Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700 Over-Ear Bluetooth Headphones, Silver

These are some of the best headphones I’ve ever had. But, they have issues, too. First, the Alexa is very sensitive. When someone around is trying to use another Alexa device, the Alexa in the headphones tries to respond, too. The noise canceling is great. There are ten settings for varied amounts of noise cancellation. This allows you to choose how much of the background noise you cancel out in situations where you may need to hear some of it. On mobile devices, you have to use the Bose app, but you can set the headphones up to be hands free for phone calls, connect to your Amazon accounts (and Google Home, according to the package, but we don’t have that). The sound quality is great. They stay connected to your devices and reconnect without having to manually reconnect them, like many devices. As someone with anxiety and noise sensitivity, my favorite feature is the noise cancellation. This feature works even when you do not have any sound running through the headphones. They come in a really nice leather like case that has a pocket for the chargers and wires. You can connect them with Bluetooth and a wire. The battery life is phenomenal! We charged it two weeks ago, use it about 3 hours a day and it still has 15 hours of battery life left! They are adjustable to fit a variety of head sizes as well. They are equally comfortable on my eleven year old, me, and my husband. They also are not super tight like many noise reduction headphones. Overall, very happy with these headphones!

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I've been using QC35 I for over two years and loved how comfotable they were. These improve on QC35 in two important ways, and are as comfortable (if not more). 1- It's hard to describe just how good the new microphone is. I used QC35 to make a lot of calls, and one of the reasons I never switched to Sony's was their bad microphone. 700s microphone is orders of magnitude better than even QC35s. You can have a conversation with someone at extremely quietly (So quietly someone literally standing next to you won't understand what you are saying) and the person on other end of the call will hear you perfectly fine. 2- The ambient sound mode is orders of magnitude more natural than the competition (Only compared to Sony XM3s). After switching to 700s from QC35s, I've noticed I don't take these off nearly as much as I had to take of 35s. Do they sound better and have better ANC than QC35? Probably! but the difference is marginal.
