Review on 🎧 Black Bose Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones 700 with Alexa Voice Control and Built-In Microphone for Clear Calls by Som Sak ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Matches the description completely, very satisfied.

Bought to replace the first generation Sony MDR-1000X, which, after three years of very active life, are kept from falling apart completely only with a large amount of glue. I was pleased with the soundproofing of the previous ones, but these ones were directly impressive. Loud kettles, robot vacuum cleaners and tire noise on the street are removed by 95%. Haven't had a chance to try it on a plane yet. The sound of the Bose is not exactly my thing, but for books and podcasts it's just a great option.

Pros
  • The best noise canceling I've ever heard (and I've been using ANC headphones for 6 years now and have tried all the big names in the category). Impressive. They sit comfortably, can be worn for 5 hours a day, do not press. Bluetooth 5.0, connect with two devices. Decent battery life and fast charging. Just a cosmic look. The level of noise isolation is really distinguishable. According to the interlocutors, excellent microphones. Touch control is ok, the buttons work well: quickly turn on, turn off, put into pairing mode. Switch between already paired devices quickly.
Cons
  • The assembly raises no questions, but the materials and design are so "licked" that they will not be able to age with dignity. By comparison, the B&W PX7 evoke the opposite impression. The sound of Bose is not that "bad", but not mine, so I personally did not particularly like them for music. They don't play over USB-C audio. It's a pity. There is no AptX support, only AAC and SDC. Not important to me, but definitely worth mentioning. The application connects via Bluetooth LE and if the headphones are already connected to two devices, it will not be able to connect and will not show a clear error. Most will probably never notice.
