Bose QuietComfort 700 Wireless Headphones Review

Bose is renowned for its noise cancellation technology, which can to block out the rumble of airplane engines as well as other sounds. Bose also offers a variety of premium wireless headphones.

The latest Bose Sport Earbuds Truly Wireless come with a slimmer, more sleek design than the QuietComfort buds and have a better microphone to make calls. They are also sweat-resistant, and come with a charging bag.

Active Noise Cancellation

Bose QuietComfort headphones are known for their excellent noise cancellation. However Bose also offers an array of high-quality Headphones For Sleeping that do not require or provide this feature. The products typically come at the premium end of the market and are made of premium materials but they're also lightweight, sweat-resistant and comfortable enough for long listening sessions.

The flagship 700s are a great example of this. They feature an upgraded eight-microphone system (six to cancel sound, two for picking up voices) and 11 customizable ANC modes that allow you to hear the world around you or block it out completely. They're also equipped with a "Conversation Mode" button that allows you to temporarily stop your music in order to make an emergency call or make a brief announcement.

Bose TruSleeve is another excellent feature. It's a removable ear cover that wraps around your neck and sits over your upper ear to reduce noise while you are out and out and about. It's available for all QuietComfort products and can be customised using the app to suit your lifestyle and ears.

Comparing the 700s to our top choice, Sony WH1000XM5, they have superior microphones for phone calls. This makes them a great choice for people who take calls frequently and need to be heard clearly while on the move.

The headphones can be connected to your mobile device via Bluetooth 4.2 and Bose's proprietary A2DP protocol. They support aptX Adaptive, aptX HD and are great for audiophiles with sources that support the highest-quality wireless codes. Bose also includes a 2.5 mm to 3.5 mm cable for wired listening, and they're optimized to work with Google Assistant and Alexa. The headphones have batteries that can last for up to 20 hours, and you'll get quick, easy charging through the USB-C port that is located on the right earcup.

Sound Quality

Bose is known for its technology to block out noise, which can effectively block out office chatter or the engine noise of plane engines. Bose also makes headphones with good sound quality. They're all compatible with the free Bose Connect or Bose Music app (older models) and come with a range of features, including audio settings, battery life monitoring, customizable controls and a choice of listening mode. They're also platform-neutral, working with Apple, Android, and Windows devices.

The QuietComfort 45 headphones from Bose are the most immersive wireless over-ear headphone. The headphones use Bluetooth 5.1 for multi-point pairing, and also have an USB-C charging port located on the bottom of each cup. The headphones come with a cable that has an 3.5mm plug at the other end, which allows for wired listening. They also have an ANC button located on the left earcup. You can adjust the ANC to three levels via the app and switch on hear-through modes for ambient noises.

They're lightweight headphones that are designed to be worn for long periods of time and come with soft cushions that are comfortable on the ears. The sound is lively and vibrant and has a solid bass response that's well controlled. The treble isn't as crisp as you'd find on top-rated competitors like the Sony WH-1000XM4 and Jabra Elite 85H, however it's sufficient for the majority of music genres.

The Bose Connect and Bose music apps also let you adjust the audio settings as well as alter the EQ. They also have a great microphone for hands-free calls, and a voice assistant that is effective in separating ambient noise from your speech when you are answering questions. Bose Connect apps and Bose Music let you adjust the audio settings and also adjust EQ. The Bose voice, which tells you about battery status and whether you're connected, sounds slightly robotic compared to the more natural voices found on the Sony and Jabra models.

Comfort

Bose headphones are comfortable, whether they're over-ear or on the go. Bose's headphones are typically exquisitely padded without being tight on the head, and they feature a an incredibly balanced sound quality that makes them suitable for most genres. Many Bose headphones come with an app companion to the headphones that comes with an equalizer graphic to assist you in fine tuning your music.

The Bose QuietComfort 45 wireless over-ear headphones are one of the most comfortable headphones we've test, featuring a comfortable and soft headband as well as soft earpads. They are light and sweat-proof, making them comfortable to wear for long durations of time. The earcups can be rotated around the plastic stems which extend from the headband. This gives you flexibility and ensures they seal around your ear.

In our tests, the Bose Qc45s delivered impressive noise cancellation and excellent audio quality. The sound is clear vibrant, detailed, and headphones for sleeping clear with clear mids and crisp highs. The headphones have a neutral midrange response, which means voices are reproduced well. The only downside to these headphones is that they do not support the latest Bluetooth codes, such as aptX Adaptive and LDAC, which allow for lossless playback.

The Bose Sport Earbuds are smaller and more sleek than the company's flagship QuietComfort Earbuds, making them ideal for running and working out. The earbuds have a battery lifespan of up to 5 hours, which is enough for most workouts. The buds are water-resistant and feature built-in microphones to allow voice assistant integration. You can control the buds with the remote included or with the companion app. The app lets you modify the settings for Bose Aware Mode and ANC.

Controls

In contrast to the majority of Bose headphones, the 700s don't have physical controls on their ear cups. There's an electronic touch panel on the right earcup, which can be used to swipe or tap your finger. Tap twice to play or pausing, swipe up to raise the volume, and down to lower it, and then forward to skip tracks. A single-tap answers calls, and a double-tap rejects calls that are incoming.

The headset lets you switch to the "aware" mode which allows for some permeability of your environment. This is a useful feature for anyone who needs to be aware of their surroundings while listening to music or making phone calls.

Another feature on the 700s is a motion sensor that shuts off your headphones after a time of inactivity. It's a welcome addition for people who forget to turn their headphones off or are easily distracted when using them. The Bose Connect App allows you to change the Auto-Off setting on your Bose headphones.

The app allows you to customize the headphones' features like the settings for audio, noise cancelling levels, and the languages used for voice prompts. You can also download updates for your Bose headsets. You might be asked to divulge some personal information for this to work, but that's expected for this kind of app. It's also where you'll set your Bluetooth connection preferences, and also features a a helpful battery reading function which lets you know how much charge is remaining in your headphones. Download the free Bose Connect App from the App Store on your iOS device or Google Play. The app requires the use of a Bluetooth connection to your smartphone or tablet. Once connected you'll be able select a profile, and then locate your headset.

Design

Bose has a reputation for comfortable headphones for gym, and most of their models do an excellent job of keeping listeners' ears insulated against ambient sound. Their sound is usually well-balanced and flexible enough to work across genres without much adjustments. They are also very versatile and sturdy. This makes them an ideal choice for traveling.

A large part of what makes Bose headphones so popular is their noise cancelling. The NCH700s feature 10 levels of noise cancellation which is impressive even at maximum. The microphones are also excellent, with six of the eight microphones tucked inside of the headband to help isolate voices from background noise. Two of the microphones serve as noise-rejection sensors to reduce background hiss and echo when calling.

Unlike some of their competitors, Bose headphones tend to have a minimalist design with only a few buttons on the headband. The left side of the cup features a noise-cancellation switch that can be adjusted and the right one has switches for power/Bluetooth as well as launching digital assistants. On the right side of the cup, there's a capacitive touchscreen that allows you to play/pause music, change tracks and adjust volume using a few simple gestures.

Bose headphones are perfect for use on the move. The majority of models that sit on or over the ear, feature plenty of padding to ensure an ideal fit. They're also extremely portable and lightweight making them an excellent choice for travel. Bose's wireless headphones can't block out as much sound as some of their competitors. This shouldn't be an issue for everyone users, especially as Bose also offers dedicated active noise cancelling earbuds designed for exercise (like the QuietComfort Earbuds II Truly Wireless). This allows you to monitor your surroundings while still enjoying the convenience of your music.
