Bose QuietComfort 700 Wireless Headphones Review

Bose is well-known for its noise cancelling technology, which helps to block out the rumble of aircraft engines and other sounds. Bose also offers a variety of premium wireless headphones.

The new Bose Sport Earbuds Truly Wireless are sleeker and smaller than the QuietComfort buds, and have superior microphones for calls. They are also sweat-proof, and come with a charging case.

Active Noise Cancellation

The Bose QuietComfort line is known for its outstanding noise cancellation, but the company offers a wide selection of high-quality headphones and earbuds that don't require or provide it. The products typically have a premium price point and make use of top materials, however, they're also light and sweat-proof. They're also comfortable enough for long listening sessions.

The flagship 700s is a great example. They have an upgraded eight-microphone system (six to cancel the sound, and two to pick up voice) and 11 custom ANC modes that let you hear the world or block it completely. They also come with a "Conversation Mode", which allows you to temporarily pause the music to make an announcement or make a call.

Another fantastic feature is the Bose TruSleeve, a removable cover that wraps around the neck and rests on the upper ear to provide additional sound reduction when you're out and out and about. It's available for all QuietComfort models and headphones Skullcandy can be adjusted using the app to meet your ears and your lifestyle.

Comparing the 700s to our top choice, Sony WH1000XM5, they offer an improved microphone for phone calls. This makes them a good option for those who regularly take calls and want to be heard clearly while traveling.

The headphones can be connected to your mobile device via Bluetooth 4.2 and Bose's proprietary A2DP protocol. They are compatible with aptX Adaptive, aptX HD and are perfect for audiophiles with devices that support higher-quality wireless codes. Bose also comes with a 2.5 mm to 3.5 mm cable for wired audio, and they're optimized for Google Assistant and Alexa. The headphones are powered by a battery with a life of 20 hours or more and a USB-C charging port on the right earcup.

All models are compatible with Bose Connect (older models). They come with a range of options that include settings for audio including battery monitoring, adjustable controls, and listening modes. They're also platform-neutral and are compatible with Apple, Android and Windows devices.

The QuietComfort 45 headphones are Bose's most immersive wireless over-ear headphone. They utilize Bluetooth 5.1 to provide multi-point pairing and the USB-C port for charging on the bottom of one cup. The headphones come with a cable that has an 3.5mm plug on the other end, allowing for wired listening. They also have an ANC button that is located on the left earcup. The app lets you set the ANC at three different levels and turn on the hear-through feature for ambient noises.

The headphones sale are light and designed to be worn for long durations. They come with soft cushions that are comfortable for the ears. Sound is bright and dynamic, with a solid bass response that is well-controlled. The treble doesn't sound as crisp as the top-rated competitors like the Sony WH-1000XM4 and Jabra Elite 85H, but still sufficient for the majority of music genres.

The Bose Connect and the Bose Music apps let you alter the audio settings as well as alter the EQ. They have a great microphone for hands-free calls, as well as a voice assistant that is effective in separating ambient noise from your voice when you answer questions. The Bose Connect and Bose Music apps allow you to adjust the audio settings and customize the EQ. However, we've noticed that the Bose voice that provides information like battery status and whether you're connected is a bit robotic, as opposed to the more natural voices of the Sony and Jabra models.

Comfort

Bose headphones are comfortable, whether over-ear or on. The company's headphones are usually luxuriously padded and don't feel tight on the head, and they come with a a well-balanced sound profile which makes them suitable for any genre. Many Bose headphones have an app companion to the headphones that comes with an image equalizer that can help you fine tune your music.

The headphones are lightweight, sweat-resistant and comfortable to wear for long durations of time. The earcups pivot on the plastic stems that extend from the headband which allows you to move them and helps ensure that they are sealed around your ears.

The Bose QC45s impressed us with their noise cancellation capabilities and audio quality. The sound is rich, detailed, and punchy, with clear mids and clear highs. The headphones have a neutral midrange response, which means voices are reproduced accurately. The only downside is that they do not support the most recent Bluetooth codecs, such as aptX Adaptive or LDAC, which would enable lossless playback.

The Bose Sport Earbuds are smaller and headphones skullcandy more sleek than the Bose's flagship QuietComfort Earbuds, making them ideal for working out and running. They have a five hours of battery duration, which is plenty to last through most workout sessions. The buds are water-resistant and have built-in microphones that allow to allow voice assistant integration. You can control them with the remote included, or by using the companion app. The app can be used to change settings for ANC and Bose's Aware Mode.

Controls

In contrast to the majority of Bose headphones, the 700s don't have physical controls on their ear cups. Instead you'll find a touch panel in the front portion of the right ear cup that can detect swipes and finger taps. Tap twice to play or stop or pause, swipe up to increase the volume, and down to lower it and forward to skip tracks. One tap answers calls and a double-tap blocks an any call that comes in.

The headset also lets users to switch between the mode of "aware," which enables some passthrough of your surroundings. This feature is helpful for those who must be aware of the environment while listening music or making calls.

Design

Bose is known for its comfortable headphones, and most of their models do a great job of keeping the listener's ears insulated against ambient sound. Their sound is well-balanced, and versatile enough to be used across genres. Their headphones are also quite lightweight and durable which makes them a great choice for travel.

A big part of what makes Bose headphones so popular is their noise cancellation. The NCH700s feature 10 levels of noise cancellation, which is impressive even at the highest level. Six of the eight microphones are tucked into the headband to isolate voices from ambient sound. Two of the microphones function as noise-rejection sensors to eliminate background hiss and echo when calling.

Bose headphones are minimalistic in design, with just two buttons. The left cup has an adjustable noise-cancelling feature and the right one features toggles to power/Bluetooth or launch digital assistants. On the right side of the cup there's a touch-sensitive touchscreen that lets you play/pause music, switch tracks and adjust volume using a few simple gestures.

Bose headphones are ideal for mobile use. The majority of models that are worn over and on the ear, come with plenty of padding that ensures a comfortable fit. These headphones are also lightweight and portable making them a great option for travel. The only downside to the Bose headphone line is that they do not block out as much ambient sound as their competitors. This isn't an issue for everyone, especially since Bose also makes active noise cancelling earbuds for exercise (like the QuietComfort Earbuds II Truly Wireless). This lets you keep track of your surroundings while still enjoying the ease of listening to your favorite music.
