Surprisingly Unacceptable Demands from Bose

Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2019

Color: Triple BlackVerified Purchase

I had been eagerly waiting for this new model to be released, but I have to say that it's going right back. First, I was shocked to discover that Bose forces you to download their app to even make the headphones work at all - the headphones will not function at all without it. Good luck if you are in an area without a live internet connection. I was not happy having to do this, but I downloaded the app. I then found out that you are FORCED to open a Bose account or your new headphones will stay non-functional! Further, unless you agreed with their privacy policy, AND give your headphones full-time access to your microphone, AND allow your location history to be downloaded, etc., YOUR HEADPHONES ARE NON-FUNCTIONAL!!! Even the new design is a step backward in my opinion as it tries to make the headphones do too many things with swipes and taps to the ear cups, etc. Sure, you can vary the volume by "swiping", but good luck in making small changes to get a desired level.

The Pros, Cons and Oks for Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700 (HR).

Reviewed in the United States on June 30, 2019

Color: Triple Black

Pros:
• Beautifully designed. It looks like it’s made from one sheet of stainless steel and feels pretty dam solid. No visible screws, no joints, very sleek.
• There is a soft touch plastic on the device. It’s a nice feel and I have to believe they went this way to reduce weight.
• Adjusting the speakers is purely simple. You just slide the ear cups up or down to your choosing.
• The touch panel on the speaker is very quick. It didn’t take long to know how to use it because Bose provides a simple layout on using the touch features.
• One highlight of these headphones is the voice speaking system. Inside this machine, you’re getting 8 individual microphones. 6 are for the noise canceling and the last two are for your voice. I sat in my busy office (an open floor layout) and began to make calls using this. This function is excellent. The noise canceling blocks out 80-90% of my surroundings while anyone I talk to, using this headphone, had no idea that I was in the center of my office space during our rush hour. Very clean in speaking with it, and my colleagues on the phone notice it as well (doesn’t really go both ways because they don’t have the 700, but you can’t win them all).
• What’s really cool about the noise canceling feature is that you have levels on how much you want to block the outside world. This is a great treat to have because there were times that I needed to forget the world when I was on my break, and there were times that I was waiting for someone to call me. The layout is a high, medium, to full transparency. I always stick to medium when I’m not at home, and go to the high levels when I know I wouldn’t be needed. My advice is to use the full transparency when walking because this headphone’s noise canceling system is so good that it can be dangerous if you don’t know your surroundings.
• With the noise canceling feature, I’m also not getting any distortion from playing music.
• I will only use the highest noise canceling settings either at home or on a plane. You can’t hear anything going on when this feature is active.
• Overall the system is built to never leave your head.
• You can use all the AIs if you want (Google, Alexa, Siri). I have each one of them on a different product, and all were able to hear me clearly after I turned an external speaker extremely high in order to see how the headphones will take with a large amount of external sound coming at it.
• I’m getting around 4 days of use (that’s around 4 hours a day). Battery life is respectable.
• Bluetooth is fast and I’m happy to also note that that having the Bluetooth feature on all the time doesn’t drain the battery. I know some headphones and phones have this issue. But not this one.
• The case it comes with allows the headphones to fold flat and has a small pocket for the cable. Very premium
• You do have a wire mode if the battery does die. Surprisingly now the issue is finding a phone with a headphone jack.
• Comfort is spot on. I was never an ear cover headphone type of guy because my ears start to get hot. The comfort that it provides me makes this a minimal issue at most.
• The app is very customizable to these headphones. One example is the battery life of the headphones. On the app it will not only tell an accurate battery lifetime frame, but you can make the headphones shut off automatically if they're not in use within a specific time frame that you created.
• The app also allows you to create a number of sound profiles. As I said, very customizable
• You can also get to battery life, told to you, from the headphones themselves.
• The charging on these headphones are really quick. I did a 15-minute charge and that gave me an extra 2 hours of battery life.
• The sound is very smooth, clear, and what you get from any headphones from Bose (will explain more below).

Cons and Oks:
• You can’t fold up this device. It’s a sleek design but there are no hinges as the only option of storage using the case that it comes with.
• No aptX or aptX HD support
• Bose hasn’t yet found a solution in allowing the option to temporarily amplifying your surroundings when you need to. Sony has done this in their past headphones, but Bose has yet to get on board.
• I notice that these headphones do get off heat. When you’re using the noise canceling feature, the heat will grow.
• Bose headphones always provide the best in smoothness, but not in the bass. The bass is strong, but you expect a little more than what it offers. Obliviously this depends on the type of music you’re listening to. But for real hardcore beat music, you might get a step down in performance because the bass sounds a little tighter.
• These headphones tend to sand down the music you’re playing to (Listening to Kayne West, Lady Gaga, Jay Z songs that require a full range of sounds). It’s the signature way of what Bose does, but it’s still incredible to listen to it them. Note that the noise canceling feature really does help.
• Speech to text works pretty well. There is some miscommunication, but this is hard to go out on the headphones as it also depends on the program you’re using (was just using a basic voice speech program on my mac).
• There is a weight to these headphones, but fortunately, the weight is scattered evenly.
• The touch swipe feature is a nice change of pace, but I know those who live in cold environments will not enjoy this. Having mittens/gloves on won’t work with the touch sensor, so you’ll need to remove them in order to use it. The climate region on where you live may be an impact if you want to buy these.
• Make sure you download the right app. Bose has so many of them and it’s easy to download the wrong one since they all have similar names.
• It does deliver a suburb voice assistant support but I didn’t focus on this since 1. You have Goggles, Siri, and Alexa on standby and 2. This is new, and I already saw some bugs in this layout.

Bottom Line:

It’s Bose. Bose is the father of premium sound for decades so you’re getting the best of the best in sound. The design is sleek, the sound is great, and the noise canceling is excellent. One of the best features is using the microphone/calling setup. I recently reviewed the Denon AH-GC30, and the microphone/calling setup is the way for these new headphones.

There is not much to complain because anyone who has a Bose knows that everything you spent on a Bose comes from the hardware within. Yes, I wish the bass was a little better, and the design issue of not being able to fold it is annoying. But the overall sound is a Bose sound, so if you have the money, pick these up for yourself.

Overall: It’s Bose, the Ferrari of sound. A need for music lovers and a must for those who want quiet in a busy world.

Hope I was a help to you.
Love,
Honest Reviewer.

A well rounded ANC wireless headphone

Reviewed in the United States on June 30, 2019

Color: Triple Black

Received these Saturday from Bose after I pre-ordered them when they were announced.

I am thoroughly impressed so far.

Packaging is simplistic and straight to the point with two peel back tabs that let you inside. From there, you will see the NCH 700's case which was smaller than I thought because they don't fold up like the QC35II's. The case fits in my work bag just fine. However, I do have say it's not as small overall as the QC35II's case. The NCH 700 case has a little magnetic flap inside that stores the audio and USB-C cable. No airplane adapter. Thank you Bose for going USB-C with the NCH 700's. What's left is manuals and warranty cards.

The feel of the NCH 700's is nice. It's a streamlined design that grew on me and looks very modern. Weight is slightly more than the QC35II's. Build quality is significantly superior with more metals being used and most importantly, the comfort is similar. I would maybe give the slight edge to the QC35II in comfort due to the lower weight, but the NCH 700's is still a very comfortable headphone. The headband adjustment is smooth and should accommodate a wide variety of head sizes just fine. Ear-cup openings is similar to the QC35II with the left and right labels inside the ear cups for easy notation on how to put the headphones on.

Controls are great and I can say the touch controls are very responsive and intuitive. Swipe up for volume increase. Swipe down for volume decrease. Swipe forward for the next track. Swipe backward for the previous track. Double tap to play and pause. Tap once to accept and incoming call. Tap and hold to reject the call. Tap and hold to go to a shortcut predefined in the app. The current shortcut available was to have the voice prompt alert you of the current battery life in which she tells you the estimated time until the battery is dead. There's 3 dedicated buttons on the NCH 700's. The two on the right is responsible for Power on/Bluetooth pairing and voice assistance/mute mic. The one on the left is to cycle between the 3 preset noice cancelling modes defined with the app. The right earpiece houses the USB-C port and the left earpiece houses the audio input port.

The app provides a lot of functionality control. You can on the fly scroll though the noise cancelling/ambient modes from 0-10. 0 being like having no headphones on at all and 10 being in your own little acoustical chamber. You can launch Bose AR apps and experience augmented reality with he NCH 700's. Pretty cool. You can select the sources that are connected and add a new source or remove an existing source. The NCH 700 can connect to up to 2 devices at once. You can set your voice assistant between Siri, Google Assistant or Alexa. You can set how much of your voice is heard during phone calls or voice assistant interaction. If you're familiar with the QC35II's Bose Connect app, it's pretty much similar settings you can control.

Sound on the NCH 700's is clean, open and balanced when at moderate volumes. No frequency really stands out so you get an accurate representation of your music. I would say they sound similar to the QC35II but with a tighter bass. The Sony WH1000Xm3 in comparison sounds more warm and full with a more engaging and alive presentation similar to being at the concert. The Bose sounds more accurate and clear and more like being in the studio. A flat and accurate sound will not sound exciting to everyone however so do keep that into consideration if you're eyeing the Bose.. Sound is subjective overall so you can't go wrong with what you enjoy listening to. I really enjoy the NCH 700's sound. It's a smooth and clear sound that plays well with all genres. The main issue I have with the Bose NCH 700 sound is that when you want to crank the volume, the bass literally begins to disappear in the mix due to the active EQ implementation from Bose. I personally do not like this as it makes these headphones sound harsh and tinny.

Noise cancelling is insanely good on the NCH 700's. The Sony WH1000Xm3 is still a bit more effective at reducing outside noises especially in the midrange and treble frequencies. Unfortunately, both headphones get those distortion artifacts when the ANC pressure within the ear cups is disrupted from sudden vibrations to the headphones. For example this can be caused by being on a bus while on a bumpy road or running with your headphones on. The ambient aware mode is very natural feeling on the NCH 700 and it's great being able to have awareness while listening to audio in situations where you don't want to blocked completely from the world. Would be cool if it had the Sony's right hand palm over the ear cup feature where it seamlessly kicks in ambient sound and lowers the music volume so you can quickly hear someone or something and then once your hand leaves the right ear cup, everything reverts back to normal. The Bose NCH 700 does this with the button on the left ear cup. If you press and hold the button for about 2 seconds, it pauses the music and pipes in the nosies around you. When you press the button again, it reverts back to the previously set ANC setting and resumes playing audio.

The NCH 700's perform exceptionally for voice mic quality on calls and interacting with your voice assistant. It's amazing how clear your voice is projected onto the other line while using the NCH 700. These are killer for conference calls even if you dare take them in the middle of Times Square, NYC.

Overall, the NCH 700 is a welcome evolution to the Bose headphone line up and I'm sure these will win the hearts of many. Highly recommended!

Mr. B. Rose

The good, the bad and the lovely!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 27, 2019

Color: Triple BlackVerified Purchase

I've owned a pair of Bose QuietComfort 15 headphones for the last seven years, I chose them as I preferred the over ear design and I liked having a replaceable battery which I could change on the move without the hassle of recharging. The noise cancellation of those was class leading, when new, but has since been left a little behind as newer models have been released.

Since 2012, bluetooth wireless has become mainstream. My daily phone (Oneplus 6T) doesn't even have a headphone jack and I had to use an adapter to connect my old headphones. This wasn't a major concern, neither was the wire, as I only really use my headphones with my Google Pixel C tablet when sat still on the train. When moving around I usually use a set of Plantronic earphones, which are more suited to walking and running than a heavy pair of cans.

By 2018 I'd worn out one of the two included headphone cables and had ordered my third paid or earpad cushions - I use these headphones every working day a couple of hours. The headphones were visibly as new and fully functional, but some parts simply worn out after some 3500+ hours of use and I suspected the noise cancellation wasn't as good as it used to be.

So I started looking around at options. I liked some functions of the Microsoft Surface headphones, but they didn't quite tick all the boxes for me. The Sony headphones were getting great reviews, but would only connect to one device over Bluetooth - given the entry cost of these devices I wanted to make sure I was somewhat "future proof" and a single device seemed a bit limited. I also wanted USB-C charging, which the older Bose headphones didn't have. My phone and tablet are both USB-C so I wasn't going back there.

Enter the Bose 700 Noise Cancelling headphones which appeared to tick all the boxes for me:

- Bluetooth wireless including "HD Audio: AAC" support.
- Touch controls for volume, track skip etc
- Class leading noise cancellation including a button to disable temporarily if somebody like cabin crew or train guard need to talk to you momentarily.
- 20 hour battery life - well in excess of my tablet and enough to get me over a week between charging.
- Google assistant (and Alexa) support. Don't expect to use this much but it's there should be usage change.
- High quality phone call options - again, not expecting to use much but a nice to have for many.
- Can connect to multiple (two) bluetooth sources concurrently.

So I ordered the NC 700 and eagerly awaited delivery.

On arrival I took them out of the box and they were exactly how I expected. My old QC-15 only had one switch but these looked much cleaner, especially in the black finish vs the old silver. The new band design is pretty stylish and works well. The size adjustment is different but works well and I find the 700s sit on my head nicely for hours without any discomfort. If you have a larger head, the headphones won't fit back in the case without sliding the band back first - this is fairly easy but I guess could get annoying if you used a lot and were at the larger end of the adjustment. The mechanism is also a little "loose" which, while they won't change size in use at all, may rattle a little if you were walking in them. I don't plan to move around so no concern for me however.

I'd read about a LOT of problems with the app needed to set the headphones, but these were largely from early adopters and the app has since been updated, fixing a lot of the issues. Also most of the problems were from Apple iPhone uses, I'm an Android guy. I expect I'll be fine...

Seems I spoke too soon. Bose didn't quite get this right. I downloaded the "Bose Music" app easily enough and registered to use - something that shouldn't be necessary. I used my Facebook login to activate the app, rather than having a dedicated username/password for Bose.

App fully activated, I turned on the headphone and they were detected right away by the app. So far, so good. Then the app tries to automatically pair the device with your phone. It didn't work. Not much troubleshooting, just said it had failed. Tried again, failed. Being a techie, I then decided to go to my phone's bluetooth settings and pair them manually. I had to turn the headphones off and on again, to get them back into pairing mode and visible on the phone's bluetooth interface, but pairing worked first time. I could then use the Connect button in the app and view all the settings. OK, we're good to go.

I put the headphones on and pressed play on some music in Spotify. Worked first time, all good and audio quality (whilst subjective) as good as I expected and no major concern when compared to my old QC-15. I'd heard some concerns about bass levels etc but these are just fine for me - they aren't going to give Beats levels of thumping bass though, thankfully.

My phone prompted to finish completion of the Google Assistant function, I tested that and it worked well. You press a dedicated physical button on the headphones for this although I understand you can just say "Alexa" and it will trigger without a button push - may not be useful in public! I was surprised how quietly I could speak and be heard though.

I tested different noise cancellation levels and the ability to hold the NC button down when somebody walked up to my desk. This function is great, but a little slow. Somebody walks up and starts to talk, you reach for the button, can't find it right away as they are new, and then when you finally hold down the button it takes about 1.5 secs to mute the music and switch off the noise cancellation. It's quicker to take them off so the feature just misses the mark for me - I may look at reprogramming the button so I can just kill it in one click, but this won't pause the music. Turning the headphones off also won't work as then the external sound will remain muffled, and turning off also takes a second - playing a shutdown chime as it does so. So it's great if you want to talk to somebody else and press the button before doing so, but a bit of hassle if somebody taps you on the shoulder before you see them coming. Maybe this will improve with a future update. The noise cancellation overall is superb though, and a marked improvement on the QC-15. I put this down to newer tech with more microphones and better foam cushioning that works better around my glasses.

The touch controls are working very well. Double tap to play/pause, swipe for volume or track skip. So far they work well for me and I haven't had any failed or phantom touches, despite hot, sweaty hands in a heatwave - will update the review if this happens.

Battery life is what it said on the box, they arrived with about 4 hours of charge - the battery meter in the app doesn't refresh immediately though which confused me after they'd been on charge a while and it didn't appear to have gone up. I understand a 15 minute charge will give you three hours of listening time, which is good if you forget to charge them and only have a little while before running for your train. I haven't validated the 20 hours of life but I don't expect to be disappointed here. No, you can't use them while connected to the charger, I tried.

While testing the music, my phone rang and the headphones immediately alerted me by not only ringing but also telling me who was calling without having to look at my phone. Handy. I answered the call with a double tap and began to talk. The caller had no idea I was on my headphones and I could hear them clearly in a "centre stage" position with noise cancellation meaning I couldn't hear the office noise around me. It led to a very clear, comfortable phone call and it made me realise I'd use them a lot more for this function than expected. I can watch videos on my tablet and, should my phone ring halfway through, I'll be able to take the call without taking off my headphones. Perfect.

Which leads me onto the multiple device support. I installed the Bose Music app on my tablet and signed in using the Facebook credentials I'd used last time. It saw my headphones and tried to pair with them, again badly. Being familiar with the process I turned on the headphone, then held down the power button for a second or so until I heard a voice prompt "ready to pair another device". All paired up, I played a video on my tablet. I heard audio, but bad, choppy broken up audio. Like interference you would get with a bad signal, but the devices were next to each other. I tried music on my phone again, all good. Back to my tablet - broken. Totally unusable. I turned everything off and on again. Hold on it's working. Perhaps it was a fluke problem. Then I noticed I hadn't entered my pin code on my phone, when I did it completed booting and the Bose NC 700 announced "Oneplus 6T connected" and the tablet audio died again. I could use one, or the other, but not both - pretty useless given the multiple device support I'd bought them for.

A Google search revealed I wasn't alone with this issue and it wasn't limited to Android to tablets. I found a couple of people trying to connect a Macbook as a second device without success. All suffered from the same broken, stuttering audio. I searched some more and found a reference to a firmware update for these headphones. What version was I using? I looked in the app for a reference to it.

Open the Bose Music app, find your headphones, turn them on, then use the "Connect" button. Randomly at this point the app will make you go through the "ready to connect another device" function again. I just had to when reproducing the steps for this review. It's now showing battery life as 20hrs 14mins and hadn't finished charging when I turned them on. Once connected tab the picture to go through to the device details and then click the "settings" button". Scroll down the list and towards the bottom is "Technical Info". Tapping this will show the firmware version, manufacturing date etc. I was running 1.0.9.863.47372cb but then it displayed that it was downloading an update. No prompt, no "do you want to update?", it just did it. Music carried on playing during the process but I couldn't stop it.

I have no idea where it downloaded the update from but it was sloooow. It took around one hour to complete. Don't turn the headphones off, it will stop and you may have to start again. Don't try it on another device to see if it will go quicker, you'll just have to start again - I did. Just wait.

After the wait I had been updated to version 1.1.4.1144.be3bf4b - the headphones had to reboot for this, so music was stopped momentarily. I'n now on the latest version, but did it fix my problem?

I tried music from my phone, all good. I tried video on my tablet, audio still broken. I turned off bluetooth on my phone, tablet audio fixed. Phone back on, tablet audio broken. It was better in that I didn't have to reboot to fix the fault each time it happened, but I still couldn't connect two devices at the same time. Should I send them back?

One last Google around, I found similar problems people were having with the old Bose QC35 headphones. These had suggested updating the software and then performing a factory reset on the headphones - a process which required a button that doesn't exist on the NC 700. So I searched for a reset procedure for the NC 700 and found one that would clear the Bluetooth settings. Process as follows:

Turn the headphones off.
On your phone, go into Bluetooth settings and delete the NC 700 headphones.
On your tablet and any other devices, go into Bluetooth settings and delete the NC700 headphones.
Turn the headphones on, while wearing.
Press and hold down the power button for 10+ settings, ignoring other prompts, until you hear "bluetooth device list cleared".

Now open the Bose Music App on your phone. Try to connect to your headphones, it will try to pair them again. Mine failed like it did the first time but I tried and tried until is succeeded. DO NOT pair them using your phone settings. Let the app do it. Once successful, do the same on your other device. Now test.

Since doing this, my set-up has been flawless. But it took far too long to get to the this point, using the combined knowledge or myself, some forum posts about these headphones, some posts about older headphone and some guess work. But we're working, finally.

So, on to the scoring...

For £349 these should be five star headphones. In fairness, they probably are, but the software lets them down. I only got these working as I'm a real techie and I refuse to give up - they'll get a lot of faulty returns and rightly so.

I've taken a whole star off for the bad app that won't even run in landscape mode on my tablet. The pairing process is a joke and should have been easier - most headphone manufacturers get you to use the device native pairing on your phone or tablet, this would likely have been easier for most owners.

The other star I've taken off for a combination of the following:

1) Bluetooth audio isn't as high quality as that with a wire. Other wireless technologies exist but aren't supported by this device. The HD audio support also seems to be a bit hit and miss, sometimes the option doesn't appear on my phone/tablet after connecting. The headphones are capable of better quality than the bluetooth connection allows.

2) The headphones can't be charged while laying flat in the case.

3) You can't use the headphones while connected to the charger - rare use care, but why not?

4) The noise cancelling override function takes a little too long to engage.

5) The case zipper is too long and it's hard to fully open whilst holding them. Hard to explain, but you'll know the first time you try to open them. The case folds open like a book and the spine isn't long enough.

6) Compulsory registration with Bose - should not be needed.

7) Software update wasn't automatic and would fix many issues if this happened during first time set-up.

8) Switching playback source devices could be easier. If I want to go from music on my phone, to video audio on my tablet, the process is a bit of a fiddle.

So, five star headphones with 1.5 stars of niggles. I'd have given these 3.5 stars but, without that option, I gave them a 3 rather than a 4. I'll update this review if any of these things improve. I'm also happy to answer any questions posted to this page if I've missed anything - although can't answer Apple issues.

I'm happy with the headphones now, with no plans to return, but they don't justify the entry price until some of these niggles are fixed.

Unverständlicher Anmeldezwang

Reviewed in Germany on July 15, 2019

Color: Triple BlackVerified Purchase

Um alle Einstellungen am Headset vornehmen zu können benötigt man ein Smartphone, weil man eine App benötigt. Um diese App verwenden zu können, benötigt man ein Benutzerkonto bei Bose. Um dieses Benutzerkonto zu bekommen, benötigt die App Mail-Adresse, Vor- und Nachnamen und Zugriff auf die Standortinformationen des Smartphones und die Zustimmung zu ellenlangen Datenschutzbestimmungen, Endnutzervertrag und Benutzervertrag. Was für ein Aufwand. Was für ein dreister Zwang zur Preisgabe meiner Daten. Absolutes No Go!

Geräuschunterdrückung: Absolut hervorragend! Sehr sehr viele Maschinen- und Rumpelgeräusche, Rauschen, Tastaturtippen werden exzellent unterdrückt.

Soundqualität: Gut, in den Höhen unruhig. Bässe eher normal, nicht zu wuchtig. Insgesamt aber nicht richtig rund. Dennoch: Im Zusammenspiel mit der Geräuschunterdrückung absolut akzeptabel auch für Musikgenuss. Für Sprache einwandfrei.

Bluetooth-Verbindung: Sehr stabil und zuverlässig. Bisher keine Abbrüche erlebt.

Mikro: noch nicht getestet

Fazit: Zwang zum Benutzerkonto für App-Verwendung mit übergroßem Vertragswerk und Standortfreigabe führt zur Abwertung auf einen Stern. Andere Headsets mit gleichem Komfort können das auch ohne all dies.

I did the comparing, so that you don't have to

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 3, 2019

Color: Triple BlackVerified Purchase

I was browsing the internet for good headphones (my previous headphones being the boy QC35 II's), so the obvious good headphones that I would have to choose between were:
1. Sony WH-1000XM3
2. Bose QC35 II
3. Bose NC 700

Battery life:
I did some research and found that the battery life from the Sony's were 30hrs compared to the 20hrs on the Bose, (to be honest though, that wasn't really a dealbreaker as realistically there won't be a situation were I will be using the headphones for 30hrs straight without having the opportunity to charge it beforehand).

comfort: (no question)
1. Bose QC35 II's (just unrivalled, can't even feel it)
2. Bose NC 700 (clamping force uncomfortable in the beginning, however after wearing for 5 hours, maybe even more comfortable or just as comfortable as QC 35II's)
3. Sony WH-1000XM3 (In my opinion, cramped, ears touch the inside of the headphones, Bose really just are the best)

Looks:
1. Bose NC 700 (sleek, futuristic, seamless)
2. Sony WH-1000XM3 (pretty good looking)
3. Bose QC35 II (just s a bit of an outdated look)

features: (Bose VS Sony)
Bose:
- can connect up to 2 devices at once (EXTREMELY helpful)
- Matches Sony's conversation mode
- Matches Sony's touch gestures
- App really does work well for me (IDK why people says it doesn't work, it works perfectly for me)
- More noise cancelling levels
- Tells you actual battery life time left improvement from QC35 II
- AI thing that helps noise cancellation
- CALL QUALITY! mics (best in any headphone)
- Case compartment for wires and cables (huge+ and improvement from QC35 II)
Sony:
- Better app, configure sound
- Conversation mode without buttons
- touch gestures

Sound:
1. Sony (just can't beat the bass)
2. Bose NC 700's (actually a noticeable sound improvement from QC35 II)
3. Bose QC35 II (still pretty good though)

Price:
1. Sony (£267.10) (great value)
2. Bose NC 700 (£349) (kinda expensive and overpriced considering lack of improvement (although not bad))
3. Bose QC35 II (£259) (OG pretty good)

Conclusion:
Now, you are probably trying to decide what to get and don't want to make a wrong decision (now don't worry if you don't like it. You can return it within 30 days of purchase because amazon is reliable and great with customer service.

I am personally sticking to my Bose NC 700, as comfort is extremely important, but so are the new features from the new Bose. It looks great and the sound quality is great. I will always also be loyal to Bose, as they are my all time favourite headphone company.

But if you are on a budget, and still want great headphones then the obvious choice would be the Sony WH-1000XM3.

Edit: after using this for a bit, I am deciding to return this item for a number fo reasons.
1. the app doesn't connect well
2. It's a massive pain to retract and extend the headphone length every time you pack it!
3. you have to be really careful with it when putting it in your bag etc. (looks as if it would scratch easily)

Déçu par le son, qualité fabrication TOP

Reviewed in France on August 19, 2019

Bonjour à tous,
Moi je suis déçu quand même, je suis à la base très son Bose, mais là, ça manque de punch, dans le sens où les graves ne sont pas fort, par la j’entend que
Même sur un son il y’a de la basse naturellement là avec ce modèle c’est atténué, donc au final de l’aigue et du médium (très précis par ailleurs) le son est très détaillé, mais au final si vous écoutez le son un peu fort, c’est très fatiguant.
Donc oui la finition est vraiment top, et si vous appeler souvent avec un casque la réduction du bruit en mode appelle téléphone est vraiment bluffant voir même impressionnant.
Moi je le retourne ( heureusement que je l’ai acheté chez Amazon ), pourtant j’essaye de m’habituer mais rien à faire le son me déçoit et a 400€ c’est non.
À voir si Bose sort un Égaliseur Avec l’appli bose music (chose qui devrait arriver, mais quand ???)
Donc il faut vraiment l’essayer avec avant d’acheter mais avec ses morceaux...
Cordialement
PS: Si mon commentaire vous a plu un petit j’aime serait cool

Poor noise cancelling and horrible app

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 12, 2019

Color: Triple BlackVerified Purchase

As somebody fortunate enough to also own a pair of Beoplay H9’s and a pair of Sony xm3’s I can safely say these are poor!

I bought them mainly because many reviews by reputable publications claimed that the ANC on level 10 made it almost impossible to hear the outside world. This I now know to be incorrect. On a train journey yesterday they merely dimmed the sound slightly. The Sony xm3’s are far superior for noise cancelling.

Having to install the Bose App is an exercise in frustration, it took me 45 minutes to get installed and setup due to consistently failing to “activate” my headphones!! Why should I have to activate a pair of headphones? What’s more when you spend £350 on a pair of headphones you don’t expect such a poor mobile companion product, the user experience is dreadful!

Plus que jamais, on frôle la perfection.

Reviewed in France on August 16, 2019

Color: Triple BlackVerified Purchase

J'utilise ce produit pour écouter de la musique (en bluetooth) et jouer sur le pc (en filaire pour éviter la latence due à des codecs trop lents).
J'ai vu beaucoup de commentaires négatifs et probablement impertinents. Je vais ici donner mon avis objectif sur chaque point important.
Ce casque supporte le Bluetooth 5, ce qui assure une rapidité de connexion parfaite, surtout comparée aux casques bluetooth 4 comme le Bose QC35. En soi, ce détail n'est pas vraiment important, mais voilà.
La qualité sonore est excellente. Remarquablement supérieure à celle du Bose QC35 par exemple. On discerne avec une clarté remarquable absolument chaque détail sonore de n'importe quelle musique. (Vous essayerez sur une musique douce des années 80, on entend absolument tout, respiration, pédales du piano, mouvements de vêtements)
La réduction active est incontestablement meilleure que sur le Bose QC35. Je ne peux pas la comparer à celle du Sony WH-1000XM3 car je ne l'ai pas essayé, mais j'ai du mal à croire qu'elle puisse lui être supérieure, au mieux équivalente. Bose maîtrise cette technologie depuis le début et a probablement une meilleure expérience. Toutefois cela n'est pas un fait, je préfère ne rien affirmer.
La batterie tient effectivement les 20 heures en bluetooth avec l'isolation sonore au maximum, rien à dire de plus.
L'application est fonctionnelle mais pourrait être meilleure. Elle met du temps à réussir à se connecter au casque alors que celui-ci est pourtant déjà connecté à l'appareil. Un conseil : ne touchez à rien et laissez-la charger, même si c'est long. Sinon elle prendra encore plus de temps. Bose a du travail à faire là-dessus.
La charge en USB de type C est extrêmement pratique, on peut utiliser le même chargeur que pour son téléphone (s'il est récent et sous Android), sinon un câble USB classique à USB C est fourni.
Un câble Jack vers le casque est également fourni afin d'en faire un casque filaire classique. Cela retire toutes les latences liées aujourd'hui au bluetooth.
Là où ce Bose 700 pèche est dans son design élégant qui en fait un casque avec une mauvaise prise en main. Il est très beau, très soigné et très doux, mais semble aussi frêle et fragile. Toutefois sur la tête il tient très bien et est léger ; on ne le remarque même pas.
Le son est aussi très bien confiné dans le casque, contrairement à ce que dit un autre commentaire. Exceptionnellement mieux que dans le Bose QC35 par exemple. Je peux écouter de la musique presqu'au seuil de douleur des oreilles sans qu'un seul son ne puisse être perçu dans une pièce avec une fenêtre ouverte par exemple. Réellement aucun. J'ai une bonne ouïe.
Les contrôles sont extrêmement intuitifs, une petite salle tactile invisible permet de changer le volume, passer à la musique précédente/suivante et mettre en pause avec des gestes simples et une fluidité surprenante.
Un bouton permet aussi de mettre en pause la musique et de désactiver la réduction de bruit pour entrer dans une discussion courte, sans devoir retirer le casque. Je l'utilise tout le temps, c'est très pratique.
Ce casque vaut-il 400€ ? La vraie question est : avez-vous 400€ à dépenser. Si non, achetez le Sony dont je parle plus haut. 150€ moins cher pour une valeur probablement équivalente est un bon choix.
Si votre âme est chez Bose, vous ne le regretterez pas. Je peux dire sans avoir peur de mentir que ce casque est le meilleur casque du marché, quelle que soit votre activité.
Foncez.

Some excellent qualities but with deal breaking minus points/problems.

Reviewed in Germany on July 12, 2019

Color: Triple BlackVerified Purchase

Written: 18.07.2019
Updated: 01.05.2020

Aspects of a good headset: Comfort, sound quality of music, sound quality of call, BT connection, Multipairing ability, Noise Cancelling, looks/design, ease of transport.

Sound quality: 9/10
Call quality: 10/10 ( It is good.. but the noise isolation makes it hard to hear yourself speak, On Pc I found it work fine)
ANC: 8/10 ( can always be improved)
BT ease of connection: 5/10 (Good if you are lucky, but very deal breaking problems I encountered)
Design, style, comfort, ease of transport: 2/10 ( shockingly bad: I do not recommend it because of this.)
Battery life: 2/10 ( was expecting more for a headset of that price in 2019)

Pros:

1. BT connection is seamless and fast on a samsung Galaxy Note 8. Both first connection and second reconnection. First time connection to PC simultaneously was fine. But when I removed it and paired it again the sound would keep crackling even tho I connected it via the Bose App on mobile. It would also disconnect from PC randomly. It is too much of a hassle when my 50 Euros TaoTronics has absolutely no problems to do just the basics.

2. Voice call quality is good. Although when you speak you do not hear yourself well specially if ANC is on. You might end up talking very loudly because you do not hear yourself. From mobile phone with Bose app etc installed, when I call via telegram for example I do not hear myself well enough so you need to speak much louder. On PC I did not have this issue as the headset sends back the external sound to your ears. I have no idea if and when they work, you just never know what will work. Very unreliable overall. Again on the basics my TaoTronics ( apologies for using this model because I have only this model as backup), this works with no problem on the absolute basics which this expensive Bose has massive struggles.

3. Music sound is clean and the bass is good and full...it rolls really well..like you feel the ripples.. Depending on preference it can be anywhere between excellent to less good. It is a question of taste, I think this Bose gives you a very clean and full sound with very good bass.

4. ANC is good. You can distinctly feel the difference between no ANC and full ANC. The ANC is better than the TT. With the TT I could still ear the annoying loud talking from my neighbour: enough to still irritate me, although it reduced. But the Bose would make it down enough to be hardly audible. Plus with some light background music, the talking noise is not audible. Which was not the case with TT. Even with music the TT would still allow the noise talking to slip though. So the Bose is better but it is not going to block all the noise. It is just reduced.

5. Installs update automatically when you install the Bose Music app. Compared to first time I tried, I had the feeling that the app was very strange. It had very little options for me to manage this headset. ( If there are, then the Bose designers did a good job to hide them and make it very hard for users to find.)

6. Google assistant button easy to use. But mind you, I pressed on that button so many times accidentally and the annoying thing is to hear the Bose assistant speak. Nothing more irritating specially as you will understand below that this assistant always stops your music to speak: All the time.

Cons:

1. Why do I need to sign in? If all Bose customers would simply put back the headset in its box and return it when they see the mandatory sign in menu to even install the app and try the headset: am sure they would stop harassing and forcing users to sign in. So users must know to use this headset: you need to give them your email or social logins. Am already annoyed when I see this.

Audio breaking/ audio cutting off when voice assistant tells you which device is connected:
2. Does not happen with my other headsets => When utube is run on PC with windows 10, and BT is connected on a Samsung Galaxy Note 8, utube audio on PC kept breaking => In 2020 I try it again and I see the same issue.. but this issue got fixed when I installed the app(temporaily). On second reconnection I keep getting constantly sound breaking issues even if am not connected to my mobile phone anymore. Also to install the Bose 700 on the app was not seamless. It would not detect it at first.. although all seemed to be connected and installed. But I felt that this did not work out.. so I uninstalled everything ..had to resign in.. etc.. then reinstall then it managed to install the headset model.

3. What I still do not like is that each time the audio assistant speaks..( still the case in 2020!) it does it all the time.. it will stop your audio.. this is unacceptable. I have seen other models like the jabra elite that does a voice over.. but this one will cut your audio and speak out the full name of your machine.. like each time there is some connection changes.. One solution the user can do is trip the names of all connected device. But this is unacceptable for a product from Bose. There are solutions, they simply do not think about it.

4. The big minus points are the comfort and design. When you lay down on a pillow the headset will simply fall off your head even how much you compact it around your head. In the train, I lifted my head to check the seat label and the headset would just slip off my head. This is probably due to the large space between your head and the headset. It is not well fit on the head like previous versions. The design and look is SERIOUSLY bad. It looks and feels cheap. The most baffling design is that this thing will not fold. So you cannot put it in small pockets. Also each time it disconnects or connects it will repeat for you the long full name of all the devices connected or disconnected with this aweful broken electronic english and suspend your audio that you were listening. Each notice from the headset suspends your audio.

5. Audio will not work from USB C cable. Will also not work during charging via BT, not even with the AUX cable. So you cannot charge it while listening to audio. This is why people will always end up having an uncharged headset.. because while they use it they cannot charge it.. and they will often forget to charge it when they are not using it. I have a 5 Euro cheap mini BT speaker and it can do that: charge plus play at the same time. So I let you think about that!!

6. Battery life: This is offering like 20 hours.. when others are proposing over 30 hours. I think for a new model they could have done better.

7. Ease of transport: not good. I can easily pack a Sony XM3 in pockets of my bag.. But this one you need a larger surface.

8. There is a manual in the box and it is useless. Very little info and honestly I still do not know how to turn off the headset or the ANC etc..I cannot say for sure where the off button is.. no indication.. and pressing the supposed power button does not turn it off.. the buttons are not labelled.. and the manual has nothing inside it.. things like this.. you do not expect from Bose.. but that is the product.. in 2020 ( reviewed again.)

9 Last but not least, I see there is no option to do music sharing with partner as was possible with the QC 35. Very very dissapointing.

The sony xm4 is taking too much time to be released.. So I think this Bose is now a decent deal at 275 Euros compared to other headsets on the market if you manage to make it work without sound breaking and can deal with all the problems with it. I personally would opt for the Xm3 if it had multipairing. Because of the lack of multipairing on the XM3 I tried the Bose. But I cannot keep it: the sound keeps breaking.. and this is one too many problems with it that the price cannot justify. Am waiting for the xm4 to see if I get multipairing.. ( quite shocking that Sony keeps releasing headsets with no multipairing.) Otherwise I will have to settle with my TT which does multipairing, good ANC and all the rest it does without problems. If you ask me, a TT is a much better value for money option: why? Because it works well: something the Bose cannot do.

This product is not fully developed. I have the buyers remorse.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 30, 2019

Color: Triple BlackVerified Purchase

I have the buyers remorse. After owning two pairs of qc35s and running them both into the ground, I had high hopes for these.

The build quality of these is worse than the 35s. The noise cancelling is the same. The clamp force is much tighter and the squeaking/creaking noise of the cheap feeling plastic is incredibly annoying.

Range is about 2 meters LESS than the 35s and about 10 meters less than my cheap $40 Chinese ANC headphones.

I thought these would be saved by the new voice quality features but I seem to have gotten a dodgy pair. Call audio is worse than a $0.50 mic with duct tape over it. In a last ditch effort to find a solution, resetting the headphones seem to have permenantly bricked the headphones and they no longer power on.

The app is everything you've heard about it. An absolute embarrassment and a frustrating mess.

I lived my QCs so much, I was willing to throw any amount of money at the new set out of brand loyalty. Bose have now lost me as a customer for life. This product is just plain awful.

I'll update my review if my replacements fix the issues I'm having. But I have no faith in Bose to fix their app or fix the hardware issues of which there are quite a few.

These are nowhere near as good as the 35s. Don't make the same mistake that I did.

Gran mejora reduciendo el efecto presion de cabina!

Reviewed in Spain on September 30, 2019

Color: Triple BlackVerified Purchase

Estoy completamente impresionado hasta ahora.

El embalaje es simplista y directo al grano. El caso del NCH 700 es más pequeño de lo que pensaba aunque no se pliegan como el QC35II. El estuche cabe en mi bolsa de trabajo bien. Sin embargo, tengo que decir que no es tan pequeño en general como el caso del QC35II. El estuche NCH 700 tiene una pequeña aleta magnética en su interior que almacena el cable Jack deaudio y el cable USB-C. No incluye adaptador de avión. Gracias Bose por utilizar USB-C con los NCH 700. Lo que queda son manuales y tarjetas de garantía.

La sensación de los NCH 700 es agradable. Es un diseño aerodinámico, cómodo y se ve muy moderno. El peso es un poco más que el QC35II. La calidad de construcción es significativamente superior con el uso de más metales y lo más importante, la comodidad es similar. Quizás le daría una ligera ventaja al QC35II con comodidad debido al menor peso, pero el NCH 700 sigue siendo un auricular muy cómodo. El ajuste de la banda para la cabeza es suave y debe adaptarse a una amplia variedad de tamaños de cabeza bien. Las aberturas de los audífonos son similares al QC35II con las etiquetas izquierda y derecha dentro de los audífonos para facilitar la anotación sobre cómo ponerse los auriculares.

Los controles son geniales y puedo decir que los controles táctiles son muy sensibles e intuitivos. Desliza hacia arriba para aumentar el volumen. Desliza hacia abajo para bajar el volumen. Desliza hacia adelante para la siguiente pista. Desliza hacia atrás para la pista anterior. Toca dos veces para reproducir y pausar. Toque una vez para aceptar y la llamada entrante. Mantenga presionado para rechazar la llamada. Mantenga presionado para ir a un acceso directo predefinido en la aplicación. El acceso directo actual disponible era hacer que el mensaje de voz le avisara de la duración actual de la batería en la que ella le informa el tiempo estimado hasta que la batería se agote. Hay 3 botones físicos en los NCH 700. Los dos a la derecha son responsables del encendido / emparejamiento de Bluetooth y la asistencia de voz / silenciar el micrófono. El de la izquierda es para alternar entre los 3 modos de cancelación de ruido preestablecidos definidos con la aplicación. El auricular derecho aloja el puerto USB-C y el auricular izquierdo alberga el puerto de entrada de audio.

La aplicación proporciona mucho control de funcionalidad. En mi caso tuve que realizar un par de intentos para conectar los Bose cerrando y abriendo la App Bose Music. Puedes desplazarse sobre la marcha a través de los modos de cancelación de ruido / ambiente de 0-10. 0 es como no tener auriculares puestos y 10 estar en su pequeña cámara acústica. Puede iniciar aplicaciones Bose AR y experimentar la realidad aumentada con el NCH 700's. Puedes seleccionar las fuentes que están conectadas y agregar una nueva fuente o eliminar una fuente existente. El NCH 700 puede conectarse por Bluetooth hasta a 2 dispositivos a la vez aunque en mi caso la calidad del audio disminuye significativamente al estar conectado a dos dispositivos, e incluso llega a desconectarse la señal. Puedes configurar su asistente de voz entre Siri, Google Assistant o Alexa. Puede configurar la cantidad de su voz que se escucha durante las llamadas telefónicas o la interacción del asistente de voz. Si está familiarizado con la aplicación Bose Connect de QC35II, es una configuración bastante similar que puede controlar.

El sonido en los NCH 700 es limpio, abierto y equilibrado. Ninguna frecuencia realmente se destaca, por lo que obtienes una representación precisa de tu música. Diría que suenan similares al QC35II pero con un bajo más fuerte. El Sony WH1000Xm3 tiene este falso estigma que suena superior al QC35II, pero eso se debe a que los Sony acentúan las frecuencias bajas que para el oído no entrenado es más emocionante y agradable. Este no es un sonido mejor, es un sonido diferente que no es preciso con el audio de origen. El Bose suena más preciso, más como estar en el estudio y el audio de las voces es más claro. Un sonido plano no sonará emocionante para todos, especialmente aquellos con oídos no entrenados. El sonido es subjetivo en general, por lo que no puede equivocarse con lo que le gusta escuchar. Realmente disfruto el sonido del NCH 700. Es un sonido suave y claro que juega bien con todos los géneros. Si desea muchos graves, busque en otra parte hacia Sony. En la comparativa con Sony WH1000Xm3, la calidad de la llamada con cancelación de ruido es muy superior en los Bose.

La cancelación de ruido es increíblemente buena en los NCH 700. Probablemente el mejor que he experimentado, pero sinceramente, el Sony WH1000Xm3 puso el listón tan alto en términos de cancelación de ruido que el NCH 700 realmente no me sorprende. Creo que son igual de buenos, pero el NCH 700 se lleva el pastel porque no obtengo esos artefactos de distorsión cuando la presión del ANC dentro de los auriculares se ve interrumpida por las vibraciones repentinas en los auriculares que afectan al Sony WH1000XM3. Por ejemplo, esto es causado por estar en un autobús mientras se encuentra en una carretera llena de baches o correr con los auriculares puestos. El modo ambiente es una sensación muy natural en el NCH 700 y es genial poder tener conciencia mientras escucha el audio en situaciones en las que no desea bloquear completamente el mundo. Ojalá tuviera la palma de la mano derecha de Sony sobre la función del audífono donde se activa sin problemas el sonido ambiental y disminuye el volumen de la música para que pueda escuchar rápidamente a alguien o algo y luego, una vez que su mano deja el audífono derecho, todo vuelve a la normalidad.

La razón principal por la que los nuevos NCH 700 son los nuevos reyes de los auriculares ANC es la calidad del micrófono de voz en las llamadas y la interacción con su asistente de voz. Es sorprendente lo clara que se proyecta su voz en la otra línea mientras usa el NCH 700. Estos son geniales para llamadas de conferencia.

En general, el NCH 700 es una buena evolución para la línea de auriculares Bose y estoy seguro de que disfrutarás de ellos. ¡Muy recomendable!

Excellent

Reviewed in France on September 18, 2019

Color: Silver LuxeVerified Purchase

Je vais détailler mon avis en deux parties : une première, succincte, pour ceux qui ont la flemme de lire et une deuxième, plus longue, où je vais détailler un peu plus mon avis sur ce casque.

En résumé
Qualités :
- excellent rendu sonore
- confort remarquable
- très bonne autonomie
- application réactive, facile d'utilisation et amplement suffisante.
- L et R inscrits à l'intérieur des oreillettes.

Défauts :
- son prix
- le réglage de l’arceau, un peu déroutant au début

Pour info, je suis un particulier, j’ai acheté et payé ce casque avec mes propres deniers.
Je ne suis absolument pas subventionné par Bose.

Je me suis d'abord procuré le casque Sony XM3.
J’étais influencé par tous les tests et commentaires que j’ai lu ici et là.
Mon oreille n’est plus toute jeune, j’ai 60 ans, mais je peux aisément comparer deux sources sonores.
J’adore la musique, je suis musicien amateur et j’ai la chance de pouvoir posséder des équipements de haute qualité.
J’ai renvoyé le Sony au bout de 10 jours tellement les aigus paraissent étouffés : j’avais l’impression d’avoir du coton dans les oreilles. Les basses sont extrêmement surchargées au point de faire mal aux oreilles sur certains morceaux...et pourtant je suis bassiste !
J’ai donc commandé ce casque Bose 700.

J’avais peur du résultat, compte-tenu que je possède deux petites enceintes Bluetooth Bose et que j’ai longtemps eu des Bose 901 qui n'étaient pas réputées pour leur fidélité au spectre sonore - Il était inconfortable d’écouter une sonate au piano avec ses enceintes, par contre, le rock et toutes les musiques qui me demandent des graves avaient un rendu extrêmement « flatteur »

Mais là je dois dire que la qualité sonore m’a bluffé.
Les aigus sont là, précis mais pas sibilants, les médiums chaleureux et très agréables pour écouter une voix humaine ou un saxophone et curieusement les basses seraient peut-être un petit peu en retrait mais je pense que c’est juste une comparaison avec le casque Sony.
Nous l'avons essayé à plusieurs, dont mon fils qui a une oreille très affûtée (excellent musicien) et qui n’a que 30 ans ! Je lui ai donc fait comparer les deux casques avec la même musique, deux sources sonores comparables (iPad et iPhone X)
Le résultat est sans appel, le casque américain l’emporte très largement sur le japonais.

Je me demande si les journalistes qui ont essayé ses casques ne sont pas tout simplement achetés par Sony : où ont-ils perçu des aigus brillants ? Ou alors le casque j’ai reçu avait un défaut au niveau de ses transducteurs… ! mais, même en réglant les aigus au maximum sur l’application et au niveau des iPhone / iPad, on ne retrouve absolument pas le confort sonore du Bose.

L’autonomie de 20 heures est amplement suffisante, je ne vois pas l’intérêt d’avoir beaucoup plus.
L’application est simple et claire, elle suffit largement pour l’utilisation du casque, et ne nous encombre pas de réglages totalement inutile comme celle du Sony dont l'équaliseur n'a même pas réussi à compenser les défauts du XM3.
Elle est surtout très rapide à l’ouverture, elle permet une connexion quasiment instantané avec le casque (ou avec d’autres produits de la même marque) quant au défaut de nécessité une inscription pour la faire fonctionner cela me paraît tout relatif… Si vous désirez un total anonymat, jetez votre smartphone ne vous connectez à plus rien du tout !
J’aime beaucoup le jingle d’allumage et d'extinction.
De même la possibilité de se connecter simultanément à deux sources est tout simplement indispensable. Je passe régulièrement de l’iPhone à l’iPad sans devoir me reconnecter. Le Sony est beaucoup moins pratique sur ce plan.
Par contre je ne vois pas du tout l’intérêt de Bose AR, Si encore le rendu était parfait, mais avoir un sont à 360° ou le piano est prépondérant quand on regarde dans sa direction est totalement inexistant quand il se trouve derrière me paraît assez peu réaliste.

La réduction de bruit active : et si on devait la noter je lui mettrai 19/20 : la perfection n’étant pas de ce monde.
Elle est réglable sur 10 niveaux ce qui est presque trop pour moi, mais je dois avouer que son efficacité est absolument bluffante - au même niveau que celle du Sony. On est complètement isolé du monde extérieur, c’est totalement antisocial ! Je ne l’ai pas encore testée en avion ni en train, mais en me plaçant dans une pièce tout simplement avec une autre source sonore (radio, télé…) j’ai l’impression d’être tout seul. Fabuleux.
J’aimerais pouvoir aller tondre la pelouse avec cet engin, mais j’ai vraiment trop peur de l’abîmer…
Ce qui est le plus frappant c’est quand on appelle un correspondant au téléphone dans un endroit bruyant, certes notre voix est un petit peu déformé mais les conversations est tout à fait intelligible et ça c’est fabuleux. Que d’évolution depuis le Sennheiser PCX 450 qui a plus de 9 ans.

Au sujet du confort physique, je n’ai pas eu de casque Bose avant celui-là, mais il m’arrive de le porter 2 à 3 heures d’affilées avec des lunettes, je l’oublie totalement !
C'est pour moi est le plus important.
Les coussinets sont faits de mousse à mémoire de forme (comme sur la plupart des autres casques de ce prix) et le revêtement et du pur plastique : ce qui va entraîner un échauffement quand on se promène, que l’on fait du sport pour que l’on se trouve au soleil.
Idem pour le Sony.
Pour cette raison je l’ai commandé en gris qui reflète beaucoup plus laisse la lumière, et j’espère limitera l’échauffement en extérieur.
Je le trouve quand même moins élégant que le Sony que j’avais commandé en couleur champagne.

Les commandes tactiles sont très réactives, mais je trouve la commande "suivante / précédente" programmée à l’envers de ce que j’aurais fait. Mais je pense qu’avec un peu d’habitude cela ne me posera pas de problème.

Son coffret de rangement, tout noir, et beaucoup moins beau que celui du Sony couleur champagne qui avait une petite allure cérusée. Cependant il propose un petit coffre aimantée où l’on peut mettre les différents cables sans que ceci ne tombent parterre quand on ouvre le coffret à l’envers.

Son prix de 400 €, élevé, me paraît tout de même justifié au regard des prestations offertes.
Que dire alors des casques de très haute fidélité qui se vendent 5000 voir 10 000 €… ! ?
Rappelons-nous qu'en haute-fidélité, comme dans tout le reste, le prix croît de façon exponentielle par rapport à la qualité.
C’est pourquoi les entreprises haut-de-gamme gagnent beaucoup d’argent (marques de voitures allemandes premium, Apple, Bose etc.)

Attention, ce casque n’est pas haute-fidélité, c’est un casque nomade, Bluetooth, qui offre un excellent rendu sonore, sûrement un des meilleurs de cette catégorie, en tout cas qui surclasse très nettement le Sony.

Cuffie Smart niente altro

Reviewed in Italy on September 20, 2019

Color: Triple BlackVerified Purchase

Questa cuffia nn vale 400 euro!lo dico a malincuore essendo un grande estimatore Bose,sono un musicista e ho molti impianti audio Bose Lyfe Stile Sound Touch prodotti fantastici,ma per quanto riguarda le cuffie la Bose si sta perdendo verso il baratro,la Q 35 2 è molto meglio,questa è solo estetica,si sono d’accordo che l’estetica sia importante,la comodità,ma una cuffia si distingue solo per una cosa L’AUDIO,e qui è il punto dolente queste cuffie sono vuote nn hanno sostanza,tenete presente che io nn so Voi ascolto musica ad alta definizione TIDAL Hi Fi,Qobuz qualità Hi Res,nn ci siamo evidentemente Bose sta dando importanza ad altri fattori estetica tecnologia come riduzione del rumore e l’audio?? Dove sta ? Nn ci siamo su questo segmento Bose sta andando completamente indietro e di brutto,forse pensa che le persone siano sorde e si facciano incantare da estetica gradevole,finezza dei materiali ma la componente a mio modesto giudizio più importante sta andando a farsi benedire stiamo parlando poi di 400 euro!! Poi nn capisco perché continuano a nn inserire il codec Aptx sempre indietro ,be credo che capiranno che così nn vanno da nessuna parte,la musica è Audio nn estetica,certo se fossero di pari passo sarebbe il top,Per un uso in movimento,per movimento intendo in viaggio sono ok ma per il resto no.

Total crap (can be improved though)

Reviewed in Germany on July 12, 2019

Color: Triple BlackVerified Purchase

Just received the headphone and after trying for about 2-3 hours of trying to make it work (connecting, disconnecting, removing bluetooth devices, etc), I gave up and started writing this review: it does NOT work, and I keep wondering how can one launch a 400 EURO product and be so stupid not to run a couple of proper consumer tests!
And as a computer scientist, I know what I am talking about: this product is unfinished!!! Especially the software side is so bad and frustrating.
The problem is that there is a stupid Bose app that is supposed to control the headphone settings; the app cannot connect to the headphone, and you have to remove and add again, and again it fails! (I use iOS)
Surprisingly, there are two bluetooth connections to the iPhone (why?!?!); so if you use a music app to stream music, it works... BUT THEN IT STOPS PLAYING AFTER 5-10 SECONDS!!!
I hope the development team reads this: YOU REALLY SUCK! How on earth you thought you can release/launch this piece of *** at this stage!?
Conclusion: I am just going to return this thing, hopefully before I smash it into very small pieces (so that I can at least get my money back!), and watch the Bose team to see when they are gonna update their unfinished software and firmware work!
To everybody else who looks for a great noise cancellation headphone THAT ACTUALLY WORKS, just give "sony wh-1000xm3" a try and enjoy the great product! I am just gonna order one for myself. Waited too long as I thought to first try this Bose new headphone... such a waste of time!

Reasonable Customer

Shocked and disappointed

Reviewed in Canada on August 20, 2019

Color: Triple BlackVerified Purchase

I had read all the reviews on Amazon that said i) the product and app was glitchy, ii) that you had to sign-up for an app interface before you could even activate the product, and iii) that despite being forced to install an app and sign up for an account, you still didn't have the ability to change equalizer settings.

However, I went on the reputation of Bose as a company and assumed that this large cross-section of amazon shoppers were just being unreasonable. As it turns out, they're all right and Bose should be ashamed of itself for tarnishing its reputation with such an awful product with so many connectivity issues. It literally took me less than 3 days of minimal use to determine that this product did not live up to its price point. And I wasn't going to wait around and hope that Bose corrected the connectivity issues that I was experiencing. The final nail in the coffin was that my partner at the same time had bought AirPods, and if Apple can achieve such seamless and effortless connectivity, then so should Bose. So, its on its way back to Amazon.

In terms of the details of the connectivity issues, here are some examples. When I would first turn it on, it recited the battery life that it had the last time it was shutdown, despite the fact that it had been fully charged. Another example is that when I tried to connect on the app itself, to manipulate the headphone's settings, it often had a hard time connecting, despite the fact that the bluetooth was connected to my phones and I was able to hear music on it. Second or third attempts at having the app recognize the headphones would cause it to unpair, and i'd have to either turn the headphones on and off again, or go back to the bluetooth menu to reconnect it.

So in summary, I am shocked and disappointed with just how bad the interface really was.

Besser die etwas älteren QC35 kaufen

Reviewed in Germany on July 14, 2019

Color: Triple BlackVerified Purchase

Ich fasse mich kurz:
Noise-Canceling:
ist fantastisch, wäre da nicht ein Problem: Windunterdrückung. Die Kopfhörer sind dazu nicht im Stande und laut Bose-Support (Telefonisch / Forum) ist das Problem bekannt, es gibt jedoch weder eine Lösung noch eine Zusage, ob das Problem überhaupt gelöst werden kann. Bei den QC35 besteht dieses Problem nicht, NC einfach auf die mittelere Stufe stellen und Windgeräusche werden erfolgreich unterdrückt.
Soundqualität:
Ich habe keine riesigen Unterschiede zum QC35 festgestellt, habe jedoch auch kein Equipment, um entsprechende Messungen für Frequenzverhalten etc. durchzuführen. Höre ich einen Unterschied, der über 100€ Differenz zum QC rechtfertigt? Auf keinen Fall.
Telefonqualität:
Ausgezeichnet, wäre da nicht ein Problem: Wenn man den Kopf 10 Minuten nicht bewegt, schaltet sich das Headphone einfach ab und es gibt keine Möglichkeit, diese Energiesparfunktion abzustellen. Ein weiterer Nagel in den Sarg.
Konfiguration via App und Bedienung:
Absolute Katastrophe, hier werden Käufer zu Beta-Testern. Es gibt hier viele einzelne Punkte, die aufgezählt werden könnten, ein Blick ins Forum bei Bose für diejenigen, die mehr wissen wollen. Das wichtigste: Es ist nicht nachvollziehbar, weshalb die App ständig die Verbindung zu den Kopfhörern verliert und eine Registrierung notwendig ist. Sprachansagen bei der Betätigung der Knöpfe sind notwendig, um zu vermitteln, was man gerade genau getan hat, jedoch werden diese Ansagen nicht überblendet, sondern es werden alle anderen Signale gemuted. Wenn ich also in einem Call das Noise Canceling verstelle, so höre ich meine Gesprächspartner für diese Zeit nicht.
Passform:
Sicherlich subjektiv darum nur als Nebenpunkt erwähnt, bei mir rutschen die Kopfhörer auf dem Kopf und durch die geringere Tiefe der Ohrmusheln wird das Tragen nach 3-4h unerträglich. Absolute Katastrophe.
Zusammengefasst:
Viele tolle Ideen, die aber teilweise nicht zu Ende gedacht wurden, wie beispielsweise die Belegung der vorhandenen Knöpfe oder die Integration von Sensorik zur Bewegungserfassung. Oh cool, wir können jetzt tracken, wie der Kunde seinen Kopf bewegt. Wozu könnte man das nutzen... hmmm. Ah ja. Lass uns doch einen Energiesparmodus integrieren, der anspringt, wenn der Kunde seinen Kopf nicht mehr bewegt und das ganze total unauffällig integrieren....
Die Kopfhörer sind in diesem Zustand nicht mal den Preis der QC 35 wert.
