Purely wonderful! The level of detail and attention that’s going into this review video is commendable. Thank you
Thanks a lot for your feedback, appreciated!
I love this in depth and hands on review style, well done!
Thanks, glad yo enjoyed it!
Love your reviews!! Always so helpful!!!
Been watching lots of videos on noise-cancelling and call quality headphones, and Rawan has some of the most thorough tests. The timestamps also help a lot so I can skip features I don't care about. SOMEONE GET THIS MAN MORE SUBSCRIBERS!
Thanks a lot for your comment! To be honest, it was an internal dilemma: brief and short or long and thorough. I opted for thorough + timestamps so people can hopefully skip to the parts that interest them. So I'm actually very glad to hear what you just said! ;) And starting a review channel in 2020, especially at tech one, is tough... but..will continue putting in the work, and hopefully subscribers will follow.. :) Thanks again for sharing your feedback, appreciated
@@RawansReviews It's personal preference ... I like cherry-picking certain features I care most about, but I want to be absolutely sure about those certain features. Good luck with the channel; tech is a crowded space but people tend to watch multiple videos when making a buying decision. TH-cam and reddit are my go-to's when researching a product; good production, thoroughness, and honesty always set the good ones apart.
The best review i've seen for these products
Thanks a lot, appreciated!
Excellent review! Thanks for the vid!
Glad you liked it, thanks for the comment!
Brilliant review. You deserve a lot more subscribers. Just keep up the work.
Thanks for your kind words, Pranav!
Very good review. Thanks!
Thanks for the great review! It helped me make a decision.
Very glad to hear that! Cheers
Thanks - after spending quite a lot surfing the net, this is what gives an ultimate answer to all questions I had about these headphones. This is actually the best headphones review I've ever seen!
Thanks a lot Alex. Really appreciate your motivating feedback!
@@RawansReviews Hi. I currently have the bose nc 700 (not the uc version). Do you think the bose usb link is really needed to have good call quality on a pc or laptop ? Did you see any noticeable difference, because I don't feel that my bluetooth connection with my laptop is bad when I use the bose nc 700 ?
@@babayaga2890 Hey there. If you have a decent Bluetooth module and a good connection, no complaints on bad calls, then you probably don't need the USB Link. You now can mute calls using the VA button, which wasn't initially possible), so even less reason to get the USB Link [when I first got the module, I couldn't even mute calls in MS Teams with the 700, which was one of the main reasons to get the USB Link]. Hope this helps!
@@RawansReviews Ok, so I think I will not add the bose usb link to my headphones. Its benefits would be inferior to its cost (which is relatively expensive). Thank you for you quick answer. Keep up the good work.
@@babayaga2890 my pleasure!
Ideal review! Thank you so much!
Thanks!
Marry me
Thanks for the review. I already have the BOSE NC700, but at times people interrupt me and say I sound robotic, and I've had general connection issues with the device. I use it on my MacBook, Windows laptop and Windows desktop and its normally been OK. But I wanted a dedicated work-from-home headset and thought these Jabra's would be an upgrade. Seems like I should look at the Evolve2 65 for just usage at home with top quality microphone clarity
Thanks for sharing that. Interesting enough, I’ve had people tell me the same lately, and I’m yet to figure out the root cause of this. Previously, there was issue with them being connected to my phone and laptop at the same time. Was reported by many users as well. But now I disconnect from phone and still get these comments sometimes, which is quite frustrating. Let me know if you end up figuring out the cause, and I’ll do the same ;) Cheers, Rawan
Good job with the testing voice call scenario
I think you really just like the Bose even before you started testing.lol
You're right, that is true! I even say that at 0:49 ;) I had finished uploading the Bose 700 review and I really liked that headset. But, wasn't sure it could replace the Evolve2 85 for office calls.. Cheers
True. Dont like his record quality too
Brilliant review. Thanks!
Thanks Marc!
Good review. I have a question - which headphones would you recommend for work at home, when there is noisy renovation around (drills - high tones, jackhammers - low tones, everything very loud and I will have it like this for the next year) I need headphones for phone calls and lots of video conferences - unfortunately in such terribly noisy conditions.I want my own comfort, to get away from those loud noises, and the comfort of the listener during conversations and video meetings. Which would be better Jabra or Bose or maybe some other?
I don't think there's any pair of headphones that would tick all your boxes, but having said that, I do believe the Bose 700 would tick the 'most' boxes... That is, it has stellar mic noise cancelation (so the other party can hear you well) and great active noise cancelation (so you can somewhat suppress background noises). But keep in mind that ANC does not do greatly with the variable noises (such as people yelling, etc...). It works best with low frequency and steady noises (like an airplane engine). So don't expect it to drown down completely all background noises. Nonetheless, especially if you have some music on, it should drown down most of the nuisances around you. So I do believe it will be the best one for your needs, giving you a combination of great active noise canceling as well as mic call quality.
Thanks for a great review. I wish you had gone into more detail about the ease of use/connectivity with a windows PC and how it works in videocalls. I'm considering these headphones solely because of their usb dongles and easier pairing with a windows PC. I have the Sony xm4s and they are useless at making teams calls while paired to a windows PC.
Hi there, thanks for your comment! Indeed this was subtly mentioned but perhaps could have been highlighted more prominently. They "work" without the dongle, but the dongle makes connectivity with PCs more consistent, easier, and faster---to the point that I sometimes have them off, and I only turn them on as soon as I'm receiving a Teams call. They turn on and connect within seconds, just in time for me to pick up the call.
A great review. Thanks for uploading. The best bluetooth headsets for calls in a busy office. Choice comes down to better noise cancelling with the bose or boom mic quality of the Jabra.
Thanks for your comment Simon. Yes, indeed, that's a pretty accurate summary ;)
Such high quality reviews, you deserve more subscribers!
Thanks a lot Samory! Only recently started, but trying to produce good content, learn along the way, and grow. Thanks for the encouragement--means a lot!
If he stopped with Peter piper he'd have much more. But he's not getting that it's enough with the PETER PIPER!!!!!DAMN IT ALREADY WITH IT!!!!!
Love the review! I have a large dog that will bark at times if the doorbell rings, thoughts on which one would make more sense?
Also, if I have the Bose on calls for 8 hours straight, how much would that effect the battery life! Thanks!
Thanks for your comment! I unfortunately have no dog to test this with. I wouldn't think any would completely cut the bark out, but I feel the Bose would do slightly better. I also haven't tested with 8 hours of straight calls, but you should be able to easily go through a full day of calls before needing to recharge.
This was a very nice review. But yes, you have already kind of decided which you wanted to win before starting, as you said. The Jabra also has some more "technical" things its good at and has the busy-lights and that stuff and the mute on boom-mic up and unmute on down + another mute-button ON the boom. So, for me this was a bit more difficult. I like the Bose, but value also the more "work-related" values that Jabra gives. And since I value the busy-light and some of the "techy" stuff the Jabra gives I have chosen the Jabra. Thank you for a very nice review. You did put in the work! Well done!
Thanks for the comment, glad you enjoyed the review!
Great review! I am leaning toward the Bose over the Jabra because they seem like the better overall headset. From strictly a work perspective I think the Jabra with the boom down is the best option as the voice sounds much louder than the Bose. The Bose will be the better overall headset longer term for uses other than work (movies, music, plane travel).
Did you notice any differences in your voice quality with the Bose as you changed the ANC settings? I'd have to imagine that the higher ANC setting number would start to dampen and soften your voice compared to the lower ANC settings. Thank you for any insight there!
Thanks for the feedback! And you are absolutely right, Jabra might be slightly better for strictly work perspective, but the Bose (in my opinion) is the better all-rounder.
As for your question about ANC settings: changing ANC has an effect on the sound *you are hearing, but not on what the 3rd party in a call hears. So the mics that are working to capture your voice and supress the background noises are firing on all cylinders regardless of your ANC setting (or if ANC is off alltogether). The only difference then, if you have ANC on the highest level, is that *you might be able to hear the other party better because you are hearing less background noise.
Hope this helps!
Fabulous review, your a gifted orator! I’m like many others confused on which to buy! Question; which one would be better for calls when walking outside on a regular street from the perspective of the person on the other end of the line?
Many thanks
Thanks for your comment! I would have to say with the Jabra, the clarity of your voice would probably be clearer, but it will be able to cancel less background noise. The Bose on the other hand would probably cancel out more background noise, but that would come at the expense of some voice clarity. Hope this helps!
@@RawansReviews thanks so much. Last question; I have a Sony 1000X3. It’s amazing for music but really average for calls. Would these two models be considerably better particularly outside? As that’s my main reason for the purchase - big thanks in advance
@@paulaitken280 Hi Paul. I've never personally tested the 1000 XM3 for calls outside, but from what I've heard and my experience, the Bose 700 would definitely be considerably better outside, and probably so would the Evolve2 85 (though it might not cut out as much of the background noises, I would believe your voice would still come through clearer because of the boom mic).
@@RawansReviews And you gave the point for clarity to Bose :). Sorry, had to say it.
The review comparison is on the next level
Thanks Jayson, glad you liked it!
Hi Rawan, great review! Do you know if the NC Bose 700 is compatible with the USB Link Bluetooth module? I checked with a sales rep at BOSE but I can't see any documentation anywhere regarding this. thanks
Thanks! Yes it is. The UC 700 is essentially the NC 700 + the USB Link Bluetooth adapter. Only difference is you have to manually pair it if you buy them separately, vs it being paired out-of-the-box if you buy the UC version.
every product review should be conducted do thoroughly ! great props to you sir
Thanks!
Thanks for detailed review. I recently bought Jabra Evolve2 75 and I can tell you its noise cancellation is second to none. I was on a Teams call on a busy street while a Harley Davidson passed by and no one on the call noticed the roar of Harley and neither that I was on a noisy street. Besides @ 5:42 Jabra Sound+ app has the variable noise cancellation feature.
I"m fascinated. I recently bought the same headset and the microphone was terrible. People constantly telling me they couldn't hear me. I switched back to my plantronics headset and it was immediately resolved.
I must have received a dud?
You definitely did. My 75’s are awesome and people tell me how clear my sound is.
Thanks for taking so much time to make these videos. I am comparing between Bose NC 700 (Non-UC Version) and EPOS Adapt 660 since I managed to find both of them at a similar price. My main use will be for taking a lot of calls on MS Teams, Zoom and Facebook Messenger and Occasional Music and Netflix. Which ones should I go for?
Thanks for your feedback and I'm glad you've enjoyed the videos! Unfortunately I have not personally tested the EPOS Adapt 660 and thus cannot give an informed opinion on them vs the Bose 700. What can I say, though, is that the EPOS 660 come with a Bluetooth dongle and the 700s don't. If your primary use is calls on Teams, etc, and you don't plan on purchasing the Bose USB Link (or the 700 UC version), then I would tend to favor headphones with a dongle (i.e EPOS 660) as that gives you a more stable connection with your PC, and better control over your calls. Hope this helps!
@@RawansReviews Sorry I forgot to mention that I have a Jabra Link 370 Dongle that came with my old Evolve 65's that I plan to use if I get the Bose 700s. Would that improve MS Teams call quality or should I still look into the EPOS 660's?
@@RaafiMMatin I did a quick test just now with the Jabra Link 370. I didn't feel it improved the quality, though my gut feeling says it might improve reliability as it bypasses your laptops built in Bluetooth. I will try to run a deeper test on those and perhaps make a separate video as well.
@@RawansReviews Thanks you so much mate for testing these out for me, this really helps a lot. After a lot of digging around, I somehow managed to get the NC700's at a cheaper price compared to the EPOS Adapt 660's, so had to quickly grab it before the prices went up again. I guess if it doesn't work out with the Jabra Link 370's Ill just wait for Bose to sell their UC Dongle's. But thanks again man, you are awesome.
@@RaafiMMatin Glad I was of help! Let me know if you end up liking the 700s ;) At this point, since you already have the Jabra Link 370, I guess you can try with it / with your laptop's Bluetooth and see which is better for you. I'm not sure why the Bose USB Link is no longer available for sale. Just a few weeks ago it was on sale on the Bose Pro website. Maybe reach out to Bose to see what's going on there. Cheers!
Hello!
Did anyone had the chance to test the UC on Linux?
As Linux suffers from BT issues that make wireless headphone useless when mic is also needed, I was wondering if using this dongle can solve the issue and Linux users finally enjoy wireless headphones with functioning mic
Is there any difference regarding noise cancellation , audio and call quality between Bose 700 UC and Boose 700? Thank you.
The headphones are exactly identical. There might be some differences in firmware, or in quality using the Bluetooth dongle vs your built in bluetooth (but less likely). But the headphones are physically identical. Hope this helps.
One of the finest review
Many thanks for your feedback, glad you liked it!
Great detailed review 👌. Waiting for comparison of Bose 700 uc with Sony XM4 🙂
Thanks for your feedback Rakshit! Would be great indeed to review them against the MX4, will try to see if I can get my hands on a pair of Sonys!
BTW, it's XM4 (not MX4) ;)
@@coulongesgregoire1946 Yes you are right- WI-1000XM4. Sony’s fault for adopting long and confusing names ;)
Thank you for the nice review. It could be helpful if you made an adjustment to the loudness differences when comparing audio products. It's kind of hard to sort out the quality differences from the amplitude differences. Ps. Your studio mic might need padding, heard some distortion during peaks (although just a few).
Thanks for your feedback! Completely agree this would make comparison much easier. My rationale for leaving them as such was to allow people to see what the gain on each headset mic was. But I see your point, and I agree, for a more fair quality comparison, adjusting loudness is better. Thank again for your feedback, appreciated!
@@RawansReviews Actually, you could include a part where you adjust for loudness to compare the intelligibility and then another part where you show the differences in gain. Might make your videos stand out even more, with a review point of view not covered that often.
@@MR-vj8dn That's an excellent idea, will definitely keep it in mind. Thanks for the suggestion!
How did you feel about the Jabra's mute button being on the end of the boom? Seems like you would make a ruckus every time you wanted to mute yourself?
Yup--not the best of placements for sure! Thankfully you could nudge the boom arm up and it'll mute, and that's what I always used instead.
Great Job... Thanks a lot
Thanks!
Is it possible to mute the microphone of the bose, while connected to a PC? In different fora it's mentioned this is not possible. This would be kind of a deal-breaker for using it for home working.
Yes you can. I believe it wasn’t possible at first, but likely Bose added it later with a firmware update. I can confirm it now does work on Teams, even when not using the USB dongle (direct Bluetooth connection to PC)
Very good review
Thank you foe your feedback!
How many playback devices USB present to the system? Separate headphone (stereo) and headset (mono)? Or just one playback device (stereo)
Can i play games (stereo) with it and then use mic? What i heard jabra will switch implicitly to HFP with mono. What about Bose? Do dongle use outdated HFP tech or own proprietary protocol?
Could you comment on these 2 headsets as wireless PC gaming devices? on some online games, in Windows, i wasn't able to map the QC35ii handsfree-audio into the game at all, and has to resort to wired connection.
whereas the Jabrah Evolve2 85 with its USB wireless adapter, I was able to map the mic and headset properly in game, although, still in the bluetooth "handsfree" low fidelity mode.
I'm very curious if the Bose 700 UC USB adapter circumvents the bluetooth only option and is able to map mic & headset in a game, and even more so, if its able to avoid the bluetooth handsfree mode altogether when chatting.
in particular a great game to try as an example was Borderlands 3 on steam. i could not get the bose headsets over bluetooth to allow me to chat in game at all after hours and days of troubleshooting.
but the jabra did with its usb dongle.
how does the bose 700 handle this?
can I add an in line audio control in both of this? ?specially if I want to put on mute easy and fast, also can I add a mic if I want on the bose 700?
I believe it should. Bose had an in-line audio cable for the QC 25. That should work, but I have never tried so cannot confirm 100%.
I have a small head and have a really hard time finding headphones that sit securely and don't fall off when I lean over. How do they fit someone with a smaller head?
Hi Mary. I don't exactly have a small head so unfortunately I can't say for sure. But, what I can say, both headsets are quite adjustable. And when I adjust them on their lowest settings, they seem to be pretty tight and I would believe should accommodate a smaller head quite well. Hope this helps!
Thank you for your complete review.. I have been searching the TH-cam for this.. My target is this Bose 700 UC & Jabra Evolve2 85 but still cannot decide it... Your test with hairdryer & vacuum cleaner definitely answer for my quest of headset for working at home.
Thanks for your comment! I'm glad my review was of help!
Hi Rawan, great review!! Could you please test the new 1.3.8 firmware for the Evolve2 85?
Details
• Updated: improved performance of earcup microphones
• Updated: improved handling of play/pause media
• Updated: improved sidetone level and response
• Updated: improved HearThrough level and response
• Performance and stability improvements
Thanks for the feedback! I'll try to test out the new firmware and report back. Cheers, Rawan
@@RawansReviewsHi, could you advise, if the tests was done via BT or dongle?
Great review man! Is it just me or does the jabra pick up voice way better without the boom mic enabled and just by using the ear cup mics?
I'm on the fence between these two headsets and need it solely for video conferencing (MS Teams, Google hangouts, zoom, Skype, etc) + audio calls over my android phone. For that purpose, which ones would you recommend?
Thanks for the feedback! The ear cup mics are more "sensitive", since they're much further from your mouth, they have to be. In a quiet environment, that might give the impression that they're louder or better. That being said, they're not that good at picking up your voice if there's any background noise. Personally, I almost always use the boom mic and never take the chance with the ear cup mics. I have noticed, though (and it's evident in the video), that once you extend the boom mic, it takes a second or two to pick up your voice properly.
As for your question: well it's a tough one! If you need it *solely for calls, then I would go for the Jabra. It's just a safer option I would say, and you know it will pick up your voice clearly no matter what may be happening in the background. And, if you use it for music, air travel, etc, you still get good audio and noise cancelation. With the Bose, while I do love it more as an all-rounder headset, I'm always on the edge if it's picking up my voice well enough. The presence of a boom mic on the Jabra is more reassuring ;) Call muting with various apps (Zoom for example) doesn't always work on the Bose. On the Jabra, muting happens on the headset itself, so it works on any app.
I would dare take this further--and this is only my impression and not a statement from either brand--but I feel the Jabra was designed to make calls first, and does a few other things well too. The Bose was designed as noise-canceling headphone, but does a few other things well too.
Hope this helps!
@@RawansReviews big thanks for the fast and detailed response. As I mentioned, I need it solely for video conferencing since I'm leading the calls every day for at least 4-5 hours.
Thanks again, you helped me a lot with my decision :)
How did the boom mic on the Jabra get worse than the non-boom mic of the Jabra?
Yes, I was surprised well. I found the earcup mics were clearer and more natural sounding in a quiet environment. But when you introduce any background noises, the boom mic is definitely far more superior.
I have used the Jabra Evolve 80 for the past 2 years and ANC and clarity is bar none the best.... Sticking with Jabra for home office calls and prospecting...
Those who don't know.. Mr. Amar Bose invented noise cancelling. He came up with the noise cancelling mathematics while on a plane from Europe to Boston. He wrote down the math on pieces of paper he got on the flight. The idea of cancelling sound with opposite sound was almost an impossible solution. Either the opposite generated sound had to be calculated in 0 time or the future sound disturbance had to be cancelled based on the past sound disturbance. It took Bose 15 years and 50 million USD to develop this technology. And today the noise cancelling feedback loop circuit is taught in most engineering colleges including mine in Mumbai.
Thanks for sharing this info!
Is it just me, or does the boom mic seam really bad compared to other options on the Jaba? This seems totally counter intuitive as i would expect to improve quality on using a boom close to my mouth....
Thank you for your comment! The boom mic took a second or two before it kicked in properly, but I wouldn't say it's worse than the ear cup mics! True, though, the ear cup mics do sound louder, but the boom mic sounds clearer. Not to mention, with the introduction of any ambient sounds, the ear cup mics struggle big time, but the boom mic is still able to pick up your voice clearly.
A fringed offered me to buy his brand new jabra for 150$. He has got them for free from his job but have no use for them. I will not use them in office environment, only at home listening to music. Should i aim for the bose instead even though I’ve got a quite good deal?
I would try to find a 2nd hand Bose then. If you find that at a good price, might be a better option for your needs
Just got my bose headphones 🎧 incredible
Was the Jabra running the latest firmware? The boom mic sounded really bad in this, and seems like they have improved this with an update...
Thanks for your comment. At the time of that review, they were, but you are right Jabra have since released newer firmware updates. I find that while the boom mic results in picking up my voice clearly, it's not very crisp..
@@RawansReviews I had to send the bose 700's back because of the clamping force (and the dongle not being available as of yet, so it didnt work well ( no mute) with teams). I am considering getting the Jabra's evolve2 85 or sticking with 2 headsets (DECT for meetings/QC35 for music)
@@koendecroo With their latest firmware update on the 700s, you can now mute on Teams without the dongle, just like you would mute on a regular phone call. I still like the dongle though because I like to always know if I'm on mute or not with the red light. Regarding the Evolve2 85: it's a solid headset, especially if you want to cut down to only 1 for calls and music. If you'd like to hear more about how the boom mic sounds, I did a more recent review with several headsets. Here's the part of the Evolve2 85: th-cam.com/video/Im29jB8Matk/w-d-xo.html. Hope this helps!
@@RawansReviews I have just hit 'order' on the Evolve2 85. Will let you know how I fare ;)
I had the latest firmware on the Bose and unfortunately the mute didnt work (it triggered Siri on my phone even) when I was connected to a call in teams... I didn't find the 700s comfortable or worth the upgrade over de qc35.
@@koendecroo The 35s are, for me, one of the most comfortable headphones I’ve tried. And I agree the 700s don’t match their comfort at all. Good luck with the Evolve2 85, do let me know how that goes. Cheers!
Very interesting that the sound quality of the boom mic is worse than the earcup mics of Jabra Evolve2 85 in the quiet environment. It looks as if a strong NC algorithm kicks in as soon as the boom mic is down even when NC is not needed.
Absolutely right. The ear cup mics sound more natural and clearer in a quiet environment (but of course struggle in a noisy one where then, the boom mic wins easily).
Not sure if the Jabra Evolve2 85 let us to mute and unmute the mic while in a pc conversation on Teams o Google Meet or Zoom.
For sure I can confirm that the Bose doesn’t work on Windows machine but it does on MacOS, as this is an important for for me, I would give another point to Jabra ;-)
Yo!!! This IS Hard Work absolutely Comprehensive. Sounds like Jabra is Louder and better without the boom mic but the Bose is natural like you said and consistent.
Maybe I’m biased, cos I have the Bose... 👍🏾👊🏾✌🏾🇳🇬🇺🇸
Thanks for your feedback, appreciated man.
I don't think that the blow dryer test was performed on equal footing.. With the Jabra you had the blow dryer very close to the boom mic and with the Bose 700 you held the blow dryer in the same position when to be far should have been closer to the beam forming mics on the Bose.
Very fair point Jack. Though I *feel it would not have made that big a difference, but very fair point. I'll make sure to pay more attention to that in the future ;) Cheers!
Bose has no chance with Jabra in terms of call quality, let's remember that the clarity is the most important for bussines, I would give 2 points for it to Jabra because this is completely different level comparing to Bose.
what microphone are you using for this video? Thanks
Hi there. I'm using the MXL 2006 here (with some basic EQ applied in post).
Personal taste, I suppose, but I like,the looks of the jabra better.
The Jabra's have a more classic look, and many people actually prefer that--so makes sense!
I can't believe I watched this man say peter piper that many times lol
does bose have a mute button?
Hi. The Virtual Assistant button acts as a mute button when you are in a phone call. If you're connected with the USB Link, then tapping and holding on the touch area activates mute when you're in a MS Teams call.
I think you went into the test biased against Jabra. I think the voice on the Jabra was far superior. I own both and I will only use Jabra on calls. I do use Bose for entertainment.
Really surprised that in a quiet room, the Jabra ear-cup mics were actually better than the boom mic.
Yes, surprisingly, the ear cup mics do sound more natural in a quiet environment. I felt the boom mic makes my voice sound a little bit "robotic", as if it's coming out of an old telephone. But, in a noisy environment, the ear cup mics really struggle.
Bose 700 vs 700 uc
What’s different?
They're the same headset. Only difference is that the 700 UC comes with the Bose Bluetooth USB adapter.
@@RawansReviews Then how about sound's quality difference??
No difference?
@@user-kj9ft1sg5k The benefit of the Bluetooth adapter is to provide a stable connection to your PC, along with a few other functionalities (like call muting). The sound quality would be the same I would say unless you have a bad Bluetooth connection with your PC.
@@RawansReviews xD
Your clearly wanted Bose to be better is evident and stated. You only give a point to Jabra if you give a point to Bose. While I use both, I know You clearly lean one direction in your review and since this is the first review I have seen, I will give a point to your bias view and avoid any further of your reviews as I would rather watch a clear unbiased review.
I appreciate your feedback Randy. While I do try to remain objective in evaluating them, I also do give my subjective opinion, and I stated it up front that I do prefer the Bose as an all-rounder headset. That’s not to say the Jabra is not a worthy contender-it even outshines the Bose in some areas. But the Bose does remain my favorite all-rounder headset. Since you mention you use both, I am interested to hear your own thoughts on both of them though! Or maybe which particular points do you disagree with? Thanks again for taking the time to share your feedback. I will keep it in mind and try be more objective in evaluating products in the future. Cheers
yes he clearly did..
Over all the Jabra boom down is best. But if you want something with no boom, then it’s the Bose.
You currently cannot even buy the Jabra Evolve2 85. No one has one for sale that is a uc.
geez whats with the Peter piper and the pickles...
The Bose 700 UC has too many flaws with the USB link, giving the Jabra the edge.
I am sorry but I owned a pair of Bose and no way in hell was this the same call quality I was getting. The people on the other end always were able to hear everything in the background, my keys in my hands, cars passing etc.. It was very frustrating. I am looking for a nice pair that works great in an office environment where there will be a lot of calls made. I felt that the sonys xm3/4 bose and all those fancy brands don't help there at all.
I'm surprised to hear that. My experience with the Bose has been great with mic quality in noisy environments, but of course it can't do magic--so there are things it cannot cancel out. Were you updated to the latest firmware? For your case, if wireless is not a necessity, perhaps look into some wired options with a dedicated boom mic? Good luck either way!
Wow, the boom mic on the Jabra is very disappointing 😟
"I prefer the Bose, point for Bose"
The world has gone totally headphone crazy $380
Bose 700 amazing IF you ever figured it out the Bluetooth connection otherwise they are the BIGGEST POS Bose ever made....... a $400 headphone with able to use , even the Service tech have not idea what is going on !
There's no way I would ever spend $380 on a pair of headphones
This man is definitely paid or sponsored by Bose. It's clear he made this comparison as a form of advertisement, essentially saying, "Hey people, let's go and grab Bose."
I am neither paid nor sponsored by Bose ;)
I hate listening but sky this guy the way talks
Try watching on mute! How are your lip-reading skills?
This test for call quality is completely incorrect.
I have tested the Jabra, and purely from a call quality perspective it's by far superior than the Bose NC700. It's not even close.
No one in their right mind would use Bose NC700 for business calls over the Jabra.
Please stop misleading users as call quality is king on Jabra and for music and entertainment Bose would be your choice.
Watch videos from sources such as headset advisor which is a more reliable source for call quality related videos.
This guy clearly is Bose fan to begin with..
Jabra is way better for calls.
Can you hear it? The Jabra sounds better in calls especially with the mic. This is the most biased review I have seen. shame
Wtf. Is it me or did jabra sound horribly worse with the boom mic
He has an accent
Review is very subjective. I myself is trying to choose between both models but this video is screaming bose. Too bias.
Stop with Peter piper. You're very cruel... You're selfish... very bad character you Have.....disgusting....
Very good review. Thanks!
Thanks, glad you liked it!
