    Bose Noise Cancelling Wireless Bluetooth Headphones 700, with Alexa Voice Control, Arctic White

    • I did buy these based off of the YouTuber Mark Rober's recommendation because of the promised noise cancellation quality of both the microphone and speakers.
    • Disappointing noise-cancelling--significantly worse than my Bose QC20s, which were released in May 2015.
    • Beautiful noise cancelling headphone with few flaws
    • The headphones do provide good noise cancellation and excellent sound quality
    • With their reliably long battery life, fast charging times, excellent active noise cancellation, and uplifting sound quality, these are a great mid/high-end option for anyone looking for noise cancelling headphones
    • NOISE CANCELLATIONOne of the main selling points of the 700s is its powerful active noise cancellation
    • It's wonderful to put them on and all the noise, all the distractions, all the chaos to go away
    • As far as pure noise cancelling goes my $30 china shooting range earmuffs do a better job (but obviously these are not headphones).Another high concept ‘premium’ device that tries to be everything, and just ends up being awkward, not very good at its core job, and very annoying to use.
    • Great noise cancelling, strong sound and comfortable on the ears
    • Great noise cancellation for plane noise (much better than QC 35 i) and wind noise (driving with window down), but comparable noise cancellation with the QC's for other noises
    • Dual bluetooth connection (to my PC and iPhone) was more of a hassle than a benefit because static noise would creep whenever I received a notification on the phone and during song changes
    • (copious amounts of fan noise) results is pure static white noise through the headphones at 50% volume of whatever I am actually trying to listen to..
    • I decided to buy 4 sets of Noise Cancelling headphones and then send back the 3 loser (with the intention of giving objective feedback).***My primary priorities were noise cancellation and comfort.
    • Comfortable+ Great Noise Cancellation+ Great Sound QualityCons+ Switching between more than two devices is still really annoying
    • The noise cancelling works excellent with the app and the microphone picks up your voice while talking and not the entire room
    • comfortable- sturdy- noise cancellation works!- music sounds private and nice- fit my small adult head (only minor slipping if I look directly down)- a pleasure to wearDislikes:- the button on the left ear cup only toggles between 3 noise cancellation levels (chosen in the app)- the app and the headphones disagree with each other regularly, usually about battery life remaining (trust the headphones themselves & ignore the notification pushed to the phone that there's only X
    • It has a very good noise cancellation when used with a phone
    • Other than that: beautiful style, comfortable (a little loose, but ok).Very very good noise cancelling.
    • I've been a long time user of QC25's and have loved them - lightweight, comfortable, excellent noise cancellation.
    • Decent noise cancelling, decent
    • The quality of the sound is great, my ears don't hurt after 6 to 8 hours, i don't get headaches from the noise cancellation like other headphones and the charge stays for 20 hours (2 months now since I have started using it)
    • This Bose had the best noise cancellation for listening
    • Superb noise cancellation
    • Excellent sound, excellent noise reduction, comfortable fit
    • Get the AirPods Pro, cheaper, awesome noise canceling features
    • Highly recommend them if you want superior comfort, ease of use and great sound quality with awesome noise canceling!
    • Not only does the noise cancelling not work but there is a static white noise that goes on and off similar to a hearing test.
    • The sound is incredible, the noise cancelling works better than anything I have ever tried before, and I can't wait to try these out on an airplane.
    • Ugh, I have always been a quiet comfort / bose noise cancelling fan but going to make the switch to sony I think.
    • No other weird noises... just clear noise canceling, and powerful
    • So overall, they are solid, comfortable, strongly noise cancelling headphones that are easy to use and pair with the minor aggravation of some background hissing.
    • Passive noise reduction just wouldn’t do
    • I learned after purchasing this product that a hardware issue is that you will hear static crackling noise - this will interrupt whatever it is you're listening to
    • Repetitive noise (AC) cancels well, but you can hear some slight white noise instead, which is fine due to fighting white noise creates extra sound pressure which my over-stress ears
    • I do wish the bass was a bit better, but I think that’s a sacrifice you have to make for the great noise cancellation
    • Issues varied from others hearing my voice completely garbled, to me hearing weird loud noises over others talking
    • Pro's - ○ Excellent noise cancelling
    • The ambient noise suppression that these new 700 headphones provide is a significant improvement over the QC-35’s
    • While the adjustable noise cancellation is nice, it also does not seem demonstrably better from my 9-year-old pair on the higher settings
    • The noise cancelling Mic works great
    • Regarding the Bose NC700 and the Sony WH-1000XM4 noise-cancelling headphones:Both have good noise-cancelling
    • but I noticed it can sometimes mistake outside noise for my voice
    • B&W has the best passive noise isolation (ANC off), Sony less so, while Bose has zero passive noise isolation.
    • These are the "best" headset in exactly one use case:You need the best ambient noise cancelling available, and you will only use them with one device
    • I would recommend not buying this or any Bose Bluetooth productThe noise cancellation, comfort, etc. are the reasons that get suck you in
    • It's great!EXCEPTIONAL noise cancellation (you can set to "10" and you will hear NOTHING", or set to "5"
    • But I found the Sony XM4s to create a slight uncomfortable noise/feeling.
    • Repetitive noise (AC) cancels well, but you can hear some slight white noise instead, which is fine due to fighting white noise creates extra sound pressure which my over-stress ears
    • Now that the headphones have an update to add an equalizer they are tough to beat!Pros:Outstanding noise cancellationAdjustable noise cancellationNew equalizer featureExcellent audio performanceExcellent call performanceExcellent comfortAbility to connect to 2 devices at onceDecent battery lifeSleek modern looksCons:Bose Music app can be flakyOccasional break up of noise cancellation with extreme sounds

    • Great sound & noise cancellation EXCEPT they continually autostarts iMusic and there is no way to change that setting.
    • Long battery life, great sound quality, excellent noise cancellation
    • One of the main reasons I bought these over other models was the excellent Noise Cancellation and Bluetooth 5.0
    • No other weird noises... just clear noise canceling, and powerful
    • The bad:It's not possible to disable noise cancellation without using the app on your smartphone
    • The adjustable noise cancellation is awesome since there are times I want to hear my surroundings like when I’m walking on city streets or need to make sure I am not making a lot of noise with headphones on when I’m at home
    • Now for the pros: Sound quality, noise-cancellation, comfort, are all simply perfect and I doubt you can find better performance in any other headphones.
    • This noise-suppressing headset replaces my previous wired Bose that I either misplaced or someone in the gym walked off
    • the headphones have some pretty decent noise canceling but for the most part these are a scam for $350
    • The sound quality is NOT very good (expected from noise cancelling headphones) but the killer was that I could not make phone calls or video conference calls with them since they kept disconnecting from the devices and made horrible interference noises

    • (copious amounts of fan noise) results is pure static white noise through the headphones at 50% volume of whatever I am actually trying to listen to..
    • In sum, these are advanced, powerful headphones that are entirely worth the price, but lose some audio quality in exchange for their powerful noise cancellation
    • * Noise Cancellation is phenomenal to the point where i would close the microwave or refrigerator door and would have to double check it because i'm used to hearing the specific sound it makes when it actually closes all the way
    • Great noise cancellation
    • Great sound, connect alright, and good noise cancellation
    • A GREAT JOB CANCELLING NOISE
    • My work gave us a generous work from home stipend and I decided to invest in great noise-canceling headphones.
    • so I’ve returned them and ordered the older model, Bose QC-35 II.The QC-35 II, to my ear, have better noise cancellation and better audio quality.
    • Love the noise cancellation and the comfort
    • and it still produced the static buzzing noise
    • They automatically shut off after making a horribly loud noise and this feature cannot be changed
    • Best noise cancelling headphones I have ever had.
    • In a nutshell, I've wasted hours of my time trying to fix these brand new 400$ headphones!!!Still the constant, literal headache giving, static noise for left ear speaker
    • They are so comfortable, they fit perfectly and they have great noise canceling as well as they are super easy to use!!
    • My hope was to quiet the noise, listen to music and easily transition to zoom, phone and music
    • but it has other problems that has me constantly fumbling with the headphones which I just didn’t have to do with AirPods or regular/less “smart” noise cancelling headphones which I definitely not what you want from $400 headphones:- it claims to be able to connect to 2 devices at one and switch between them
    • I have another set of pretty nice noise cancelling skull candy headphones and they sound like trash compared to these
    • Very poor noise cancellation, even on the highest setting for it.
    • Insane noise cancelling
    • My Bose QC II had better noise cancelling and bass response
    • I make several calls a day and invested in these, as a sort of virtual office, to drown out intermittent noise while working from home
    • Noise limiting level adjustment
    • I realize the Strike 3's is wired, not wireless (the Bose 700 is both), the Strike 3's mic is extended and detacheable, with really good noise-cancelling, voice-isolating capability, vs. the Bose 700 having a built-in noise-cancelling mic.

    • The noise cancelling works great and the sound is solid
    • Just purchased these, downloaded the app, started playing music from my phone, added a connection to my work laptop (since my primary purpose for buying them was to have a nice noise-cancelling headset for doing work & making calls - I purchased a separate boom mic for the call portion that hasn't arrived yet), and started the software update process in the app and shortly thereafter (less than an hour) started getting lots of loud static & interference through the right side of the headphones
    • Works extremely well, easy to use, long battery life, best noise cancelling I have experienced, and great audio quality
    • NOT THE CASE with Bose 700!Within two weeks the left headphone speaker developed a constant white noise static noise associated with the ambient noise cancelation feature
    • They don't fully cancel out noise, rather, they damper the volume - though, you can still hear loud noises
    • I am loyal to Bose and will always give them the first shot when they come out with a new pair of headphones, but I found the app, the features, the noise cancelling and the comfort to all be better on the Sony.
