.
I posted my own review on them after three days of using them on my channel, and I must say that they are the best sounding Bose that I have heard yet. The design is very nice but takes some getting used to with the capacitive touch controls. Other than that they are in excellent sounding pair of headphones and one of my favorite, definitely in my top three. Yet I have not had any headphones that were over $500 yet.
They get a 9.5 for midrange headphones.
Bose700 or the bose 45?
I have the Bose QC45 and it is a great product for a great price of $230, id take that one over the more expensive Sony and Bose, and noice canceling works well on it
I LOVE UNBOX THERAPY!!! KEEP IT UP!!!
Got this off of link in amazon:
“(Apps for Android users are in development. Bose AR availability and functionality varies. “
been using the Bose QC series for years now. They're still my weapon of choice!
@Bob Ross than the 700s? Not even close
Side by side - trying both the Sony and the Bose 700 - the sound quality and EQ settings sold it. I was excited to listen to the Sony’s, while the Bose sounded like the same QC-level sound we’ve had for years now, almost no difference. Noise cancelling has different pros and Cons, comfort was about equal (Bose with a slight edge) - but unless you’re consistently taking phone calls over these headphones, go with the Sonys every time.
Lew is the type of guy that communicates with facial reactions to viewers and wants them to interprete how good a pair of headphones are🤣👍
After the Google pixel 6 preorder launch in the UK I'm expecting a lot of these will end up on eBay for cheap!
I'm keeping mine lol
Mine certainly will! Surprised they aren't giving away a pair of their own headphones. They'd be cheaper retail anyway.
I'm personally keeping mine but then I'm a bit weird like that.
Same in Germany
I'm thinking shall I keep them that's why I'm watching this
JimsReviewRoom did a head to head with these vs Sony and Sony won, hands down. Better ANC and Audio signature.
For those that don't know he let's you listen to the ANC test, Music test and Mic test. I highly suggest looking him up if you are looking into audio gear as he is the best on YT in that area.
Kaoru Sugimura Bose NC 700 beat the Sony WH 1000XM3s away on the mic/phone call quality test (for anyone looking to make a lot of calls in noisy environments). And can pair with 2 devices simultaneously.
But yes Sony was clear winner in noise cancelling (especially at high frequencies) and others, especially the flexibility in changing EQ.
And yep JimsReviewRoom is awesome!
I used to respect jims review a lot buh his review on the bose was terrible. He forced himself to a corner and couldn't really voice out his opinions. He was just downplaying how terrible this was comparing to the Sony's
He is underrated
I chose Bose 700 purely for it's mic performance. Superb for taking calls.
I chose Bose as I've had Bose products in the past and trust in their ability to deliver.

Bought the 700s yesterday and returning them today. I’ve had the Sony 1000s for a year and I’m sticking with those. Bose sound quality is flatter and the app doesn’t let you adjust the sound while the Sony’s app does. The 700s should have been priced at $250 for what they offer.
Flat is better ?
Very well thought out. Appreciate anything with a consumer focused design. Thanks for the video!
Congrats for 15 million.We want weird gadgets from you.
8:04 Tool - Sober. I suddenly just had to sub. Love you.
Notice the subtle flex at 9:40 “Bose you’re watching this video...” (I mean, you come to me for my opinion on your product)
Any company's team usually looks out for popular reviews online for their product.
well the sony has great sound and more functionality, the bose looks cool is what he said at the end.
So nice to know a year later they did fix it and I just got these for Christmas and the app works fantastic on Samsung now. Thanks for the honest review 👍
As soon as some bug/error comes on this channel... Devs go crazy and bammmmm bugs fixed. You're a non paid tester my friend Lew 🤯
so are you saying the app is fixed now?
“your skull set up”
What a term
How about the call quality? Most of us using these for work will need good call quality, particularly in noise environments, and from the reviews so far, the Bose seem ahead on that.
Heyo gonna slide in and help out a bit here. Have had my bose 700 black for around 3 days now before setting it up the call quality on the incoming audio was amazing. But when trying to talk my dad explained some crackling almost like a headphone jack being plugged in. But after I went ahead and updated them it went away. After some audio test in noisy and non noisy areas it excels in both and even beat my phone microphone in a few tests. They're pretty good at isolating your voice but the second you stop speaking all the background noises starts coming back in.
Hope this helps
Dev.
lmao mine broke after half a month of use. The left side headphone maintained airplane sound after getting off the plane so maintenance time!
I got them today, I completely love them! Amazing sound and super comfortable!
Carolina G any problems? How long do they charge for
This man said 'your skull setup.' Im dying.
I had an issue setting up with the Bose iPhone app as well, but it eventually worked. The noise canceling is incredible.
1. Take off your hat when doing a comfort test..
2. CHECK THE MIC...
I knew a joseph acosta from abq!!!
*_They are looking amazing, I hope they will not be called “weird” ._* 💫
R!CKY D who cares if people call them weird? Fuck them. Set your own trends
That’s what happens to apple
They is ugly
Some say they look gay. But you should decide for yourself
I bought these and love them, the noise canceling is unbelievable. I’ve never had headphones this nice and they were worth it too me.
9:24 (Correction*) Sony WH-1000XM3's launch price was $350 and through discounts, you can get it for $300. So it's a $100 difference.
Just FYI, the international version of Sony's WH-1000XM3 is availabe at Amazon for $270.
No missing accessories or anything. Just some multi-language documents.
Needless to say, I love them! Haven't really compared to Bose competitor models, but they are just amazing and the app is highly optimized.
Fakes
I have the Bose NC 700 myself and the iPhone 11 Pro. When trying to connect the headset to the app I had to delete and re-download the app 3 times in order to connect properly. But once it’s connected it’s all good. So yes I agree with what he said, some software work can be done to improve the overall User experience!
I recently tried the Sony MX3(whatever they are called) and the Bose 700. Short review: The Sony’s have a really crazy bass that gets in your face letting you know that it is a bass headphone. While the Bose 700 have a nice warm tone to it. I went with the Bose 700 because that’s my style. Also, I am a music major, so I’m not listening that is bass heavy.
hello !! i just want to ask how the bass quality for the bose 700 is ? does it still feel premium even without comparing it to the sony ? thank you ~
The one thing i can think of that isn't discussed is that if you get the silver one which most people will, it starts to change in color and peel its coating in time. I have had two pairs of the bose 700 and they both did the same thing. Headphones are great, better than the Sony xm3 and would never go back to Sony even if they offered me money to try their new xm4 or maybe I'd accept the money and buy another bose product but seriously can't stand the Sony headphones.
*edit auto correct sucks sometimes.
never thought id see killing me softly on a review abt headphones. gonna buy them tmr! thx
He said "these are crazy comfortable" as he puts them on backwards 3:15 Imagine if he put them the right way around!
Honestly the quiet comfort35ii sounds and feels better, the 700 just felt awkward on my head and the comforts felt like I could sleep with them and the noise canceling made the Apple store turn into 1on1 concert in my brain. It was amazing
Love how this guy can turn a phrase; the shape of your head becomes 'your skull setup'! 😹
Need to wait till XM4's drop to really know which headphones to get this year.
What makes you think they’ll drop this year?
@@Klash716 I'm just guessing but they've been releasing a new model every year. Sony 1000x came out 2016. Xm2 2017. Xm3 2018. They took the crown with the Xm3 till that new bose just came out. They probably want it back. A lot of Xm3 have been appearing online lately, heavily discounted as well, which makes me think they're clearing inventory.
Jolly I see that’s a fair point. If you’re right I was planning on getting XM3 but if the XM4s are on their way in I’ll wait
@@nybiggs nura has the crown, just saying.. way better sound than both Bose and Sony.
This guy never mentions comfort. After using Sony headsets for hours (for studying) and my Bose QC 35, sound quality doesn't matter as much. What does matter is how comfortable the headphone are, and how my ambient noise is eliminated. Bose wins, no doubt.
These is facts.
Sound quality is what matters most to me when it comes to a pair of headphones.. comfort second. Also bose are known to be overpriced.
Kaylan Murray but thats not what ANC headphones are for. comfort is what u need
I gotta agree with News Man; especially during this age of Working From Home. Comfort prevails
Jack isn't a camera, he just doesn't want to show his face
Before buying these, check *YOUR SKULL SETUP* 💀 🔊
Sony can be bought at Best Buy for $299. Still have my qc35ii and still working
Another major edge for the Bose 700 is the much better call quality which for me is very important. Thanks for the review. 👍🏼
I have these and i really enjoy them. Specifically because they come from a company that mainly focuses on sound equipment. Sony is a universe that sells everything, which is not a bad thing, but i chose Bose because of this, and because they have always provided exceptional sound quality on all their devices. I love that it's touch based, it takes some getting used to, but it becomes very intuitive once you get the hang of it. The sound is pure and loud, not heavy or bassy. There is some bass there to appreciate, gives you just the right amount you need, but if you need more, you're going to have to look else where, but i'm thinking that people don't buy Bose for bass bumping expectations. The noise canceling is awesome, you can't go wrong with this. One thing that might be a bit of a annoyance at first, putting them on or taking them off, when cupping the headphones with my hands, i accidentally hit the side buttons sometimes, but it has stopped happening because it's something you have to remind yourself of until it becomes second nature, all in all, these headphones are great, and you are making an investment on these Bose headphones, you can count on them being around for a very long time.
I think it's also fairly important to say that the Sony has a longer battery life of 30 hours, compared to 20, and the Bose unfortunately doesn't support fast charging, where the Sony's do. Personally, I was expecting a little more from these headphones performance wise considering the history Bose has in this segment.
I realize this is an old comment, but on the note of battery life, there are many users stating they aren’t getting the 30hrs Sony claims. During my research between the 700’s and Sony’s MD4’s I found a hi-fi site comparing the two playing the same media with maximum ANC on. Bose ended up playing for a longer period of time. Kinda weird how liberal the “up to” part of the battery life claim is.
I almost bought these, but for much less money the skullcandy hesh 2 had the best sound for me. The bose did not impress me for the bucks. I bought the sonys, though and still have not felt the need to use them while the hesh 2 (and hesh 3) seemed pretty good so far. The sonys sounded great and they have the mute where you just wave your hand past the ear cup. They were comfy as well. I will get into those sonys soon enough. I am terribly addicted to high tech for low price. The best sound in headphones were these gaudy gold headphones from monster - a few years back. I went back to buy them and they only had the display model, so I ended up with the hesh 2 which were good enough for the price.
There’s one thing you guys need to try out with this headphone, I’ve been owning it since day one, it is very annoying at a bumpy situation. I hope Lew could try to go out with it maybe get on a bus or drive on some bumpy roads. You’ll find out what I have been talking about. It is annoying, I’m very disappointed.
Lol yes it’s annoying. Or if you’re jogging with it. There’s a really bad distortion going on with it.
Holy Smoke.....
First view is mine...
Nice headphones though
Voition_Light lmao
I found this in the store and they where black colored and I was like huh never heard of these headphones. Then I bought these headphones and then As soon As I wore them it started playing orchestra music and then surprised me with features like Alexa. I already had these headphones for 3 days and they are EPIC. I got them for a really good deal.
Did my boy Lou here just say, "skull set-up"? Bahaha

I just brought a pair works fine for me been a long time Sony user. Since having these Bose wow wow wow. Being on the spectrum I love the noise cancelling
Unbox therapy: these headphones are so comfortable!
Also unbox therapy: wears a hat.
I used to work for Bose. I found out the sound link headphones sound better that the Qc flagship line.
This is the first review I’ve seen that said the product was garbage. Kudos. Honesty at last
I love the Bose 700 over the Sony 1000mhx3 or whatever amazing feel slightly worse in sound but barely but noise cancellation is so much better and they have a better design look and name and the way they implemented basic features in such a unique way is amazing
I cannot count the amount of times my headphones have broken at the cup or band. These appear to have 1 piece band so might be more durable than sony/35's. Not sure about the pivoting cups though.
Do you mean that these broke on you or do you mean that others have broke on you and that's why you're looking at these hoping that they are better? Thanks
They are the best at blocking out background noise I live on a farm and live right by the barn and my neighbors have some cows out there and of course sometimes that mooing gets annoying I can’t hear them whenever I put the Bose 700s on it is really nice to be able to hear what you want to here.
The deal breaker for me with these, is the fact that they don’t fold up. Good product though. They look really cool.
More headphones in the future arent going to fold up bc its just harder to create amazing sound quality and also fold up. If you the best sounds quality get headphones that dont
Good review -- the sound is amazing -- True -- plus you look amazing -- wearing them. True - It is worth the extra $50 -- True
Michael Mourek idk if they worth the extra, at the end he even incline for the Sony's
Nigga u tryna smash 😳😳😳
Michael Mourek for Canadians at apple its about 500$+ and Sony is about 300 and I got them for 200 on boxing day
sound -same as sonys mk3
design - weird and those holes between head and band are really funny
noise canceling- sony still best
if it is worth at least 50$ for you its your choise ;-)
THIS IS NOT COINCIDENT I AM CERTAN FOR 200%. In 5 years time we did purchase 2 pairs BOSE noise canceling over ear headphones. Both was with 2 years warranty. After 2 years ( 2 months after warranty), when warranty finished headphones stopped work. Just stopped. We did not damage, did not drop, because we are care about expencive items, because we are have fixed amount of income. For us impossible to repair headphones, because is very expencive. This not about money, this about quality. Everything is for money, making for money not for quality. After 2 years you must to buy another expencive headphones, because for company not reason to make high quality headphones. High quality last long time and company will lose profit. All companies doing same. This is my opinion. Thank you, V.G.
Just got my Bose 700 Headphones, they're awesome!!!
