Incredibly More Comfortable and User Friendly than all the Sony’s
I decided to buy 4 sets of Noise Cancelling headphones and then send back the 3 loser (with the intention of giving objective feedback). ***My primary priorities were noise cancellation and comfort. My secondary priorities were sound quality and user friendliness. And finally style. The four headphones that I compared were... Bose 700’s Sony WH1000XM4’s Bose 350’s Sony WH1000XM3’s In short, I ended up keeping the Bose 700s (and that was an easy decision based on my priorities). I have a little bit of bigger head and found the 700s much more comfortable than any of the others...by far! My wife has a smaller head and she tried the 700s and found that they didn’t fit her head well and preferred the Sony XM4s. However I can wear the Bose 700s for multiple hours and they feel great!!! I found the noise Cancellation to be equal in quality with the Bose 700s and the Sony XM4s. But I found the Sony XM4s to create a slight uncomfortable noise/feeling. Some people could find this troubling but it wasn’t a big deal for me. I found the Bose 700s and Sony XM4s have slightly better ability for noise cancellation than the Bose 350s and the Sony XM 3’s. However the Bose 700’s allow me to push a button to 3 different noise cancelling settings which is kind of nice. When it comes to sound quality the Sony XM4’s win by a long shot. And if I were only going to wear these for a few hours I would probably have bought the Sony XM4s. However I tend to travel internationally on flights that are 8+ hours long and so the comfort was more significant than the sound quality because the Bose 700s are still very good in their sound quality and I can adjust the EQ to my preference. The final decision maker for me was the user friendliness. The Bose 700s were so easy to set up and use. (This is also why I prefer apple products...simplicity). I found the Sony’s to be much more complicated, confusing and the touch sensors to be a bit clumsy and less responsive. I also found the Bose 700’s very easy to quickly put away in their storage case (which is a nice hard case for travel). The Bose 350s were also very simple to use and the sound quality was decent. But their comfort and noise cancelling was lesser than the Sony XM4S and the Bose 700s. The Sony XM3s are once again better in sound quality and between the Sony XM3s and the Bose 350s I would go with the Sony XM3s. Both fit on my head similarly...so equally uncomfortable for long term wear (great for my wife with a smaller head but not me with a bigger head). Obviously I’m not considering price in any of these comparisons. Because comfort was a much bigger priority to me than price...I needed something that would be worn comfortably for multiple hours despite the cost. If you’re looking for cost effectiveness the Sony XM3s or Bose 350s are the way to go (so long as they fit your head like they do my wife’s) For perspective my head is 23 inches round. My wife’s head is 20 inches. Our ears are average/not big so our ears fit just fine in all of the headphones listed above. When it comes to style the Bose 700s are incredibly sleek and modern...very stylish...especially the grey ones (which is what I bought). We found the grey Bose 700’s and Bose 350’s are much better looking than the Sony XM4 or XM3s. In fact I found the black Sony’s the only color I’d consider. So if color is something you’re considering and you want something besides black then both sets of the Bose are the way to go. But the 700’s take it to a whole new stratosphere and my teenage daughter wants to wear them (but they’re not leaving my head and I don’t think they would fit her very well as she has a similar size head as my wife). If I were buying some for her, I’d buy the grey Bose 350’s. Finally all of these have relatively strong batteries. The Sony’s are probably better overall but the Bose 700’s charge quickly and I can easily get 20+ hours of listening out of them before needing to charge them. Fifteen minutes of charging will get me a few hours. Let me be clear, all 4 of these headphones are REALLY nice! And so you need to consider your priorities and then choose accordingly and I think you will then be happy with whatever route you go.

Good headphones option for remote workers with Unified Communication USB connector
I have owned/used the Jabra Evolve 75 for 4 years. I have owned and used this Bose product exclusively for ~2 months. I bought it to replace my Evolve when the boom mic stopped muting the headset. I work from home full time and use them 3-6 hours a day. I'll compare the two products a bit here for people who might be familiar with that one. In short: It's a really nice headset, albeit one with some quirks. If you want a single headset for work and music, get the Bose NC 700 (with UC if you also use a supported team meeting product, like MS Teams). If you want a headset for work only then you should also consider/compare the Jabra Evolve 75 PROS: - Extremely comfortable when the room you are in is at a comfortable temperature, - Quite comfortable for people who wear glasses. The Evolve 75 was less comfortable with glasses due, I believe, because of the design: the Bose fits around your ear and the Evolve 75 sits on top of your ear, which would push it into the glasses and your head. Never a huge deal, but one thing I noticed with them after hours of use wear - With UC connector (sold separately or as a bundle with headphone), the controls work with a couple of the leading video conferencing products - Noise canceling is incredible...absolutely fantastic. - A pleasant voice and sounds telling you what is going on when you hit most of the controls. The Evolve 75 has voice feedback as well - Charges very quickly...30 minutes will get me through my work day - Music sounds wonderful on them. I would not use the Evolve 75 for music if I had other options around like this CONS: - When your room is hot the Bose is not as comfortable as the Evolve 75. I think this is because the Bose encases your ears while the Evolve sits more on top of the ear - I find the touchpad controls much less accurate than physical button. Hold the touchpad for the right amount of time to mute/unmute means I'm wrong some amount of the time. The Evolve 75 was way more simple...move the mic boom up and you are muted, move it down and you are not - The manual is not very good. Did you know that the UC USB nub has a button to set bluetooth to discovery mode? The manual doesn't tell you that and the button is so well placed and designed that it doesn't look like a button at all - The software to update/use the Bose it is awkward at best. Jabra's software updater is much cleaner - Does not come with a stand to put it when not in use. The Evolve 75 - If you want Unified Communications you need to buy a $75 USB nub, or buy the NC 700 UC package. The Evolve 75 has it all in one package/price - When paired to your phone and your computer (via UC nub) it gets confused when you get a phone call while on a work meeting. I tend to disconnect it from my phone during working hours for this reason...the Evolve 75 handled two devices better - Uses a very different cable to charge...sort of like a hollowed-out USB-C...and the supplied cable is so short you cannot charge and use the headset at the same time. The Evolve 75 can be charged and used a the same time easily...if you ever even had to do this, as the stand it comes with will charge the phone as well if its plugged into a USB port NEUTRAL: - Battery life is satisfactory...I go a couple days between charges - A bit higher price than the Evolve 75 - I found the Evolve 75 to have better signal range

Tons of great features which keep the headphones around your ears.... but for how long?
I've owned these for half a day so far and have decided to keep them around. I'm an audiophile who spends money on kickstarter earbuds, custom-made preamps, and (in general) quality hardware which reduces my audio experience as little as possible. Trying these cans in-store at BestBuy allowed me to appreciate the hardware quality of the exterior... quality matte plastic moulding, amazing comfortable faux-leather surfaces on your skin, and a synthesized voice and audible feedback to assist with your navigation of the three hardware buttons and touch controls make these headphones easy to wear during work sessions, public transit commutes, or in a crowded home with loud kids. As a brand new product, the tension on the cans over your ears and on your head can become uncomfortable within an hour of use. Subjectively, I don't consider my head to be particularly large or larger-than-average and will need to play around with adjusting the cups to sit lower or higher on the band which also release/tighten the tension respectively to see if this becomes a long term problem with use. Taking short breaks with the headphones off (10-15 minutes) helps and gives a good excuse/reminder to take a break from work to relax the body/eyes/ears. The sound quality is reasonable for the headphones. When using the headphones with noise cancellation off, ambient noise seems to lack a very strong low end frequency response (sub ~250Hz, not measured) and might reduce your meatspace experience in some cases where mixed ambient and input audio are desired. That said, direct input still seems to perform quite well with solid frequency response all around which lets the very highs and very lows to be pretty well-balanced. A test using the headset for phone conversation over bluetooth yielded very nice results. The setup involved the cans paired with my laptop streaming music and my Project Fi Pixel 3 phone on standby. Using the Google voice assistant to start the call resulted in some clumsy voice detection/understanding problems ("I'm sorry, I didn't get that, who would you like to call? I don't know that name, who would you like to call? Ok, will that be mobile or home? Ok, will that be mobile or home? Dialing..." _sigh_) which I don't believe are the fault of the cans at all. The test included loud ambient music in the room with the person wearing the headphones and found the other user to experience practically none of the ambient noise through the call with a very clear bead on the callee's voice despite close proximity to the music source playing at a moderate volume (such that the ambient music was leaking through the room walls and making it hard to isolate whether the headphones were leaking the ambient noise into the call...which it seemed _not_ to do with this casual test setup). Noticeable was the (300-700ms) delay from the user on the headphones which seemed to not be present from the non-headphone user. It was hardly a concern and either due to the latency in the network transmitting the audio (which, again, was a local wifi call between handsets.... though I am unsure if the handsets route audio locally or not) or possibly in the audio processing from the headset. This latency was par for most mobile calls and should be completely unnoticeable in a remote environment when you're not there to hear to source before the transmitted audio through the headset. A few gripes about the design and ergonomics of the device: - the button placement: very easy to accidentally active these buttons which adjusting the placement of these cans if not aware/careful. - the direction of earcup rotation: when placing the cans around the neck/shoulders, the earcups rotate up (into the air) rather than down (onto your chest). Questionable choice here as it makes the headphones somewhat uncomfortable to hold there, but perhaps Bose never expects you to remove the phones... unsure if that's a reasonable expectation or not. - the synthetic leather matte black surface inside the top of the headset and on the earcups attract oil and will certainly show for those of us with that sort of skin. This may require some extra TLC and upkeep to keep as pristine as one might like. The white set might fair better in this regard. Overall summary: A pricey purchase that I would have trouble justifying as a personal expense (these were expensed by my employer and intended for daily voice conference usage and isolation during work hours in busy coffee shops) and really comes down to the longevity of the product over time. If these headphones end up lasting me longer than 5 years, I would be VERY satisfied with the purchase. At a price point closer to $250-300, this would be a much easier personal purchase to make. As a user which "babies" their hardware, I am eager to see whether this will stand the test of time. Direct input (from a bluetooth source that is not ambient noise) has a very solid frequency response which does not noticeably detract from the music experience. Longterm use may be uncomfortable depending on your head size. The noise cancellation works wonderfully and almost too well, leaving me at a "5" setting more often than a "10" as complete cancellation feels too isolating and uncomfortable to feeling the lack of "air" around me. BLE connection to multiple devices (two) at once allows for seemless transitions between either input. This is also a first time purchase of a Bose product. Looking forward to seeing how the device matures and support is handled over time. Firmware updates are provided automatically to the headset through their app. Battery life "appears" long but I have yet to complete a full discharge cycle to be sure. I was pleasantly surprised to find the phones report +5 hours of use remaining at 20% battery charge and +20 hours at full charge (the audio assistant delivers the charge level as "hours of use" remaining, not battery level...which is still viewable in the Bose Music app. Nice touch, Bose).

O.M.G.
Bottom Line Up Front: These are great, fantastic, awesome, and a bunch of other words. The sound is fantastic, the ANC blocks out almost everything (in a normal and some not so normal environments), the mics do a fantastic job picking out only my voice on calls, the battery life is good, range is great, and (biggest surprise of all) the app works! Rest of the Story: I rushed to find a new headset after coming home and finding my JBLs lying on the floor in a state of repose that let me know that my toddler had done his worst. No amount of resuscitation worked; they were gone. Quickly cycling through the stages of grief, I set off to find a new respite from the constant cacophony that accompanies the child since I needed to have a sanctuary of calm and also a way to join calls without people informing me constantly about background noise. Read a bunch of reviews and guides; many people seem to have very particular tastes surrounding their very detailed preferences in sound quality, how the headphones look (because apparently one can improve their appearance wearing over-ear headphones), and any number of non-sensical comparisons. Here's my key features that I imagine are the most important to an average human just looking for a tool to get the job done: 1. ANC works well within reasonable expectations of what is possible at a price point less than a used car 2. Mic filters out unwanted noise while picking up my/your voice well 3. Good battery life so it doesn't have to be ritually charged every day 4. Connections to devices are easy and consistent 5. Comfortable to wear for long periods 6. Doesn't break the bank and, preferably, is a value 7. Durable (see toddler comment) 8. Sounds good 9. Easy to use Let's explore: 1. The ANC works very well and maybe too well. I was chastised because my wife was talking to me and stated a question multiple times before shouting at me and then I barely heard her from 5 feet away. It easily blocks out normal frequencies of everyday life, however, the piercing shrieks of small humans chasing a dog will still cut through a little bit. The levels are very adjustable, but I like my fortress of solitude so I choose to leave it at max and deal with the consequences. 2. I asked several people on calls using Teams, cellphone, and Zoom if they could hear the chaos ensuing around me and it was reported that they could not hear anything other than me, although it did sound a little different than normal. Call it a win. I will add that the self voice feature is nice so I can hear myself speaking an a little bit of what is going on around me when on a call. Off the call, we are back to the fortress. 3. It claims to have 20 hours of battery life and ever so nicely informs me of the state of charge in hours when turning the headphones on. I have not tried to listen for 20 hours straight because that is silly, but I can say that I used these on-and-off for a week without charging and, during that week, used them for multiple hours each day. I'd say that is pretty good and no need to compare further. 4. These will maintain a connection to two devices at once and my most common use to was have them connected to the computer and phone simultaneously. It maintains a solid connection to both and I can hear music on one and get notifications on the other. If I am listening to music from the computer and a call comes in, it seamlessly switches to the phone. Hang up the call and the paused computer music picks back up. Switching to another device is easy using the (wait for it) Bose app that actually works! I could never get the JBL app to work right and I would have to disconnect from the work computer and then go into bluetooth settings on another to connect. The range, for me, was anywhere in the house; only had cut out when I went into the garage on the other side of a metal door and metal wall. I almost forgot: When turning them on, it tells you which two devices it connected to which is super nice if you have them set up for several possible connections. 5. These are comfortable to wear all day if need be. The headband and ear cup foam are squishy yet supportive. I had no issue wearing these in a normal setting. Of course you will have sweaty ears if it hot outside and wearing these or if working out; duh. I saw someone talking about wearing these to weedeat; not the right application and people make devices with an actual NRR rating for that application. For normal uses, these are going to treat you well. 6. These are a high performing audio piece of equipment and the price actually doesn't reflect that when compared to what else is out there. Sure, they aren't cheap, but quality does come at a cost. I would say that, when compared to it's peers that I'm sure you will find doing your own research, these are a relative value. 7. These were probably never designed for wet environments so don't put them there (some reviews talk about this as a con). Otherwise, these feel solid and are constructed well. The phones slide down the bar rather than the bar extending; I think this is a good design feature that will make them last longer over all due to less moving parts and also keeps them set up correctly. The toddler has already attempted to replicate his earlier feat, but the Bose held it's own. To increase the protection of your investment, Bose has seen fit to include a hard case for travel/toddlers. 8. Ultimately, you want a nice piece of audio equipment to sound nice; these do. They really, really do. I listened to my favorites on Spotify that I had heard a hundred times and picked up details I hadn't heard in songs before. Use the app that somehow actually works to adjust to your liking. I don't think these were engineered to blow out eardrums, but you can get a great bass thump if that is what you want. Overall, you won't be unhappy with the sound quality unless you are really looking to be unhappy with the sound quality. 9. This one is maybe a bit nuanced; I think they are easy to use with the buttons and the swipe controls, but you might disagree. Some of it can be tailored in the app, but some of it will take a little getting used to. I do like having less physical buttons as opposed to more because I would inadvertently hit a button taking them off or putting on or I would fumble around for a button trying to do something simple like skip a song. Ultimately, my theme is function over form and these deliver on function. I am very pleased with the package Bose put together here and I think you will be too.

Patience pays off. Another good set of Bose!
Update- Three years later and these headphones are still going strong. I love my music to be clean and balanced, without a lot of outside noise interference. So I purchased these Bose NC700's, which is the 4th set of Bose handsets that I own (all working fine). But excited about the brand since an old girlfriend gave the first QC15's. The QC 25's, 35ii, and this NC700, have been excellent headphones for travel, and just for cutting the grass, if need me. I had tried the Sony series, but I had problems with the touch controls. The NC700's also have touch controls, but came out after the Sony's, so it seems Bose managed to correct the problem, that I experienced with the Sony headphone. Sound quality is clean, crisp and clear. The way I like it. NOTE- No Bose headphone I have ever owned (4 devices) has been a bass champ, but that is fine with me. The blue-tooth devices I can connect it to are capable of kicking up the bass, when I want that. The sound quality and noise cancellation was no better or worse than the QC 35ii's. Using It- It takes a little getting use to that when you slide the earcups up and down that they don't have any detents to click on as they move. Also, they do not fold down as compactly as my other Bose headphones, so I am extra careful with them. I've done a back to back comparison and quite honestly, I like the way the pads of the Bose QC 35ii, fit around my ear better. The QC 35ii pads appear to be flatter (or maybe I've just worn them down), so they mold to my head better. I also like the headband feel better. Phone calls- The main advantage of these compared to the QC 35ii, is the quality of the phone call, that can be made when they are turned on. To test it out, I watched private jets depart at my local airport from the observation stand. When I received a phone call, the caller had no idea that I was in a noisy environment. It wasn't until a plane came real close, that they finally said, "what's that sound in the background". Setup is a pain- These require that you download their Bose Music app, before they will connect to your device. Ridiculous. It took several attempts before I got it to work. Most headphones, you tell your blue tooth device to search for the headphone and you are done. Summary- When purchased at a good price, these are very good noise cancellation headphones. Even CR gives them a better rating than their XM4 equivalents. However, I am cheap. I will never pay $350 to $400 for anyone's headphones. But I got these on the Prime Day Sale for about $230 and have added them to my Bose collection. They will be used mainly for travel, with the QC35ii's relegated to everyday house and yard use. Bose headphones are good. This is my 5th set and I've no complaints. WAIT! Yes, I do! Battery life is not high on any of the wireless Bose. About 20hrs, but at least these tell you how many hours you have left. I have other headphone Wyze and Anker, they will run for 30 to 40 hrs, but they are NOT Bose.

Works perfectly with Teams...IF you buy the dongle
I purchased these Bose headphones for use on Teams meetings for work. I decided on these even though I saw negative feedback that they didn't work well for Teams/Zoom calls - my reasoning was that I am a former software developer, and having worked in IT for 15 years I would be able to find some way to make them function, right? Well, not so much. The good news is, once you get these to work, They. Are. FANTASTIC. I mean that. They have an EQ app that allows you to set the level at which you hear your own voice, and you can adjust the level of noise cancellation on a scale from 1-10 - important for me, because the super-noise cancellation makes me dizzy and I need to dial it back. Now the bad - there is a Bose dongle which is sold separately. It's not cheap, but it instantly resolves any and all issues with Teams/Zoom. (I do Teams meetings daily and Zoom about 1x per week). I did not try any of the off-brand dongles, as I didn't really have time to mess with it. My main gripe about this is: this is a known issue for Bose, and it seems to me that after they released the dongle to resolve the issue, perhaps for $400 you could include the dongle with the freaking headphones. Still a little peeved about this, but they honestly work so well and sound so good I'm [almost] over it. almost. Slight annoying: long battery life but they cannot be used while charging; just remember to plug them in when the battery is getting low and they're great. The Ugly: Amazon will not sell you the dongle unless you purchase through a "business account". I understand that Amazon has built it's business around marketing, etc. but this is just gross. C'mon Amazon - you already get constant business from me, I've been a prime member from the first year it was an option, I buy all my music from you, books, kindles, on and on. You DO NOT need my work email. I am a busy professional receiving hundreds of emails a day and I get enough spam and phishing emails to choke a horse. I am so sick of promotional emails and on my work email they are borderline infuriating. This was a cheap shot and I refused to go there. So not that it makes a dent, but I purchased from a competitor who was happy to send the receipt to my personal email no problems. Honestly, this irritated me more than Bose selling the dongle separately. But I digress, these are very high quality headphones that work seamlessly [with dongle]; one charge gets me through at least 3 days of heavy use and the EQ app is a great way to customize your sound preferences. Overall very happy with this purchase.

Top notch noise cancellation headphone
I’ve had the Bose 700s for 5 months and have been impressed with their all around performance. Now that the headphones have an update to add an equalizer they are tough to beat! Pros: Outstanding noise cancellation Adjustable noise cancellation New equalizer feature Excellent audio performance Excellent call performance Excellent comfort Ability to connect to 2 devices at once Decent battery life Sleek modern looks Cons: Bose Music app can be flaky Occasional break up of noise cancellation with extreme sounds. Not rated for water resistance at all Too expensive at regular price Battery lasts for me about 8 days before I get to 20% battery remaining and I have a long commute. From a practical standpoint 20 hours is plenty. The battery indicator is pretty accurate at providing the remaining hours left although somehow it never gets past 19 hours at full charge. They fully charge in 2 1/2 to 3 hours which is as advertised. Great noise cancellation. Overall works the noise cancellation works well on a commuter train. Also good at blocking background noise in open space office. I've used it when doing yard work and it does a great job of saving your ears from power tools. It can’t block out everything but no headphones can. There is occasional leakage of voices from the side and back when someone is talking right next to you. It is best at blocking sounds from the front. I have noticed an occasional break up of the noise cancellation with some sounds such as loud jet engine during take off or with certain lawn tools but that is pretty rare. The adjustable noise cancellation is awesome since there are times I want to hear my surroundings like when I’m walking on city streets or need to make sure I am not making a lot of noise with headphones on when I’m at home. Another strong point is the call quality. People can hear me clearly during calls and you can adjust how loud your own voice sounds on the calls as well which is a nice touch. The 700s do a great job too of blocking out ambient sounds during calls when you are speaking. The Bluetooth connection is excellent especially with Apple products. Another plus is ability to connect to 2 devices at same time. Great for use of laptop and phone. Pairs easily with my Windows 10 HP laptop. Automatically switches audio to the active device. Also nice job of switching when you get a call on your phone. It remembers every device its connected to and automatically connects without pairing which is awesome. It did have hiccoughs sometimes not picking up your voice on video conference calls with Zoom and Webex but these have been resolved with the latest firmware update. Comfort is excellent. I was a little worried with them since I wear glasses but did not find that to be a problem. They do not get hot or uncomfortable when you wear them for several hours at a time. The ear cup touch controls work great. I can attest that they work fine in cold weather in below freezing temperatures in Chicago. They only get sensitive if they get wet. Sadly they aren’t even water resistant so take care wearing them in the rain. The Bose Music app works most of the time but has its glitchy moments. Occasionally it won't find my headphones even though they are paired and connected to my phone (the headphones still work fine even when to app doesn’t connect). Also sometimes the Music App doesn't successfully update the headphone software. I did an informal comparison between the Bose and the Sony WH-1000XM3 Noise cancellation was pretty comparable. I found the Sony’s too boomy in bass for me at standard settings. I prefer a more balanced sound the Bose provides. The 700s look way better than the Sony’s (and the QC 35s). This is not an audiophile quality headphone but for wireless noise cancellation the sound is excellent all things considered. Now that the latest firmware adds an equalizer you can FINALLY adjust the sound! The equalizer has bass mid and treble adjustments you access using the Bose music app and do make a difference in the sound quality. The 700s can create some thumping bass at max bass boost and likewise the treble and mid boost is substantial. So a few niggles but excellent in every other area. Highly recommended, especially when they are on sale!

Fantastic Work Headphones + Audio Bliss
As an avid audiophile always on the lookout for top-notch sound quality and cutting-edge features, I recently had the pleasure of experiencing the Bose Headphones 700. Renowned for their noise-canceling capabilities, Bluetooth connectivity, and integrated microphone, these over-ear wireless headphones offer a premium audio experience. In this in-depth review, I'll delve into the key features, my impressions, and what sets the Bose 700 apart in the competitive realm of high-end headphones. Audio Quality: Bose has a well-established reputation for delivering exceptional audio quality, and the Headphones 700 live up to this legacy. The sound is rich, detailed, and immersive, offering a balanced audio profile suitable for various genres.
