hey everyone welcome back to another one of my videos finally we get an update to the bose qc25 twos did Bose improve on the active noise-cancelling with these new headphones how comfortable are these and what are these headphones all about folks this is the bose noise-canceling headphones 700 i personally paid for these at the retail price of $400 these things are expensive but we'll see if they're well worth it as always I'll place my affiliate links that in that video description below click on those links for the most updated prices in real time you never know when these things might go on sale also the bose QC 35 - I'll have a link there - that's in case both drops the price on those let's get into this I'm Jimmy with Jim's review room and I'm here to help you make that purchase decision welcome everyone to another review the most QC 35 tubes are an amazing set the comfort on these is what sold me at first and today it's still one of the lightest pair of ain t headphones I reviewed on this channel with the new Bose headphones 700 it appears to be a new line or a new series for boats and not necessarily a replacement now when it called in to boast the Rep insisted that these were an upgrade but yet they were still selling the Bose QC 35 - so we'll see were they gonna go with this so with that being said physically the black-on-black looks sleek modern contemporary but you can be the judge instead of the Alcantara and faux leather boats went with this smooth rubber like silicone on the very top and on the underside the band itself is made of metal and that does help create this premium feel when you touch it after I removed the ear Pet I did confirm though that the ear cups are unfortunately not made of metal when you pick up the older QC 35 twos it was cold to the touch yet crazy light because of the metal use that touch that haptic feedback that physical sensory I felt both had somewhat taken that away with this new model but for $400 that little extra touch a little bit better materials that physical sensory could have been better let's move on to comfort now I didn't have any pinching at the crown of the head clamping force around the jaw line was good I had a good grip right here without being too firm and wearing these for hours I never had any kind of wearing fatigue the ear cups appears to recess in as much as the QC 35 twos but when wearing the QC 35 2's felt more Airy open and my ears don't touch the inside lining with the 700s my ears do slightly touch the inside there and simply in general they do warm up but they don't cause any kind of ear sweats in normal office or at home temperatures in general these are very good and still competes with the main competitors the sony 1000 XM 3 is for example my compared to the rest of the market it's still one the best in comfort it's just that the QC 35 tees were simply better and speaking of the Sony 1000 X Mark threes here I'll have a dedicated comparison / versus video soon this video is more of an independent review on how it is or compares to the rest of the market now getting a closer look these are now touch sensitive controls and they work great slide your fingers forward and back to skip a song swipe up and down to increase or decrease volume a double tap lets you pause and play and holding down their right ear cup on the front lets you hear how much better life is remaining which is super convenient now there are still some physical buttons and they're located in the perfect location when you have your headphones on to access your voice assistant and this includes Google Siri and Alexa all you do is hold it down ask your question and then let go you'll hear the answer eventually what's the weather right now currently in San Diego it's 84 degrees Fahrenheit and sunny now with my testing this has worked fine and a few occasions though I can hear Google assistant thinking and trying to generate some sort of answer here and then it doesn't just give me it doesn't give me an answer at all it's a little bit finicky not 100% reliable just yet now I've noticed the physical buns are a little too sensitive now when the headset is on your head there's no issues no big deal here but if you're taking them off like so putting them on picking them up from the table sometimes I bump that active noise-cancelling button and it's not the setting that I want actually reduces the active noise-cancelling sometimes the assistant is activated and again that's not what it wants either it gets better over time with muscle memory and where you place your hands and such but still a small nuisance especially in the beginning now on the other side here and this is a very nice touch you can cycle through the amount of active noise-cancelling you have set through the Bose music app by default ten is maximum anc 1 press brings it down to at level five another press brings it down to zero now when you do bring it down to zero you have essentially conversation mode basically there's no passive noise isolation actually the microphones pick up your surroundings and actually pumps it into your headphones with my testing it sounds very natural and very clean now there is a very small two and a half millimeter port for physical connections Bose has not given up on peyer's just yet two things that I'd noticed there one when I plug this in overall volume is not as loud I can actually at maximum vibe in short it sounds better Wireless second you can turn off the Bose headphones all together and the headphones will still work it doesn't sound great as BOCES audio magic isn't on and then you don't have anc either but in the worst case scenario when you need audio and you forget to charge these headphones at least you'll still have some music to listen to now speaking of power let's knock this out here bose claims up to 20 hours of use and this is the reason why i warn these for 8 hours a day straight these things have auto off for audio when there's no audio playing the headphones turns off after a certain amount of time that you can set within the Bose music app very straightforward to conserve battery now there's also an auto off with motion detection and that has no options to disable I can't leave these headset on the table playing to drain the battery like all my other headphones that I do so I had to wear them for eight hours straight each day here no matter where I went to the gym eating lunch etc like the videos to support my efforts here but a 50% vine with active noise-cancelling on I was able to accumulate a total of 22 hours and 48 minutes worth of use those purchasing any electronics whether smart phones headphones earphones etc make sure it has USB C to future-proof yourself these Bose headphones use that USB C to also fast charge 15 minutes on the charger from a dead battery gives you three and a half hours worth of performance back to fully charge these things it takes two and a half hours now compared to the competition twenty hours is somewhat on the middle to low and unfortunately compared to other mainstream yet premium anti headphones like so nice and Heiser and Charlton name a few even beats the Bose headphones are still underperforming here on that spec sheet but to be fair and this is through my testing here not everything is just specs but 20 hours wasn't too short of a time to be honest with you with Roo world testing here they never died on me and never entered or encountered low battery to the point where it became an issue there's always fast charging I wear them for a day or two plug them back in no big deal based on Bluetooth this is really easy bluetooth 5.0 is offered and this is the latest Bluetooth technology available so that's a plus there yes you can pair two devices at a time using this on my iPad for example and then my phone rings the music pauses you can jump onto that phone call finish that phone call and then once you hang up the music will automatically start playing once again it's quite intuitive now testing bluetooth strength in my 1,100 square foot apartment here I was able to reach every corner I had 100% coverage with a signal going through several walls during my time testing plus the two and a half days or so wearing this and drain the batteries I've never had this signal Trump either testing this with video on both Apple and Android zero syncing issues across YouTube and Netflix from video the wireless performance was again perfect now the only issue though the music app is very much suspect pairing to my phone and listening to music zero issues now worked flawless having the app connect to the headphones sometimes it works sometimes it requires two to three tries with my iPhone I don't know why but it never connected and I'm showing you proof in the video I know there are many others out there that had success with their iPhones I know you guys are fine but the inconsistency with Android alone was worrisome the I think it seems to be getting better over time which is weird but again it's not a hundred percent we'll see maybe the next firmware update will make it better we just want good products right off the bat please last but not least before I get into the audio section these headphones don't fold in but they do fold flat after using the protective case it fits very easily into my bookbag as much as I like the foldable design this simply had less girth in general the protection is good enough to protect the headphones from scuffs now one major feature that's only available on iOS at the moon is boast AR or augmented reality there's a technically audio augmented reality I tested this with some of the supplied apps which is very limited at the time essentially you can turn your head and you can hear the source of audio stay in that same direction it was cool at first but kind of fizzled out very quickly especially when it wasn't a song that I particularly listened to but flip side though voices claiming in the future you might be able to not to execute a function there when you are walking around town there might be audio cues to help with navigation and there are some things that might be interesting it's just limited at the moment I'm keeping an open mind for this the folks let's slowly move into audio sound leaking is at a minimum when I'm blasting this at eighty percent fine that's really really loud speakerphone wise active noise-cancelling stays on but you can always turn it down with a button but folks let's give you a live demo of these speakerphone and the microphones down here here we go alright folks I know my hair looks a little rough right now I just woke up it's it's joke it make like 9:00 in the morning but anyway testing out the microphones only both 700 this is what it sounds like and hopefully it sounds good to you guys try to find the busiest street near me having some cars drive by to give you the rural test I folks back into the studios warm out here alright now as for active noise-cancelling this is where both improved over the previous generation if you're new to the channel I use binaural microphones to give you the best in spatial audio recording please put on your own headphones or earphones so you can actually hear the nuances through my microphone here we go battery 15 hours connecting cue pixel 3a connecting to pixel 3 a mobile device not found ready to connect now from my testing the active noise-cancelling on the Bose headphones 700 is no question better than he boasts QC 35 twos are they better than the Sony 1000 XM 3s which are currently the best on the market for anc performance I can't say just yeah please wait for that video it's coming soon be sure to subscribe and turn on those notifications but yes ANC has improved compared to the QC 35 twos and it does block a lot of that airiness around you it blocks out a lot of that wind and whooshing noises of cars driving by and busy areas with other people's playing music here in the background and simply just voice chatter of nearby people these reduce them quite a bit keep in mind ANSI doesn't have the ability to cancel out everything and it usually works best with certain frequencies but comparing to the competitors on the market the Bose is one of the best now these are not meant for the gym they're not sweat or waterproof here but again I had to wear them to test the battery with music on and ANC maxed out I don't hear others near me running on the treadmill they have their TVs on in front of them and I can't hear that hi there so the Bose anzi headphones 700 beats out many from the active noise-cancelling standpoint it's so real it's amazing I'm telling you it's no longer an underperformer and it's up there with a competition alright folks last test here let's listen to some audio samples but before doing so as you can see I put a lot of details to help you make that purchase decision so please help support my work by liking and throwing some fire emojis down below also this is a big request for me but please follow my personal social media handles that Jimmy loom official on Instagram or J loom official on Twitter I have the links down in that video description all right folks here we go all right folks here we go so tired awaiting God tie it over the chase I've been feeling like there is nothing in our Jason hides to breathe take it all in now see all I'm asking for is just some space and some time then I'll be alright I've been thoughts and appeal spend too much time by myself so many things that I still don't know it's time for me close never come back even though your taking just the best of Oh lose shine just tell my food thief and there you have it folks of course audio recorded on my end and then play through your own speakers are not the best depiction of audio quality but hence my review here vine wise I turn these up to 72 maybe 75% volume to really reach the enjoyable state at 80% the audio starts to jumble and you lose some of that clean sound it's loud enough but for those who like things even louder you're going to lose some of that quality up there now one thing I noticed compared to the bose qc25 twos these seven hundreds are indeed much louder I played these again usually around 70% but on the bose qc25 twos I'm noticing I'm bumping it up to 80% by to have these same performance but starting off with bass here this is no question Bose audio signature bass is very clean Naboo me but direct and just fast not bassy like these Sony 1000x m3s but this refined and tailored experience when I review the most QC 55 2's there were some that said Bose didn't have enough base while some said it was a good amount with these 700 s I did sense it's a bit deeper but I can see if those who enjoy bass this might be right on the fence for them I still recommend trying the 700s out and see if it's just enough for you the mid-range is very distinct the audio separation from instruments to vocals are very much appearance and because so you're interpreting detail audio resolution and a lot of audio direction there's times you can sense the beat is coming from behind you in a little bit below times a tambourine hits and it's slightly in front of you and off to the right in slightly up the soundstage is there not the widest and best that I've tested but for ANC headphones it's up there with being one of the best overall the mid-range is not recessed not bright either but what you sent right away more than anything is the audio direction and separation it is better than the bose qc25 - is by a small margin now the high frequencies were very similar to the rest here where they're just not high pitched or not ear piercing they're not ear screeching that's really good very well maintained and within reason some asses and vocals were very well pronounced while the snapping fingers on some songs here wasn't as high as I would have liked some snares didn't hit that higher note to just make those high notes Sparkle it's not bad but overall the Bose headphones 700 again offers that refine tailored and controlled music listening experience these are very easy to listen to I think it hits mass-market or right on the head with what most people would or will enjoy now if you're into classic rock or classical music no question get these if you're into vocal work this is still an excellent pair if you're into pop modern rock EDM these are a strong contender but if you're into bass may be hip-hop bass your pop songs I'd say you listen to some other headphones and compare them to these like I said I'll have these Sony versus Bose headphones coming up pretty soon less if you own the bose qc25 twos although there are improvements I would not get rid of them they're lighter airier very similar audio signature but I will met the 700th do sound a bit better but again by that small margin the ANC though is better though that's clearly I can tell that but what I'm saying though the 700s doesn't blow these out the water if you have for her dolls to spend though then ask yourself is Comfort a priority then get these compared to the overall market though I honestly really enjoyed the 700s there are no question one of the best ANC headphones out there but for what it does it's as though it played catch up with the best out there and that's not a bad thing but what made the qc25 2's amazing was its weight in the ear cups sony has the ridiculous anti performance bang & olufsen for example has the design style and materials the 700s performed great but for $400 I was expecting something class-leading if it was at the $350 price range again I think that would have been fine to be honest I would say keep an eye on the PXE 550 s from sennheiser those are due for an update I don't know if there's a new one coming out yet or not means that has it like that but of course these Sony antsy headphones Sony has been pumping out new models I think every year if your money conscious I'd say hold off on these for now and test them out yourself if you can before purchasing but if you get these again they won't disappoint if you want to spend that $400 folks let me know in the comment section below are these worth it or not to you let's see what everyone is saying help the gyms review room
