Review #1: Positive Review
Excellent sound and comfort quality!
AMAZING!!!!! The moment I used the Bose Headphones I was addicted. It’s almost as if I cant live without them. My favorite features about the headphones are as such: 1) The sound is crisp and clear! The quality you get from such amazing sounding headphones are uncomparable to any other brand out there. 2) The comfort value is a 10 out of 10! … The cushion Bose has placed on their product allows myself to enjoy the use of their headphones for longer periods of time. 3) … the noise canceling feature. WOW is all I can say! … A very cool feature and one that I almost cant live without these days. 4) Setting up the app on your mobile device is simple too! … app also displays how much battery life is available before, during, and after each use.

Review #2: Critical Review
Very disappointing! Come on Bose, why release a buggy product?
Although the headphones look good and feel fantastic on, I was very disappointed with the functionality. I loaded the Bose Music app on my iPhone and then followed the instructions to pair the headphones. The Bose Music app worked well until the firmware on headphones automatically updated and installed. After that, game over! The Bose Music app could not pair with the headphones … Went on the Bose website and tried to do a factory reset, but that was useless. Bose customer service was also useless.

Great audio, connectivity and comfort issues
These work great for this “new normal” of teleworking with multiple people in the house. Being able to turn the level of noise cancellation to three different levels … is great. Audio quality seems very good. I have some occasional connectivity issues. … What happens is when the phone is dialing out I hear the dialing etc… through the headphones, but as soon as someone picks up it flips over to regular phone audio unless I change it back to bluetooth manually. This happens maybe 10% of the time. I have a very large head … I have to have the headphones maximally extended to fit (which is OK) but after a couple of hours of continual use the cartilage around my ears hurt and I can get a bit of a headache … they are not at all comfortable to drop them down to wear them around your neck when not in use … the earpieces apply pressure to the side/front of my neck. Not comfortable and feels like they could fall off.

Review #4: CNET’s Review
The Good: … very comfortable, have excellent noise canceling and work really well as a headset for making calls. They sound better than the Quiet Comfort 35 II, are loaded with features, including the option for hands-free Alexa and Bose AR. Noise-canceling levels are adjustable, they work without power; USB-C charging; transparency mode.
The Bad: $50 to $100 more than their closest competitors; QuietComfort 35 II is slightly more comfortable; battery life isn’t as good as the of some competitors; the accompanying mobile app isn’t fully baked.
The Bottom Line: The Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700 offers slightly better noise canceling, sound and call quality.

Review #6: Unbox Therapy’s Review
The Bose Noise Cancelling 700 headphones are the latest flagship wireless headphones from Bose. Bose was aiming to create the best wireless headphones of 2019… Did they succeed?
These are crazy comfortable. They’re light. … They are good-sounding headphones. Hmm, I’m not blown away. … The thing that’s kind of upsetting to me is the app. … This feels futuristic to me. Looks futuristic …
Review #7: 6 Months Later Reviews’s Review
A review of the Bose 700 noise cancelling headphones after 6 months of use, the features that stand out, any downsides, and our recommendation on whether or not you should get a pair.
… this all brings me to whether or not I recommend the Bose 700 Headphones, and unfortunately, I just can’t. Give the issues I’ve run into over the past 6 months with multiple pairs of these headphones, I can’t recommend them. It is possible I may just have been unlucky, and I just got two bad pairs of headphones …

Bose 700: One Year Review
I think if you currently do not own any sort of noise-canceling headphones, I would really recommend just something like this … just having something to block out noise whether you’re in the gym or in the office or just at home … or maybe you already own a pair of noise-canceling earphones, but you want something a little more robust, more comfortable that will last you a whole day even a whole week. I’d say if you’re in that boat, I can definitely highly recommend the Bose 700s.
Review #9: Social Reviews
Just when I thought @bose ‘s QC35ii’s couldn’t get better, here we are with the new Bose 700 … I’ve been a fan of the sound of Bose headphones for a while now so the quality of the 700’s are what I’d expect from the company. The Active Noise Cancelling for both are good. … But I think the biggest difference between the QC35 and the 700 is the comfort … the 700’s ear pads felt like my head was being hugged by clouds. If you can imagine such a thing … if you already have the QC35 in hand, I’d say hang on to them

Have you ever noticed that in almost every selfie I share either at home or in transit, I have on a pair of @Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones? I legit live in them … the best ever headphones from @Bose so far! Not only are these sleek, comfortable, and powerful, they are packed with tons of new technology for 2020 — adjustable Noise Cancelling, Voice Assistant, and AR capabilities. No matter where we are in the world, these are perfect for my one-person dance parties (Wireless headphones that actually stay on when I’m grooving!) And still come with a wire when you need it to watch movies on planes.

Review #10: r/bose
I also have both the 700s and AirPods Max. I’ll be the first to tell people I doubted they would be my preferred choice when working, but the AirPods are my 1st choice when sitting. However, the Bose are better when moving around to me.
I don’t listen to anything at max-volume. But just from experimenting, the Bose NC700 undoubtedly have more distortion at 90%+ volume … from 60–70% volume, the AirPods Max continue to sound better than Bose (still like the Bose in general tho). Can’t go wrong with either option, but AirPods Max do sound better.
However, the software disappoints, I could go on and on about the connection issues that I faced while on zoom calls
