Bose is renowned for its noise cancellation technology, which helps block out the rumble of airplane engines as well as other sounds. It also produces a range premium wireless headphones.

The new Bose Sport Earbuds Truly Wireless are slimmer and more sleek than the QuietComfort buds, and have superior microphones for calls. They're also sweat-proof and come with an charging case.

Active Noise Cancellation

The Bose QuietComfort line is known for its outstanding noise cancellation however, the company also offers a wide selection of high-quality headphones and earbuds that don't need or offer it. Its products typically occupy an expensive price and use premium materials, but they're also lightweight, sweat-resistant and comfortable enough to last for long listening sessions.

The flagship 700s are an excellent example of this. They come with an upgraded eight-microphone system (six for cancelling sound, and two for picking up voices) and 11 custom ANC modes that allow you to listen to the world, or block it completely. They also have a "Conversation Mode", which allows you to temporarily pause the music in order to make an announcement or make a call.

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

Comparing to our top pick, the Sony WH-1000XM5, the 700s have a superior Bose quality microphones for phone calls. This makes them a great option for those who regularly make calls and want to be heard clearly while on the go.

The headphones can be connected to your mobile device with Bluetooth 4.2, and Bose’s proprietary A2DP protocol. They support aptX Adaptive, aptX HD and are ideal for audiophiles with devices that support the higher-quality wireless codes. Bose comes with a 2.5mm to 3.5mm cable for wired listening. They're optimized for Google Assistant and Alexa. The headphones have batteries that last for as long as 20 hours, and you'll also get fast, easy charging from the USB-C port on the right earcup.

Sound Quality

Bose is renowned for its noise cancellation technology, which can effectively block out office chatter or sound of plane engines. But the brand also has earbuds and headphones that have good sound quality, too. They're all compatible with the free Bose Connect or Bose Music app (older models) and offer a variety of features like audio settings and battery life monitoring, control options that can be customized and listening mode selection. They are also platform-neutral, working with Apple, Android, and Windows devices.

The QuietComfort 45 headphones from Bose are the most immersive wireless over-ear headphone. They use Bluetooth 5.1 to allow multi-point pairing, and also the USB-C port for charging on the bottom of the cup. They also have the cable that has an 3.5mm plug on the other end for wired listening. They also have an ANC button on the left earcup. You can adjust the ANC to three levels via the app and also turn on hear-through modes to help with ambient sounds.

The headphones are lightweight and designed to be worn for long periods. They feature soft cushions which are comfortable for the ears. The sound is vibrant and bright and has an impressive bass response that is well-controlled. The treble isn't as crisp as you'd get from top-rated rivals such as the Sony WH1000XM4 and Jabra Elite 85H, but still adequate for most music genres.

The Bose Connect and Bose Music apps let you alter the audio settings as well as alter the EQ. They come with a fantastic microphone for hands-free calls, as well as a voice assistant that is effective in getting rid of background noise from your voice when answering questions. Bose Connect apps and Bose Music allow you to adjust audio settings and customize EQ. However, we've noticed the Bose voice that provides information like battery status and whether you're connected is a bit robotic, in contrast to the more natural voices of the Sony and Jabra models.

Comfort

Bose headphones are comfortable, whether they're over-ear or on the go. Bose's headphones are typically well-padded and not too tight on the head. They also come with a balanced sound profile, making them suitable for a broad variety of genres. If you're looking to adjust the sound, you'll discover that a lot of Bose headphones include a companion app with an EQ graph that helps you fine-tune your music.

The Bose QuietComfort45 wireless over-ear headphones have a flexible headband, plush earpads, and a soft and flexible earband. They are the most comfortable headphones that we've tested. They're extremely lightweight and sweat-proof and you can listen for hours without feeling any discomfort. The earcups swivel upon the plastic stems that extend from the headband, which gives you some flexibility and ensures that they fit around your ears.

The Bose QC45s impressed us with their noise cancellation and audio quality. The sound is rich and detailed, with a punchy bass, clear mids and clear highs. The headphones also have a neutral midrange response, which means that voices reproduce well. The only drawback is that they do not support the latest Bluetooth codecs like aptX Adaptive or LDAC which allows lossless playback.

The Bose Sport Earbuds have a slimmer, more elegant design than the QuietComfort Earbuds that are the company's flagship product. They are great for working out and running. They provide up to five-hour battery life, which is enough to last through most workout sessions. The buds come with an inbuilt microphone and are waterproof. You can control the buds using the remote included or with the companion app. The app lets you modify settings for Bose Aware Mode and ANC.

Controls

The 700s do not feature physical controls for the ear cups unlike most of Bose's headphones. Instead there's a touch panel on the front of the right ear cup that detects finger taps and swipes. Tap twice to play/pause, swipe up and down to adjust the volume and forward to skip tracks. A single tap can answer calls, while the double tap will reject any call that comes in.

The headset also lets users to switch on the mode of "aware," which enables some sort of a view of your surroundings. It's a great feature for anyone who wants to be aware of their environment while listening to music or making phone calls.

A motion detector shuts off your headphones after inactivity. This is a fantastic feature for those who are easily distracted or forget to turn off their headphones. You can change the Auto-Off timer settings on your Bose 700 headphones in the Bose Connect app.

The app lets you alter the features of the headphones including audio settings, noise cancelling levels and voice prompt languages. You can also download updates for your Bose headsets. The app might ask you to share your personal information, but this is normal. It's also where you'll define your Bluetooth connection preferences, and it has a helpful battery reading function that will let you know how much charge is left in your headphones. You can download the free Bose Connect app from your iOS device's App Store or Google Play. The app requires that your smartphone or tablet be connected via bluetooth headphones. Once connected, you can choose an option to create a profile and find your headset.

Design

Bose headphones are known for their comfort and ability to shield the listener from ambient noise. Their sound is usually well-balanced and able to function across genres without much adjustment. They are also extremely lightweight and robust. This makes them a great choice for traveling.

Bose headphones are renowned for their noise cancellation. The NCH 700s have 10 adjustable levels of noise cancellation and even at maximum it's pretty impressive. The microphones are also top-quality with six of the eight microphones placed inside the headband to help isolate the voice from background noise. Two of the microphones function as noise-rejection sensors to reduce background hiss and echo during calls.

In contrast to their rivals, Bose headphones tend to have a minimalist design with just a few buttons on the headband. The left side of the cup has an adjustable noise-cancellation button, while the right has toggles for power/Bluetooth and to launch digital assistants. On the right side of the cup there's a touchscreen that lets you play/pause music, change tracks, and adjust volume with simple gestures.

Bose's headphones are well-suited to use on the move, with most over - and on-ear models offering ample padding to ensure an ideal fit. They're also extremely light and portable making them an excellent option for traveling. Bose's wireless headphones with best noise cancelling can't block out as much sound as some of their competitors. This shouldn't be an issue for everyone users, especially as Bose also offers dedicated active noise cancelling earbuds designed for exercise (like the QuietComfort Earbuds II Truly Wireless). This lets you monitor your surroundings while still enjoying the ease of listening to your favorite music.
