Customer Ratings & Reviews

These headphones are good, but I would suggest looking at the Sony XM 4 instead. I found the fit a little odd.

I recently obtained the NC 700. I wanted to see how these compared to the Bose QC 35 that I also own. First let's talk about the sound. Sound is very objective but for me these headphones sound pretty good. They are not bass heavy but the sound stage is present through the lows, mids and highs. They could also be just a bit louder for my taste. You can also play with the sound signature on whatever device you may be using with these as well. Depending on the genre of music that you are listening to the NC 700 can sound a bit better or at least the same out of the box. I used these to not only listen to music but to watch tv as well. There was no lag latency while watching Netflix and YouTube. As far as the fit, these have a metal head band with the adjustable ear cups. Although the head band is metal, the comfort is very good. I've worn these for hours at a time with no head fatigue. The ear cups are also very comfortable and did not feel like they were over heating my ears. The design of these headphones have an updated look but do not fold flat. The case is still minimal and very easy to store and carry despite the un-foldable design. Lastly, lets talk about the noise canceling ability of these headphones. They are outstanding. I used these to talk on in a loud environment and my caller was still able to hear me with no problem. I was also able to hear myself talk without having an elevated voice. Through the app, I was also able to adjust the amount of noise that I was allowing in. I was also able to do this on the headphone as well but with a lessening degree of noise canceling. Through the app I was able to have settings from 1-10 but with just the headphone it was only 0-5-10. Last but not least the NC 700 has touch controls on the right ear cup that are accurate and easy to use once you get used to where the controls are. To sum this all up, the NC 700 is a great headphone with amazing noise canceling features and although there are still some bugs to iron out may have just taken the crown as the best noise canceling headphones on the market.

Bluetooth will not turn on. Tried everything listed on Bose website. Cable connection still works. $400+ down the tubes!

Bose products are the best if you care about sound quality. I have owned the Quiet Comfort 2 headphones, one of their earliest, for over 15 years and love them. The foam cushion on the headpiece was disintegrating, and the ear pieces had their foam replaced. It was time for a new pair. I was amazed at how much better the noise cancelling feature had gotten - not just for motor sounds, like airplane noise, but even people speaking. It's greatly improved. You also have control over how much you want to cancel noise. Control of volume, NC, on/off, pause, end call, etc., are all done by touch on the ear pieces and the instructions are easy to understand. The headset is adjustable and very comfortable, and the sound is crisp, with good bass, which is to be expected from Bose. I highly recommend these Bluetooth headphones.

The whites of the fabric looked discolored, the sound of audio did not complement bass oriented music. The input jack is not normal sized.. need to use the dongle for normal things. The method used for adjusting the size and fitment feels flimsy.

The sounds is not good. You can get best headphones for less

These are great headphones, I recommend you read as many reviews as you can and then read the instruction manual. Many complaints have either explanations or answers if you read the manual…. Bluetooth can be quirky for whatever reason but like all things there is usually an answer that has to do with device settings. Bose indicates from their web site “Bose AR is currently compatible with iPhone and iPad devices. Bose AR-enhanced apps for Android users are in development. Bose AR features and availability may vary.” Why exclude such a huge market?? Anyhow, in the case comes a charging and line-in cable, thankfully it is a USB C. The case, which I appreciate is very well thought out, there is a compartment for the cables so they don’t fall out when you zip open to access. I downloaded the Bose Music App and set up the connection to my phone and laptop, yes you can have two devices connected simultaneously. I was listening to music from my laptop and had someone call me, the music stopped and I answered the call. When the call was over it went back to the music, easy-peasy… The noise cancellation (adjustable) is second to none, including my older Bose products. I also like the conversation feature, very helpful when people can’t take the hint when you are wearing over the ear headphones…. Fit is excellent the pads are big enough to cover your ears and are comfortable without being bulky. Again, noise cancellation is superb. Sound quality is what you would expect from Bose. Hint if you are bass junky you may not need to look elsewhere but just know these are more balanced versus bouncing your inner ear. However, the bass is great, deep, rich and like I said, Bose quality. Construction is well done, almost feels as if part of the band is aluminum not plastic, but still flexible and light. Usage and controls are pretty straight forward and the buttons are easy to access. One thing I will say about my only real dislike, why can’t you use these and charge at the same time? I get they are wireless but it would be really great in situations where you can charge them to have the ability. With very little shortcomings these are worth it even at the hefty price tag, I would recommend.

Didn't work and to take it back for a Sony set. I was very disappointed.

Here is the deal, it’sa great product but if you are working out then it’s Keep falling that’s why I will have to return it.

The Bose NC 700 is one of the best headphones I’ve used. I personally really like the design which is very different from anything else I’ve seen. The sound is great for most genres with enough highs, mids, and bass for most songs to sound great. These are comfortable enough that I’ve worn them for hours at a time and kept forgetting they were on my head. The only gripe that I have is that loud noises like drums seem to kind of pop the noise cancelling mics and make a sound, other than that the noise cancelling in phenomenal.

Flimsy dull ugly in person. Good thing I returned them. Was supposed to be a gift. Not worth the price

Sound is poor. Jbl better than. You can use just for talking by phone. No enough bass and mono

Bose headphones quit working two weeks after I bought them. Won't be buying another.

Its not stable on my head and the ear cushion foam is too cheap. The bass is just as good as sony for less money.. i returned this item after 3 days... i would not recommend this to anyone.. bose wires are also thin and so cheap easy to crack unlike Sony or Beats so much better..

They felt light and like cheap plastic the sound was good

Complete trash. Controls work don’t work. It stays connected or doesn’t. Has interference or doesn’t. You would have better luck crossing the highway blindfolded then get any consistency with these headphones

In my opinion, not worth the extra $$$ returned after a short use.

I recommend the Sony WH 1000 they have much more options in the app and they sound much better

I have had the QC35s for several years, and now have had the 700s for a couple of months. When I first saw the the 700s, I didn't think I would like them as well as the QC35s. First, they didn't fold. I also noticed the (very very slight) higher clamping pressure. Then I used them for a while. Guess what, they are better than the QC35s in every way. First, I quickly found out that I didn't miss folding and unfolding the headphones (i.e. doing "setup") for the QC35s each time. It's nice just to pull the 700s out of the case and use them. Second, if you actually wear them for more than 5 minutes (unlike in a store demo), I guarantee you won't notice any difference in comfort. The 700s are just as comfortable to wear. Now for what is better. The 700s have *much* better bluetooth connectivity. They have much longer range, and I never suffer any dropouts whereas I do on the QC35s. The noise cancellation is also better. It has more levels, but also, it just works better and sounds better. I also think the 700s sound quite a bit better than my QC35s. They are a bit cleaner and more defined. I also didn't think I would like the rubberized headband as well as the alcantara on the QC35s. I was wrong again. The new one is much better if you sweat at all. I also like they touch controls and they work very well. Overall, I like the 700s much better. One thing I wish they would change though. That's the "conversation" button. It's a good feature, but you have to hold the button down while you talk. It would be better if you could (optionally) double tap the button to turn conversation mode on, and double-tap again to go back to normal mode. The Bose website says that you can hold the button for one second and it will go into conversation mode (similar to my double-tap idea), but that doesn't work. At least not with the current firmware. Maybe they will fix this. Other than that, I can definitely recommend these headphones.
