Review: Bose Noise-Cancelling 700 Headphones

Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700 blends the same Bose quality you’re used to with new tech you’ve never experienced before in this category. These headphones are smart in almost every sense of the word: smart looks, smart design, and smart tech.

Keep your device safely in your pocket and your eyes up to the world thanks to integrated voice assistants like Alexa and Google Assistant for music, navigation, weather, and more. Go ahead and pick up that phone call as the adaptive four-microphone system isolates your voice and delivers the best call quality of any headphone we’ve tried. Or, sink into relaxation as you adjust the 11 levels of noise cancelling to customize your experience to the environment.

With nothing but a smartphone or tablet connected over Bluetooth, you can stay connected to the world and not have to reach for your phone. Touch controls on the side are simple and easy to use. The biggest change from last year’s technologies: Bose AR, a first-of-its-kind audio Augmented Reality (AR) platform that will literally change the way you experience the world around you while wearing these cans.

"Hi, everyone. It's Adam with World Wide Stereo. Today, I'm going to show you the Bose Noise-Cancelling Headphones 700. So the Bose 700 noise-cancelling headphones have a design different from the QC35s, you can see it right here, little bit more stylish, a little bit sleeker. I do notice that they don't fold up like the old ones do, but I like the design a lot better. They look really nice.

The comfort is the same, everything you'd expect from Bose headphones. Really, really comfortable to wear. They'll give you 20 hours of battery life, very similar to, again, the QC35s, but the Bose 700s have a lot of enhancements in them that make them different from the QC35s. First of all, you have four microphones in here. Made a couple of phone calls with these and everybody told me it sounded like I had the phone right up to my mouth, very, very easy to hear me.

I mentioned the comfort. The comfort, really nice cushions, fit over my head nice. I didn't feel like I had headphones on, which is always a big thing, for me, at least, is the comfort of the headphone. I feel like I could wear these for a long time and not get tired of them. To control all of your music, this has gesture control on it. So using the right earcup, you have tapping for playing and pausing. You swipe forward to go to the next track.

You swipe back to go to the track behind. Or you want to control your volume, you go up or down. When you first get these Bose headphones, you'd want to make sure that you have the Bose Music app. That's what you're going to need to get this connected to your device. Inside of that app, you may notice it might need a firmware update as soon as you get them, but also built into that app, you're going to get your noise cancellation control.

You can actually select how much or how little noise cancellation you want out of these Bose 700 headphones. On your left earcup on the back, you'll notice there's a button here, and that will allow you to toggle through your favorite presets for how much noise cancellation you want, or engage in conversation mode, so you're listening to music and you need to talk to somebody, you can hit this button, and now you can hear what's happening outside of you so you can have a clear conversation with somebody without taking off the headphones.

The Bost 700s are also Google-enabled and Alexa-enabled, so you can use them for your favorite assistants. So the Bose 700 headphones have AR built into them, or augmented reality. This is used with some other Bose products as well and it's a new and upcoming technology, and it can help you while you're listening to your headphones anywhere from looking and pointing at a map to give you points of interest or directions, to being on the golf course and letting you know how far you are away from the pin.

So overall, I was very pleased with the sound quality and of course, the comfort of these headphones. I get them. It felt like I can wear the Bose 700 headphones for a very long time, whether it's a long plane ride or I'm just trying to do some work, so a lot of applications for these headphones. I love being able to toggle through the different modes for noise cancellation. And again, you can set those as your preset, anywhere from 0 to 10 on the scale for the noise cancellation scale, and you can just toggle through right here.

The call quality was fantastic. People on the other end could hear me really well. Great product in the Bose 700 noise-cancelling headphones.
