    The need to sign in to use the Bose app with these headphones really put me off. One shouldn't need to sign in to change the headphone settings!

        The app apparently asks for permission to use the microphone. That's disturbing.

      Agreed. And the app sucks. It is portrait only, at least on Android.

      If your tablet is in a keyboard cover, you're only using it in landscape.

      It also automatically updates the firmware. If Bose borks the ANC like they did the QC35 IIs, the update will be unavoidable.

      • Doovik on 04/03/2020 - 19:17

        Can avoid the updates but not opening the app in ages and only opening it when your headphones are on low batter. Stopped updating my QC35 since I found out the ANC issue.

  • Stigasaurus on 26/02/2020 - 22:46

    Cheapest so far but enough to warrant an upgrade over the qc35s? Probably not.

    • teereb on 27/02/2020 - 00:06
      +1

      IMO these have better sound for music, but the phone call and bluetooth side of things don't compare to the qc35 2.

      I'm not a fan of bose headphones, they are good, but I prefer others. As for noise cancelling, as ozb goes, the bose or sony really are the best bang for buck, but the 700's still have some firmware updates to sort out bluetooth niggles and phone call quality.

      • lostn on 27/02/2020 - 00:32

        EDIT: I previously said that the 700 had good mic quality and the QC 35 II sounded bad. I corrected myself below. Both have bad quality mics.

        I think it's just the nature of wireless headphones.

        • eggaz on 27/02/2020 - 09:31

          Apparently the Galaxy buds+ have great mics and excellent call quality? Not all bad though.

      • aoeueoa on 27/02/2020 - 06:49

        I can be in my gym with quite loud music pumping and these will cut out all of that and only pickup my voice. They're definitely pretty good for that stuff.

        My only gripe with these is you can't fold them the same as the 35, less compact. Everything else is much better.

        • pulpfiction on 27/02/2020 - 07:16
          +1

          100% disagree. The mic audio quality is incredible compared to most headphone, and IMHO better than the built in phone mic (Pixel 4XL… so maybe that's not saying much).

          Maybe some of the Jabra range contends, but not on ANC.

          Here's a good review showcasing it's mic capability https://youtu.be/bK3GMtGeT_U

            +1

            @pulpfiction: i thought the mic quality was really good too, until I realized that being in close proximity to my phone meant the phone was picking up my voice also. When I stepped away from the phone and recorded using the 700's mics only, I was so soft I could barely hear it. In a loud environment it would be impossible.

            Could you give this a try so I know it's not just me?

            • aoeueoa on 27/02/2020 - 10:15

              @lostn: Voice recording apps.will go through the phone mic . It only goes through headphone when you're in a call. Is this the cause of the issue ?

                I don't know, but if that's the case, it shouldn't have picked me up at all because I was quite far from the phone. It does mean more experimenting though.

            • pulpfiction on 27/02/2020 - 10:22

              @lostn: Yep, what @aoeueoa said. Maybe there is an app for that (wouldn't surprise me if in the video he uses a BT audio recoding device rather than a phone).

      Yeah bought one the missus as she got me the 35's. The touch controls on the 700 are a little finicky. Aesthetically they look better than the 35s, but not being able to fold it is definitely noticeable.

    • Hinee on 27/02/2020 - 13:26

      I've only listened to these at the airport but I thought they added a whole extra layer of warmth to music over my QC35s. Depending on your disposable income and want for quality sound they are a good upgrade IMO.

    How do those compare with Sony’s WH-1000XM3 ?

    • lostn on 27/02/2020 - 00:37
      +5

      On par. But XM3 is better value.

      There are some pros and cons to each. XM3 has better battery life (30 hours vs 20 with ANC on) and the app is a lot better. The 700 has better call quality. ANC is a wash. Both are very very good.

      The touch pad is bigger on the XM3. The 700's band splits the ear cup in half, and you only get half the cup as a touch pad. The band also feels flimsy (I have not stress tested it though). It will also scratch.

      I love my 700, but the price difference makes it hard to recommend. It doesn't include an airline adapter either, so that's another thing you have to buy if you don't own one.

        Pro-tip: next time you fly Qantas, grab a set of their headphones. It has an adaptor you can unplug and keep

        • wetwork on 03/03/2020 - 17:38

          Yep good tip - I have acquired several myself - but they aren't gold plated professional extended headroom standard (or some such blah blah drivel that sells gold plated HDMIs and monster-cable), so keep them hidden lest some fellow traveller thinks I have a low disposible income.

      • Tommome on 27/02/2020 - 00:46
        +1

        Appreciate that information. Will stick with XM3s.

        • lostn on 27/02/2020 - 01:17

          A correction. I said that the 700 has better call quality. I just went and tested it again.

          I believed it had good call quality but in my experiment I found that the device's mic was picking up some of my voice. When I walked away from the device to record so that my voice was being picked up entirely by the headphones, my voice was very soft. And this was in a quiet environment.

          Beware any call quality tests on youtube. It's possible their phone was picking up some of their voice, and what you hear in their test wasn't coming entirely out of the headphone's mic.

          That does not mean the XM3 has good mic quality though. It's just as bad or worse.

          • Droz on 04/03/2020 - 20:25

            @lostn: I know this was a long time ago now, but I'm confused - how was your phone picking up your voice and picking it up through the headphone mic at the same time? Phones only allow one input at a time, so you're either using your headphone mic, or your phone mic?

            Have I misread this?

            • lostn on 04/03/2020 - 22:37

              @Droz: This is simply untrue. During a phone call, it will pick up audio from both mics. At least mine does.

              Test this yourself by calling someone's answering machine with a headset, speak while moving the phone mic close to your mouth and then away again, back and forth. You will notice your own voice becoming softer as the phone is more distant from you and louder as you bring it closer.

              I just tested it right now to make sure I'm not mistaken.

              • Droz on 13/03/2020 - 12:07

                @lostn: Something else is happening in this scenario, though I'm not entirely sure what - Phones often use their other mics to isolate particular sounds that coming from where the external phone mic is supposed to be, and they cancel those sounds.

                However, with bluetooth headphones, the mic on the headphones becomes the source.

                Imagine if you left a phone on a table near a child whilst the child is talking, and you're taking a call through the headset about 5 metres away. The other party does not hear the child through the phone's microphone, because you've set the input as the bluetooth headphones mic. If they can hear the child, it's because the child's voice is carrying into the generally shitty mics on the bluetooth headphones - i.e. I've got XM2s and the mic captures every single sound around me in a 360 pattern.

                If you had your phone in your pocket and were taking a call, you'd be giving the other person the rustling noises from your pocket - you select the input on the phone screen, and the phone mic does not send audio to the party you're calling if it's not the selected source for audio for the calling application.

                You're simply drawing the wrong conclusion from your test. I don't deny that it's getting softer and louder, but it's going to be due to different reasons than you've assumed.

                • lostn on 13/03/2020 - 15:30

                  @Droz: I don't know. I would presume your phone isolates pocket ruffling as noise, like the noise of people around you?

                  I won't claim to know exactly what's going on here, but there is definitely a difference when moving the phone around. At least when I test it.

        However, about a week later there was a 12% deal on. If you bought it that time, you would have got 12% of the pre-GST portion of $545.

  • dealsucker on 27/02/2020 - 14:22

    Great price for a great pair of headphones. Be aware though that these are nowhere near as comfortable as the QC35II. They clamp down too hard but as always YMMV. I got headaches after wearing them for more than 30 mins and had to sell them off after a month or so of using them. The sound quality and noise cancellation were top class though.

    • jabbairc on 27/02/2020 - 15:04

      100% agree and YMMV depending on ear shape too!

      I noticed these touch my ears whereas QC35 II did not at all.

  • openyourmind on 27/02/2020 - 17:15

    How are these for sound? Are they better than a Sony or Sennheiser pair at similar price point?

    • SUD26 on 27/02/2020 - 18:16

      Sound is bit subjective based on 1s liking :)
      This are good but surely overpriced when compared to QC35 or MX3(both of which can be purchased around $300~310)

    Sony WH-1000XM3 is still better in terms of noise cancelling, sound quality and value for money. Bose was just playing catch-up with this model, adding the touchpad on the side and the USB-C port.
