what's up guys is btw here and this is the review of the Bose noise cancellation 700 headphones Bose finally made changes to their noise cancellation lion for the longest time since about 2014 they've been using that same kind of model and same kind of look to their headphones that the qc25 had when they went up to the QC 35 they actually kept the same shape and look of the headphones and then they released the QC 35 2's with just Google assistant but kept the same design so today they finally came out with a new design on their headphones a new minimalistic look and also a hefty price tag to go with it at $400 Oh Bose what are you doing baby anyways guys we were gonna check out and see if these Bose 700 headphones aren't worth your hard-earned cash and look at some of the differences and how they stack up maybe against some sony 1000 X and threes which I believe are the top dogs at the moment so starting off with what's in the box you'll get a storage case the headphones a USBC cord and a 2.5 to 3.5 millimeter aux cord now this is proprietary so if you're out and you lose the core which I lost my QC 35 cord you are just gonna be out of luck and that kind of sucks I wish they went with a 3.5 to 3.5 I mean why would you not I mean it just kind of seems like the obvious choice but let's go with a 2.5 I don't know who makes that decision but it was a poor one they've also upgraded from a USB micro to a USB see now in this new design so next up let's talk a little bit about what's changed about this new design now they've got a different head band up top which I don't like they usually use Alcantara which was used in like Porsches and the expensive yachts they put that on the headband it was so comfortable it felt great to the touch it actually felt like you were getting a $350 pair of headphones instead they put on a band now right that is very similar to like what you would find on a Beats Studio 3s and we all know beats cuts corners when it comes to cost so I think that they cut corners when it came to this headband top and it's not as comfortable in my opinion the band is flexible which is nice I mean you're gonna just twist it all around it's not gonna snap on you which is nice so that's a cool thing they also have these adjustments on the side where you can move it up and down and it kind of just stays in place there's no clicking or anything like that very smooth and it goes with that new minimalistic design it really feels like bows like they went down on their quality which I don't get because Bose has always been seen as that company that was like the apple of headphones right when it came to like build them the materials that they used so it's kind of out of character for them to do something like this they've also changed the button layout from that old system to now they have three buttons on the right ear clip you're going to have the power button and voice control on the left hand side you're gonna have a preset for your noise cancellation from like 0 5 and 10 they've also got a way for you to control your music so swiping left to right is for songs you can skip tracks that way tapping on it will pause to play the song and going up and down will increase or decrease the volume now let's talk about my biggest disappointment with these headphones and that is the comfort all right the bose qc25 s from me took the cake when it came to comfort and bose has always been known for that no matter what they put out the comfort was always their first priority now with these the clamping force is there and I would get ear fatigue right especially with a noise cancellation headphone eye leaves were my favorite the QC 35 s were my favorite headphones for traveling when I would travel overseas to like Hong Kong for 16 hours I would forget that the QC 35 s were even on my head they were great for music listening for watching movies on the plane just great all-around headphones and they just felt amazing with these after an hour maybe even 30 minutes my head starts to get fatigued I want to like take them off I want to rest my ears and it just doesn't feel like Bose these don't feel like a bose pair of headphones to me and the one reason why I used the QC 35 s over the Sony 1000x and 3 s was for the comfort right for short distances the Sony's were better for long plane rides the bose qc25 s were better so they kind of took away the one thing that they did better than anybody else and said here we're gonna raise the price tack and take away all the comfort aspects of the headphone which I don't get the one place where the clamping force does actually help is when you're working out with them they're not gonna fall off your head the noise cancellation does feel better I like to blast mine all the way to the top setting of 10 I usually test these with a fan in the background at full blast to kind of emulate what a plane would sound like in real time and it does a great job of just eliminating everything another thing that it did really well is when I was snapping all right I couldn't hear my snaps and usually with headphones like the one that was in X and threes and the old QC 35 I could actually hear that snapping so it's nice that they actually improved on their already good noise cancellation it blocks out voices so for those of you guys who are working in offices or at the gym this is gonna be a great tool for you so that's one area where I think they did actually make these better the headphones now charged with USB see they give you 20 hours of battery life which is the same as the old one I would have liked to have seen them be competitive because Sony is running their 1000 X and 3's at 24 plus hours so I would have liked to see maybe 30 hours to really destroy Sony and be competitive they also gave you quick charging where 15 minutes will give you 3.5 hours of playback so if you're like me and sometimes you forget to charge your headphones these can be a lifesaver so let's drop a sound test other microphone right now Bose is known for having some of the best quality mics in their headphones so let's check it out though so guys bTW here and we are doing a test of the microphone on the Bose 700 series let me know what you guys think down below I have a fan actually going in the background to see if it's gonna block out some of that noise so let me know what your thoughts are down below I'll leave it up to you guys as to whether you think it's good enough for you to use they're also running Bluetooth 5.0 and I've never had an issue with bluetooth headphones from Bose so these are no different there's been no break ups even in crowded areas you've got a 33 foot range on these which is nice I've got just leave them in your gym bag or leave them at the bench while you go pick up weights or if you want to just have your phone and the overhead bin I don't know why you would do that but I don't know it could work so let's talk about the Bose music app now I had a ton of problems with this thing I tried it on my iPhone I couldn't get it to work or really find my seven-hundred headphones so that was disappointing so I moved over to my pixel three it worked it's kind of lacking in features like there's no EQ or anything like that but you can control the noise cancellation which is nice but any time you make a change it actually pauses your song briefly so I didn't like that aspect of it and Bose just let us affect the EQ you know if you want to be competitive that's what you got to do nowadays so let's talk about the sound a little bit not much has changed in my opinion they sound very similar to the QC 35 so if you're looking for a sound increase here or sound buff or a better sounding headphone yeah look elsewhere these aren't gonna do it for you but if you love the Bose sound signature I think it is not offensive to anybody it does a lot of things well works with every genre you just show them to a friend it might be like huh okay these are nice you know they're not gonna blow you away but no matter what else listening to tame impala EDM rap post Malone everything sounded great on these headphones it's not gonna be mind blowing like I said but it'll do the job especially when you are traveling and things like that you can't bring your Sennheiser HD 800 SS on the road with you these are gonna be a decent companion for travel it's not gonna satisfy the audio files out there it's not gonna be groundbreaking but it does the trick alright so my final thoughts on these headphones is to save your money get the bose qc25 they're more comfortable they're about fifty two hundred dollars cheaper and they sound roughly the same the noise cancellation is only slightly better here and I don't think that it's worth that hundred dollars more in my opinion they really missed the mark when it came to comfort and they used cheaper materials in my opinion as well so I didn't like that it's it's a miss for me you know it's a miss you know like yeah it's it's a Miss I feel like they could have done so much more in these last five years than to just kind of make this this isn't bosz thats not Bose quality I'm sorry it's just not alright so I hope you guys have enjoyed this review thank you for your time thank you for watching I appreciate every single one of you guys join the discord if you haven't already and I will see you in the next one it has been your boy bt sand
