Customer Ratings & Reviews

I am one of those people who wears headphones all day. Literally anywhere from 8-12 hours every day, on a handful of meetings, and listening to music and podcasts in between. Because of this, I didn’t want to skimp on headphones. I have owned the B&W Px7, Sony XM4, Sony XM5, Apple AirPods Max, and a couple Master & Dynamic and Bang & Olufson pairs. I’ve tried everything from $300 pairs to (a very brief stint with) a $700 pair. Here’s how the Bose 700 stacks up. When it comes to sound quality, these are extremely good. There are better pairs, like the B&W Px7. But you do have to be a picky audiophile to notice or care. The sound difference between these and $500+ pairs is not worth shelling out the $500+ for. So it’s among the best. But if you’re a true audiophile, there are a couple better options. When it comes to noise canceling, again these do rank up there near the top. The Sony XM4 and XM5 are still the reigning champions in the noise canceling department. However, I personally didn’t find these disappointing at all (unlike the AirPods Max). When it comes to comfort, I know this is probably the most subjective aspect to review. But I do find these to be at the very top for long sessions. It doesn’t grip your head too tight on the sides, it’s very light (I know the Sony’s are lighter. But not enough to tell a difference). And it provides possibly the best ear cup cushioning out there, with enough room between the drivers and your ears, which does make a difference. This was probably the main reason why I settled on these. However, there is one issue that’s not unique to these, but is still pretty bad. The bluetooth connection can get kinda crummy at times, especially when connected to 2 devices (which it keeps automatically doing no matter what I try). I’ll be listening to music - or worse, in a meeting - and they will cut out for a very brief second. Although it’s very brief, it can sometimes happen a couple times every minute. Perhaps it’s something to do with Bluetooth 5.0, and it’s better with headphones equipped with 5.2. And again, I also had the same happen to a lesser extent with my B&W, so it’s not unique to these headphones. But it eventually became worse, to the point where I am back on the hunt for a new pair. Overall, if you single out one category that’s the most important to make your decision, these probably aren’t for you. There are better options for sound quality, or noise canceling. But those fall short of the Bose in other areas. So if you just want an all-round, good quality pair of headphones, these are quite possibly the best. Just make sure you get a protection plan, in case you run into those same connection issues I did. You’ll regret it if you don’t.

I’ve always struggled to find a good set of noise canceling headphones until I got these. The battery life it’s amazing. The sounds it spectacular, I love the adjustable EQ. NC level adjustment. The side controls are so easy and convenient

Hi, You can't really go wrong with these! I love the quality and how it was built - I can wear it for several hours without really feeling that I have a piece of headphones on my head. I can't wait to see the future headphones of this type that Bose has in store! Thank you Bose for your hard work! We love it here - keep up! Regards, CT

Very comfortable with amazing sound quality, and impressive battery life. There was an odd crackeling noise for 1 day but it has resolved itself. Great color (silver white)

I use these headphones almost daily, Very comfy on the ears and easy to charge. Wifi adaptability to phone/computer is easy and the quality of sound is great. Love the noise cancellation!

Upgraded to wireless headphones and love them. Just as comfortable as previous wired pair, and quality not compromised. Looking forward to next flight to try them out.

Love these headphones. Best for the gym or long waks. Perfect for shutting out the noise the world produces and invites you to escape in your own music and thoughts.

So I like these, they are super comfortable and sound great. My only negatives are since the controls are all touch based, sometimes I can accidentally end a call or pause content. Also, one of the big draws for these was the advertised improved call quality and call noise reduction, and while calls sound fantastic on my end, the people Im talking to don't seem to notice any dramatic improvement.

Very comfortable and clear sound. Clumsy to adjust volume, and tapping. Earpads are soft however does cause sweating in the ears due to the tight seal. Just have to remove occasionally. They are great as far being lightweight and easy to adjust. Have had some difficulty pairing and connecting, especially if someone else or your own equipment still has Bluetooth going. So just shut bluetooth on iphone or ipad.

I love these headphones so much especially for long trips. Some of my family members listen to Bad Bunny so I use these to cancel out that noise. They get mad because these headphones can actually cancel out their vehicle sound systems. I have the Bose Soundsport Free one's and those sometimes hurt after hours of use but these are really comfortable.

It is very nice looking cosmetic design. Comfortable Wearing even I continuously wear it over 8 hours while I am in the Airplane. ANC Level is pretty Good. Sound Frequency Curve is Ok ( Not so Excellent ) as my personal feeling. It is connect with Smartphone Wirelessly (Bluetooth) through Specific Bose App which is easy of use. However it might be difficult to pairing with other equipment (except Smartphone, Tablet) which can not install Bose App......

These are some of the best bluetooth headphones out in existence. Build quality and design is excellent and noise cancelation is next level. Audio quality is excellent, but there is room for improvement, but unless you have well tuned ear you will not even notice. superb battery life and control features. Overall a great pair of headphones but they are a little pricey, but i feel like its worth it.

This is a sleek set that gives a very comfortable feel. Battery performance has been awesome even though mine is still pretty new. I'll definitely recommend this headset

These headphones are great! They are comfortable (I don't sweat in them). They sound great too! After a couple of days, the app updated and added the equalizer. Alexa is and added bonus. The noise cancellation is awesome. I was cooking and had the loud vent fan on. I could only hear the caller and they could only hear me when I was talking. I'm glad I bought them.

Amazing headphones. I cannot use earbuds, hurt my ears and I am partially deaf in one ear. These headphones are super comfortable and I can hear very clearly.

I’m currently studying medicine and for the vast hours I spend reading and on my computer the comfort and noise cancellation of these headphones are remarkably amazing! I have very loud neighbors and fortunately with these headphones I can completely concentrate on what I’m studying.

I use these almost everyday. I use them at home for music, streaming, and just quiet. The noise cancellation is excellent, as is the sound quality. I fly a few times a year and love these on the plane. They’re comfortable enough to wear for several hours. My daughter loved mine so much that she asked for a pair of her own for Christmas.

These headphones don't feel like a pile of plastic and are more comfortable that the Sony 1000 and QC35s. I feel for the price you pay for this level of headphones, they should not look or feel like a pair of $100 phones and these don't. Sound quality is excellent and touch functions work well. I've only paired them with an iPad sofa but there was no problem getting connected.

I really like these headphones; however sometimes it’s almost as if they don’t fit snuggly against your ears/head and you can hear scratching as if they are shaking or something. Not sure if this makes sense but when I used them on the plane, take off and landing was not ideal and that’s when I need them to be the most effective. Otherwise, sound quality is great and they’re comfortable to wear long term.

I recently had apple air pods and hated them, they fell out of my ears all the time and didn't block outside sounds. These Bose 700 series are AMAZING. 400$ is a pricey tag but they actually do block out all sounds around you. living with numerous people and a bird who loves to sing noise is all around and I can block it out with these. Highly recommend for comfort and style.
