hello everybody and welcome to this unboxing and first impressions video on the brand new bose noise-canceling headphones 700 which from your net we're just going to be referring to as the bose 700 now the first thing I want to address about these headphones has got to be their design now just going off of the comments on my last recent post featuring these headphones the seven hundreds have proven to have a rather polarizing design some people love it some people hate it some people or more down the middle like me but now actually getting to see these headphones in person I gotta admit I don't hate how they look they definitely look much sleeker and much different from everything else out there but definitely during the development of these headphones somebody in boses boardroom went and said hey listen if somebody's going to be wearing our headphones out in public we want everybody else to know that they're wearing a pair of Bose headphones and they've definitely managed to do that because these headphones really do look very different from most of the headphones out there which at the end of the day most headphones do look very similar to one another the only headphones that I can think of right now that kind of share some type of resemblance to the Bose 700 is maybe the Bowers and Wilkins px but design-wise personally they're growing on you but putting a side designed because ultimately that's all subjective what I'm really interested about these headphones has got to be their build quality and their functionality now one of the things I couldn't help but think when I first took these headphones out of the box was that I don't think the 700 are going to be as rough or as rugged as the QC 35 s now let me wrong the 700 you have seemingly good build quality and they better cuz there are $400 headphones but I do think you're gonna have to take it a little easier on these headphones then you were with the QC 35 now I'm not saying that these headphones are dainty but definitely you do want to keep them looking fresh now one of the biggest differences between these headphones and the QC 35 s has got to be the underside of the headband there's no more Alcantara it's now all silicon and when you actually flex the headband it looks like the headband is more fitting a little bit so I think it looks cool it looks like a looks a little alien now the top portion of the headband is also silicone now personally I did think that this top portion was going to be leatherette from the product pictures but it's actually all silicone which it's actually collecting a whole bunch of little fibers no that's not I don't know that's not cool but regardless the seven-hundred still have those trademark super spacious ear cups which are effectively what made the bose qc25 s so popular and so comfortable and just like before the 700s do have that same great feeling mouth all right as the QC 35 s and it still feels better than the leatherette found on the 1000x and threes and it still feels slightly better than the leather i'd found unto new XP 910 but with all that out of the way i'm actually going to put these headphones on for the very first time let's see if these new headphones are as comfortable as the QC 35 s or who knows maybe the this new yoke design has altered the way these headphones fit and rest on your head but let's see if these headphones are just as comfortable again they're gonna go on my head for the very first time right now oh then we gotta stretch this out a little bit yeah I gotta say you're just as comfortable as the QC 35 s now personally I was a little worried that this new yoke design was going to change the way that these headphones have rest on your head cuz they don't have as much range of motion compared to the QC 35 s or the 1000s and threes but you know what I think that was my biggest concern about this new design was that the yoke was going to limit or change the way that these headphones rest on your head but ya know there's still just as comfortable but I do think they have more clamping force than the QC 35 is but definitely still the bow 700 are still a very pair of super comfortable headphones okay and we're back now I've managed to see how I look with these headphones on and right off the bat one of the things I can say that I'm not really a big fan about these headphones is that how much their headband is sticking out you know personally I would have liked if they if this headband been a little bit more low-profile because a lot more headphones these days that are starting to come out or much more low-profile because let's take for example the 1000 X and 3's you can see that they're still and they're much more you know low-profile compared to the 700 and even the surface headphones hold on you see if I throw these on their headband is super low profile but if we go over to the QC 35 again these guys have that super you know round effect here they're not as low-profile and if we throw on these 700s these are still rocking that you know not as low-profile headband and work back unfortunately after an hour and a half maybe two of trying to get these headphones to connect to their companion app unfortunately due to multiple failed connection attempts I just haven't been able to get a V Bo 700 to connect to boses new bose music app which is the companion app that you got to use if you want to get access to all of the features on these headphones so since this is a first impressions video I gotta say that getting these headphones connected to their companion app hasn't been as easy as it typically is with Debose QC 35 s and boses connect up now unfortunately I did want to give you guys a first look of what the app would look for these headphones but unfortunately you're gonna have to wait until the full review hoping that I'm gonna be able to actually get it to work but the next thing I want to check out on these headphones has got to be the cabin pressure in their active noise cancellation now I know this might not go for everyone but for me the active noise cancellation on the bose qc25 s does cause me some headaches again this may not be the case for everybody but it is for me and it is the case for a lot of people who comment on my videos saying that they also experience a lot of cabin pressure on the bose qc25 so right now the 700s are set to zero so thankfully I can still toggle active noise cancellation on or off directly with the headphones without having to use their companion app so right now there are at 0 and actually I think 0 means ambient noise is coming through because I can hear myself perfectly and you know what it sounds very natural doesn't sound very artificial like the ambient modes on some other headphones like let's say for example a pair that might come to mind maybe the ambient mode on the Jabra elite 85 h's that one does sound a little artificial but here it actually sounds very natural so either way we're gonna go ahead turn on active noise cancellation see if the cabin pressure issue has been fixed 3 2 1 okay she just said 10 and you can you slowly feel a lot of the ambient noise go away and you know what I'm not getting any of the cabin pressure that I typically feel with the QC 35 there is still a little something but it's definitely nowhere near as harsh as the cabin pressure on the both QC 35 so again like I said this may not be the case for everyone but one of the biggest complaints that I've always had about the bose qc25 s has been their cabin pressure when you have their a and c set to 10 and but here with the 7 it's definitely not as harsh as it is on the QC 35s and you know it's definitely much more manageable for me which is actually a really good thing to see now the last thing that I will check out on these headphones has got to be their touch pads now this has been rather controversial again because if the 700s are moving away from physical buttons like on the QC 35 and instead moving to a touch pad which granted is just this little section right here so let's see what the accuracy is like so we're just gonna throw up the phone right there there's Old Town Road am I doing this right double tap it's a double tap okay okay double tap pause this and plays oh hold on that's loud can you okay I'm very used to Sony lowering and raising the volume of it okay but okay hold on let's can we skip skip it's you know the hold on and pause okay there's definitely going to be a learning curve there but right now with the volume it only it looks like you got it nope hold on you got a play and you got a like go up every step all right in pause that alright so I think we're gonna leave it at that so this has been a first impressions video on the new bose noise-canceling headphones 700 a ka v 700 or maybe they're gonna go by and see 700 so i don't know but either way this has been a first impressions video so like I said the design of these headphones has has been rather polarizing but actually getting to see them in person I think their design is actually starting to grow on me they're still definitely just as comfortable as appose QC 35 s but personally I don't think there want to be as rugged but more importantly the active noise cancellation on these at least the cabin pressure has been improved from the bose qc25 which is great but definitely we still got a test them and see how well they do of blocking out sound so but at least a cabin pressure first impression wise a lot better as for the touchpad I think the touchpad is a bit too small but maybe there might be a learning curve maybe I just gotta get used to it because again I am very used to the touchpad on the Sony 1000x and threes but overall the bow 700s have made a okay first impression when makers again still these headphones do have a lot of hype to live up to especially since you know they're if they're not replacing the Bose QC 3 5s but you know the bar has already been set and again these headphones do have to do a little better than the bose qc25 is because these guys are going up from $350 to $400 but guys I think we're gonna leave it at that look out for a few videos on these headphones in the future but other than that I'll catch you guys next time if you made it this far I guess you enjoyed the video so hit
