I was drunk, and I walked into a shop to buy some headphones. I wasn't intending to spend to much money. 350 pounds later, I'm standing outside the shop with a bag in my hand, thinking, what have I just done. Three months later, and I have to admit they where worth every penny, I use them all the time. My Brother bought me a year's subscription to Spotify. Serendipity
I have both the Sony WH-1000XM4's and the Bose NC700's. They're both amazing. If you get Sony's, learn how to reset them. I had a high pitched squeal in the left ear after about 10 months of use, but resetting them fixed it. The Sony's have more options, but the bose have better noise cancellation. I like the metal band on the bose vs the plastic on the Sony's. I also think the bose are more comfortable, but i wear glasses and the Sony's have more pressure where my glasses frames go around my ears.
I have the high pitched squeal on the xm4 headphones too but resetting it didn't work. It's now at the Sony repair centre and they're charging me a bomb to repair them since they're out of warranty.
Would you recommend the Bose 700 over the Sony XM4s because of your situation? Also, if one is in the market for headphones that feature good noise cancellation and good microphone/call quality, which would you recommend, then Sony XM4s or the Bose 700?
@@jackzhu462 I don't talk on the phone very often, so for what I do, I prefer the bose 700. However I'd choose the Sony xm4's if I used them for phone calls often.
I predict your views for this video will grow fast in the coming weeks. Google are offering these for free with all new Pixel 6 pre orders. This is why I'm here. Although I will sell mine as brand new as I'm happy with my Bose Quiet Comfort and Air Pods for day to day usage. Thanks for the review 👍🏻
Nice to know that Bose have added the ability to change EQ as MKBHD says in his review there isn't an option to change that and I was getting worried. Still will likely sell and get a Sony pair as prefer them overall.
Bruh he said reach 1000 and I said CAP how old is this video he’s gotta be near a million by now. I’m so confused how this quality of video doesn’t have a larger following. You definitely deserve it man 👍🏼
Two words: Call mics. The NC 700's mics isolate your voice in noisy environments so much better than the competition that there is no comparison. That's why they are the best for calls next to noisy things like old air conditioners. I agree with most others that Sony's XM5 (and earlier models) have nicer sound, but I can't use them as daily drivers in the noisy environment I work in.
I have it for a year now. For traveling it is perfect. The Noise cancelling is effective. The problem is, these headphones have no different earpad replacement option at all. I ve searched for months now. Bose used an earpad adabter which deleted the option of using different materials since they dont offer any. Im willing to sacrife the noise cancelling for more comfort. I generally dislike any earphone wired or wireless that has fake or real leather. This material makes you sweat and it is very uncomfortable after long hours of usage. On top of that the original earpad replacements on their website are totaly overprices going for close to 40 euros ?
my brother’s getting me these for my birthday and i’m so excited!! the noice cancelling settings seem very cool as someone who can get… really distracted.
I bought these recently. One thing I don’t like is that you cannot used them wirelessly when they are being charged. Once plugged in with the usb-c, they automatically disconnect from any bluetooth device. Not sure if they work with the 3.5mm connection. Otherwise, I agree with everything in this video.
Watched another video of yours, and then this, and the quality of the production and your style of presentation has earned you a subscription. congrats!
I loved my pair of Sony xm4s ......until they starting screeching in my ears. The xm4s have an issue where sweat or humidity can damage them. Just switched to the Bose and couldn't be happier.
I watch this video.... 1) The presentation was excellent (thank you) and I see that the idea is you are trying and doing a decent job as non bias. 2) The subject was in layman's terms. 3) I have the Sony WH-1000XM4 head phones and love them and I know the good, the bad and the ugly. Yet for the sony there is little ugly. I like the bass of the head phones however I have Audeze head phones with a head phone DAC / amp. Of course the sony cannot be compared to wired head phones that are truly audiophile quality. That said they do very well. I will receive the Bose 700 soon to compare. The Bose are from 2019 but the price I am getting in Thailand for the original Bose head phones is so low it is nuts. I will know in a few days if I am shipped original, refurbished or fake head phones. Thank you.
The headphones were okay but the couple of issues I had were I would accidentally put my hand on the ear cup that controls the volume and changing songs and and they keep turning themselves off it was getting annoying that’s why I switch back to my QC 35 II Because they have physical buttons but don’t get me wrong the headphones were great they just went for me but I’m very excited for the Bose QC 45’s
I have only the Bose 700, and I also do NOT like the touch controls. Any time I am adjusting the headband fit (i.e. sliding the earcups up or down the band) for comfort, I end up activating something on the touch controls. I greatly prefer physical buttons.

Hi guys! I just bought the bose 700 for one week now, and they are marvellous, no pain after 8h of wearing them, MIC IS PERFECT FOR CALLS! I mean this is the best investment I made, they are better than airpods pro excluding the fact that they are huge and are on-ears, and not in-ears
Well .. got it on Saturday and used it all evening. Fits perfectly on my somewhat larger ears ( Was afraid of the cups being to small ). They fixed the app too ! No detection or connection issues so far. Did a couple of test calls with friends. When using the ANC my voice was dampened a bit but still fine. With ANC off the mic works good. Maybe not as crisp as for instance a Jabra or Plantronics headset but then there is no foldable mic ( Wanted a headset without foldable mic ). Taking this puppy to work tomorrow so it will be field tested then. Very comfortable to wear since the radius is larger then the Jabra Evolve2 65 I had before (These are over ear did not like it and did not fit my head resulting in the over ear cups not covering my ears and too tight on my head ). Adjusting the size is smooth and easy on this one. Love the gestures for Volume and skipping tracks. Work perfect with Siri too. Overall very pleased. Don't mind the mic not working when charging. 20 hours battery life is more then enough for my day. Will comment again tomorrow to let you guys know how the mic function in the 'field' .
These have been my only headphones for over a year now. I'm very happy with them. I can wear them for hours at a time on my big dumb head/ears. Two things that have bothered me, but wouldn't dissuade me from buying again: 1. The mobile app doesn't have a way to set device priority. I have lots of devices that I pair my headphones with. I'd love to be able to set priorities so that I don't have to manually pop open the app and change the devices I'm connected to. 2. After more than a year, I had to purchase replacement ear pads. The right gauze cover is ripped out and the pads are flaking/peeling. After wearing them for awhile, I'll often come away with black particles as more of the pad deteriorates. That said, I'm willing to give bose a pass on this because replacements are reasonably priced and I use these A LOT.
I had both at some point first the sony's and they sound better and are a little bit more comfortable, buuuuut the bose's are better for long periods of time they have a type of sound that's not too hard to the ears, and noise cancelation is on pair with the sony's but doesn't as hard. Basically sony's better for short periods of time and bose better for long use. Now i just use the 700 most due to how amazing they are while watching movies they are just better in this regard.
Question do these headphones link with all bose home products at the same time ..eg sound bar and sub running at the same time on the app ....group all speakers at one time?
An unfortunate surprise I got when I bought them, and something not a lot of people seem to mention, is that they work very badly on your PC... sometimes people can't hear my voice on Teams or the notification on my phone pause my music on the pc, you have to switch manually between stereo and mic mode, because mic mode is mono and sounds pretty bad, Also none of the buttons on the headset except the volume and the bluetooth one work on pc (No assistant, no mute, no taking/leaving calls, no noise cancelation settings...). The connection from the laptop is lost constantly too. I realize there is a bose usb dongle you can get for this headset, but it is not available in Spain :') So I had to import it from the US paying 30$ shipping and I'm still waiting on it... let's see if these problems are solved with it (My hopes are way up)
Very good review, super sleek, straight to the point. I am surprised you have so few subs and views. I hope you will get more soon. I also came here because Bose 700 are on sale during Amazon Prime Day. I have been using QC35ii for many years now. Love them and wear many hours every day. However, I experienced quality control issues with Bose before. I bought a replacement QC35ii because the battery in mine degraded and needed replacement. My new QC35 immediately had two issues: worse sound quality (I'd call it "dull") and poor Bluetooth: they skipped when the phone was in my jeans pocket, which my old QC35 never did. So, what I did then was I swapped the batteries between the new and the old headphones. This is not a beginner DIY project because the batter is soldered and glued, so it is quite possible to break the headphones while doing batter replacement. Bose does not offer battery replacement. You must throw away your headphones if the battery dies, which is very sad because the batter tends to degrade in maybe a year or two. Anyways, I returned the new QC35 with the old battery, and my old faithful QC35 have been a few more years with me without any issues.
I use Airpod Pro 2s, and just put them back in the case any time i take a break, bathroom etc. This way, i never get the battery drained. Has quick 10 minute charge, that lasts for 1 hour.
My one year later review would be: DO NOT BUY the gray version... the "metal band" on mine changed colour to brown... not evenly... it is totally brown in some spots and barely tinted in others... overall it looks like if I would keep them inside of a toilet definitely not something to expect of a headphones that expensive.
there was a fault in first few batches of the silver one. You can claim for a product replacement if you got one from that production batch. Not all the silver ones turn to bronze like that.
The only complaint I have about them is it seems like they lose Bluetooth connection some because whenever I’m listening to music they keep making a ticking noise so I just mainly use the cord because the ticking noise gets annoying.
Have you had any problems with the glide of the band over the back of the cups on the Bose 700s? One side of mine glides easily, but the other has always been super sticky. I can't seem to figure out if/how to make this better. I don't want to apply any sort of lubricant if it will damage the material. I did, of course, make sure there was no physical debris in the way like dust or dirt.
Great review! If one is in the market for headphones that have good noise cancellation and good microphone/call quality, would you recommend that they buy the Sony XM4s or the Bose 700?
I am considering buying one of these two headphones. I heard that the mic voice quality of the XM4 is not very good. So soundwise I think the Sony XM4 is the better choice, however when it comes to calling, the 700 is the much better choice.
Are your 700’s still holding up well in Microsoft Teams meetings etc? Do I need to get the 700 UC’s with the USB Bluetooth adapter for better quality? Nice video man 👍🏻
Hello. I have Bose QC35 ii and the mic doesn't work when using on cable. And when you are using via Bluetooth sound becomes mono when you have mic on. Do you know if same happens with Bose 700?
Apologies for the late post, but have you had any issues with multi-point pairing? If you have it paired to your pc/laptop and your phone, does the bose 700 switch seamlessly between the two, or is it a dance of swapping sources, turning off bluetooth, etc.? Thanks!
omg this is the best bose 700 review ever! i say that cause I just ordered a pair. but I too use airpod pros for media production, with M1 minis. Just pure frustration. F that. So I am praying the 700s fix all my woes. Ps. Question: I have a blue mic for streaming / podcasting. How do I work in the 700 to the workflow? Plug it in wired underneath the yak mike? Wireless connect it? Could I use the voice from just the 700s mike, or is the quality just awful for podcasting? thx!!!
Could you please confirm how is the bass after adjusting the settings in the EQ, specially after the update and also the preset of bass booster? Cz I do video editing, by the time it’s worth the flat sound profile, but when I’m listening to music I like the thumbing bass, please advice.
I just watched it now and heard at the end that you asked to subscribe to reach 1k subs. You must have made something right with your channel: I see you that are now, two years later, surpass 150k. I wish you will get to 200k, 500k,...
I have these and they sound great when they work. Sadly, I am about to be on my 3rd pair. The first one started to drop Bluetooth connection randomly. Then it started to do a loud buzz then drop connection and go into a boot loop. I sent them back and they sent me a new pair that did the same thing within a month. I just sent them back and am awaiting the 3rd pair. Hopefully these work. If these do not last, it will probably be the last product I buy from them. I have owned a lot of their products and the quality seems to really be sliding.
I have the same problem, now at my second pair and the problem is still there. Constantly the Bluetooth connection drops and I can't connect with the app. I don't really think a third pair will fix that?
@@SPIROUUU My 3rd pair died faster then the second. I will need to start looking around for another go-to brand as Bose has lost my trust over the years.
If you're in the business of wireless ANC in the future if your Bose unfortunately breaks, I would likely steer in the direction of Beyerdynamic Lagoon ANCs or something like the Sennie HD 450BT.. Should at the very least last a bit longer.
How do you not have more subscribers! I’m glad I found your channel. Videos are crisp editing is on point and content is good! I’m hitting like and subscribe for sure. Listen to this on my Bose 700 by the way lol 😂
Don’t want to mess up the hair but wear a cap 😅 Great long term use review by the way. I always like Bose more than the Sonys yet I ended up with the Jabra 😅
Hi - My office laptop is blue tooth disabled and wanted to use the NC700 in a wireless mode. Can i purchase the usb link bluetooth module and straight away connect via the module. Can you guys make a video on this. Can you also let me know how do i do the same with xm4?
Question: This November/2021 I bought my pair at COSTCO when I saw they had a 'charging carrying case'. However, I find no info on that particular aspect (charging headphones while they're inside of the case) on the BOSE web site, UA-cam or anywhere else, for that matter. The case looks just like yours, but it also has an area on the OUTSIDE OF THE CASE where you can plug in the cord you'd normally be attaching directly on to the headphones, when charging. (There are also 4 tiny white lights next to it) I can only assume the headphones get charged while inside the case, but via Bluetooth🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️.....don't laugh, cause I'm just guessing at this point. I tried charging them last night in that manner but received an audio msg saying 'recharge now'....so apparently they had not gotten charged. WTF. So, I ended up charging them the usual way, via a plugged in cord. Anybody familiar with what I am referring to ?
I found someone confirming on Reddit that the charging case does not do wireless charging of the headphones - it is essentially just a battery pack, and once you've charged the battery inside the case, you can then plug the headphones in to the case battery to recharge them.
Was this video made while the Bose Music app was out? I ask because the equalizer in the app allows you to tune bass, mid, treble and is a nice feature. I’ve been using AirPods Pro for a long but synced my wife’s 700s because of a trip I have oversees coming up and opted to take her 700s with the 2.5 to 3.5 cable so I can use for the TVs on the plane.
how is the bass compared to the airpods? Does anyone have any experience and can tell me if the bose sound equally as good as the airpods since I'm a huge fan of their sound quality?
Yours look new. Mine are nearly two years old and the foam inside has busted the seams. Their build quality can't take the heat inside a car without all the glue failing.
Please read before buying nc 700. The bluetooth multi point on this is absolutely broken. If you plan to use it with only one device..go ahead..but if you want it to connect to 2 and auto switch, do NOT get this. I have had so much..i mean feel like throwing them at the floor.. that much level of frustration with these getting disconnected from my phone in the middle of a call.. and failing to reconnect. If you don't believe me..look it up in the bose forums and the r/bose subreddit. The bluetooth firmware on these are utter crap.. and they refuse to fix it.
The Bose 700 is still a great choice, but Bose has also announced the new QC45's, which I've pre-ordered and will be dropping the review in mid-October! Don't have much experience with the Airpods Max, but I don't think you can go wrong with that one as well. I've seen/heard great things about it.
As someone considering getting these, does anyone know how these are just casually playing games wirelessly? Doesn't have to be perfect just if it's acceptable then that'll probably seal it for me. :)
neither the mx4 nor the nc700 sound good at all for that money. They do pack some features, but I'd say they sound more like 150 dollar headphones at best with all that bass. Just look at the frequency response graphs. Even after corrective EQ the general sound quality does not match the price you pay for these.
thanks mate. I've just ordered, and was concerned about the use for editing. I do like airpods pro, but the only issue is after few hours I feel pain, hope this will work. (also have a big head :D) thanks again for sharing your review
Been using the qc lineup for quite some time now since the qc25 to the qc35 then the nc700! I tried the sonys but to brassy for an audiophile! The only complain I have it the quality of the cushions! They feel amazing for a while and then starts to peel and the glued seems open as they are not stitch! But I get that it’s a common problem on all headphones due to sweat and over use! But hey for a 300+ headphone at least offer cushion for a fair price, 35$ for the pair is a bit to much imo! Avoid third party cushions, you may loose a lot a ANC
nice voice, nice background music(a little bit loud), nice face, just come by to leave a comment to support asian youtuber ❤️ yesterday I saw a news on cnet revealing some pictures of qc45 so Bose is about to put QC45 into mass production......

An unfortunate surprise I got when I bought them, and something not a lot of people seem to mention, is that they work very badly on your PC... sometimes people can't hear my voice on Teams or the notification on my phone pause my music on the pc, you have to switch manually between stereo and mic mode, because mic mode is mono and sounds pretty bad, Also none of the buttons on the headset except the volume and the bluetooth one work on pc (No assistant, no mute, no taking/leaving calls, no noise cancelation settings...). The connection from the laptop is lost constantly too.
I realize there is a bose usb dongle you can get for this headset, but it is not available in Spain :')
So I had to import it from the US paying 30$ shipping and I'm still waiting on it... let's see if these problems are solved with it (My hopes are way up)
Very good review, super sleek, straight to the point. I am surprised you have so few subs and views. I hope you will get more soon.
I also came here because Bose 700 are on sale during Amazon Prime Day. I have been using QC35ii for many years now. Love them and wear many hours every day. However, I experienced quality control issues with Bose before. I bought a replacement QC35ii because the battery in mine degraded and needed replacement. My new QC35 immediately had two issues: worse sound quality (I'd call it "dull") and poor Bluetooth: they skipped when the phone was in my jeans pocket, which my old QC35 never did.
So, what I did then was I swapped the batteries between the new and the old headphones. This is not a beginner DIY project because the batter is soldered and glued, so it is quite possible to break the headphones while doing batter replacement. Bose does not offer battery replacement. You must throw away your headphones if the battery dies, which is very sad because the batter tends to degrade in maybe a year or two. Anyways, I returned the new QC35 with the old battery, and my old faithful QC35 have been a few more years with me without any issues.
Why would you tell people how scandalous you are by returning to headphones with the old battery? bad karma
I use Airpod Pro 2s, and just put them back in the case any time i take a break, bathroom etc. This way, i never get the battery drained.
Has quick 10 minute charge, that lasts for 1 hour.
My one year later review would be: DO NOT BUY the gray version... the "metal band" on mine changed colour to brown... not evenly... it is totally brown in some spots and barely tinted in others... overall it looks like if I would keep them inside of a toilet definitely not something to expect of a headphones that expensive.
there was a fault in first few batches of the silver one. You can claim for a product replacement if you got one from that production batch. Not all the silver ones turn to bronze like that.
Hey, may I know how you clean/get rid of marks on the silicone part? Mine doesn’t seem to go away and I’m not even sure where the marks came from 😅
Hmmmmmm.... I'm thinking about getting these headphones this week. I'm still undecided.
The only complaint I have about them is it seems like they lose Bluetooth connection some because whenever I’m listening to music they keep making a ticking noise so I just mainly use the cord because the ticking noise gets annoying.
Interesting. I’ve had mine for over 2 years and use them almost daily. Never had this issue. I don’t use cable. Perhaps it is a defect. Warranty?
Have you had any problems with the glide of the band over the back of the cups on the Bose 700s? One side of mine glides easily, but the other has always been super sticky. I can't seem to figure out if/how to make this better. I don't want to apply any sort of lubricant if it will damage the material. I did, of course, make sure there was no physical debris in the way like dust or dirt.
Great review! If one is in the market for headphones that have good noise cancellation and good microphone/call quality, would you recommend that they buy the Sony XM4s or the Bose 700?
I am considering buying one of these two headphones. I heard that the mic voice quality of the XM4 is not very good. So soundwise I think the Sony XM4 is the better choice, however when it comes to calling, the 700 is the much better choice.
The band of mine is breaking, is it something am doing wrong?
Are your 700’s still holding up well in Microsoft Teams meetings etc? Do I need to get the 700 UC’s with the USB Bluetooth adapter for better quality? Nice video man 👍🏻
Hello. I have Bose QC35 ii and the mic doesn't work when using on cable.
And when you are using via Bluetooth sound becomes mono when you have mic on.
Do you know if same happens with Bose 700?
Apologies for the late post, but have you had any issues with multi-point pairing? If you have it paired to your pc/laptop and your phone, does the bose 700 switch seamlessly between the two, or is it a dance of swapping sources, turning off bluetooth, etc.?
Thanks!
it's been a living hell. maybe i'm dumb. but - it shouldn't be this hard!
Switching between the 2 active sources has been seamless for me
omg this is the best bose 700 review ever! i say that cause I just ordered a pair. but I too use airpod pros for media production, with M1 minis. Just pure frustration. F that. So I am praying the 700s fix all my woes. Ps. Question: I have a blue mic for streaming / podcasting. How do I work in the 700 to the workflow? Plug it in wired underneath the yak mike? Wireless connect it? Could I use the voice from just the 700s mike, or is the quality just awful for podcasting? thx!!!
Could you please confirm how is the bass after adjusting the settings in the EQ, specially after the update and also the preset of bass booster?
Cz I do video editing, by the time it’s worth the flat sound profile, but when I’m listening to music I like the thumbing bass, please advice.
Wow my man you just earned your self a subscriber
I just watched it now and heard at the end that you asked to subscribe to reach 1k subs.
You must have made something right with your channel: I see you that are now, two years later, surpass 150k. I wish you will get to 200k, 500k,...
I have these and they sound great when they work. Sadly, I am about to be on my 3rd pair. The first one started to drop Bluetooth connection randomly. Then it started to do a loud buzz then drop connection and go into a boot loop. I sent them back and they sent me a new pair that did the same thing within a month. I just sent them back and am awaiting the 3rd pair. Hopefully these work. If these do not last, it will probably be the last product I buy from them. I have owned a lot of their products and the quality seems to really be sliding.
I have the same problem, now at my second pair and the problem is still there. Constantly the Bluetooth connection drops and I can't connect with the app. I don't really think a third pair will fix that?
@@SPIROUUU My 3rd pair died faster then the second. I will need to start looking around for another go-to brand as Bose has lost my trust over the years.
If you're in the business of wireless ANC in the future if your Bose unfortunately breaks, I would likely steer in the direction of Beyerdynamic Lagoon ANCs or something like the Sennie HD 450BT.. Should at the very least last a bit longer.
How do you not have more subscribers! I’m glad I found your channel. Videos are crisp editing is on point and content is good! I’m hitting like and subscribe for sure. Listen to this on my Bose 700 by the way lol 😂
Don’t want to mess up the hair but wear a cap 😅 Great long term use review by the way. I always like Bose more than the Sonys yet I ended up with the Jabra 😅
I’m looking into upgrading my headphones I’m in a stalemate between Sony wh-1000xm4 Bose qc45 or Bose nc700
Hi - My office laptop is blue tooth disabled and wanted to use the NC700 in a wireless mode. Can i purchase the usb link bluetooth module and straight away connect via the module. Can you guys make a video on this. Can you also let me know how do i do the same with xm4?
Thanks for this. Just bought these, excited to try them. Are your headphones still working well?
Yep, still looks brand new. Use em every day!
Hey, very nice video, just wanted to know if they mess up your hair really bad or not, because it's a big deal for me
Does it make sense that only volume up and down cup works and not skip or pause motion
Please do a comparison of 1000xm4 and bose 700
@Josua Chang would you recommend this for working out?
Question: This November/2021 I bought my pair at COSTCO when I saw they had a 'charging carrying case'. However, I find no info on that particular aspect (charging headphones while they're inside of the case) on the BOSE web site, UA-cam or anywhere else, for that matter. The case looks just like yours, but it also has an area on the OUTSIDE OF THE CASE where you can plug in the cord you'd normally be attaching directly on to the headphones, when charging. (There are also 4 tiny white lights next to it) I can only assume the headphones get charged while inside the case, but via Bluetooth🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️.....don't laugh, cause I'm just guessing at this point. I tried charging them last night in that manner but received an audio msg saying 'recharge now'....so apparently they had not gotten charged. WTF. So, I ended up charging them the usual way, via a plugged in cord. Anybody familiar with what I am referring to ?
I found someone confirming on Reddit that the charging case does not do wireless charging of the headphones - it is essentially just a battery pack, and once you've charged the battery inside the case, you can then plug the headphones in to the case battery to recharge them.
Anybody get the silver version and observe color chipping from the band? Any recommendations to offer ?
Such quality content!
What about wear on them? Some people claim that the earcups don't slide as nice after some time
Was this video made while the Bose Music app was out? I ask because the equalizer in the app allows you to tune bass, mid, treble and is a nice feature. I’ve been using AirPods Pro for a long but synced my wife’s 700s because of a trip I have oversees coming up and opted to take her 700s with the 2.5 to 3.5 cable so I can use for the TVs on the plane.
Hey just wanted to ask if u can view the eq settings in the Bose music app, cuz I haven’t been able😅
Hi. Can you link the music titles you used in this video?
Nice job on the video. I agree 100%!
Thank you for the review :D
thank you for the comment :)
They're a bit too quiet with a wired connection sometimes, and I think the touch controls are a bit annoying sometimes.
Otherwise, great stuff
Just got mine and feeling it
Did you use these headphones for working out?
how is the bass compared to the airpods? Does anyone have any experience and can tell me if the bose sound equally as good as the airpods since I'm a huge fan of their sound quality?
it’s on a new level compared to the bass on airpods lol
Do you like the Apple Headphones? Idk if they worth the Money..
I had an older version years ago, and they were really high quality as described. So I presume these will be great too...
Btw my first video of watching your reviews new sub I may get the nc700 thanks to your review I’ll be upgrading from jbl 600btnc and Bose qc25
Yours look new. Mine are nearly two years old and the foam inside has busted the seams. Their build quality can't take the heat inside a car without all the glue failing.
Please read before buying nc 700. The bluetooth multi point on this is absolutely broken. If you plan to use it with only one device..go ahead..but if you want it to connect to 2 and auto switch, do NOT get this. I have had so much..i mean feel like throwing them at the floor.. that much level of frustration with these getting disconnected from my phone in the middle of a call.. and failing to reconnect. If you don't believe me..look it up in the bose forums and the r/bose subreddit. The bluetooth firmware on these are utter crap.. and they refuse to fix it.
Can you recommend this Bose 700 now? After 2 years launched?
I’m skeptical between this and AirPods Max.
The Bose 700 is still a great choice, but Bose has also announced the new QC45's, which I've pre-ordered and will be dropping the review in mid-October! Don't have much experience with the Airpods Max, but I don't think you can go wrong with that one as well. I've seen/heard great things about it.
@@JoshuaChang thank you, if you will choose, would you go with “Blue” triple midnight color? Or eclipse limited edition?
Nice review Joshua.
Do you use them on a macbook or windows machine?
Perfect review, Thanks
How do these last you a week as a video editor? 😅I barely get 2 days usage out of mine and they are brand new! 😂
Quick question. Do they leak much noise for the people around you?
No, they don't
As someone considering getting these, does anyone know how these are just casually playing games wirelessly? Doesn't have to be perfect just if it's acceptable then that'll probably seal it for me. :)
Its honestly mad good. The main issue is that TVs with bluetooth have delay which is honestly annoying so if you dont mind that, then youre good
Nice video. From the begginig you made me suscribe.
neither the mx4 nor the nc700 sound good at all for that money. They do pack some features, but I'd say they sound more like 150 dollar headphones at best with all that bass. Just look at the frequency response graphs. Even after corrective EQ the general sound quality does not match the price you pay for these.
The microphone may be better but they are no way as comfortable as QC35ii
The QC 35ii is just too damn comfy.
thanks mate. I've just ordered, and was concerned about the use for editing.
I do like airpods pro, but the only issue is after few hours I feel pain, hope this will work. (also have a big head :D) thanks again for sharing your review
Have you or anyone else worn these when working out
Been using the qc lineup for quite some time now since the qc25 to the qc35 then the nc700!
I tried the sonys but to brassy for an audiophile!
The only complain I have it the quality of the cushions! They feel amazing for a while and then starts to peel and the glued seems open as they are not stitch! But I get that it’s a common problem on all headphones due to sweat and over use!
But hey for a 300+ headphone at least offer cushion for a fair price, 35$ for the pair is a bit to much imo! Avoid third party cushions, you may loose a lot a ANC
Interesting! Have you experienced the peeling with the NC700's?
Your suppose wipe the cushions with Damp microfiber cloth at end each use to wipe the sweat and oils which will deteriorate the phone. Bose states
How about audio from video streaming?
No problems with that at all!
Hi Joshua! 🌈
Es mejor que el sony 1000xm5?
Can u use these for the gym
No
nice voice, nice background music(a little bit loud), nice face, just come by to leave a comment to support asian youtuber ❤️ yesterday I saw a news on cnet revealing some pictures of qc45 so Bose is about to put QC45 into mass production......
Don’t you have cracking noise when connected to two apple devices? The headphones are great except for this. This is terribly annoying.
