The new Bose Sport Earbuds Truly Wireless have a smaller, sleeker design than the QuietComfort buds and have a better microphone to make calls. They are also sweat-proof and come with a bag for charging.

Active Noise Cancellation

The Bose QuietComfort line is known for its outstanding noise cancellation however, the company also makes plenty of high-quality headphones and earbuds which don't need or offer it. The products typically have a premium price point and are made of premium materials but they're also light, sweat-resistant and comfortable enough to last for long listening sessions.

The 700s flagship model is a wonderful example. They come with an upgraded eight-microphone system (six to cancel sound, and two for picking up voices) and 11 customizable ANC modes that let you hear the world around you or block it out completely. They also have a "Conversation Mode" button that allows you to temporarily pause your music in order to make a call or make a quick announcement.

Another great feature is the Bose TruSleeve, a removable cover that wraps around your neck and rests on the upper ear for additional sound reduction when you're out and about. It's available for all QuietComfort models and can be customized using the app to meet your ears and your lifestyle.

In comparison to our top pick which is the Sony WH-1000XM5, headphones wireless sony 700s have much better quality microphones for phone calls. This makes them an excellent choice for people who take calls frequently and want to be heard clearly while moving around.

The QuietComfort45 headphones from Bose are Bose's best-sounding wireless over-ear headphone. They use Bluetooth 5.1 to provide multi-point pairing, with the USB-C port for charging on the bottom of one cup. They also include an audio cable with a 3.5mm plug at the other end for wired listening, and have an ANC button on the left earcup. The app lets you set the ANC at three different levels and turn on the hear-through feature for ambient noises.

The headphones are light and designed to be worn for long periods of time. They come with soft cushions that feel comfortable on the ears. The sound is vibrant and bright, with well-controlled bass response. The treble isn't as clear as the top-rated models like the Sony WH-1000XM4 and Jabra Elite 85H, but it's adequate for most music genres.

They also have an excellent microphone for hands-free phone calls and also a voice assistant that does a great job of separating your speech from background noise when you answer questions. Bose Connect apps and Bose Music allow you to alter audio settings and customize EQ. The Bose voice, which tells you about battery status and if you're connected, sounds somewhat robotic, in comparison to the more natural voices found on the Sony and Jabra models.

Comfort

Comfort is among Bose's strengths, whether you're using an over - or on-ear headphone. Bose's headphones are typically exquisitely padded without being tight on the head, and they come with a an incredibly balanced sound quality that allows them to be used with most genres.

This allows for flexibility and ensures they seal around your ear.

The Bose QC45s impressed us by their noise cancellation and audio quality. The sound is rich and detailed, with clear mids and crisp highs. The headphones have an even mid-range response, so voices are reproduced accurately. The only downside to these headphones is that they do not support the most recent Bluetooth codes, like aptX Adaptive and LDAC, which allows for lossless playback.

You'll find an electronic touch panel on the right earcup, which can be used to swipe or tap your finger. Tap twice to play or stop, swipe up to raise the volume, then down to lower it, and forward to skip tracks. A single-tap answers calls, and a double-tap blocks an calls that are incoming.

Another feature of the 700s is a motion sensor that shuts down your headphones after a certain amount of inactivity.

Design

Their sound is usually well-balanced and flexible enough to work across genres without much adjustment. They are also very lightweight and sturdy. This makes them a great option to take on trips.

Bose headphones are known for their noise cancellation. The NCH 700s come with 10 different levels of noise cancelling, and even at the highest level, it's pretty impressive. The microphones are also top-quality, with six of the eight microphones tucked inside of the headband helping to isolate voices from background noise. Two of the microphones serve as noise-rejection sensor to reduce background hiss and echo during calls.

In contrast to their rivals, Bose headphones tend to have a minimalist design with only a handful of buttons on the headband. The left side of the cup has an adjustable noise-cancellation button as well as switches for power/Bluetooth as well as launching digital assistants. There's also a capacitive touch panel on the right cup that lets you play or pause music, skip tracks, and adjust volume using simple gestures.

Bose's headphones are well-suited to use on the move as the majority of over and on-ear models providing ample padding for a snug fit.
