Giving it some well deserved time, the Bose 700 are a great set of cans that you want to try out. Spectacular battery life, awesome for phone convos and of course music listening. While the sound is good overall its just lacking a bit in the mids area.

Bose is boss when it comes to noise-cancelling headphones and the 700 is proof of that. With a much higher degree of build quality, comfort and ANC adjustment compared to the QC35 II model, along with impressive sound and battery life, we struggle to think of a better pair of ANC over-ears.

Incredible multi-level noise-cancelling technology; Touch controls on right earcup are a cinch to use; Powerful sound quality and impactful low-end; Comfortable design - even for long periods of wear

Non-folding design may put some off; No equaliser (EQ) within the app; There's now a lot of competition - such as the Sony WH-1000M3; The name is a bit excessive

No, the design isn't foldable, but with something as well made as this that's turned out not to be a downside.

These brilliant Bose headphones offer class-leading noise cancellation and sound great, but they don't quite beat the Sony WH-1000XM3's in terms of battery life and price. Still, you can't go wrong with this fantastic pair of over-ear headphones.

Outstanding noise cancelation; Fun; lively sound; Stunning design

Battery life could be better; More expensive than the Sony WH-1000XM3s

“Bose's new Noise Cancelling Headphones 700 offer incredible calling for business-class delight.”

Excellent noise canceling, Extremely comfortable, Remarkable voice clarity for calls and voice assistants, Connect to multiple devices at once; USB-C brings convenient quick-charging

Boost to lower treble comes off as harsh; Requires Bose Music App to control many functions

The 700s USP is undoubtedly its new voice pickup system. If you’re someone who makes a lot of calls on-the-go, you won’t find better. Meanwhile the already exceptional noise cancelling tech is even better, and can be tweaked precisely to the user’s taste. Other features, like a band’s worth of voice assistants and the slick touch controls, are also winners. It’s just a shame that the app appears to be temperamental - at least for now - and I can’t shake the feeling that, although the 700s are far from sonic slouches - I’d rather be listening to my music on their obvious rival, the Sony WH-1000XM3. But if call quality and noise cancelling are just as important to you, Bose’s new flagship cans are the new gold standard.

Great new design; Noise cancelling is as brilliant as ever, and now fully customisable; Peerless voice pickup; Excellent voice assistant support; Let you pair two devices simultaneously;

Not quite as comfortable as the QC35 IIs; Buggy app; Sony’s WH-1000XM3 are cheaper and sound better;

I bought these a week ago and have spent the whole time desperately trying to get rid of a constant popping static sound in both earcups. During my futile attempts to get basic functionality from these, I discovered that the headband is uncomfortable for long sessions, and that the manual's advice for every problem is to blame whichever device you connect to. I am returning these and will likely try the Quiet Comfort next, since at least there's a longer history of support tickets to search for solutions.

I bought these headphones 3 months ago and use them daily. The blutooth feature works fine although automatically look for your devices, which is not very tech. Sound quality is good and battery life is very long. However, the intuitive touch control is not well designed. You can tap on the headphone to pause a soundtrack or go to next. But it resonates in your hear and defeats the purpose of noise cancellation. I think i would have preferred a button or an insulated touch pad. Sometimes wonder whether engineers try their own products.

I bought these May 4, they arrived. I took a paid day off to make sure I got the delivery. Easy to pair with my phone, Noise Cancellation is great, the technology is superb. I was frustrated when i could not find a volume button, so i came here today May 5th and I found you can control volume by sliding your finger up or down on the right side headphone cup. AWESOME I felt like Capt Kirk on the Enterprise.I am 38 year user of Bose Products and I have yet to be disappointed I have Soundtouch wave System , a Soundlink Spraker, Over Ear headphones that i will give to my daughter. And i have a Bose Solo 5 soundbar . I love Bose products
