Customer Ratings & Reviews

The noise cancellation is amazing, they feel comfortable for hours and the design is perfect

If all you care about is the audio listening experience, there are many alternatives. The main reason to get these headphones is if you are in conference calls that are in noisy environments. The microphone does a very good job of filtering out the background noise. Also if you are in meetings most of the day these last about 19 hours compared to 4-6 hours for earbuds.

I will recommend these headphones. The comfort, the sound, battery life, phone calls.

These are the most expensive, and best, headphones I have ever owned. I expect these to last me for many years. The build quality and styling is excellent, and the comfort and sound are so very good. I use these for listening to music, talking on the phone, and watching programs via Fire Stick. Here's a breakdown of some of my observations: Noise cancellation - My first real use of the ANC was on an airplane, and I was pleased. This was very good on the airplane - the engine noises weren't completely blocked but these helped a lot and I was comfortably able to listen to my music and movie. I like the ability to switch through 3 settings (off, half, full) with the button on the left earcup. Fit and comfort - At first I had some minor ear pain but after a week of using them that went away. I am not sure if I subtly adjusted the way I was wearing them, or if the pads softened up a tad with use. My ears do feel a bit warm/itchy after a few hours, but it's not bad and that usually means it's time to give my ears a break anyway. The adjustments on the ear cups are smooth and hold fast. The headphones are lightweight, and the padding at the top of the head is nice. For me they are not as comfortable as the QC 35 II but are at least as good as Sony WH-1000XM4 Appearance - I love the streamlined look. I am in love with the soapstone color, which was actually cheaper than the other colors at the time I had bought them (plus was on sale). The look of these was the ultimate deciding factor vs Sony WH-1000XM4. Charging / battery - You cannot charge and use them at the same time, which I almost let be a deal-breaker for me. But the battery life has been great ( I charge them every other day) and the quick charge to give them a few hours is great for when I forget to charge. Sound quality - I am not an audiophile and as an older user my hearing is not as sharp as it was in my younger days. So, the nuanced differences in sound quality between Bose and Sony are lost on me. That being said, I love the sound of these headphones and use them for music, phone calls, and also connect them to my Fire Stick when watching Netflix, Twitch, etc. Absolutely no noise escapes to bother others in the vicinity regardless of the volume. I have used the Bose app to bump up the bass, mid, and treble. I just listened to Bad Guy (Billie Eilish) and it made the hair on my arms stand up, and I have listened to orchestral music and you can almost visualize the various sections of instruments. Controls - The touch controls on the right earcup are very intuitive. I am still getting used to the exact location of the sensor; sometimes I wish it were a little larger, but then I realize that I would likely inadvertently touch it when adjusting the headphones on my head. The location of the Bluetooth/power and ANC buttons make them easy to use and I appreciate the size of them so that they are easy to find, and differentiate the 2 buttons on the right side. I have yet to use the Voice Assistant button. Pairing - Pairing has been pretty painless. These headphones can maintain a connection with 2 devices at any one time, which is convenient. And it's simple to swap out devices as needed; I currently rotate between about 5 devices.

This headphones are amazing!! They produce great sound quality and are also light on your head. I love wearing them for the gym or while doing homework. These are the perfect pair of headphones, I love them.

I’ve had QC35 for years and decided to change it up. The sound quality and noise cancelling feature in this device is definitely better than QC35. The main issue I have with this is the battery life. It doesn’t last as long as QC35. Comfort-wise, both are good; but if you plan to wear if for a whole day like I do (coz I mainly use it to cancel the noise around me while working), QC35 wins. However, when it comes to sturdiness, I believe this one wins over QC35.

I'm not an audiophile but the Bose 700 headphones sound great - from rock to jazz to classical to podcasts - I have no complaints. Noise cancellation is awesome. They are very comfortable. I like how easy it is to switch between devices, just pause one and start the second. Bluetooth 5.0 let's me leave my phone in one room and go to another without the music dropping out. No kag when watching movies.

Got a new daith piercing and can no longer wear earbuds. I also have fresh upper cartilage piercings and have to be careful of the headphones pressing against them. These headphones are extremely comfortable on my ears and against my head. And the sound is great, too. Also, the controls are very innovative for wireless headphones.

The headphones sound amazing! They also work with my pc so that’s a plus. The noise cancellation works really well on these headphones! The battery for my use case lasts me almost a whole day!

Long battery life,the sound is so perfect ,fits over ear very comfortable

These are my second set of Bose headsets and the noise cancelation is even better than the first set I had. Love the swipe technology and the long lasting battery lifetime. Just came back from a 15 hour flight and used the headset for the entire time with no problem.

Lots of people compare these with the Sony MX3’s. I’ve tried both, kept these and returned the Sony...here is why. Call quality, both outside, in noisy environments and everywhere in between is much better on the Bose. I found the Sony’s impossible to use for calls when outside. I also experienced the infamous cold weather phantom touch problem with the Sonys. When you are in cold weather, that touch controls go crazy, making them unusable outside. I find the sound quality different between both of them. I would not say one is better. In fact, I would not use ANY NC headphone for serious listening. They simply won’t be as good as comparable priced non NC headphones. Still, both are pretty good for commuting on noisy trains, damping chatter in an office, or flying. The one ding on the Bose is the AP is not reliable yet. For me, with an iphone, it will only work if the phone is connected to WiFi. Even then, I sometime have to tell it to repair the phone, even if it is already paired. Luckily, the app adds almost no functionality once through initial set up, but Bose needs to get its act together on this front.

Nice build, excellent ANC, fairly comfortable. Just don't enjoy the sound signature, base is ok, they are well balanced and clean, no muddiness at all. Just not an exciting headphone, kinda dull. You may love them, I just don't. Sony has better ANC and very good sound when EQd. You have Bose people and non Bose people, I guess I'm just not a Bose person. sorry

Bose headphones 700 excellent sound and quality. It is comfortable. Connectivity is good even though needs improvement. Very pleased with it.

My husband got these for me because my other headset hurt my ears. These fit over my ears totally, so I I can listen in comfort. the noise cancellation part is great! I can listen to sewing or quilting videos on you-tube while he watches television and not be disturbed. I can get up to do other stuff, because I"m not tethered to the computer!! Needles to say, great sound ... after all they are Bose!!

Noise Cancelling is awesome, I will put it to level 10 when someone is talking to me and wont hear a thing; I just smile at them while listening to my favorite jam (haha). My only complaint is when i want to take them off, they hug my head and I will accidentally gripped onto the buttons and would turn them off or change settings (takes time to learn not to place fingers there). Media Control on them are very convenient and quick to learn.

I’ve had these for about three weeks. Bought them knowing I was going to be doing more traveling for work. I have used twice on my trips, and absolutely love them. They are comfortable, and the noise canceling adjustment is great! I would highly recommend!

I bought an extra set of these to use outside while mowing and driving my tractor toi eliminate noise and make th etime go by faster with my programmed music. So very comfortable. The only thing I don't like is that when I perspire, there is not a good way to completely clean to pads around the ears. I guess the material will eventually degrade but so far so good.

This is my first pair of Bose headphones so I can't compare these with the earlier model, other than the specs that you can research yourself. More levels of the noise cancelling. These paired with my iPhone and computer no problem. They are comfortable at first wear but I can see where they would start to be uncomfortable after extended wear. Great isolation. Too expensive, and Bose didn't discount their earlier model much, so that subtracted a star from this review.

Best audio, best quality, best noise canselation, light weight and good battery life
