I bought the QC45's right after Christmas, just returned them for 700's. The 45's were great, except had major sound leakage. People around me were both distracted and somewhat annoyed. The 700's seem to be much better. This is an aspect that no one seems to mention in reviews.
Thanks for taking the time to watch the video and letting us know your point of view! Sound leakage is an important factor and something i will definitely include in future reviews.
cheers mate was desperatly trying to find more reviews about sound leakage since i work at a office with my coworkers not too far from me. is it still noticable at a decend audio level or can you comfartably put music a bit louder without anyone noticing ?
@@MacMadnessx I appreciate you taking the time to watch the video. I started placing sound leakage in my newer videos and all sound tests going forward. The Bose QC45 headphones do not do well with sound leakage. That’s one of the few faults with them. The Bose 700 headphones handle sound leakage pretty good. At 50% volume the QC45 headphones leak a lot… You really can’t hear the Bose 700 headphones at 50%. Hope this helps and don’t be a stranger!
@@mvarner46540 alright thanks man, hyped to test it out, currently have the galaxy buds pro but they hurt like hell for longer periods of time. think over ear is still better for now
I have finally brought qc45 after long dilemma between purchasing Sony wh1000xm4 or Bose qc 45 …. Believe me qc45 is all you need and more than that ..you name it whether the call quality ,Noice cancellation. And the music 🎶 in it is just fantabulous and deliciously served to ears…very wide sound stage ,deep bass, and clarity of vocals is just ❤️… it’s a king in headphones market in 2022 according to me
The QC45 headphones are a great pair of headphones! Especially since they have been updated with a EQ and better noise cancellation. One of the best in the market. I appreciate you taking the time to watch and share your thoughts!
The QC45s have gotten a huge update back in February brining an equalizer to the app for them and also a really impressive update to the ANC which is now better than the 700s and the Sony XM4s and I saw one comparison between the QC45s and XM5s and it kinda beats the XM5s as well surprisingly. The QC45s do sound better than the 700s or the Sony headphones, which have way too much bass. The QC45s have clearer highs and mids and a slightly tighter bass. To me and other audiophiles it sounds better even than the AirPods max, but then again, not everyone is an audiophile and knows what music should sound like but I know that sound is subjective because in reality most people like a ton of bass and a V shaped sound signature which either the Sony headphones or the Sennheisers or AirPods Max have to please the masses. Bose doesn’t try to please the masses with the QC45, they just made the most music accurate sounding and most comfortable ANC headphones money can buy. If you want more bass or a more V shaped sound signature or ear pads that burn your ears after 30 min of usage then look somewhere else.
Thanks for taking the time to watch both videos! The update helped the QC45 headphones a lot. I’m working on the QC45 vs Sony XM5 headphones video as we type and will be looking at the noise cancellation, transparency, and so forth with the updated info. You’re right, sound is very subjective and I’ll going over who the respective headphones are for based on sound and features. I can’t comment on the noise cancellation too much yet, still working on it as we type, but the QC45 headphones have definitely been improved. The Sony XM5 are a pair of headphones that need to be adjusted with the EQ to make them sound good and I’m not talking about the general V shaped sound that people generally hear with commercial headphones. Once you really take the time to tune the XM5, they sound good, really good. Not many people will want to go in and adjust the EQ too much, but people that are really into audio understand and don’t mind doing these things. I hope you take the time to watch the QC45 vs SONY XM5 video and let us know your thoughts there as well. I really appreciate you taking the time to watch both videos and sharing your thoughts!
As a 700 user, one major gripe is the design of retraction. The very act of retracting or extending the headphones cause scratches. So much so that they feel like they've been used for 5-6 years. So don't buy the chrome/white one to minimise that. Also this and the qc45 are to be used in non sweaty environments or be prepared to swap out the pads every 6-18 months depending on your salt levels. But I still stick to it more than my airpod max is the comfort. Both this and qc45 (my mom's) are headphones you can wear for hours. Unlike the airpod max.
I was on the fence between the 45's and the 700's (just sold my Sony XM5's due to being too uncomfortable for longer periods of wearing). I read and watched about every review there is, but after yours, I am sold on the 45's. Call quality doesn't matter to me, and everything else just seems to fit my usecase better.
I went with the QC45, I know you get this often but I must say your videos are exceptional, You do a fantastic job in your reviews! You are extremely knowledgeable and very well spoken and I will definitely revisit your channel!
Thanks for taking the time to watch the video! Your comment definitely helps me stay motivated. I truly appreciate you taking the time leave a comment like this. The Bose QC45 headphones are a great pair of headphones. It really depends on what the user is looking for. Some prefer big bass, while others prefer a balanced sound from their headphones. I’m sure you’ll be very satisfied with your purchase. Once again I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment! We have more coming very soon!
Professional and to the point, great presentation, thanks for your hardwork that has been put behind it and helped me to make my purchase decision for bose 700. Enjoyed watching video till end. Yes and Bose should thank you in this as I came to know it has ipx4 rating after watching your presentation, hence making the purchase lot easier, 🍻
Thanks for taking the time to watch the video! It seems the IPX4 rating isn’t known to a lot of people. I’m glad the video was able to help. The Bose 700 headphones are a great pair of headphones, I’m sure you will love them! I really appreciate you acknowledging the effort that went into the video and watching the video through the end! Don’t be a stranger!
I use bose 700 at work since 2019 every single day, now have changed cushions, still very good , durability one of the best, battery still can last 16-17 hours, noise cancelling good, controls the best in market
Thanks for taking the time to watch! The Bose 700 are a really good pair of headphones. I’m hoping they “wow” us with the next generation! Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts!
Wow, being primarily looking for a headset to do professional calls (many hours a day) and less interested by the perfect sound for listening music, I think the 700 clearly kills the QC45 (around 8:10) on call quality in a noisy environment (right?). I think this is also your point when you summarize after these tests on the better NC for the 700. Thanks a lot for this perfect review.
I appreciate you taking the time to watch the video! Yes, the 700 headphones are hands down the winner in call quality, especially in noisy environments! The 700 headphones sound really good as well. The QC45 headphones sound good, but the 700 headphones have a built in EQ that can make them sound the same or however you need them to be. It a great pair of headphones! I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment. Don’t be a stranger!
One of very few reviews with some real guitar crunch in the sound test - I listen to a lot of metal and hard rock, so this was very informative and helpful. Thank you!!! QC45s seemed to sound cleaner, sharper, crunchier - is that an accurate impression?
Thanks for taking the time to watch! The QC45 are definitely more cleaner than the NC700 (especially since the update with the EQ). The NC700 headphones are due for a refresh. I’m hoping they give us something special. I would definitely buy the QC45 over the NC700 for sound. I hope this helps!
Listening to the noise cancelling section of your video, I found the 700s annoying as the sound filtering through seemed to concentrate on the left side. This would drive me crazy. In the 45s it was more balanced. Thanks for this review and for doing the noise cancellation demonstration. I think I will pick the 45s. I really hope they will help with bass from music as I am autistic and this is my biggest problem, working and travelling in environments where people turn up the bass. It is really stressing me to the point where I am nauseous.
Thanks for making this video. I was torn between the two but the ANC and better water repellent of the 700 won me over. I live in Denmark where it's raining a lot so that form of durability is important.
I appreciate you taking the time to watch and sharing your thoughts! I try to make sure people know what they are getting. The water resistance on the Bose 700 has come in handy quite a few times for me. The QC45 has been updated with an EQ and slightly better noise cancellation. But the Bose 700 has been more durable, the water resistance has been great, and the ability to adjust the noise cancellation has been wonderful. Call quality is also a lot better on the 700 as well. I appreciate you taking the time to watch and glad it helped!
Thanks for taking the time to watch the video! Comments like this keep me motivated. I really appreciate you taking the time to watch and share your thoughts!
Thank you for this comparison. Your time and effort to provide your review is very much appreciated. I have had the QC 25 over ear wired headphones for 20+ years and still going strong. Ive had to replace the ear pads twice. I use my headphones daily for hours at a time. I absolutely love them. They are so very comfortable and adjust easily for me. Some of the wider bands on current models dont adjust well and have a tendency to slide off my head. I like the slimmer temple piece on the 700 as it wont interfer with glasses. I'm not a fan of wireless . I much prefer simple and uncomplicated. Having to remember which button to push or how many clicks it takes for which ever mode i need at the time is stressful . 13:55 nt
The QC45 headphones are definitely in my rotation of headphones to use due to comfort and noise cancellation. I’m glad you like them. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the headphones with us!
Great review sir. I love the fact you gave the info that the Bose 700 has an IPX4 rating. Not a lot people that. I like the sound signature of Bose 700 better than QC 45. The only I do not like about the bose 700 is connectivity with my Samsung phone.
I appreciate you taking the time to watch. The Bose 700 headphones are a great pair of headphones. I don’t think I heard anyone talk about the IPX4 rating either… The Samsung issue is a big thing. Samsung and Bose really need to work this out… I saw a post where someone said to uninstall the UE application (UE Boom) and the headphones were working great for them. I appreciate you taking the time to comment, don’t be a stranger!
@@FCGLITCHES thanks for taking the time to watch the video! It appears there is a Bluetooth bug with some of Samsung’s devices. There are posts on Samsung’s forums where people talk about this. I personally have not had issues yet… but I switch devices a lot. I really hope they are looking at this because there are a lot of Samsung devices out there and people want answers…
Awesome review, pal. Thanks. I am still considering the QC45. But I just wished they would add a high, low, and off ANC mode on the QC45 just like the predecessor. Once that's added, I will definitely buy them. Not very fond of touch controls and not foldable headphones. Let us see if they fix this before the new year. :) PS. I felt the sound was a bit more clear on the QC45, especially on the Original Love track by Benj Heard.
Welcome back. The QC45 is a great pair of headphones. You have to remember the highs, mids, and lows were set to zero for the 700 headphones in this video. I could have easily made the 700 headphones sound like the QC45 or adjusted them as I wanted them. I agree, I have no idea why they did not add the ability to adjust the noise canceling. That would have made a big difference, along with the equalizer… The QC45 headphones are great headphones and if they add the features you mentioned, would be great. I appreciate you taking the time to watch the video!
@@DelonteM You are welcome, pal. I suspect Bose wants to promote their ideal product, NC 700. Rumors about that go around Reddit and the internet. I feel the same. They have downgraded the QC45 to make people buy the NC700. I can't really see any good reason for not adding the same features as Nc700, especially the option of turning the ANC off, which is an obligatory option that must be on every premium headphone.
@@zirak93-2 Yea, I just hope the NC 700 generation 2 is going to be a good upgrade! They need to add the sensor that automatically turns off the music and maybe upgrade the NC if possible… The QC45 does need a few more features, I think they made this to satisfy the Bose fan that didn’t like the NC 700 headphones. A lot of those guys still want at least the features from the QC35II… We will see how this plays out. You know I’ll be doing the 700 Mark II as soon as they come out, I’m kind of excited to see what give us! I just thought of a few videos to make on this topic…
Thanks for taking the time to watch! The update on the QC45 has been great. It now has an EQ and better noise canceling. This video was uploaded before the update occurred.
I own the Bose 700 since 2020 and I'm very happy with it. However, once the leather ear pads start to wear off, replacement parts are expensive AND ineffective. They will do whatever they can to persuade you into buying hardware, obviously.
I appreciate you taking the time to watch the video! Replacement ear pads can be pretty expensive. There are some third party ear pads on Amazon, but I don’t know how good they are though. I should get some for testing and post the results 🤔.
I’m stuck between the 700s and Sony xm4. I don’t even listen to music very often but I want them for purely noise cancelation. I’m autistic and mostly wanting them to silence background noises in my home or public places. I have a smaller head as well and the Sonys felt like they were resting on my jaw too much
Thanks for taking the time to watch the video! The Bose QC45 has excellent noise cancellation. We should be hearing about the new generation of Bose 700 headphones soon, it’s been a little while… The QC45 headphones have been updated with better noise cancellation and a EQ to adjust the sound of the music better. I would look at the Bose QC45, the Sony WH 1000XM5, or the Bose 700 for really good noise cancellation. I hope this helps!
Yes it does. You can now adjust the sound of the QC45 headphones and that has been a big improvement to me. I appreciate you taking the time to watch the video!
Thanks for taking the time to watch the video! If we are looking at sound alone, the QC45 headphones wins by a very small margin. You also have the ability to use the headphones without a charge. The Bose 700 control sound leakage a lot better and you can adjust how much noise cancellation you need. I find myself grabbing the Bose 700 more often than the QC45 headphones, but let us know which you went with and how you liked them when you get either!
yu're the greatest comparisor ever, maaaan i'm choosing between this models for a week ( i hear 45s in Store but can't find 700 in my city) and try to fing good comparison between this models. Yo're save my money bro, thanks a lot. THANKS A LOT!! P.S. I BUY 45, 2 DAYS BEFORE WATCH THIS VIDEO, LIKE I FEEL IT))
Great video, You deserve a lot more subscribers. When I started watching the video I thought this would be 100k+ subscribers channel. The editing is amazing, keep up the good work👍
I appreciate you taking the time to watch the video! Comments like this definitely let me know I’m on the right track. The channel will get there, I’m just glad to be able to make videos people like. I really appreciate your comment, don’t be a stranger!
Thank you for this review. I was sure I was looking at the 700s until this review and now I am a bit stumped. I primarily want headphones for overall music quality and I am coming from the Bose QC15. I do like the list of features of the 700 but when I heard the overall sound quality comparison at the end of your video between the 45’s and the 700, I was taken back. Again, I am listening through an older pair of QC15s but the 45 sound was superior to the 700 which sounded weaker and less vibrant. Can this be? Or is comparing the two sounds through QC 15s not a good idea?
Thanks for taking the time to watch the video! The QC45 headphones do sound better or more vibrant. You have to remember the NC 700 headphones can be adjusted by the EQ on the app. The 700 headphones was played at 0 highs, 0 lows, and 0 mids to make the comparison fair, but it didn’t show how it sounds when you adjust it because people have different taste in music. You can easily adjust the sound to get the QC45 sound quality or change it to make the music sound the way you like. You would have to get a third party EQ for that on the QC45 headphones. The 700 headphones can be tweaked and has the features. I would recommend the QC45 headphones to the person who does not like the 700 headphones at all. I hope this helps and thanks again for taking the time to watch the video! Don’t be a stranger!
Delont'e M. Ok cool, just to confirm. I can adjust the 700 to sound as good if not better than the 45. I want the best sounding headphones first, features second. If this is the case, I’m comfortable with the 700s thanks again
@@tornagain The Bose 700 headphones can be customized to your liking using the equipped EQ. So in my opinion, that would be the headphones to go for when comparing these two. I hope they add this feature to the QC45, but you can get a third party EQ as well… Overall, the NC 700 headphones offer more value over the QC45 headphones. I would go to a store and try them out. I’m sure the Bose store will allow you to play with the app and pick the right one. Let us know which one you decide to go with!
I appreciate you taking the time to watch the video! I very much so appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts as well. Comments like this help me see what is working and how to proceed. Thanks again!
The QC45 is a louder pair of headphones. The Bose 700 headphones does a better job at controlling sound leakage, has adjustable noise canceling, and the highs aren’t pushed forward as they are with the QC45 headphones, but the QC45 headphones are louder and uses the buttons instead of gestures. The QC45 headphones are also a little bit more comfortable, although you shouldn’t have issues with either in longer listening sessions. Bose is generally really good in that dept. Both are nice headphones, but the Bose 700 takes the win when it comes to features and sound.
Thanks for taking the time to watch the video! There has been an update to the QC45 headphones that has improved the noise cancellation and provides an EQ. The QC45 is a tough pair of headphones to beat now…
Wow! Production quality is top notch!! I was expecting 10 mil subs when I scrolled down. I have a questions for you. If all I do is wear headphones for 3-4 hrs at a time with no music but ANC turned on, and probably set to max, which pair of headphones would be more comfortable for me?
Thanks for taking the time to watch the video! Neither of these headphones would give you a problem. The QC45 is slightly more comfortable, but the NC 700 headphones have all the features (even the ability to adjust the noise cancellation). I have worn both for hours and both are very comfortable for the situation you described. The QC45 would be more comfortable by a small amount though. I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment, don’t be a stranger!
@@DelonteM Thanks for the quick reply! I had a feeling the QC 45 would be more comfortable. But what about cabin pressure? Was there a clear difference between the two, or were they both quite similar?
@@mutasimrahman6833 I have taken the NC 700 headphones to the sky and the headphones do very well with cabin pressure (one of the best). I still have to take the QC45 headphones to the skies to test it out. The cafe and airplane test was simulated to get an understanding of high vs low noise. I’ll definitely update the video to discuss the QC45 cabin pressure test.
@CCN PNDA I seen the beginning portion of your last message. It was taken down for some reason… I know you asked about being able to control the bass an such on the Bose headphones. The Bose 700 allows you to make changes to the bass, treble, and mids. The QC45 headphones received an update a little while ago that allows for the same adjustments. This has been really good for the QC45 headphones, you can now make the headphones sound the way you need them to sound. I hope I covered the question.
Thanks for taking the time to watch the video! In my opinion, the Bose 700 headphones sound better. Especially since you can tweak the sound to your liking with the included app. If you’re looking for bass as well as crisp highs, while maintaining the mids, the Bose 700 does a better job in my opinion. You can get a third party EQ app to make changes to the QC45, but if you’re looking at using the headphones as intended, without spending the extra funds, the Bose 700 headphones are the headphones to get. I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment. Don’t be a stranger!
Hello, really great vid ^^ I have a quick question for the nc700. When I walk or shake my head, i hear a clanking noise due to the fact that the cups aren't property fitted to the metal structure so they are a bit wobbly. Do you also have this "issue" or should i return them?
Thanks for taking the time to watch the video! The NC 700 headphones will rattle in the hand due to the way it is built. The ear cups are done in a way to fit a variety of head types. I feel they could have come up with something better and I hope they do for the next generation of Bose 700 headphones. If you rigorously shake your head with no music playing you may hear a slight clicking sound. You should not be hearing the sound under normal shaking. If you are hearing the noise just by walking or normal shaking, I would exchange them for a new pair before your warranty runs out. I hope this helps. I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment. Don’t be a stranger!
Dude that was one of the best TH-cam vids I’ve ever seen….you should review everything from burgers to sneakers to toilet paper etc etc!!! Would make life decisions much easier!
Thanks and I I appreciate you taking the time to watch! Comments like this let me know I’m headed in the right direction with the videos. I really appreciate you taking the time to share this comment!
@@DelonteM I’m heading Best Buy later to pick up the 700’s…. No wait q45…. 700’s….. q45….700’s (I’ll let you know… I’m sorry I’m not using your site but I’d like to get them today)
I go to the gym a lot and was never a big fan of the in-ear earphones. I much prefer headphones. I’ve been contemplating if I should get QC45 ($300+)or the latest Beats by Dre Studio 3 (Black Friday Sale $160). I have previously used QC35 for the last 2 years in the gym and held up pretty great. But QC45 now has a leather headband compared to the suede from the QC35. Not sure if it will peel the same way the ear pads do. Not sure which headphone to go for. Beats By Dre Studio 3 vs QC45
Thanks for taking the time to watch the video! I would recommend you check out the beats studio headphones for working out. I generally tell people to check out the beats studio or the Sennheiser line for the gym. I feel the same, the headband may not hold to well in sweat conditions. Even the noise canceling 700 headphones would be a better option. Check out the beats for the gym. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment. Don’t be a stranger!
@@TarynMilnes1 Thanks for taking the time to watch the video! The Sennheiser PXC 550 is another pair of headphones I recommend for the gym. These two (beats studio and PXC 550) perform really well in a gym environment.
I've just purchased the QC45 headsets and am very happy with them. Great sound and comfort. However I cannot get them to work with Bluetooth on my Windows7 PC. There seems to be a problem with Drivers and "Googling" provides only confusion. No answers. Bluetooth works with Sony WH-CH150. QC45's work well on on Bluetooth via iPad.
Thanks for taking the time to watch and sharing this information! Hopefully this helps anyone looking to purchase the QC45 with a Windows 7 PC. I’m also hoping someone reads this and can help you get it to work. I appreciate you sharing your experiences!
Great video! I can't decide between the two! Right as I decide on one, I find something better about the other. I have a smaller head, does one have more clamping force than the other?
Thanks for taking the time to watch the video! Both are very comfortable to wear for long listening sessions, the QC45 headphones are a little more comfortable. The Bose 700 controls sound leakage a lot better than the QC45 headphones. I don’t think you could go wrong with either, the Bose 700 allows you to adjust the noise cancellation and they both have the ability to adjust the sound as needed (the QC45 headphones received an update with an EQ). Do you like the telescoping arms or do you want them to fold? I hope this helps a little bit…
@@DelonteM Totally does help, I actually am going with the NC 700's because I got them for $130 cheaper than their retail (there's a refurbished option)
@@estellahassrick3407 Thanks for getting back to us! I appreciate you taking the time to let us know your thoughts and I’m glad you were able to get them at a good price. I switch out headphones a lot, but these are definitely in my rotation. Thanks again for taking the time!
How's the volume of both? So far, nothing touches Bluedio UFO Headphones. And they are very difficult to find because the manufacturer quit making them. I'm telling you, Bluedio UFO Headphones are the best. The volume on the UFOs are so great that you really don't need noise canceling. I'm trying to get a second pair now just to have a backup pair.
Hey...Thanks for the video and hats off to the edit it looks very proffessional....Do you still feel that Bose 700 are still relevant in 2021 ? (I am planning to buy bose but confised b/w qc 45 and 700)(My use will be more for travel , listening music and taking office related calls )
Thanks for taking the time to watch the video! Yes, the Bose 700 headphones are very relevant on 2021. I have a video answering that exact question, lol. The design and features are an par with a lot of other headphones. The only thing I would say is they need to add the sensor that stops the music when you take off the headphones, other than that, they are a solid pair of headphones. The music sounds good, this is one of the best headphones for taking office calls, and they do very well with airplane cabin/travel. I appreciate you taking the time to watch, welcome to the team!
I appreciate you taking the time to watch the video! I was thinking about doing a review on The Bose 700 with the charging case, Let us know your thoughts on the case when you get it!
@@DelonteM will let u know in about 24 hours. I hope I can figure out how to integrate this one into my Apple walled unicorn garden of an office, that's my biggest worry. I've got M1s and the BT just sucks with anything from Apple, so far. Sure, I connect "seamlessly" to all my devices like unwanted voodoo every time I walk into the room, but can't anything hold a stable single when I turn my head? Nothing here so far. Best!
@@oldnepalihippie I look forward to hearing your thoughts! So far it has been good with my Apple ecosystem. Siri was really thought out on the headphones, dedicated button, instant response, things like that. I’m sure you’ll love the headphones when you receive them. I am very interested in hearing your thoughts on the case though.
@Delont'e M. omg all i can think of saying is F apple! These Bose 700s are so so much better than the Airpod Pros, hands down. and i should do a review of all things others have gotten wrong or missed on this tech wonder (but that's not my thing). I got the 700s with the battery case, so there Apple! Adds lots of hours on the road, no doubt. That vs. the diminutive battery life on the Airpods, and don't get me started on the subpar sound, compared to the Bose. Can't wait to get the USB dongle to make the range go from two rooms to more!
@@oldnepalihippie I appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts! The Bose 700 headphones are a really good pair of headphones. In this video the EQ was set to 0 on the lows, mids, and highs. There was no way I could adjust the music for everyone’s taste in music. The user has the ability to adjust the sound and that is where the magic is! I plan to do an AirPods Max vs Bose 700 video shortly! I really want to see who has the better call quality and sound. I really appreciate you taking the time to write this, I may grab the case and do a review as well.
Thanks for taking the time to watch! The PX7 S2 headphones are the way to go here. The PX7 S2 have the latest tech and sound really good. The PX7 S2 are one of the best pairs of headphones you can get under $500. I would get the Bose 700 if you plan to work out a lot, the 700 headphones has the IPX4 rating for sweat and splash. I’m thinking Bose will be releasing a newer version soon, it’s been a while with the 700 headphones… I hope this helps!
Some say the size of the space for ear is larger in QC45. Is the difference in size of the space big? Did you feel the 700 are noticeably smaller headphones?
No, there isn’t a noticeable difference in the ear size. Both headphones are very comfortable. I have listened to both for extended listening times. You have the features in one and the ability to listen without a charge in the other. You can also adjust the sound of the 700 headphones as well. I know a few people with one or the other and neither complain about comfort. I appreciate you taking the time to watch!
Thanks for taking the time to watch! The update was a major improvement for the QC45 headphones. Both are really good at what they do. It really depends on what you’re looking for in a pair of headphones. I honestly don’t think you can go wrong with either!
Thanks, I appreciate you taking the time to watch! The QC45s are a good pair of headphones. I agree, adding the EQ would take it to the next level. They should at least bring the features from the QC35II to the QC45. I appreciate you taking the time to comment.
Hello Delont'e M, thank you very much for your good reviews and professionalism in your videos. I am somewhat undecided between buying the Bose NC 700 or the Philips Fidelio L3. My doubt is not so much in the ANC part (certainly the Bose NC 700 is excellent in that line), the most important part for me is the audio quality (soundstage and instrument details) I like to listen to a lot of Jazz Fusion, Rock and some Metal genres, as well as some Rap Metal and 80's Pop. What would be your recommendation to buy between the Bose NC 700 and the Philips Fidelio L3?, Thanks…And now you have a new subscriber to your channel👍🏻
Thanks for taking the time to watch the video! I honestly have never tried the Philips Fidelio L3 headphones. I may have to get those headphones in the studio and do a review. The Bose 700 headphones are a solid pair of headphones. Top three adjustable noise canceling, EQ standard with the app, all day listening with no ear fatigue, and the audio quality is one of the best for general everyday headphones. The Bose 700 headphones will not have a problem with any of the genres listed. You will not regret the Bose 700 headphones, but I will need to reserve my comment until I test out the L3 headphones. I appreciate you taking the time to watch the video and comment. Welcome to the team!
@@DelonteM Thank you very much Delont'e M for your nice advice. In the end I decided to buy the Bose NC 700 headphones, waiting for them to arrive next Monday to enjoy them properly. Thanks again and I sincerely hope you have a great weekend my friend😀🌟🎄👍🏻

Thanks for taking the time to watch the video! The QC45 headphones were updated to have an EQ included. That has made a big difference for me! You can adjust the sound to how you want them to be. Let us know what you think if you get them!
Honest opinion - truly amazing headphones but don’t bother upgrading. There’s literally no difference between these and the QC15 (which came out 10 years ago). BUYERS BEWARE: these headphones don’t work with ps5 - wired connection only and only work with NC turned off (which offers lesser quality audio). I would only suggest buying these to people who don’t already own a Bose headset.
Thanks for taking the time to watch! I’ll run a few tests and let you know how it goes. I’m just getting in and it is pretty late, I’ll try to get you some answers tomorrow.
@@ProjectLK-7T2 No problem at all! Unfortunately the NC 700 headphones will not function properly with gloves. There are gloves that make using touch controls easier, but that would be investing more in funds. The Bose QC45 however has no problems with physical buttons. I hope this helps!
Welcome back and thanks for taking the time to watch! It is long over due for the Bose NC 700 headphones to be upgraded. I’m hoping we see that happen sometime in 2023. I’m also hoping they give us something special with better noise canceling, better sound, something as comfortable as the QC45, and the sensor that stops the music when you take off the headphones. We’ll see what happens!
@@DelonteM Yes, I'm waiting for those to come out with an upgrade. I took your advice and waited to buy the next big thing. Also if you havent used it yet, the BOSE QCE 2 that came out are something else. I bought them and the ANC is at a whole different level. If you still havent, you should try them out
@@angelsales8544 Thanks for the heads up! I’ve heard good things about them. I have them on my radar… I’ll be getting them and doing a review soon. Thanks for the recommendation!
My apologies, I just seen this comment... When you plug the headphones in, try adjusting the volume on the actual headphones. Place the source device low maybe three or four in volume, otherwise it will get really loud. After you place the source volume to a low volume, raise the volume on the headphones to the max and you should now have the full volume you can get with the Bose 700 headphones. I appreciate you taking the time to watch and I hope this helps!
I recently got QC45, I feel like the Bass in QC45 headphone is too low. Is there any solution for this? Because it doesn't have the EQ feature like NC700.
Thanks for taking the time to watch the video! There are a few apps in the App Store. If you’re on Android there is the poweramp app and if you’re on iOS there is the Boom: Bass Booster app. They are both paid apps, but they should have trial periods. Give one of them a try and let us know what you think. I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment. Don’t be a stranger!
I appreciate you taking the time to watch the video! The NC 700 headphones are one of my most recommended pair of headphones. They sound great, have good features, and are very comfortable. I’m sure you’ll love them. I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment!
Thanks for taking the time to watch the video! The Sony XM4 has deeper bass than the Bose 700 headphones. The Bose line of headphones seem to be more of a neutral set of headphones. They are more on the cooler side than the Sony XM4. The XM4 is a warmer set of headphones. Sony has a better stock EQ as well. I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment!
@@martinwoodfilms The 700 headphones have a built in EQ, so you can adjust the highs, mids, and lows from the app. The sample I gave in the video was with highs, mids, and lows set to zero. I could have easily adjusted the headphones to sound way better and have more bass than what was in the video.
@@DelonteM yes i will msg your channel.. I'm a basshead person which I think qc45 will give me more bass (woofer) than - anc700 2weeks after i purchase it online . thank you
I appreciate you taking the time to watch the video! The song is The Queen, from Jasmine J Walker. It's a nice, laid back style track. There's also a version with lyrics as well.
@@YoreNorth Thanks and no problem at all. I really appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment. Comments like this let me know how to navigate!
@@DelonteM maan, you don‘t know how many times I‘ve been searching for the ideal upgrade to my 35ii. But honestly, i am still not sure if the 45s are really worth it. It seems to me, that bose is forcing customers to either buy the 700 or 45s. But forreal: all we‘re asking is a upgrade of the 35qcii in anc (!) but with the features that can‘t go wrong: no touch, best grip on pads and fit we know from the 35s, an usability for almost every activity. Please with buttons (cuz touch sucks), no passive anc side noise while not listening to music (-point on the 45s), and a futuristic design such as the 700. Last but not least: more innovative features, anc lowering, and eq that is inspired by competitors. That would be a headphone worth the money. Unless i am forced to outwear the 35qcii until bose pushes you to buy an upgrade (by firmware updates and taking out the 35s in the catalogue). Sadly I am quite disappointed by boses products. What do you think? Best
@@YoreNorth Honestly, I'm hoping the next generation of Bose 700 headphones are what you stated... The button configuration is a lot more reliable, better noise cancellation, and a better EQ (something more like The Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones EQ). The swiping gestures on the NC 700 headphones have been really good though, nothing to really complain about, but there is a reason headphones are kind of going back to the physical button layout... The QC45 headphones are pretty good, but they easily leak sound and you still can't turn off the noise cancellation... They updated the headphones with an EQ, but it's not really the type of EQ where you can really get in there and fine tune the headphones (although I'm glad we have some type of EQ now). I'm hoping the next generation of NC 700 headphones are the answer. Between the two, I always recommend the Bose 700. It's a lot closer to what you were asking for, but has the swipe features. I have not had any issues with the swipe gestures yet, it's been really good so far. The updated EQ has made the QC45 headphones a lot better, but the sound leakage (especially in an office or airplane setting) and the fact that you still can't turn off the noise cancellation keeps me asking why in 2022?
Thanks for taking the time to watch the video! No, there isn’t much difference at all. The QC45 headphones won that section by a very small margin… Both headphones are very comfortable and I have no issues listening to either set of headphones for extended periods of time.
@@normanr.8624 No problem. The QC45 headphones are a great pair of headphones that are very comfortable. I plan to do an updated QC45 video with the updates included. I really appreciate you taking the time to watch a couple of the videos on the channel. Let me know your thoughts on the Sony XM5 vs Bose QC45.
Thanks for taking the time to watch the video! The QC45 headphones received an update that provides an EQ. This is actually really good news for the headphones. You can now adjust the headphones to how you need them to sound.
Hello Delont, with the EQ on QC45, can the sound of QC45 be changed to similar with 700? Especially on the mid sound, does the mid of QC45 with EQ change, can be the same good as 700 ?
Thanks for taking the time to watch the video! The Bose QC45 headphones can now be tweaked to sound very similar to the Bose 700. I would still purchase the Bose 700 over the QC45 if you are considering those headphones. The 700 does a better job with sound leakage and you can adjust the noise cancellation to your liking. It also has the convenient button on the side for quick discussion options. Both are great headphones, I would love to know which you decided to go with and why. Thanks again for leaving a comment and watching!
Hello, when I went to shop to compare these two, the qc45 do have a more base and treble but less mid, but I preferred the sound of 700 because 700 gave me more immersion into the music, and I like a lot on the "electric sound" from 700 which might come out from the closed case of 700. I like the apperance of 700, and it does have a very low pressure when NC is on. So I have bought 700.
One more funny thing I would like to share is, I went to shop to plan to buy Sony XM35, but when I listened to the tester sample Sony XN900 in the shop, I didn't like the sound, it doesn't sound bright but dark. Then I went to Bose....

I bought the QC45's right after Christmas, just returned them for 700's. The 45's were great, except had major sound leakage. People around me were both distracted and somewhat annoyed. The 700's seem to be much better. This is an aspect that no one seems to mention in reviews.
Thanks for taking the time to watch the video and letting us know your point of view! Sound leakage is an important factor and something i will definitely include in future reviews.
cheers mate was desperatly trying to find more reviews about sound leakage since i work at a office with my coworkers not too far from me. is it still noticable at a decend audio level or can you comfartably put music a bit louder without anyone noticing ?
@@MacMadnessx I appreciate you taking the time to watch the video. I started placing sound leakage in my newer videos and all sound tests going forward. The Bose QC45 headphones do not do well with sound leakage. That’s one of the few faults with them. The Bose 700 headphones handle sound leakage pretty good. At 50% volume the QC45 headphones leak a lot… You really can’t hear the Bose 700 headphones at 50%. Hope this helps and don’t be a stranger!
@@MacMadnessx 700's have very little leakage. The folks that told me the QC45s were leaking haven't said a word about the 700s. They are awesome!
@@mvarner46540 alright thanks man, hyped to test it out, currently have the galaxy buds pro but they hurt like hell for longer periods of time. think over ear is still better for now
I have finally brought qc45 after long dilemma between purchasing Sony wh1000xm4 or Bose qc 45 …. Believe me qc45 is all you need and more than that ..you name it whether the call quality ,Noice cancellation. And the music 🎶 in it is just fantabulous and deliciously served to ears…very wide sound stage ,deep bass, and clarity of vocals is just ❤️… it’s a king in headphones market in 2022 according to me
The QC45 headphones are a great pair of headphones! Especially since they have been updated with a EQ and better noise cancellation. One of the best in the market. I appreciate you taking the time to watch and share your thoughts!
The QC45s have gotten a huge update back in February brining an equalizer to the app for them and also a really impressive update to the ANC which is now better than the 700s and the Sony XM4s and I saw one comparison between the QC45s and XM5s and it kinda beats the XM5s as well surprisingly.
The QC45s do sound better than the 700s or the Sony headphones, which have way too much bass. The QC45s have clearer highs and mids and a slightly tighter bass. To me and other audiophiles it sounds better even than the AirPods max, but then again, not everyone is an audiophile and knows what music should sound like but I know that sound is subjective because in reality most people like a ton of bass and a V shaped sound signature which either the Sony headphones or the Sennheisers or AirPods Max have to please the masses.
Bose doesn’t try to please the masses with the QC45, they just made the most music accurate sounding and most comfortable ANC headphones money can buy.
If you want more bass or a more V shaped sound signature or ear pads that burn your ears after 30 min of usage then look somewhere else.
Thanks for taking the time to watch both videos! The update helped the QC45 headphones a lot. I’m working on the QC45 vs Sony XM5 headphones video as we type and will be looking at the noise cancellation, transparency, and so forth with the updated info. You’re right, sound is very subjective and I’ll going over who the respective headphones are for based on sound and features. I can’t comment on the noise cancellation too much yet, still working on it as we type, but the QC45 headphones have definitely been improved. The Sony XM5 are a pair of headphones that need to be adjusted with the EQ to make them sound good and I’m not talking about the general V shaped sound that people generally hear with commercial headphones. Once you really take the time to tune the XM5, they sound good, really good. Not many people will want to go in and adjust the EQ too much, but people that are really into audio understand and don’t mind doing these things. I hope you take the time to watch the QC45 vs SONY XM5 video and let us know your thoughts there as well. I really appreciate you taking the time to watch both videos and sharing your thoughts!
As a 700 user, one major gripe is the design of retraction. The very act of retracting or extending the headphones cause scratches. So much so that they feel like they've been used for 5-6 years. So don't buy the chrome/white one to minimise that. Also this and the qc45 are to be used in non sweaty environments or be prepared to swap out the pads every 6-18 months depending on your salt levels. But I still stick to it more than my airpod max is the comfort. Both this and qc45 (my mom's) are headphones you can wear for hours. Unlike the airpod max.
I was on the fence between the 45's and the 700's (just sold my Sony XM5's due to being too uncomfortable for longer periods of wearing). I read and watched about every review there is, but after yours, I am sold on the 45's. Call quality doesn't matter to me, and everything else just seems to fit my usecase better.
I went with the QC45, I know you get this often but I must say your videos are exceptional, You do a fantastic job in your reviews! You are extremely knowledgeable and very well spoken and I will definitely revisit your channel!
Thanks for taking the time to watch the video! Your comment definitely helps me stay motivated. I truly appreciate you taking the time leave a comment like this. The Bose QC45 headphones are a great pair of headphones. It really depends on what the user is looking for. Some prefer big bass, while others prefer a balanced sound from their headphones. I’m sure you’ll be very satisfied with your purchase. Once again I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment! We have more coming very soon!
Professional and to the point, great presentation, thanks for your hardwork that has been put behind it and helped me to make my purchase decision for bose 700. Enjoyed watching video till end. Yes and Bose should thank you in this as I came to know it has ipx4 rating after watching your presentation, hence making the purchase lot easier, 🍻
Thanks for taking the time to watch the video! It seems the IPX4 rating isn’t known to a lot of people. I’m glad the video was able to help. The Bose 700 headphones are a great pair of headphones, I’m sure you will love them! I really appreciate you acknowledging the effort that went into the video and watching the video through the end! Don’t be a stranger!
You edit like a pro, good video, thank you!
Thanks, I really appreciate your support!
I use bose 700 at work since 2019 every single day, now have changed cushions, still very good , durability one of the best, battery still can last 16-17 hours, noise cancelling good, controls the best in market
Thanks for taking the time to watch! The Bose 700 are a really good pair of headphones. I’m hoping they “wow” us with the next generation! Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts!
Wow, being primarily looking for a headset to do professional calls (many hours a day) and less interested by the perfect sound for listening music, I think the 700 clearly kills the QC45 (around 8:10) on call quality in a noisy environment (right?). I think this is also your point when you summarize after these tests on the better NC for the 700.
Thanks a lot for this perfect review.
I appreciate you taking the time to watch the video! Yes, the 700 headphones are hands down the winner in call quality, especially in noisy environments! The 700 headphones sound really good as well. The QC45 headphones sound good, but the 700 headphones have a built in EQ that can make them sound the same or however you need them to be. It a great pair of headphones! I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment. Don’t be a stranger!
One of very few reviews with some real guitar crunch in the sound test - I listen to a lot of metal and hard rock, so this was very informative and helpful. Thank you!!! QC45s seemed to sound cleaner, sharper, crunchier - is that an accurate impression?
Thanks for taking the time to watch! The QC45 are definitely more cleaner than the NC700 (especially since the update with the EQ). The NC700 headphones are due for a refresh. I’m hoping they give us something special. I would definitely buy the QC45 over the NC700 for sound. I hope this helps!
Listening to the noise cancelling section of your video, I found the 700s annoying as the sound filtering through seemed to concentrate on the left side. This would drive me crazy. In the 45s it was more balanced. Thanks for this review and for doing the noise cancellation demonstration. I think I will pick the 45s. I really hope they will help with bass from music as I am autistic and this is my biggest problem, working and travelling in environments where people turn up the bass. It is really stressing me to the point where I am nauseous.
One of the best vs reviews I've watched.
Thanks, I really appreciate the comment! Thanks for taking the time to watch the video!
Thanks for making this video. I was torn between the two but the ANC and better water repellent of the 700 won me over. I live in Denmark where it's raining a lot so that form of durability is important.
I appreciate you taking the time to watch and sharing your thoughts! I try to make sure people know what they are getting. The water resistance on the Bose 700 has come in handy quite a few times for me. The QC45 has been updated with an EQ and slightly better noise cancellation. But the Bose 700 has been more durable, the water resistance has been great, and the ability to adjust the noise cancellation has been wonderful. Call quality is also a lot better on the 700 as well. I appreciate you taking the time to watch and glad it helped!
I never watched a thorough review like this ., well done sir 👏 👍
Thanks for taking the time to watch the video! Comments like this keep me motivated. I really appreciate you taking the time to watch and share your thoughts!
the craftsmanship of this video was beautiful! would love to watch more of your videos man, super informational that isn’t heavy or boring to watch 👍
Thanks, I appreciate you taking the time to share this! Comments like this definitely help me stay motivated. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for this comparison. Your time and effort to provide your review is very much appreciated. I have had the QC 25 over ear wired headphones for 20+ years and still going strong. Ive had to replace the ear pads twice. I use my headphones daily for hours at a time. I absolutely love them. They are so very comfortable and adjust easily for me. Some of the wider bands on current models dont adjust well and have a tendency to slide off my head. I like the slimmer temple piece on the 700 as it wont interfer with glasses. I'm not a fan of wireless . I much prefer simple and uncomplicated. Having to remember which button to push or how many clicks it takes for which ever mode i need at the time is stressful . 13:55 nt
just received my qc45.. the bass is perfect.. thank you sir... live it my first bose headphones
The QC45 headphones are definitely in my rotation of headphones to use due to comfort and noise cancellation. I’m glad you like them. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the headphones with us!
Great review sir. I love the fact you gave the info that the Bose 700 has an IPX4 rating. Not a lot people that. I like the sound signature of Bose 700 better than QC 45. The only I do not like about the bose 700 is connectivity with my Samsung phone.
I appreciate you taking the time to watch. The Bose 700 headphones are a great pair of headphones. I don’t think I heard anyone talk about the IPX4 rating either… The Samsung issue is a big thing. Samsung and Bose really need to work this out… I saw a post where someone said to uninstall the UE application (UE Boom) and the headphones were working great for them. I appreciate you taking the time to comment, don’t be a stranger!
I have a s20 and i pair it to my laptop and it works seamlessly, is this a common issue for samsumg devices?
@@FCGLITCHES thanks for taking the time to watch the video! It appears there is a Bluetooth bug with some of Samsung’s devices. There are posts on Samsung’s forums where people talk about this. I personally have not had issues yet… but I switch devices a lot. I really hope they are looking at this because there are a lot of Samsung devices out there and people want answers…
Awesome review, pal. Thanks. I am still considering the QC45. But I just wished they would add a high, low, and off ANC mode on the QC45 just like the predecessor. Once that's added, I will definitely buy them. Not very fond of touch controls and not foldable headphones. Let us see if they fix this before the new year. :)
PS. I felt the sound was a bit more clear on the QC45, especially on the Original Love track by Benj Heard.
Welcome back. The QC45 is a great pair of headphones. You have to remember the highs, mids, and lows were set to zero for the 700 headphones in this video. I could have easily made the 700 headphones sound like the QC45 or adjusted them as I wanted them. I agree, I have no idea why they did not add the ability to adjust the noise canceling. That would have made a big difference, along with the equalizer… The QC45 headphones are great headphones and if they add the features you mentioned, would be great. I appreciate you taking the time to watch the video!
@@DelonteM You are welcome, pal. I suspect Bose wants to promote their ideal product, NC 700. Rumors about that go around Reddit and the internet. I feel the same. They have downgraded the QC45 to make people buy the NC700. I can't really see any good reason for not adding the same features as Nc700, especially the option of turning the ANC off, which is an obligatory option that must be on every premium headphone.
@@zirak93-2 Yea, I just hope the NC 700 generation 2 is going to be a good upgrade! They need to add the sensor that automatically turns off the music and maybe upgrade the NC if possible… The QC45 does need a few more features, I think they made this to satisfy the Bose fan that didn’t like the NC 700 headphones. A lot of those guys still want at least the features from the QC35II… We will see how this plays out. You know I’ll be doing the 700 Mark II as soon as they come out, I’m kind of excited to see what give us! I just thought of a few videos to make on this topic…
Vielen Dank für den wirklich guten Test!
Kein Problem! Vielen Dank, dass Sie sich die Zeit genommen haben, das Video anzusehen. Sei kein Fremder!
The QC45 does have an eq after updating it's firmware and google assistant works fine by holding down the button on the QC45
Thanks for taking the time to watch! The update on the QC45 has been great. It now has an EQ and better noise canceling. This video was uploaded before the update occurred.
great, comprehensive comparison Thanks!
I appreciate you taking the time to watch!
I own the Bose 700 since 2020 and I'm very happy with it. However, once the leather ear pads start to wear off, replacement parts are expensive AND ineffective. They will do whatever they can to persuade you into buying hardware, obviously.
I appreciate you taking the time to watch the video! Replacement ear pads can be pretty expensive. There are some third party ear pads on Amazon, but I don’t know how good they are though. I should get some for testing and post the results 🤔.
Thanks for testing noise cancellation in various environments.
No problem! Thanks for taking the time to watch the video!
I’m stuck between the 700s and Sony xm4. I don’t even listen to music very often but I want them for purely noise cancelation. I’m autistic and mostly wanting them to silence background noises in my home or public places. I have a smaller head as well and the Sonys felt like they were resting on my jaw too much
Thanks for taking the time to watch the video! The Bose QC45 has excellent noise cancellation. We should be hearing about the new generation of Bose 700 headphones soon, it’s been a little while… The QC45 headphones have been updated with better noise cancellation and a EQ to adjust the sound of the music better. I would look at the Bose QC45, the Sony WH 1000XM5, or the Bose 700 for really good noise cancellation. I hope this helps!
UPDATE QC 45 does have an equalizer now after the latest update
Yes it does. You can now adjust the sound of the QC45 headphones and that has been a big improvement to me. I appreciate you taking the time to watch the video!
Since both bose has now EQ , which you think is a better choice in terms of sound quality? Thanks a lot bro
Thanks for taking the time to watch the video! If we are looking at sound alone, the QC45 headphones wins by a very small margin. You also have the ability to use the headphones without a charge. The Bose 700 control sound leakage a lot better and you can adjust how much noise cancellation you need. I find myself grabbing the Bose 700 more often than the QC45 headphones, but let us know which you went with and how you liked them when you get either!
Great review and comparison man, please keep up the good content. You earned my subscription for sure!
I appreciate you taking the time to watch the video! There's a lot more videos coming soon. Welcome to the team!
yu're the greatest comparisor ever, maaaan
i'm choosing between this models for a week ( i hear 45s in Store but can't find 700 in my city) and try to fing good comparison between this models.
Yo're save my money bro, thanks a lot. THANKS A LOT!! P.S. I BUY 45, 2 DAYS BEFORE WATCH THIS VIDEO, LIKE I FEEL IT))
Great video, You deserve a lot more subscribers. When I started watching the video I thought this would be 100k+ subscribers channel. The editing is amazing, keep up the good work👍
I appreciate you taking the time to watch the video! Comments like this definitely let me know I’m on the right track. The channel will get there, I’m just glad to be able to make videos people like. I really appreciate your comment, don’t be a stranger!
Thank you for this review. I was sure I was looking at the 700s until this review and now I am a bit stumped. I primarily want headphones for overall music quality and I am coming from the Bose QC15. I do like the list of features of the 700 but when I heard the overall sound quality comparison at the end of your video between the 45’s and the 700, I was taken back. Again, I am listening through an older pair of QC15s but the 45 sound was superior to the 700 which sounded weaker and less vibrant. Can this be? Or is comparing the two sounds through QC 15s not a good idea?
Thanks for taking the time to watch the video! The QC45 headphones do sound better or more vibrant. You have to remember the NC 700 headphones can be adjusted by the EQ on the app. The 700 headphones was played at 0 highs, 0 lows, and 0 mids to make the comparison fair, but it didn’t show how it sounds when you adjust it because people have different taste in music. You can easily adjust the sound to get the QC45 sound quality or change it to make the music sound the way you like. You would have to get a third party EQ for that on the QC45 headphones. The 700 headphones can be tweaked and has the features. I would recommend the QC45 headphones to the person who does not like the 700 headphones at all. I hope this helps and thanks again for taking the time to watch the video! Don’t be a stranger!
Delont'e M. Ok cool, just to confirm. I can adjust the 700 to sound as good if not better than the 45. I want the best sounding headphones first, features second. If this is the case, I’m comfortable with the 700s thanks again
@@tornagain The Bose 700 headphones can be customized to your liking using the equipped EQ. So in my opinion, that would be the headphones to go for when comparing these two. I hope they add this feature to the QC45, but you can get a third party EQ as well… Overall, the NC 700 headphones offer more value over the QC45 headphones. I would go to a store and try them out. I’m sure the Bose store will allow you to play with the app and pick the right one. Let us know which one you decide to go with!
Great video man 👍 you have the passion for sound
Thanks, I appreciate you taking the time to watch! Comments like this keep me motivated to do more!
Thanks for the detailed review.
No problem! Thanks for taking the time to watch the video. Don’t be a stranger!
One of the best reviews I have seen. Watched every second.. Great pace and presentation.. Thank you.
I appreciate you taking the time to watch the video! I very much so appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts as well. Comments like this help me see what is working and how to proceed. Thanks again!
The QC45 sound louder? I notice a better signature sound on QC45 ? Thanks
The QC45 is a louder pair of headphones. The Bose 700 headphones does a better job at controlling sound leakage, has adjustable noise canceling, and the highs aren’t pushed forward as they are with the QC45 headphones, but the QC45 headphones are louder and uses the buttons instead of gestures. The QC45 headphones are also a little bit more comfortable, although you shouldn’t have issues with either in longer listening sessions. Bose is generally really good in that dept. Both are nice headphones, but the Bose 700 takes the win when it comes to features and sound.
I remember comparing the sound quality of 700 to the QC35 and the 35’s were still much better…imagine the QC45 ?
Thanks for taking the time to watch the video! There has been an update to the QC45 headphones that has improved the noise cancellation and provides an EQ. The QC45 is a tough pair of headphones to beat now…
This is an awesome comparison
Wow! Production quality is top notch!! I was expecting 10 mil subs when I scrolled down. I have a questions for you. If all I do is wear headphones for 3-4 hrs at a time with no music but ANC turned on, and probably set to max, which pair of headphones would be more comfortable for me?
Thanks for taking the time to watch the video! Neither of these headphones would give you a problem. The QC45 is slightly more comfortable, but the NC 700 headphones have all the features (even the ability to adjust the noise cancellation). I have worn both for hours and both are very comfortable for the situation you described. The QC45 would be more comfortable by a small amount though. I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment, don’t be a stranger!
@@DelonteM Thanks for the quick reply! I had a feeling the QC 45 would be more comfortable. But what about cabin pressure? Was there a clear difference between the two, or were they both quite similar?
@@mutasimrahman6833 I have taken the NC 700 headphones to the sky and the headphones do very well with cabin pressure (one of the best). I still have to take the QC45 headphones to the skies to test it out. The cafe and airplane test was simulated to get an understanding of high vs low noise. I’ll definitely update the video to discuss the QC45 cabin pressure test.
@@DelonteM Doing this before black Friday would make you the 🐐
And this man ain't afraid to bend those expensive-ass headphoned
You have to check the quality, lol.
@CCN PNDA I seen the beginning portion of your last message. It was taken down for some reason… I know you asked about being able to control the bass an such on the Bose headphones. The Bose 700 allows you to make changes to the bass, treble, and mids. The QC45 headphones received an update a little while ago that allows for the same adjustments. This has been really good for the QC45 headphones, you can now make the headphones sound the way you need them to sound. I hope I covered the question.
For music audio only which are better
Thanks for taking the time to watch the video! In my opinion, the Bose 700 headphones sound better. Especially since you can tweak the sound to your liking with the included app. If you’re looking for bass as well as crisp highs, while maintaining the mids, the Bose 700 does a better job in my opinion. You can get a third party EQ app to make changes to the QC45, but if you’re looking at using the headphones as intended, without spending the extra funds, the Bose 700 headphones are the headphones to get. I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment. Don’t be a stranger!
Hello, really great vid ^^
I have a quick question for the nc700. When I walk or shake my head, i hear a clanking noise due to the fact that the cups aren't property fitted to the metal structure so they are a bit wobbly. Do you also have this "issue" or should i return them?
Thanks for taking the time to watch the video! The NC 700 headphones will rattle in the hand due to the way it is built. The ear cups are done in a way to fit a variety of head types. I feel they could have come up with something better and I hope they do for the next generation of Bose 700 headphones. If you rigorously shake your head with no music playing you may hear a slight clicking sound. You should not be hearing the sound under normal shaking. If you are hearing the noise just by walking or normal shaking, I would exchange them for a new pair before your warranty runs out. I hope this helps. I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment. Don’t be a stranger!
@@DelonteM Thx for your answer, i rly appreciate it. Keep up the good work and merry Xmas 🙌
@@Le_Bicar no problem at all. Definitely return them early if they are not working properly. Have a safe holiday season!
Bose 700 is super b i have 700 is great im happy with it
@@desoyvlog thanks for taking the time to watch the video! These are definitely in my top selection of wireless/Bluetooth headphones!
Great review, helped a lot with my decision. Thanks 👍
I appreciate you taking the time to watch the video! Don’t be a stranger!
Dude that was one of the best TH-cam vids I’ve ever seen….you should review everything from burgers to sneakers to toilet paper etc etc!!! Would make life decisions much easier!
Thanks and I I appreciate you taking the time to watch! Comments like this let me know I’m headed in the right direction with the videos. I really appreciate you taking the time to share this comment!

@@brianog5267 No problem, let us know what you decide and how you like them!
thanks for the review
No problem! Thanks for taking the time to watch!
I go to the gym a lot and was never a big fan of the in-ear earphones. I much prefer headphones. I’ve been contemplating if I should get QC45 ($300+)or the latest Beats by Dre Studio 3 (Black Friday Sale $160).
I have previously used QC35 for the last 2 years in the gym and held up pretty great. But QC45 now has a leather headband compared to the suede from the QC35. Not sure if it will peel the same way the ear pads do.
Not sure which headphone to go for. Beats By Dre Studio 3 vs QC45
Thanks for taking the time to watch the video! I would recommend you check out the beats studio headphones for working out. I generally tell people to check out the beats studio or the Sennheiser line for the gym. I feel the same, the headband may not hold to well in sweat conditions. Even the noise canceling 700 headphones would be a better option. Check out the beats for the gym. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment. Don’t be a stranger!
Beats are shit tho
@@TarynMilnes1 Thanks for taking the time to watch the video! The Sennheiser PXC 550 is another pair of headphones I recommend for the gym. These two (beats studio and PXC 550) perform really well in a gym environment.
I've just purchased the QC45 headsets and am very happy with them. Great sound and comfort.
However I cannot get them to work with Bluetooth on my Windows7 PC. There seems to be a problem with Drivers and "Googling" provides only confusion. No answers.
Bluetooth works with Sony WH-CH150. QC45's work well on on Bluetooth via iPad.
Thanks for taking the time to watch and sharing this information! Hopefully this helps anyone looking to purchase the QC45 with a Windows 7 PC. I’m also hoping someone reads this and can help you get it to work. I appreciate you sharing your experiences!
@@DelonteM Yes, I will persist in identifying the problem. Windows 7 with Bluetooth works with Sony headphones, but not Bose QC45.
Great video! I can't decide between the two! Right as I decide on one, I find something better about the other. I have a smaller head, does one have more clamping force than the other?
Thanks for taking the time to watch the video! Both are very comfortable to wear for long listening sessions, the QC45 headphones are a little more comfortable. The Bose 700 controls sound leakage a lot better than the QC45 headphones. I don’t think you could go wrong with either, the Bose 700 allows you to adjust the noise cancellation and they both have the ability to adjust the sound as needed (the QC45 headphones received an update with an EQ). Do you like the telescoping arms or do you want them to fold? I hope this helps a little bit…
@@DelonteM Totally does help, I actually am going with the NC 700's because I got them for $130 cheaper than their retail (there's a refurbished option)
@@estellahassrick3407 I’m glad I was able to help! Let us know what you think of the headphones when you get them.
@@DelonteM Just got them yesterday, they sound great and are super comfortable. Highly recommend!
@@estellahassrick3407 Thanks for getting back to us! I appreciate you taking the time to let us know your thoughts and I’m glad you were able to get them at a good price. I switch out headphones a lot, but these are definitely in my rotation. Thanks again for taking the time!
How's the volume of both? So far, nothing touches Bluedio UFO Headphones. And they are very difficult to find because the manufacturer quit making them. I'm telling you, Bluedio UFO Headphones are the best. The volume on the UFOs are so great that you really don't need noise canceling. I'm trying to get a second pair now just to have a backup pair.
I literally only care abour sweat resistance / IPX ratings. I have heard the 700s have an IPX 4 Rating, what do the 45s have
Hey...Thanks for the video and hats off to the edit it looks very proffessional....Do you still feel that Bose 700 are still relevant in 2021 ? (I am planning to buy bose but confised b/w qc 45 and 700)(My use will be more for travel , listening music and taking office related calls )
Thanks for taking the time to watch the video! Yes, the Bose 700 headphones are very relevant on 2021. I have a video answering that exact question, lol. The design and features are an par with a lot of other headphones. The only thing I would say is they need to add the sensor that stops the music when you take off the headphones, other than that, they are a solid pair of headphones. The music sounds good, this is one of the best headphones for taking office calls, and they do very well with airplane cabin/travel. I appreciate you taking the time to watch, welcome to the team!
@@DelonteM Ohh my Bad will out check that video as well ...Thank you very much for the help :)
No problem, I appreciate you taking the time! I hope the video helps!
nice review, i just ordered 700s +charging case. How come no one ever mentions that case/model?
I appreciate you taking the time to watch the video! I was thinking about doing a review on The Bose 700 with the charging case, Let us know your thoughts on the case when you get it!
@@DelonteM will let u know in about 24 hours. I hope I can figure out how to integrate this one into my Apple walled unicorn garden of an office, that's my biggest worry. I've got M1s and the BT just sucks with anything from Apple, so far. Sure, I connect "seamlessly" to all my devices like unwanted voodoo every time I walk into the room, but can't anything hold a stable single when I turn my head? Nothing here so far. Best!
@@oldnepalihippie I look forward to hearing your thoughts! So far it has been good with my Apple ecosystem. Siri was really thought out on the headphones, dedicated button, instant response, things like that. I’m sure you’ll love the headphones when you receive them. I am very interested in hearing your thoughts on the case though.
@Delont'e M. omg all i can think of saying is F apple! These Bose 700s are so so much better than the Airpod Pros, hands down. and i should do a review of all things others have gotten wrong or missed on this tech wonder (but that's not my thing). I got the 700s with the battery case, so there Apple! Adds lots of hours on the road, no doubt. That vs. the diminutive battery life on the Airpods, and don't get me started on the subpar sound, compared to the Bose. Can't wait to get the USB dongle to make the range go from two rooms to more!
@@oldnepalihippie I appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts! The Bose 700 headphones are a really good pair of headphones. In this video the EQ was set to 0 on the lows, mids, and highs. There was no way I could adjust the music for everyone’s taste in music. The user has the ability to adjust the sound and that is where the magic is! I plan to do an AirPods Max vs Bose 700 video shortly! I really want to see who has the better call quality and sound. I really appreciate you taking the time to write this, I may grab the case and do a review as well.
Hi bro, how do you compare NC700 with PX7 S2 when the prices at my place are roughly the same. I will use it with my iPhone most of the time
Thanks for taking the time to watch! The PX7 S2 headphones are the way to go here. The PX7 S2 have the latest tech and sound really good. The PX7 S2 are one of the best pairs of headphones you can get under $500. I would get the Bose 700 if you plan to work out a lot, the 700 headphones has the IPX4 rating for sweat and splash. I’m thinking Bose will be releasing a newer version soon, it’s been a while with the 700 headphones… I hope this helps!
Some say the size of the space for ear is larger in QC45. Is the difference in size of the space big? Did you feel the 700 are noticeably smaller headphones?
No, there isn’t a noticeable difference in the ear size. Both headphones are very comfortable. I have listened to both for extended listening times. You have the features in one and the ability to listen without a charge in the other. You can also adjust the sound of the 700 headphones as well. I know a few people with one or the other and neither complain about comfort. I appreciate you taking the time to watch!
Bose improved the strength of noise cancelling when they introduced the equalizer.
Thanks for taking the time to watch! The update was a major improvement for the QC45 headphones. Both are really good at what they do. It really depends on what you’re looking for in a pair of headphones. I honestly don’t think you can go wrong with either!
Great review man!
I’m considering the QC 45 for Christmas. If they add EQ it would be perfect.
Thanks, I appreciate you taking the time to watch! The QC45s are a good pair of headphones. I agree, adding the EQ would take it to the next level. They should at least bring the features from the QC35II to the QC45. I appreciate you taking the time to comment.
Hello Delont'e M, thank you very much for your good reviews and professionalism in your videos. I am somewhat undecided between buying the Bose NC 700 or the Philips Fidelio L3. My doubt is not so much in the ANC part (certainly the Bose NC 700 is excellent in that line), the most important part for me is the audio quality (soundstage and instrument details)
I like to listen to a lot of Jazz Fusion, Rock and some Metal genres, as well as some Rap Metal and 80's Pop. What would be your recommendation to buy between the Bose NC 700 and the Philips Fidelio L3?, Thanks…And now you have a new subscriber to your channel👍🏻
Thanks for taking the time to watch the video! I honestly have never tried the Philips Fidelio L3 headphones. I may have to get those headphones in the studio and do a review. The Bose 700 headphones are a solid pair of headphones. Top three adjustable noise canceling, EQ standard with the app, all day listening with no ear fatigue, and the audio quality is one of the best for general everyday headphones. The Bose 700 headphones will not have a problem with any of the genres listed. You will not regret the Bose 700 headphones, but I will need to reserve my comment until I test out the L3 headphones. I appreciate you taking the time to watch the video and comment. Welcome to the team!
@@DelonteM Thank you very much Delont'e M for your nice advice. In the end I decided to buy the Bose NC 700 headphones, waiting for them to arrive next Monday to enjoy them properly.
Thanks again and I sincerely hope you have a great weekend my friend😀🌟🎄👍🏻

The qc45 are on sale for 280 think im gonna go with them
Thanks for taking the time to watch the video! The QC45 headphones were updated to have an EQ included. That has made a big difference for me! You can adjust the sound to how you want them to be. Let us know what you think if you get them!
Honest opinion - truly amazing headphones but don’t bother upgrading. There’s literally no difference between these and the QC15 (which came out 10 years ago). BUYERS BEWARE: these headphones don’t work with ps5 - wired connection only and only work with NC turned off (which offers lesser quality audio). I would only suggest buying these to people who don’t already own a Bose headset.
I appreciate you taking the time to watch and sharing your thoughts!
How do the q700 work with gloves. I work in a factory and wear gloves all day and this is really going to determine if I get the 700s or the 45s
Thanks for taking the time to watch! I’ll run a few tests and let you know how it goes. I’m just getting in and it is pretty late, I’ll try to get you some answers tomorrow.
@@DelonteM appreciate it
@@ProjectLK-7T2 No problem at all! Unfortunately the NC 700 headphones will not function properly with gloves. There are gloves that make using touch controls easier, but that would be investing more in funds. The Bose QC45 however has no problems with physical buttons. I hope this helps!
You think next year there might be an upgrade for the NCH 700?
Welcome back and thanks for taking the time to watch! It is long over due for the Bose NC 700 headphones to be upgraded. I’m hoping we see that happen sometime in 2023. I’m also hoping they give us something special with better noise canceling, better sound, something as comfortable as the QC45, and the sensor that stops the music when you take off the headphones. We’ll see what happens!
@@DelonteM Yes, I'm waiting for those to come out with an upgrade. I took your advice and waited to buy the next big thing. Also if you havent used it yet, the BOSE QCE 2 that came out are something else. I bought them and the ANC is at a whole different level. If you still havent, you should try them out
@@angelsales8544 Thanks for the heads up! I’ve heard good things about them. I have them on my radar… I’ll be getting them and doing a review soon. Thanks for the recommendation!
I'm really gonna enjoy this
I appreciate you taking the time to watch!
I just bought the 700's. Is the sound super quiet for anyone else when using the 2.5-3.5mm cable?
My apologies, I just seen this comment... When you plug the headphones in, try adjusting the volume on the actual headphones. Place the source device low maybe three or four in volume, otherwise it will get really loud. After you place the source volume to a low volume, raise the volume on the headphones to the max and you should now have the full volume you can get with the Bose 700 headphones. I appreciate you taking the time to watch and I hope this helps!
I recently got QC45, I feel like the Bass in QC45 headphone is too low. Is there any solution for this? Because it doesn't have the EQ feature like NC700.
Thanks for taking the time to watch the video! There are a few apps in the App Store. If you’re on Android there is the poweramp app and if you’re on iOS there is the Boom: Bass Booster app. They are both paid apps, but they should have trial periods. Give one of them a try and let us know what you think. I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment. Don’t be a stranger!
I just purchased the NC 700. Just think they're better.
I appreciate you taking the time to watch the video! The NC 700 headphones are one of my most recommended pair of headphones. They sound great, have good features, and are very comfortable. I’m sure you’ll love them. I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment!
Yooo the edits are high quality wtf is this
Welcome back, I appreciate your support!
How is the bass of the 700 vs the qc45? I eq bass in spotify and it still isn’t as good as xm4
Thanks for taking the time to watch the video! The Sony XM4 has deeper bass than the Bose 700 headphones. The Bose line of headphones seem to be more of a neutral set of headphones. They are more on the cooler side than the Sony XM4. The XM4 is a warmer set of headphones. Sony has a better stock EQ as well. I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment!
@@DelonteM thank you! How about the 700 vs q45?
@@martinwoodfilms The 700 headphones have a built in EQ, so you can adjust the highs, mids, and lows from the app. The sample I gave in the video was with highs, mids, and lows set to zero. I could have easily adjusted the headphones to sound way better and have more bass than what was in the video.
Today foing to buy qc45 :)

I appreciate you taking the time to watch the video! The song is The Queen, from Jasmine J Walker. It's a nice, laid back style track. There's also a version with lyrics as well.
@@DelonteM nice video all in all! thanks for your fast response champ!
@@YoreNorth Thanks and no problem at all. I really appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment. Comments like this let me know how to navigate!
@@DelonteM maan, you don‘t know how many times I‘ve been searching for the ideal upgrade to my 35ii. But honestly, i am still not sure if the 45s are really worth it. It seems to me, that bose is forcing customers to either buy the 700 or 45s. But forreal: all we‘re asking is a upgrade of the 35qcii in anc (!) but with the features that can‘t go wrong: no touch, best grip on pads and fit we know from the 35s, an usability for almost every activity. Please with buttons (cuz touch sucks), no passive anc side noise while not listening to music (-point on the 45s), and a futuristic design such as the 700. Last but not least: more innovative features, anc lowering, and eq that is inspired by competitors. That would be a headphone worth the money. Unless i am forced to outwear the 35qcii until bose pushes you to buy an upgrade (by firmware updates and taking out the 35s in the catalogue). Sadly I am quite disappointed by boses products. What do you think? Best
@@YoreNorth Honestly, I'm hoping the next generation of Bose 700 headphones are what you stated... The button configuration is a lot more reliable, better noise cancellation, and a better EQ (something more like The Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones EQ). The swiping gestures on the NC 700 headphones have been really good though, nothing to really complain about, but there is a reason headphones are kind of going back to the physical button layout... The QC45 headphones are pretty good, but they easily leak sound and you still can't turn off the noise cancellation... They updated the headphones with an EQ, but it's not really the type of EQ where you can really get in there and fine tune the headphones (although I'm glad we have some type of EQ now). I'm hoping the next generation of NC 700 headphones are the answer. Between the two, I always recommend the Bose 700. It's a lot closer to what you were asking for, but has the swipe features. I have not had any issues with the swipe gestures yet, it's been really good so far. The updated EQ has made the QC45 headphones a lot better, but the sound leakage (especially in an office or airplane setting) and the fact that you still can't turn off the noise cancellation keeps me asking why in 2022?
How do you compare qc45 with nc700 in terms of comfort? Does it differ a lot?
Thanks for taking the time to watch the video! No, there isn’t much difference at all. The QC45 headphones won that section by a very small margin… Both headphones are very comfortable and I have no issues listening to either set of headphones for extended periods of time.
Nah bro, the audio quality on the 700’s are cloudy. ☁️
Thanks for taking the time to watch!
Good Job 🤔👍👏👏👏
Thanks, I appreciate you taking the time to watch!
@@DelonteM I have had the Bose Quietcomfort 45 for a week and I am very satisfied. I now look at the comparison to the Sony M5 .... Thank you
@@normanr.8624 No problem. The QC45 headphones are a great pair of headphones that are very comfortable. I plan to do an updated QC45 video with the updates included. I really appreciate you taking the time to watch a couple of the videos on the channel. Let me know your thoughts on the Sony XM5 vs Bose QC45.
I do think the 45 s. Had a deeper sound quality.
Thanks for taking the time to watch the video! The QC45 headphones received an update that provides an EQ. This is actually really good news for the headphones. You can now adjust the headphones to how you need them to sound.
Hello Delont, with the EQ on QC45, can the sound of QC45 be changed to similar with 700? Especially on the mid sound, does the mid of QC45 with EQ change, can be the same good as 700 ?
Thanks for taking the time to watch the video! The Bose QC45 headphones can now be tweaked to sound very similar to the Bose 700. I would still purchase the Bose 700 over the QC45 if you are considering those headphones. The 700 does a better job with sound leakage and you can adjust the noise cancellation to your liking. It also has the convenient button on the side for quick discussion options. Both are great headphones, I would love to know which you decided to go with and why. Thanks again for leaving a comment and watching!
Hello, when I went to shop to compare these two, the qc45 do have a more base and treble but less mid, but I preferred the sound of 700 because 700 gave me more immersion into the music, and I like a lot on the "electric sound" from 700 which might come out from the closed case of 700. I like the apperance of 700, and it does have a very low pressure when NC is on. So I have bought 700.
One more funny thing I would like to share is, I went to shop to plan to buy Sony XM35, but when I listened to the tester sample Sony XN900 in the shop, I didn't like the sound, it doesn't sound bright but dark. Then I went to Bose....
I bought 700
