  • Bose has put some serious time and energy into its brand new Active Noise Cancelling 700, a follow-up to its beloved QC35 line that was over a decade in the making. With cutting-edge features, streamlined looks, and some of the best sound reduction technology on the planet, Bose has taken aim at Sony, whose WH-1000XM3 have been dominating conversations about noise-canceling headphones since they came out last year.
    Which pair of noise-canceling headphones is better? Senior Editor Caleb Denison shares his impressions of this impressive headphone standoff, from comfort and feel to the sounds of his favorite tunes.

      of these and the Sony, which one allows you to change out the battery after a year or two when it depletes itself?
      Does the sound signature change much when using them wired?
      And do you still have all of the features when wired?

    I have had the Bose QuietComfort 35 II for some years. A comment to what it let through. First time I was on a flight and applied the headphones noise canceling I had a weird experience. A few rows up, there was an older couple, and when I wasn't wearing the headphones, the loud noise from the airplane drowned all (as expected). The moment I applied the Noise Canceling, I could hear what the wife was saying. I didn't really hear what other people said, but that particular persons voice, somehow got through. It was like being in a spy movie.

Anc works by taking sound, amd sending back an opposite sound to cancle it out. So the 2nd stage just didn't manage to cancle it, but still heard it in the first stage

      I have qc25s 35iis and 700s and still use all 3 when I feel I want to. The qc25s are good for when I'm travelling without a charger as the sound quality isnt noticeably different with any of them to me. Maybe I dont have the best hearing to notice the differences but honestly the difference is so small you can't really describe it. None out of the 3 sound better than the others. The qc35iis are the best day to day in my experience, and I'm no longer afraid to scratch them on doorways etc. As ive already scraped the bose paint off over the last 2 year's.

    I’ve got both the Bose quiet comfort 35ii and had the Bose 700 for a few weeks. I agree the 700’s are more comfortable than the 35ii and I prefer the design. As a woman with long hair, my hair was always getting caught in the hinge of the 35ii and I always hated having to fold them. Worried they would break. Love that you do not have to fold the 700’s. With the noise cancelling I didn’t really notice a difference between the two headset. Both were excellent. Like you said, the biggest difference and a game changer in my opinion is the call quality on the 700’s. It’s amazing. Walking against a strong wind and passing traffic I chatted to my husband, who couldn’t hear any background noise from my side. This is a big difference from the 35ii as when on a call with my husband, he would always complain about the background noise. On reviews that battery life of the 700’s, seem to be held against it. However, as I work from home and don’t travel that far. This is not an issue for me. So I do not consider it a drawback. Also price seemed to be another big drawback on reviews, however I’d saved for these headphones so was less bothered about price and more concerned about buying the right headphones for me. So again price was not really a drawback for either. To me, the call quality of the headphones makes it a superior headphone than the Sony 1000 as their call quality has been said to be not that good. In my opinion it comes down to what you want to use the headphones for.

      Thank you for discussing the possibility that the headband may get caught in your hair on the Bose Quiet Comfort 35ii. People with hair need to be cautioned. I tested the Bose 700 and really like that it does not have as much pressure on my head. I was in Costco with noisy background and screeching kids and the Bose 700 blocked it out. Pleasant surprise that it was so effective.

    Hi Caleb, if you want a challenging new video topic to make, please try explaining how to make a video doorbell appear on a Smart TV as a momentary overlay. No brand specific. In 2019 there must be something out there by now that can do this. Preferably an overlay of the doorbell camera feed instead of fully changing the HDMI source as to not interrupt a movie. Some kind of an automatic camera feed pop-up without the user needing to engage the remote control. Also if the overlay could be a customizable that would be great. (e.g. adjustable pop-up duration 15-60 seconds, thumbnail size, etc.)

    Love the review, a great mix of fluent casual conversation and professional informative style. I own the QC35 II and one issue I have is with call quality; not so much about the cancelling of noises around me (it does that well enough) but the people on the other side of the call hearing everything else around me to such an extent that they are distracted by my surroundings! In a quiet environment it does not matter. But in a street or train station it is much easier to disable the noise cancelling feature! To what extent do you think the 700 has addressed this issue?

    Thank you for this video. It was exactly what I needed. I've had the Q35 for about five years and loved them and used them constantly. The interior of the cups began to wear terribly after so much use so I began shopping for a replacement. After some reading I chose the NC 700 which I received today (they were almost $100 off during an Amazon early black Friday deal 🙂) It took me a while to figure out the button and to discover the swipe function. I admit to rarely using the buttons on the Q35 because it was always too much trouble to remember which button did what while wearing them. I can easily do the functions on the NC700 and I'm looking forward to that. Now to figure out how to use Alexa as my assistant. 🙂 Thanks again!

These features allow me to watch videos or listen to music, while excepting and making phone calls using the same headphone. Works great so far. Now are these features Worth $400 ?

    Good video! I have a very specific question about the noise cancelling and overall volume between the two. I have the QC 35’s but want more volume and noise cancelling to drown out the crappy music played at my gym. The reason is very few songs are enough of a wall of music to completely wipe out the gym music, even at full volume (I wear earplugs too, so I am not worried about hearing damage). Essentially, the louder the better and if there is more noise cancelling on top of that, even better. I have tried the most obvious route of asking them to turn down the music since 90% or more of the people in there have earbuds or headphones, but the gym owner is stubborn.

    Fair and honest review, I have the QC 35 and will not be rushing out to buy the 700's. It's got to a point they can't really make it sound any better. I've had lot of different headphones and the QC35 are far the best all round headphones.

    • @jasondashney
      @jasondashney 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Amen. I'm toying with returning my 700's because I can't stand the sound. It's hollow to me. I truly enjoy rap music better with my iphone earbuds than I do with the 700's. They cranked the treble and bass but there's not much in between. For me though the 700's are way to clamped of a fit. They are a better headphone but I have a wide head and the 35's are so much more comfy. It's a battle between the lesser of evils: fit vs, well, everything else and that sucks because fit is really important, but I feel you give up a lot.

    Just bought the QC35 II for $40 out the door at a pawnshop. I'd never heard of them before today but I tried them there and bought them immediately. They'd been sitting at the pawnshop since last Feb. and were originally listed at $190. They're in perfect like new condition. I'm tremendously impressed, since my only other premium headphones I own are the Beats Studio 3's.

    Hello!
    Something I would like to see in that kind of review is how it resists to time.
    I have a Bose QC35 for 1 year and half now, and I always use it with great care
    (always stored in its box, always folded the right way. It has less scratches as
    yours on the cups.
    BUT: although I use it with great care, the ear cushions are exploded. Both sides.
    I can't believe it's such a cheap design. I have an Audiotechnica (regular,
    wired) I bought in the early 2000s, with wooden cups. It's still exacrtly the
    same as it used to be when I bought it. It was about 400 USD at that time,
    but it was really well built.
    So if you want to be fair, you may want tu add the price of cushion replacements
    every year or so. I'm close to 2 years, and not using it everyday, so I suppose
    they would get worn very quiclky for more regular users.
    If you want, I can send you pictures of my Bose 35, which might add another
    argument for choice.

      @safecrackerglenn 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I bought third-party replacement cushions for mine from Wicked Cushions which are perfect replacements and are considered much better than original Bose replacements. They feel exactly the same as Bose! I think they were somewhere between $15 and $18, I can’t remember.

    One aspect that he missed: wearing glasses. I do and I've been using the QC35 ii for 18 months now, usually many hours a day and never ever reached the point that the would feel uncomfortable. I do not know how the 700s are concerning this aspect though.

    • @alexandrialorenzon6596
      @alexandrialorenzon6596 4 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      Completely agree. I wear glasses and have been able to wear my QC35 ii for 11+ hours without any discomfort. My only problem is that my glasses break the "seal" which makes the noise canceling not work as well as it should (I usually just take them off if I'm just going to listen to music). I wonder if I would benefit from getting the 700s for air travel so I wouldn't have to turn the sound up while watching movies

    • @brzzzy
      @brzzzy 4 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      Just in case anyone's still curious, I can wear glasses comfortably with the 700s for many hours. The earcups are pretty roomy especially towards the back of the ear and I dont notice any discomfort after wearing them for a long time.

  • @nicholaspetre1

Really wanted to buy 700s but was disappointed wz their modified sound signature. Good review as always from this author on this channel. Thank you

  • @johnlind5819
    @johnlind5819 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    One idea that would help me with your review videos. When discussing sound quality and listening experience, I would like to hear your thoughts on how music sounds and then a second thought on movies, audible books, etc. My wife almost exclusively uses her Bose QC-35's for movies and books. I never do, but I listen to music or TH-cam videos all the time.

    Returned the 700s.

      Shyam Bakrania you are an idiot. First Bose is not for the show off. Everyone uses them in the country I live. Second, I said the bass is lesser than the qc35ii, that is what the video is about. I know about the bass in Sony’s, i have those headphones as well. Read and analyse before posting a stupid comment.

      @Shyam Bakrania Yeah one thing I wish they would have introduced by now is the make your unique design. Until I tested the 700's I was going to get the Quiet Comfort ii's because for a bit more money you could make your design the only one in the world. Now that I have listened I am ok with one of the three colors offered so far.

  • @caroladucco5840
    @caroladucco5840 4 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    I had the QC35ii for a couple of years before I lost them. I've been given the 700 as a gift to replace them, and I have to say that overall I'm satisfied. My only slight complaint (apart from the "pushy" sound, which I've noticed too) is that they tent so slide off my ears more easily: once they've even slipped off my head and fell. I've found this problem way more prominent when I'm wearing my hair down (I have long hair). It's never happened with the QC35 and I think it's because of the hinge design change.

    This felt straight to the point on some key features.
    My personal addition here: I HATE touch-controls. they have an unsolvable issue with having your arm or head on the controls (as touch controls can't differ between arm, shoulder or fingers.), and instead of increasing the volume by 3-5 levels in about 1-2 seconds with a quick array of button presses- you now have to swipe up slowly multiple times.

    Thanks for this review, just ordered the Bose QC 35 II. Tried ordering cheap bluetooth headphones and they would work well for a few months then mess up. Went back to wired headphones but while I'm playing games sometimes if it's intense the headphones will get yanked out accidentally, it's really annoying. It would also be nice to walk into the kitchen and still listen to whatever content I'm listening to. Fingers crossed these Bose QC 35 II's last me longer than 6 months.

    Looks and sounds like the QuietComfort 35 might be the better choice for me, though I am still not certain.

    I'm quite late to the video, but I've had both headphones. I slightly prefer the 700s, I was worried that they would hurt my head like some other reviewers mentioned, but I tried them out at Best Buy after my QC 35 ii pair broke after about a year, and it didn't bother me in the slightest. I'd recommend trying both at a store if at all possible; if you prefer the 35s go for them, if you prefer the 700s go for them. If it's a toss up, go for the 35s and save some money.

  • @warrenhancock5742

    I've had the QC25 and QC35 for a total span of about 15 years. And I just got the QC35 IIs for my wife. Someone offered me 50% at Bose, so I'm thinking about getting a new pair. Since I use mine for 95% air travel, I'm going to try the 700s this time around. I guess I'll still have the 3 other Bose QC models as backups tho. My only complaint about all the QC25/35s is that because I only shave once a week and I have a shaved head, I think my stubble starts to wear down the soft material on the ears and the material that's on the top of my head as well.
