  • Well-made, quality headphones.

    These headphones are the gold standard for a reason. They are well-built and offer a selection of noise cancelling levels to suit just about any need. They pair seamlessly with every device I’ve used and have almost no latency whatsoever. My only complaint with respect to these is the battery life. I’ve had the headphones for about a month. They see consistent but not overly frequent use but the full battery life has shrunk from 20 hours to 16 hours. That’s not stellar performance. But I still love these things. Hopefully they’ll keep on kicking.

  • Best way to listen to 2pac hands down

    For some reason 2pac REEEAAALLLYY sounds great with these headphones on. Seems like they were built specifically for him. It’s like listening to 2pac for the first time all over again. Everything is crystal clear and the bass is sooo nice

    • More Comfortable than Sony wh-1000xm4

      I purchased the sony wh-1000xm4 a couple of years back for my new phone without a 3.5" jack. They sounded OK, but were uncomfortable because of the shallow ear cup. The Bose headphones are much more comfortable because they have a deep ear cup (recessed in the back) which better fits my ears. The Sony headphones are going to my son as a hand me down.

    • Second pair and would not own anything else!

      i originally got the first pair of bose 700's with Dell rewards points, cuz i would not pay $400 dollary doos for headphones, so for free was for me. i had that pair 3 years. now i fly home last thursday and today realized they were not in my flying media bag (nice string bag with chargers, ipad, head phones, charger packs and chewing gum), i trace my brain steps backwards and either left them on a counter after deboarding ( i get off the plane then put them in the case, back in the media bag) or left them in the uber. called uber and left a message.
      i have to fly tomorrow so ordered another set (this time on amazon rewards) i had to pay $45 so i can get over that, what i cannot get over is flying without them. nope, nope and nope.
      seat behind the engines? screaming kid next to me? idiots going viral on tic tok acting like fools and getting escorted out in handcuffs? nope!! none of that matters, noise cancelling 10 and all is good!!!
      best damn head phones i ever owned!!!
      if i lose them again i'll buy um again!!

    • Sometimes the power won't go on, Sometimes its difficult to pair

      The look, feel and sound of the headphones are great. But oh my god , the occasional glitches. I'll probably end up having to send them in to get checked out.

      Yesterday, the headphones weren't pairing with my Mac or my iPhone. I had to do a hard reset quite a few times over the last several months. Pairing with the Mac doesn't always happen on the first try either. I'll ned to power them down then up, then down.

      I've experienced pairing glitches every 2 or 3 weeks since I bought them. Yesterday was the worst.. Yesterday the headphones weren't pairing.. at all. I tried doing hard resets at least 6 times following the instructions on the Bose site, with no luck. Then they wouldn't power on. The charge was 90% prior to that. After leaving them plugged in for a while they powered on. Eventually I was able to get them paired, with the Mac and iPhone. I spent roughly an hour yesterday trying to get them paired. Today everything is working..

    • Bose delivers high quality as usual

      While I was initially concerned that some of the manufacturing materials switching from metal to plastic would be an issue, the main bar still remains metal, the noise cancellation and ability to adjust it is amazing, and the sound quality is even better than my last noise canceling Bose headsets. While these are expensive, they are great for listening to music as well as doing conference calls. The fact that I can plug them in as well as great for my computer, as that does not require the battery. The battery lasts reasonable amount of time and overall we're very satisfied. If only Google and Apple wouldn't make the ignoramus decision to remove the headphone jack from their phones, it would be perfect. But the Bluetooth works great and I can work around other companies. Bad decisions. Thank you Bose.

    • The BEST headphones EVER!!!

      I have had two other Bose headphones, but these are AMAZING! It's worth the extra few bucks for the Bluetooth and other features. I can pause and unpause music by double tapping the right side. Swipe up and down for volume changes and swipe forward to go to the next song. These options were not available on my other units. Both were wired. I've only used them twice, so I'm not sure about the battery life yet. These are charged using a USB cable. I'm hoping the battery life is as long as they stated in the description because I plan to use them on an eight hour flight at the end of May. The noise cancelling is exactly what I had hoped for. Bose is the grand daddy of sound equipment. Nothing compares to it. I highly recommend this product.

    • Almost perfect

      Fantastic build quality with a metal headband meaning it won't break from going from a cold room temperature extended use in a room with a hot running gaming computer (I don't understand how plastic headbands exist for more than $20). The audio quality is clear. They are fairly lightweight and balance the weight well between earcup pressure and the headband; resulting in a comfortable fit even if the cups are a bit shallow and my ears have to be tucked in just a bit to call these over-ear rather than on-ear headphones. They have rather strong active noise cancellation which is good because without them they have a pretty loud seashell effect. The battery only lasts me between .75 to 1.25 days of usage... So I just charge them everyday. If the battery lasted longer they'd be 5 stars for me.

    • Didn’t make it to the year

      Had very high hopes for these headphones because of the functionality between devices. I am sad to say that although the feature works great they are not durable. Have 2 of these (mine and my spouse), both started having issues around the same time. Static noise even when all music is paused, connection drop during calls, conferences switching to very metallic sounds in the middle of it. When we contacted Bose, they offered to replace our headsets for refurbished ones. Not sure if I like the idea of it but they are already not working so I might try that. Overall, liked the quality, the feel, etc, but durability it’s definitely a 0. Was hoping these could last at least a year or two.

    • Great at noise cancelling, not good for rock/metal.

      Bose headphones/earbuds are usually top notch. These have pros and cons. The cons were enough so that I returned them.

      1. Great noise reduction. Especially in airports and airplanes. The Bose Music app works well with them.

      2. Quality of build is solid

      3. Overall quality is good. Some light music sounds good, bass is tight with some music.

      4. Cons: Sound is not good for most pop, rock, metal, etc. It’s good if you’re watching a movie/tv etc. Rock/metal/blues sounds like you’re listening through a tube or a small box. The Bose Music app has a 3 band EQ but that doesn’t help, and in some cases does more harm than good.

      My Bose earbuds sound better than these full sized headphones. Better natural EQ. I didn’t want to return these headphones but I had to.

      I also had a third party listen through them and they had the same experience and the same opinion. We both agreed on the return.

      My fix is: improve the midrange and high end when listening to harder forms of music where midrange is prevalent. I’m honestly surprised these made it past Bose QC considering the level of quality Bose puts out with their other earbuds and speakers.

    • Best on the market for noisy office

      I tried the Sony headphones that all the experts agreed was the best noise cancelling headphones and quickly realized they didn't work for my purpose of calls in a cramped office. They did a good job at blocking out the noise so I couldn't hear it, but on phone calls, the mic picked up voices across the room as if they were right next to me. I soon discovered that I needed good "voice pickup" qualities not "noise cancellation".
      Then I tried the Bose headphones and not only did they pick up my voice - and my voice only - and filtered out noisy talkers even right next to me, but I walked down a very busy and very loud NYC street and the person on the other side of the call could hear nothing but my voice clearly. The Bose opens up so much more flexibility for making professional phone calls in different environments.

    • cell phone only

      The Bose 700 noise-canceling headphones have great acoustics. Otherwise run don't walk away unless you are OK with ALL of the following issues.
      --You cannot correctly control them from the headphones or your computer. You must use your cell phone.
      --You cannot control them from your cell phone until you give them permission to access your personal data including contacts for such purposes as they may determine in the future.
      --You cannot figure these things out from the manual. There is no manual in the case. The online manual (when you find it) leaves out many key details. An online search turns up additional information from outside sources. Some important things can, as far as I can tell, be discovered only by trial and error.
      --As far as I can tell you cannot get loud full fidelity out of the earphones because you must channel the signal through blue tooth, which can't support full fidelity. If you use a direct wire input, you lose the ability to control the volume.
      --You must be willing to pay $370 for technology that could be manufactured and marketed at a profit for $150.

      For this kind of money, the headphones should at the very least stay on your head. Nope. Don’t even think of lying down.

      The in-box instructions consisted of one diagram with buttons this model doesn’t have.

    • The left side will go out

      I’ve had many generations of headphones. I’ve loved Bose for many years now. These headphones are wonderful. But one side of the audio stops working after a few months, google it to confirm. It happened in month 13-ish for me and Bose says there is nothing they can/will do to fix it but they offer to sell job a new new pair for a reduced rate!

      If you shake and wiggle it long enough the sound comes back.

      At this price point it seems a silly flaw.
