A $450 noise control system, that crackles and pops the entire video.
Thanks for watching, Jason! Check out the recent video we did to with comparable models for you to consider :) th-cam.com/video/4mBWstJwQrk/w-d-xo.html
Just wondering, is this normal / expected? I can't imagine people who are really concerned about how they sound on teams calls to be fine with that.
It's terrible quality I find it hard to believe that this is the quality of the headphones and not the dodgy setup you have.
Hello. Will this dongle enable stereo sound while using the Mic in windows 10/11 computers? I think that this is the main issue.
Hi, when you talk with the bose 700 UC on your head, do you hear your voice or it's muffled ?
Will this decrease the latency? Like Logitech introduced Lightspeed technology to eliminate lantency. Will to know because I wish to this NC 700 for wireless ANC gaming headphone. Thanks in advance.
I have the 700 (no dongle) on a pc via Bluetooth connection. When I enter a Zoom call the noise cancelling turns into noise enhancing. It appears to be picking up room noise with the mics and passing it amplified into my earphones. In my open office environment, I don't want to hear the room while on a Zoom. Apparently this is a "feature" to better hear myself when talking? Do you know how to turn this off? I want full isolation during Zoom.
I've watched a lot of reviews on these headphones, and you're the first to mention the UC. Good job!
Thanks for watching and we appreciate the feedback 😁
I had the nc700 but they went bad (covered under warranty) I just got the UC 700 as a replacement, seems like the padding is different is it just me?
Thanks for doing this. It was clearly communicated and very useful. Appreciate it.
You're welcome, John. Thanks for watching.
Hello!
Do you know / had the change to check the UC version on Linux?
Linux suffers from many BT issues, causing wireless headphones not functioning well when the mic is also on.
I was wondering if using this dongle can solve it, and give us the Linux users a decent way to use wireless headphones with the mic on.
Hi Dar, I think you may experience the same issue as these headsets are best designed for Mac or Windows. We will have to double check to see if we can get more info in regards to Linux.
@@HeadsetAdvisor Any updates? Also interested about Linux.
Hi. I would like to buy a headset for TV (not PC) and Ipad simultaneous connection. Will the dongle work on a TV or is this only for PC? Thx
Hi Abel, unfortunately we haven't tested this to know if the headset works on your TV. This solution is designed to connect with your computers, mobile phones and tablets.
Hello Sir ! I have Bose NC 700 . In order to connect it to the PC , can I use a different USB dongle with version 5.0 or I have to purchase the expensive 69$ Bose USB Link Adapter ? Regards!
We'd recommend the Bose USB Link as we haven't tested it with other Dongles.
Hi, my NC700 does not work on my computer as a headset due to fact that the handfree mode can't be activated for some reason. Does the Dongle could be the soluation as kind of workaround?
Yes, the USB Dongle should help resolve this issue headsetadvisor.com/products/bose-usb-link-bluetooth-adapter
thank you for those ifos .is it comfortable to wear for several hours ???the clamping forece is it acceptable on ears ?
It's a hard question to answer as comfort is a very subjective topic. Many people tell us it can be worn for several hours okay.
Hey, there! Thanks for your review! Really helpful! Question for you: if I won't use Zoom, Teams and stuff, would Bose 700 (not the UC version) be enough in terms of sound quality? Because at least I could understand that, besides the best sound quality for computer platforms, the quality of the 700 headset is exactly the same as UC. Am I right? Tks!
If you don't plan to use your headphones for the computer, the quality will be exactly the same. If you do plan to connect with your computer for work calls/meetings or listening to music from the computer, you want to go with the UC version.
@@HeadsetAdvisor oh, yes… I will definitely listen to music from my computer. I wouldn’t use for meeting calls. In that case, I think I’ll go with the UC version, but I have to say it’s a bit boring. I use the new Mac and there’s no USB A spot. So besides using the dongle of the UC version I’ll have to use an adapter. Thank you very much for your support!
Hello, the bluetooth mechanism has been deactivated by my employer on my laptop meaning I need to use a wired set that's plugged into the USB port. Will using the USB-dongle still give me the capability of using the microphone on these headsets?
Great question! The USB dongle should allow the headphones to work. Feel free to order and within 30 days if it doesn't work, you can return it and shippings covered both ways. headsetadvisor.com/products/bose-usb-link-bluetooth-adapter?_pos=1&_sid=c6de0b8b8&_ss=r
Will the Bose be able to connect to two devices at the same time with the UC, that is UC-laptop + phone?
Hi Flavius, yes it will.
Hi thank you for the review :) it helps so much. I am from Indonesia. There is no 700 UC available in Indonesia market, can I purchase Bose 700 and purchase the dongle separately? Thanks so much!
Hi Theresia, yes the USB dongle can be purchased separately
Good question, same here in Argentina. If I buy the dongle, will I transform the 700 in 700 UC? Meaning, same functionalities, button to answer calls from Teams, etc. Thank you!
@@HeadsetAdvisor Good question, same here in Argentina. If I buy the dongle, will I transform the 700 in 700 UC? Meaning, same functionalities, button to answer calls from Teams, etc. Thank you!
Thanks for the review. I have the Bose 700 UC and the bose dongle (the Bose USB link). Just want to check if we have the same experience. The mute button on the headset is working only for standard phone calls. However, it cannot mute the Zoom client from the headset. I still need to access the client from MAC to Windows 10 PC to access the mute button. Mute works perfectly on other UC wireless headsets from Poly and Jabra. How about in your case, does the Bose 700 mute button work for zoom calls?
Hi Rico, great question! Do you have the Bose 700 UC or the Bose 700? The Bose 700 UC would include the small USB dongle that plugs into the computer. If you have the Bose 700 already then I would recommend you get the USB dongle here headsetadvisor.com/products/bose-usb-link-bluetooth-adapter?_pos=1&_sid=9dc26977c&_ss=r and it should allow you to mute/unmute Zoom calls like your other headsets.
@@HeadsetAdvisor Thanks for the quick feedback. Yes, I have the Bose USB link purchased separately as I already had the Bose 700 headset prior. Volume swipes up/down is working fine and synced in zoom client. It's only the mute button that is not. I may just troubleshoot further.
@@ricoreformina Thanks for clarifying. Bose may not have that feature integrated yet with Zoom. I know for MS Teams for example you would be able to mute/unmute calls from the headset no problem. Maybe updating the firmware in the USB dongle will help. Also, make sure 100% the headset is paired to the Link USB adapter and not direct Bluetooth to the computer. Link to Bose updater here pro.bose.com/en_us/products/software/conferencing_software/bose-usb-link-updater.html
@@HeadsetAdvisor you're correct. Just tried on MS teams, the mute/unmute button is working well. I'm hoping Bose will fully support Zoom (my main conferencing app) in future firmware updates. Thank you
@@ricoreformina Has the firmware been updated yet? (Mute button on Zoom)
Can you Connect to two devices (for example pc and smartphone) at the same time?
With the Bose 700 UC, yes :)
Do you know having this adapter, will it work for calls using avaya?
Hi Cody, yes this will work.
I've a bose 700 already if I just buy the usb dongel will that be exactly the same as bose 700 uc? Thanks
Hi Abbas yes you can add the usb dongle stand alone since you already have the Bose 700. See here on our website headsetadvisor.com/products/bose-usb-link-bluetooth-adapter?_pos=1&_sid=735fb4b02&_ss=r
I've got issues in Windows recognising my 700s mic. It recognises as a audio headset but no mic. Any ideas/advice?
Hi Suren, do you have the Bose 700 or Bose 700 UC? If you don't have the model with the USB dongle to the computer then I'd recommend getting the Bose USB Link adapter.
If I have the 380c from Jabra is it OK to just get the standard Bose 700, can I still mute/unmute during MS teams calls?
We haven’t tested this but I don’t think the 380c will work with Bose 700 the same as your Jabra headset.
Hello, for you, what is the best option to work? I use every day WebEx, Zoom and Phone. I think about Bose 700, Poly Voyager Focus 2, What is better? Thanks
Hi Ismael, if your main concern is having the best headset for work, the Focus UC 2 would be the best in regards to comfort and mic quality. Another model we feel is even better that will be released soon will be at the link below. We'll include a link to both headsets.

@@HeadsetAdvisor Thank you!
@@HeadsetAdvisor Another question. What would your recomendation about wireless over ear headphones? I would like to use to listen music too
Is the headset itself the same ? if I have the headset already, can I buy the dongle separately and essentially I have a Bose 700 UC ?
Yes! The headsets are identical and you can get the USB Link Adapter separate here headsetadvisor.com/products/bose-usb-link-bluetooth-adapter?_pos=1&_sid=f5aa52d2e&_ss=r
@@HeadsetAdvisor Would you ship it to Spain? I don't find dongle here.
Btw your record has some voice cuts or strange noise. This was a recording problem or bose700 was cutting your voice?
Ya we noticed that too not sure exactly as the PC is fully updated as with the Bose 700 UC will keep testing to figure it out. BTW We just released a new video that compared the Bose 700 UC to all the other brand equivalents might be worth checking out. th-cam.com/video/4mBWstJwQrk/w-d-xo.html
@@HeadsetAdvisor No worries. Anyways the difference is hudge between dongle/no dongle.
@@felipe2fp Definitely!
So noise cancellation audio quality and call quality remain the same in both?
Yes the main difference is the USB dongle comes with the UC version for the best experience on the computer
I have a Bose 700 headset not the 700 uc. I see there is a usb dongle as an accessory. Should I sell my non uc headset and buy the 700 uc? Or buy the bose dongle accessory?
The Bose website leads me to believe that the add on dongle may not be “optimized” for online platforms.
Same here :)
We should have talked about that in the video. The best thing to do is buy the USB dongle stand alone as that’s the only difference. The online platforms it’s designed for right now are Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and Google Meet. Here’s a link to the dongle on our website headsetadvisor.com/products/bose-usb-link-bluetooth-adapter?_pos=1&_sid=735fb4b02&_ss=r
@@khano1999 See response above but yes you can buy the USB dongle stand alone since you already have the Bose 700. headsetadvisor.com/products/bose-usb-link-bluetooth-adapter?_pos=1&_sid=735fb4b02&_ss=r
Will the 700 work with jabra 370 dongle the same way?
I guess so.
Hi Tomas, we don't see why not. Put the 370 and Bose into pairing mode, and give it a good try!
did you find out?
@@simonstorm7829 havent tried but i am pretty sure it would work
So I have the BOSE 700 as well and tbe noise canceling is great as I mentioned in other comments and the mics are GOOD but I dont find them to be a good fit for noisy office at all..if this thing had a boom mic again as I said in previous comments..this would be the most amazing headset. I AM STILL SEARCHING FOR THIS KIND OF NOISE CANCELLING WITH EXCELLENT MIC FOR BUSY OFFICE WITH PASS THROUGH/Hear Through sound..where you can adjust audio so thst you also hear yourself as you speak so you don't talk loud or shout..please help find a solution like that..if it exists or existed I would pay a premium for such a headset
Hey Joe, great feedback. I agree as well, if this headset had a microphone boom it would be even better for calls. That being said, for computer only check out this model th-cam.com/video/FwDD6rOdTuU/w-d-xo.html and if this doesn't look like a fit, contact us at 1-800-683-5715 so we can best understand your needs and see what we can come up with.
@@HeadsetAdvisor David I did BUY this headset and like it..it is good..BUT the ANC is nothing like or close to BOSE or the SONY to block out a very loud office..I am talking about what I Hear..and tbe pass through. Hear myself speak is not there..its good for the money but still not what I need. And prefer wireless..The Jabra Evolve 2 sounded like on paper the magic bullseye header..but the boom mic is not that good..and I have asked many how good is the ANC..is it close to BOSE Or SoNy..Did you test them?
@@joelongo2275 The Jabra Evolve2 80 may be the way to go for you. That being said, no matter which headset you have there's a feature called Sidetone you can enable and disable in your computer to hear your own voice when you talk on the computer. I'm not sure if you're aware of that or not, but here's a quick article that talks more about enabling this feature headsetadvisor.com/blogs/headset/what-is-sidetone-and-why-is-it-important?_pos=1&_sid=e671ae4ef&_ss=r
Oh I was referencing the Jabra Evolve 2 85's.
@@joelongo2275 My mistake I was meaning the Jabra Evolve2 85 here amzn.to/39XQxnZ as well. It sounds like this model would fit all your requirements, just not 100% sure on you hearing your own voice in the headset. I believe that's a feature done within the computer, and within the Jabra Direct software there should be a setting to adjust this feature from low to high as well. Worth a shot to try and worst case you can return :)
Very helpful, thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Acabo de comprar un Bose 700 y por audífono izquierdo no escucho apenas y le pongo el cable y apenas se escucha.
Le recomiendo que se comunique con Bose y solicite un reemplazo bajo la garantía.
If I don't have any Bose headset, Do you recommend to buy the 700 + USB dongle or directly buy 700 UC?
We recommend you get the Bose 700 UC if you want the ability to connect seamlessly from mobile phone and computer. Link here headsetadvisor.com/products/bose-700-uc-wireless-headphones-with-anc?_pos=1&_sid=b34aff662&_ss=r
A dongle just costs you $100 more.......
@@hounddog00 Do you think it’s worth the added benefits you get?
@@HeadsetAdvisor but does it work the same if bought separately, currently i can the 700s at a very good price in a physical store, if I but the dongle separately do they turn into 700 UC or do they have completely different softwares and it doesnt work as semleassly
I have the 700s can I just buy the USB dongle receiver??
You sure can! Right here headsetadvisor.com/products/bose-usb-link-bluetooth-adapter?_pos=1&_sid=9d61ecd57&_ss=r
@@HeadsetAdvisor hi can you ship it to malaysia? I notice that you can only ship to US and Canada only..
@@ErolYNWA You’re exactly right. Unfortunately we don’t ship to Malaysia at this current time.
Currently in Europe, the Bose 700 UC costs 200 Euro (!!) more than the Bose 700. This is almost double the price. Could it possibly be worth it?
However, it is possible to also just buy the dongle stand-alone ( Bose USB Link Bluetooth®-Modul ) for 50 Euro. would a simple Bose 700 + Bose USB Link Bluetooth®-Modul basically equal the exact same product as Bose 700 UC?
@@Aviacohen2010 Yes, this would make it the exact same product as the Bose 700 UC. Sounds like a better way to go.
Does anyone know if the mute button is working on Zoom?
Hi Alfred, we've confirmed you'll be able to mute/unmute your mic from the headset when using Zoom.
@@HeadsetAdvisor thank you very much for the confirmation!
Damn that was a pretty big difference in voice and background noise cancellation. Thanks for the demo, gonna grab a pair

they kinda sound the same? if anything the usb thing sounded worse
Having the USB adapter is going to give you a more consistent experience. Pairing direct to the computer with Bluetooth one minute may work good, the next minute not so much.
Like damn dude! Are you ever going to get to the review
Haha we just wanted to warm you up to get to the good part 😄 We don't disagree with your point though. This was one of our older videos and have learned a lot since then, so our newer videos are a lot shorter and more straight to the point because of feedback like yours :)
Just placed the order of 700 UC
Nice! Let us know how you like it
@@HeadsetAdvisor OK so sounds quality is poor with USB link than Bluetooth which was unexpected. Also I see no improvement in mic. There are many people on the reddit saying the same thing. Search it.
My post on reddit:
ok, so the main problem using a USB link with windows is that it goes in 'call' mode. If you disable the mic (change mic to internal or any other external mic) and just use the USB link for sound output in windows settings it sounds good (same as how it sounds when connected to Bluetooth). This is because two-way channel transmission lowers the quality as your use the mic as input and get sound back as output (note: this is for windows. MAC OS may perform better. Try it)
Real use: Teams- Let's say you have a meeting. Turn on the mic and use it as normal. After the meeting, if you decided to listen to the music/media again you have to disable the mic as mentioned in the above paragraph.
Conclusion: Not at all worth the $70+tax. In fact, reviews on TH-cam are so paid that it feels like we watched the TV commercial and emptied our wallets. I got it in student discount so I am going to keep it just for picking up calls.
@@747lalit thanks for sharing your thoughts. Unfortunately any headset we’ve tested, they all seem to perform this way.
When listening to music, If you change the microphone setting to something aside from Bose, the speakers give you the stereo sound. With the mic set it goes back to call mode for better call quality.
A solution we’ve found is customers can use headphones of their choice and add the Modmic here to get stereo sound plus great microphone sound th-cam.com/video/Tut1KDa_S3M/w-d-xo.html
Something to consider in the future.
30 second video that took 8 minutes.
Thanks for watching!
Is it just me or the audio is constantly breaking in the video? It shouldn't sound like this.
The audio is constantly breaking up in this video. You are not crazy. I just ordered a pair of the Bose 700 UC headphones. It better not do this when I get them or I will be reselling them immediately. I don't have time for audio cracking up either.
That audio quality is astoundingly BAD....i don't understand...for a company that make best aviation headsets and can't get simple work headset right...such a shame.
The content is OK. BUT use better Equipment for making your Videos.

Haha!! What a pile of crap!! Those sound terrible. Glad I saw this. No Bose for me
Give the Orosound Tilde pro a look. Might be better for you.
