Customer Ratings & Reviews

These are awesome, especially on phone calls. I bought the white pair on sale for $299 after trying my wife’s new pair a week earlier. Amazing battery life, good app, sound rocks, noise cancellation can’t get any better. The price is high, but again, I bought these on sale. P.S. I use these to cut the lawn on my tractor and I can’t believe how quiet they are.

My very first pair of noise canceling headphones were a Bose that I purchased 7 years ago. I still own and use that pair of Bose QC 15 headphones. Through the years, I have always considered upgrading but have never had a good enough reason to. Mainly because Bose is so consistently good with their headphones that all the newer models have been very similar in sound, comfort and function as my old faithful pair of QC’s. Well, I now find myself with a set of the new Bose Noise Canceling Headphones 700 and I once again am impressed of how good previous versions of Bose headphones hold up even today. That said, the 700 do feel, look and sound incrementally better to me. Allow me to geek out over the details a bit... - The Bose 700 have better passive noise isolation. The headphones block more ambient noise passively by just the cup and pad materials. The trade-off is that the headphones seem to be just ever so slightly more warm to wear than the previous QC15, 25 and 35 models. - The active noise cancelation is slightly better also. Perhaps not better but different. The 700 tend to cancel out a few decibels less of the lowest sounds (airplane cabin noise) but then block more than before of the mid to high frequencies (busy office or coffee shop). Personally, I do not fly much so I prefer the noise canceling prowess of the Bose NC 700. - The sound signature remains true to Bose’ custom but is ultimately better. The 700 seem to have higher impedance drivers. This means that it takes more electricity to move the electromagnet that moves the drivers which move air creating sound frequencies. Higher impedance drivers means a stronger bass that is more controlled and tight. The trade off to he high impedance speakers which take more energy to drive is twofold: 1) Listening to the headphones passively through the wire sounds significantly worse. These drivers need more amplification than the average 3.5 mm headphone jack provides. 2) Wireless battery life still remains near 20 hours. Personally, I prefer the slightly better sound over more battery life or better sounding passive mode. - The 700 have slightly better imaging. Closed back headphones do not do imaging as well as their open back cousins. The soundstage is still within my head but the instrument separation is better than previous Bose. So great to imagine an actual stage in a performance theatre and to be able to hear exactly where each orchestra member is sitting. It just makes music that much more immersive. - The highs are better! I read some reviews that say the sound of the higher frequencies such as symbols is inconsistent depending on how the headphones are seated on your ear and how good of a seal there is. I understand this, but to me the highs sound absolutely fantastic. They are not rolled off. A symbol finishes its ring until the very last vibration. There is also no harshness nor brittleness ever at higher volumes. The highs are very very nicely done for a noise canceling headphone. Now, if you wear glasses and do not have as good of a seal then your experience may vary. - The mids such as voices are more present and transparent than previous generation Bose noice canceling headphones. I have listened to many very expensive headphones where the mids get lost in the mix. Not here. Bose managed to have sub-level lows and ear tickling highs while still maintaining the mids. Very great. - The Bose QC35 first introduced us to volume specific bass equalization. In other words, Bose increases the volume of the bass at lower levels so that the it could be properly heard when it normally would not be present enough. The Bose 700 does the same! So great to hear the full frequency spectrum even when playing music at very low volumes. - Unfortunately, to my ear Bose decreases the bass at higher volumes - like over 80%. I would rather have this than to have distorted bass yet the balance is thus off at these higher volumes. Thankfully I never listen this loud. - The sound of my own voice during phone calls sounds more natural than ever. Really, this is hard to do because when wearing headphones our own voice sounds odd to us. Try plugging your ears and while you talking. It voice sounds like it is under water. It takes a lot of equalization in order to take what we hear naturally and pump in some of what the microphones are hearing on the outside and equalize it in a way so that it sounds natural. It is not perfect, but I am still in awe. I have never heard it done this well. - The ear cups are taller than previous Bose headphones. This gives more margin of error and a larger sweet-spot when adjusting the headband. Good thing because it is hard to get the headband back to the exact location where it was previously. I miss the “clicks” of the previous models. It made it so easy to count the “clicks” to place the headband exactly where it was proven comfortable. - At first I was annoyed by the physical buttons. They seemed too large and too openly placed in that I accidentally pressed them when just taking the headphones on and off. Now, they do not bother me at all. Muscle memory has me avoiding accidental presses. In fact, the buttons (both physical and touch) have grown on me. I appreciate how they disappear into the sleek design. - The design to me looks very fantastic. So sleek with the steal headband with very soft silicones and leatherettes. To my eye, my QC 15 look dated and the QC 35 series now look like a tank. - One final little detail. I love that the weight balance of the headphones allows the ear cups to automatically lay flat when I hold the headband. Makes it so easy to place the 700’s back into their case (see photo). As you can tell, I have been obsessing over these headphones. Most of these details I have shared may go unnoticed by the average consumer. Yet, I can’t help to think that most anyone will appreciate the sum total of the parts. Most will probably acknowledge that the Bose NC 700 just sound good, feel good and work well. Now, to my fellow arm-chair audiophiles - consider that these Bose Noise Canceling 700 headphones are an all-in-one product. Bose has nicely paired their own custom drivers with their own DAC (assuming it is a proprietary DAC in there) and also an amplifier. All the while simultaneously pumping in sound that cancels out the ambient noise. Quite a feat! Of course, you can get better sounding headphones elsewhere but you will also need a great dedicated DAC and then an amplifier. All the while, you probably still will be settling for a headphone that is much less comfortable. And, you might constantly be experiencing hoping to pair the right DAC with the right cans and amplifier. When I look at it this way, the Bose 700 are worth the money and do have a place in my collection.

decent sound and decent noise cancellation! I recommend for traveling and listening to music is just super!

Static when I advance videos is why I am returning these. I will probably get a pair of Senheiser Momentum 4 with much better battery life. I would have kept them if they didn't have static. I prefer the older design of the Bose 35.

I bought my wife a pair of the Bose 700 noise canceling headphones after extensive research into the best on the market as she's on planes 3-4 times a month. When they went on sale I finally sprung for a pair for myself!

The noise canceling is by far the best in this product line. I’ve always trusted Bose, there simply the best!!

Great gift. I wish there was a better setup manual for connecting the headphones to another device. I had to google it. I haven't been able to use them yet, as they were a Christmas present, but im sure they'll work great.

Would recommend to anyone looking for a great set of premium noise cancellation headphones.

I love it, excellent sound, durability and the quality.

It’s not as solid a product as advertised, the hardware is a bit flimsy but good sound. They should come with a case, perhaps that is why they appear so wore out.

I was torn between these headphones and Sony’s latest but ended up sticking with Bose. These are definitely an improvement on the Quiet Comfort 35 II. The headband is really soft and I like the way the ear cups attach. I miss that they don’t bend inward for smaller storing but that hinge proved a problem for me. The controls will take some getting used to for me but I like how easy it is to change the volume and track. The fact that they have a magnetic closure for the cord compartment of the case is a big plus and improvement. I bought these when they were on sale for $300 which was a great deal.

I’m 69 yrs old and I only buy the best that my ears can stand and this is the brand. For many years headphones were wired so to hear Bose 700 Wireless Noise Cancelling Over-the-Ear Headphones in Triple Black makes me so elated to its quality and standards. The Bose brand is a stapled device that’s elite in the clarity class. It is clear and to the note of being perfect. You’ll NEVER hear anything like this sharp ,clear and precise. Did I mention CLEAR I meant CRYSTAL CLEAR.

Love it!! I would never use another headset ever, I totally recommend

Excellent sound and phenomenal microphones! Perfect for music, calls, and especially remote meetings like Zoom and Teams! Nothing compares.

Bought this and I liked it. I always buy my gadget from Bestbuy since I arrived here in US.

The sound quality and noise cancelling this product provides is amazing! I can use these even when my kids are screaming and my DJ boyfriend is blasting music and I almost can't hear them! You can push the button on the left side headphone to pick what level of noise cancellation you want from none to 11. When it's at the highest, I can barely hear anything going on around me whether I'm at home with noisy kids or at the busy gym each day. At any point you can lower it so if someone asks me a question or I need to hear something I can just lower it and when I'm done just put it back up. A great feature for me is that I can answer a call in a busy place, like when I'm at the gym and I don't have to fight to hear what they are saying or vice versa because of the 8 microphones it has(6 Active Noise Cancelling, 4 for Voice Pickup, 2 shared). My boyfriend and I can have a conversation while I'm on the Eliptical at the gym and understand every single word I'm saying so no more excuse that he couldn't hear me, lol! They are super comfortable and lightweight which is very important to me as I use them almost every day for 2-3 hours at the gym. They have a gel like foam at the top and the foam ear pieces are covered in a leather material that so far is easy to clean up after I sweat on them. They are adjustable and fit me the best I've ever had being I have a small head and many don't fit right. They are a little bit bulky looking but I I'll take it because it makes them more comfortable. I was able to set them up easily by Bluetooth and on the BOSE App. It was only a few directions of how to use them. They can connect to Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant which is what I use. At full charge they hold 20 hours which probably took around 3 hours to reach but it charges up quickly. To turn them on you push the Bluetooth button on top right side headphone, the lower button is for Google Assistant. You can ask questions like about your notifications, ask the time or even tell it to play music. The controls for the music volume, stop, start and to answer calls is all by touch on the outer part of the right headphone. This feature is pretty cool and advanced but can be a little tricky if you don't touch it right like when I mistakenly answered a telemarketer call. One of the only things I don't like is if I get a call and I use my answer button on my phone it doesn't answer on the headphones but just on my phone, so I have to use the touch pad. You can also use these with other BOSE products like a BOSE Soundbar that connects to my TV. This is one of my favorite features because it allows me to watch my show from start to finish and I don't have to play it over and over again because my kids were screaming through it! I definitely would reccomend these to my friends and family! They have amazing sound and noise cancelling features that put them ahead of all other products in their class.

I am simply blown away by this headphone’s design and sound quality! Excellent noise canceling. Worth the money!

These things are a dream. I can listen to TV as loud as I want, and nobody can complain but the Bluetooth quality is not so great.

excellent product of very good quality, it is perfect and it arrived in record time, I recommend it

OMGEEE! They are simply amazing. The comfort of the ear padding are Lambskin, which is extremely soft on the ears. The head piece is soft as well. The sound is by far simply amazing! The music makes you feel as if you were at a live concert. They are absolutely by far worth every dollar spent. They are very user friendly & not to mention that I purchased the Limited edition (Sapphire Blue) which aren't sold everywhere. Thanks Best Buy for your impeccable customer service & well made product.
