If you’re looking into getting a pair of ANC headphones… then chances are you’re probably looking into getting something from Bose. Now both the NC 700’s and QC45’s are great headphones… however these headphones are very different from one another. They look, fit, and perform very differently. So lets see which one is right for you.

I bought the QC45's right after Christmas, just returned them for 700's. The 45's were great, except had major sound leakage. People around me were both distracted and somewhat annoyed. The 700's seem to be much better. This is an aspect that no one seems to mention in reviews.
Probs coz of your ear size or shape. The fit was probably not fit for you on 45
Exactly the same reason why I sold my qc45 for the 700
What volume did you listen on?
@@shehzad2519 I think the ear openings were the same size.
@@dope5684 sound leakage dramatically lower on 700s at exact same volume.
Just found your channel. I rarely post comments but I just had to say your reviews are the best I’ve seen. Love the head to head comparisons. Just heard the sennheiser comparisons as well. You got my sub!
I have the nc700's and they are a great set of headphones. When you can use that custom E-Q setting with the 700s, that really helps in the quality of music. I remember when the E-Q setting wasn't accessible with voiceover, then bose had an update to the music app. That fixed the problem. The sound of my music really improved once I could set my EQ the way I wanted it. I'm glad I made the purchase of the nc700s.
Both have adjusable eqs now
Really helpful insights! Especially for the Mic quality.
Superb detailed comparison review, thanks!
This helped a lot, super in depth. Thanks a bunch!!!
Super helpful! Would you say, regarding comfort, if the qc45 cabin pressure out-prioritizes the lower clamping function?
i got the qc45's and i love them so muchhhh they also have customizable eq now so its been really nice for me
One of the most informative videos I have seen. Great job man.
Just watched this for a second time and realised how much good information you packed into a relatively short time! I picked up a lot more this time around. Once again, many thanks for a job well done.
Awesome! Thank you!
This is exactly the video I needed in my life you're channel is one of my favorite stuff 😳🤣
Another great review and good detail as always. Was waiting your reviews to drop on the QC 45 was so nice when ya posted. Keep up the good work!
The most informative and detailed review about this pair I've seen. I love the way you put in even small details like the cabin pressure or the lack of ANC OFF mode on QC45. It's one of the deciding factor to me but never got mentioned in any previous reviews that I watched. Thank you and keep up the good work. You got one more subscriber bro! 🥰
Glad it was helpful!
@@GYMCADDY But do you think any chance Bose will add the ANC OFF option in an upcoming firmware update since this could be a dealbreaker for some like me?
12:02 - You forgot to change the text from AirPods Pro to AirPods Max. Not a big issue, but funny to mention it. Thanks, GymCaddy. Another awesome video. I can't wait for your comparison against the XM4.
Thank you for this video! Which one would be good for working out in the gym? Like sweat resistance wise and overall quality?
Your reviews are great!
Thank you, this video helped me a lot.
Fantastic review, exactly what I was looking for. I am autistic and am going to buy my first noise canceling headphones and I wasn’t sure which one to go for. I am choosing the NC 700 based on this review! Thank you so much!
Autistic here, how good is the noise cancelling for the 700s?
So I need some new headphones and ambient mode is the biggest feature I need given where I work and needing to here whats around me. I *really* appreciate you doing such a detailed comparison because I was leaning towards the QC45s before. Thank you so much 🙏
sony has the best ambient mode all of their products.
I haven't tried the QC 45, but I've tried QC 35 II, QC 25, QC 20, WH-1000XM4, WH-1000XM3, and NC 700, and among those, NC 700 is the clear winner in terms of call mic quality in noisy environments. The noise suppression is excellent for a headset without an annoying boom mic in front of your mouth.
Yep the QC45 now has an equalizer. Just got mine on sales on Amazon to replace my QC35. The QC35 has been great but started getting a bit flaky lately. The QC45 is great so far. They wear just like the QC35. Sound with the EQ is better and noise cancelling is also better. So far so good.
Excellent review!
First, thank you for the excellent review. I appreciated the detailed explanations regarding the differences of the two headphones. I currently have a QC 35, which I've had for many years and while they still work perfectly, they are looking a little worse for wear. I've looked to purchase the Sony XM4, and the QC45 or 700. It really ticks me off that Bose did not add the EQ feature on the QC 45! Personally, I don't like the touchpad controls, so I leaned towards the QC 45, however, it makes me mad that Bose did not include the EQ feature on the 45 in order to induce me to buy the 700. The XM4 are now more expensive, however, I hope Bose gets its act together and add the EQ feature and the ability to shut off the NC. For now, I'm going to wait and see. Your review helped me realize to wait for a better product before I shell out $$$. Thank you.
Late to the party, but just wanted to say that you explained their properties well to a non-audiophile. Excellent summary and convinced me that the QC45 is the way to go for me. Thank you! (And of course subscribed. :) )
Great review!
Thank you, for the video 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
genuinely the best in depth and most detailed reviews
Thanks for the useful information. Can you please do a video comparing the QC45 with the Razer Opus?
I have one important question about the QC45s vs NC700
Do the QC45s suffer from the same problem the QC35s have where it randomly turns on when the power switch is off? And do the NC700s have a similar problem? (The NC700s have a button rather than a slider so I'd assume not).
I had the QC35s. I was torn on getting the QC35ii or NCH700. I remember everyone online who had QCs saying they returned their NCH 700s after like 2 days back when they came out. I almost returned them that day too. Then I got used to them. They even sounded different. But they're better. Best headphones out bar none.
Dude. You should have more viewers. You're clear, concise and informative.
Oh, the miniatures are hilarious.
I watched your video today and I was able to make a right call on my part as to which product I should select between the two.
I'm an upcoming grad student and I'm looking for an ANC headphones but I'm torn between these two. What do you think would suit me best if I intend to use it primarily on listening to lectures, zoom meetings, and from time to time, music?
Do both headphones have the MusicShare function like the QC35 II when using the app?
Good review! Can you link me to those headphone holders you have? Thanks!
Went from QC25s to 700s. The 700s fall off my head and get hot . They are amazing for calls and noise cancellation. But I where my headphones while on the go and doing housework.
Was thinking of getting the 35s or 45s
I am looking at these for an update to the QC25s that I have used for years. I travel and the option to use the aux wire is a must on international flights where I can use them for the in-flight movies.
Where did you get the patent print/poster? Really nice looking. Thanks!
Thanks for your good coverage of the ergos. I've decided - for my needs, which include lots of gym time, I'm going with the QC45's.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks, the best impressive review for me including my country Japan, the Japanese subtitle was really working very well and decided to be a subscriber on your channel.
Glad I could help!
So I went to test a lot of headphones yesterday to pick the right one for me, and the 700's and 45's were at the same testing stand in the store. I listened to the same song on both of them, swapping back and forth as fast as possible, and imo the 700's are just worse than the 45's. The 45's had a really full and spacious sound, while the 700's sounded a bit hollow. 45's also had the better noise cancelling, though the difference wasn't big in that regard.
All in all, I'd personally recommend the 45's more than the 700's.
the soundstage is exactly why i got the qc45
Anyone else here after their Pixel preorder deal changed from free Bose 700s to QC45?

Good video as always, can you do a comparison between the new Sony XB 910n and the XB 900n please would like to hear your thoughts if it’s worth upgrading
I will but it'll be awhile. still busy with QC45
You’re my only and reliable ANC Headphones reviewer, thanks for your kind effort.
In your experience which headphones are better than xm4? what I can see xm4 in sound bass and ANC always is better
If you use your headphones with more than 2 devices like me, one feature of the QC45 (and previous QC models) that's NOT included in the NC 700 for some reason is the ability to cycle through which 2 bluetooth connections are active by a short toggle of the power switch, so you don't have to go through an app to connect to any previously connected device. To me this is a major feature that gives the QC line the edge over other ANC headphones as well as the 700s.
You can do that also on the nc700. Either hold the Bluetooth button or press pause one the first device and play on the second
@@redataoussi that’s not what he is talking about. The headphones can remember up to 8 devices but they connect to 2 at a time. I am constantly switching between 4 devices and need to easily cycle through. Needing an app to achieve this is a huge deal breaker…. Specially since there is no app for the pc as far as I can tell.
Hi! Many people claim that QC45 has an orrible white noise with ANC active. Is it true? Have you heard it? Thanks a lot!
Which one are a solid pair for plane engine and cabin noise cancellation while looking at a movie in flight?
What do you think about the new Sivga sv021's?
I have ear problems and like to work out at the gym and I want to listen to podcasts or on airplane flights. What do you think is the best headphones they blocks out the maximum amount of background noise? And will stick to my head while working out.
Can you compare the razer nommo pro to the the logitech g560?
Just tried the two at home for a while, and the QC45s now have an EQ setting. The sound on QC45 does sound better but the 700s are definitely nicer feeling. It felt like the 700s had better ANC and less sound bleed (if you use it too loud) but I’d still go with the QC45.
I am trying to decide which ones to buy and the eq setting update for the qc45 is a big plus. Almost 100% sure I want the QC45
@@TheStealthyLizard you can't go wrong with either! i'm wearing my qc45 right now and haven't had any regrets in the past 3 months since i've first commented :)
How is the noise cancelling for the QC45s?
@@moony995 I'd say they're a solid 7 or 8/10. I tried my friend's Sony XM5 overears and I think the Sony is 10/10. It's actually insane and I think if I had to purchase, I'd probably go Sony personally. Only reason I'm keeping the QC45 is I ended up getting a crazy deal for it.
Buying from scratch, I'd go with the Sonys
@@justintran1001 i have been thinking about getting the xm5s! but i heard that they can be inconsistent with the anc because they're always adjusting? I'm not sure, but thanks anyway for your advice:)
I'm guessing you can travel and charge them using 110v or 220v sources?
My Bose 700NC are absolutely phenomenal, but I'm looking to sell 2nd hand to purchase a new headphone set in the next 2 years. I'll be watching your videos until then, cheers
Nc700 is gorgeous and the adjustable eq is epic.
Does anyone know if the SBC Bluetooth is noticeably worse in sound quality than the audio jack when listening on say spotify premium? I just don't want to get a wireless headset for the freedom and find out the quality sounds much better with the jack.
As someone that has tried both, they do NOT sound the same. The soundstage is different because of the extra room in the 45s. The 700s have more clarity with better call performance too.
It’s odd that nobody is mentioning the soundstage. The QC45s have a huge soundstage for ANC headphones, they feel almost like open backed cans to me.
@@ChadGPTu @Michael Soussan did bose add the features in the app for the qc 45 or is it still the same ? Which one do you think is better
would you suggest going with the nc700 or qc 45 .. ?
@@Adhgnis Fewer features. I find the QC45 to have letter sound, the 700s feel squashed be comparison. Very subjective stuff of course. I like the sound of reference headphones like HD600, and the QC45s are closer to that than any ANC I have tried.
@@ChadGPTu what about comparing with xm4 .. would that be a better choice than qc 45 ?
@@Adhgnis Not sure about that one.
only reason why i don't like touchpads on headphones is when you use them in winter and the wind blows on them and activates them and makes it go crazy. i had a sony whxm4 and i ended up giving it to my brother just because of the touchpad craziness. awesome review as well thank you!
I can't speak on the touch pad behavior in the cold because I don't have to commute to work anymore. But I'd imagine thats annoying walking through the NYC winter to work at 8am. trust me. I know lol
You can stop touchpad from the app
First really good NC and mic tests I've seen so far, Thanks!
I still have my Bose QC35s and I like them alot.
Just got my QC45s..... silky smooth comfort, great sound, and Bose will update for EQ at some point !! Gorgeous :))
Is it possible to disable NC?
@@markau9582yea aware mode
@@IOSHackzandSTUFFis it the same as the ,, off ‘’ mode on qc 35 ii ?
@@pet1err totally forgot this was my name lol gotta change this, made it years ago…. But I’m not too sure I don’t have the 35 do have the 45 but I’m guessing it should be similar ? I wish there was more customization for it but nc is great can’t hear anything , super super comfy and the aware mode is fine can hear around when you need it, I tend to keep more in aware then not so
I own Sony WH-1000XM4, and I would only recommend these if you don't care much about money or the environment.
The noise cancelling is prone to breaking. This may be noticed by hissing, popping, or full volume deafening tone like if you put a microphone in front of a speaker.
This was a known issue with the XM3 as well and they didn't bother fixing it. So I'm definitely avoiding Sony headphones now and I recommend anyone else to do the same.
One thing to mention, I wouldn't recommend it if I just got unlucky with my headphones. But there are loads of reports out there of this issue. It doesn't happen to everyone, but it is a common problem
Please cover duolink speakerbuds and nuraphones.
Another great review! Depending on implementation AAC can sound great. I like the design of the nc700.
Makes you wonder why both of these models exist. Sony releases a lot of different options but they are all different level and the WH 1000xm4 is undoubtedly Sony’s top headphones . Those two models are both considered premium ANC headphones.
@misterlebanon I'm in the market now and suspect the nc700 were not selling as well as Bose hoped given the price and lack of compactness. The qc45 are more the incremental upgrade super satisfied customers might buy?
very good review
This review was so helpful!!
I am surprised that QC35ii have better microphone than the other 2. The static you mention is also very prominent with 35iis
thanks for the review, I have the Bose QC45 and plan on returning them , I find that the Volume on these is very limited, sometimes I wanna hear a song on the louder side and I find these just can't get up there and are limited, which headphones would you rec. for quality audiophile sound , has a wide range of volume and an EQ ?
Honestly I'd say keep them and get a Bluetooth amp, I'd recommend fioo, then you can play louder
@@thomasmapplebeck5237 then you will end up with tinnitus like me
Great freaking revieww!!! Im waiting for 800 then 😂guess upgrde is soon
Thanks. I picked up the QC-45 yesterday, May 15, 2022. I strted them up and they had 70% battery life and connected to my phone instantaneously. I downloaded the Bose App and it started to update the headphones...or tha app, not sure which. Anyway, after the update, Boom, EQ feature was there. I'm happy even though I do see what you mean by the cabin pressure. Weird. Beats didn't seem to have that. Anyway, I'm happy. I'm sure that more firmware updates will happen in due time.
What does this cabin pressure feel like? Looking to buy either QC-45 or 700. Are the QC-45 comfortable to sleep with?
I don't know why everyone calls it cabin pressure. It's what -dB sounds like. The Bose noise cancelling is so 'good' that it behaves like an anechoic chamber. It's not really good from a user satisfaction point of view, but it neutralizes itself when there is outside sound bleeding in after ANC has tried to cancel out the sound. Bose is by far the best in ANC and always has been.
Very great!
Hey what was that song you were playing at 15:20

I have the QC 35 Mki am I missing anything?
how do theu=y perform in cold conditions?
The mic on the QC45 quite honestly sounds terrible. Is there any possibility that this could/would be fixed with a firmware update? That's one of the deciding factor for me between the two (and over Sony's XM4)
I’d like to know the answer to this question as well!
I use Poweramp EQ for my Bose QC45's and the bass is very good. Not as much as the Sony's, but, comparable
What app you use ? Android or ios ?
@@XXSAD11XX Android only
The qc 35 leather both on the headband and on the earcups have been replaced twice after a year of use they start to tear down I have now bought a better more breathable material for the cups from a third party company
Do either of these headphones have a mic mute button? I really like my other Bose ANC headphones, but I hate running back to my office every time I need to mute myself while on a Teams call. Would be great to mute my mic on the headphones and grind some beans while still listening to the call. :)
Yes. Both have mute buttons.
Best Headphones Review Channel The decision to buy sony wh-1000xm3 was made with your reviews and comparisons
Tested the Bose QC45 against the Sony WH-1000 XM4 and gotta say that the QC45 definitely have a more "head-rattling" bass.
NOW I FOUND THIS VIDEO WITHOUT YOU WEARING A CAP...HAHA NOW I SEE YOUR REAL LOOK...ALWAYS A GOOD REVIEW
Do both work with the 3.5 cable without battery?
Great comparison!!!
yes
It’s worth mentioning though that whilst using the 3.5mm cable with the headphones turned off does work, it makes them sound terrible
Great review gm, you really love taking pot shots at apple for that aux cord haha
I do, because its a stupid decision on their part. plus that charge you like $20 for their audio cable

My main use is for cell phone calls. What would your recommendation be bearing that in mind?
AirPods Max have the best mic on them. but I don't like them. too expensive, too heavy. stick with bose then. Sony's mics still sound bad.
Thank you!!! 700 or Q45?
@@somedayzo6 QC 35 ii has the best mic quality - the 700 has a weird underwater type of resonance
I agree on qc35. I had xm3, xm4, px7 and airpods max. Qc35 most comfortable with great mics for the phone calls.
Consider buying the BOSE QC45 headphones guys! If you're looking for headphones and have a budget (cause it's a bit expensive, but hopefully you can get a discount or stumble upon a sale!😁)
I've read a lot reviews about these headphones! Comfortness! Really, it's super comfortable, not even exaggerating anymore. I've been told that someone wore these headphone for more than 5 hours and slept with it also without even noticing that they're wearing it! HAHAH
So don't hesitate to buy the Bose QC45 if you have the money✨ It will be worth it for people who are LOOKING FOR HEADPHONES AND PRIORITIZING THE COMFORTNESS OR COMFORTABILITY ✨🙌
How come on this video you say that if you want more bass you should choose either the Sony xm4 or sennheiser pxc 550 ii when I just looked at your review kn the senhieiser an you said they have a more natural sound ?
because I figured out how to raise the bass on the PXC 500 2 through their EQ
so forty five has less clamping pressure than thirty five second generation? i feel that thirty five put too much earcup cushion pressure on my skull bone around my ears that i have to take them off after a short while...
the only bad thing about QC is the material of earcups and headband....you'll have to replace them over 1 year of use, i'd stick to the 700.
I got the 700s for 100$ cuz my mom brother gave it to her for free an she not really into head phones so i got a deal but i only got the 🎧 an case no cabel or jack
But my steam deck charger works an I was wondering if i should trade it in for the qc45
I just got my QC45 a couple days ago, its my first pair of anc headphone, but I can't tolerate the cabin pressure, I can't use them for more then 1 hour...Do you have any recommendation for alternative without this issue? It's suck because the comfort of the QC45 is amazing
Did the cabin pressure get better after a while?
@Moony no I did return them, after a while I got the Sony xm4 and was not having the same issue
@@KevinGoldLVL ohh ok- that sucks but glad the sonys work better for you, also is the anc good compared to the qc45s?
@@moony995 @Moony Both are amazing for noise canceling, I just had the cabin pressure issue on the Bose, but I did some research, and most people won't have any problems using any headphones.

@@KevinGoldLVL oh thanks for the info :) and no i dont have the QC45s so i wouldn't know, I'm thinking abt buying them but can't decide between the Sony xm5, the xm4, qc35/35ii andd the bose nc700.. too many choices lmao
will you compare the QC45 with the Bose QC earbuds
Uuhhhh no….
Can u do a review on the jbl tour one
in the future when im not so busy. right now the QC45's, XB910N's and Flip 6 take priority.
Can you fold the 700 and put it into cargo pants side pockets like you can with the 45?
No, they just rotate flat.
Coming from a qc25 to a qc35 I to a NC700 and using them for many many years, i think that the qc45 comes to late! If you are looking to buy one, either invest in the nc700 that has a better surround, on buy directly a qc35 II that are way cheaper now!
The improvement between the qc35 (I and II) and the qc45 are not worth the price!
Bose should really focus on upgrading the cushion quality tho! The glued edges and the pealing leatherette are a pain in the ass for power users and I find my self changing them every 2 to 3 years, may sounds like nothing but 35$ isn’t nothing!
And yes I’m using them all for different purpose and A LOT!
Okay, so QC45 is more comfortable, but when you take into account ANC, the NC700's are better since they have less cabin pressure? Lmk please as I'm trying to decide between the two. My use case will be wearing these headphones for like 3-4 hrs at a time with anc on
What did you end up going with? I just bought the 700.
@@sheptube99 So I bought the 35s, 45s, and the 700s. The 700s wouldn't even stay on my head so I didn't bother even turning them on. Between the 45s and the 35s, the 45s are more comfortable and have slightly better anc. Didn't notice much of a difference in cabin pressure. However, I ended up going with the 35s because they were wayyyy cheaper and only marginally behind the 45s. Hope that helps!
You must not have tested using the headphones while wired in with the audio jack. My biggest complaint with the advertisement of the audio cable is that the marketing does not tell you that the audio cable is only good for listening to audio. In other words, and you missed this in your review, the audio cable does NOT support the microphone. The audio cable provided with these headphones use TRS audio jacks. I even tried an after market TRRS cable to see if that would make a difference. The problem, at least with the NC 700 model (I haven't tested with the QC45's) is that the microphone isn't wired into the audio jack at all. It's all digital. The microphone can only be used wirelessly. This was a huge disappointment for me when I purchased my NC 700's.
