Sound

Bose does not make use of a lot of physical buttons on their headphones instead, relying on gesture controls to handle playback and calls. The right earcup is a touchscreen that detects swipes and taps from your index finger. A double-tap plays or pauses music, while tapping and holding will answer calls or block them. A single tap can skip tracks backwards or forwards and a swipe upwards will increase or decrease the volume.

After a few hours of practice, you'll be able navigate the headphones using your fingers, without touching your device.

Noise Cancellation

Bose headphones are well-known for their exceptional active noise cancellation. However some of the most recent models have had problems. The QC35 IIs, for instance were affected by an update to the firmware that slowed their ANC performance. Even when they're not impacted by this particular issue, Bose headphones can leak sound loudly.

That's why we were pleased to see that the latest QC700s have significantly improved noise isolation. They still haven't matched the ANC of Sony's 1000X series headphones however they're close enough that you'll likely be happy with their performance.

Bose's CustomTune system is able to calibrate the noise-canceling abilities of the QC700s to your ears. The QC700s emit a slight sound when the microphone inside each earcup is sealed properly. When that happens, they create a virtual sound-rejection beam in order to block out background noise. They also have another set of six microphones that enhance your voice when you're on a phone call or interacting with a digital assistant.

This combination of sensors and microphones is very effective, and the QC700s have one of the top active noise cancellation available. You can adjust their ANC by using the Bose Headphones app, and you'll also have three preset ANC levels accessible via an programmable physical button on the left ear cup.

Despite having fewer buttons, the 700s' touch-screen controls work quite when you get hang of them. Double-taps allow music to stop and play while swipes regulate volume. The right earcup features a power/pairing button and a digital assistant button, and a double tap on the front of the headset also can be used to reject or answer an incoming call.

The touch points on the ear cups can also detect swipes and taps. However, we found that this was often done accidentally, so it took time to build muscle memory for the location of each feature. The headset is designed with a a slightly raised, slim design that allows it to be comfortable to wear all day long. The ear cups and ear cups themselves are padded with soft fabric for a comfortable fit.

Controls

The Bose NCH700 headphones are perfect for those who wish to limit the number of buttons. Its capacitive touch sensors allow you to control music, calls and more with just swipes and taps on earcup surface. You can also access Google Assistant or Alexa, and the controls function well once you've become accustomed to the controls.

The headband is made of stainless steel and is soft to touch. The earcups can be adjusted by sliding them up and down a steel pole which runs along the length of the headphones. This is a nice feature, as it feels more natural compared to the hinged mechanism on many headsets, and is easy to achieve the perfect fit.

The noise cancellation of these headphones is great, with a customizable level of transparency so you can hear the sounds around you. You can also activate the conversation mode, which allows you to talk without having to take off your headphones. The volume on these Bose headphones is also fantastic, able to ramp up and down smoothly like the sound of a large analogue volume knob.

These Bose headphones are different in a variety of ways. SimpleSync technology is one of the features that makes these Bose headphones distinct. It can be connected to a Bose Smart Soundbar, or Smart Speaker in order to play audio from one source. Multi-device connectivity lets you connect two devices at once and switch between them when required. Additionally, they have an inbuilt status light that displays whether the headset is powered on or connected to Bluetooth.

You can easily change settings for these headphones by using the Bose Connect app. Once the app has been installed, you can use the Power/Bluetooth buttons to play or pausing audio. You can also move your finger upwards and downwards to adjust the volume, or swipe back or forward to skip tracks. A double-tap on the headset stops or plays audio, and an extended press answers or rejects incoming calls.

The app can be used to control other Bose devices, change EQ settings and check the battery life. You can also connect the headphones to a different device, and switch between them. This is an excellent feature for those who commute.
