Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700 review
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;
