There’s no question that the 700 is the more skilled headphone of the two models. Cleaner and better balanced with a more natural sound overall, the 700 is hard to beat. It’s also a more versatile choice for folks who listen across a variety of genres.

Bose's new QC35 II headphones are similar to last year's QC35, with a few added perks.

The headsets slide forward when you lean forward or fall off all together when you bend over.. It would be nice if Bose made replacement ear pads for down the road. Bose should improve on their Bluetooth connection to keep it from cutting out. Otherwise they have that good old bose sound.

I have edit suites that are my responsibility to maintain. The suites are far from being noise isolated. With air conditioner noise and Air handlers on the other side of the wall, mixing audio can become guesswork. This is the second pair of these I have purchased for our editors.

I liked my headphones, however they cannot be that far from your phone if on bluetooth like not to far at all really. On some songs like if your phone is on youtube playlist or google music and songs change you cannot play music loud one of my ears have started sounding like static and nothing more...

I received these in December and I was traveling in January and used them on the plane. The noise cancellation was great. I really enjoyed absolute silence while wearing these. The cushion pads were comfortable as I never felt my ears hurt after over 2 hours of continuous wear at one point.

The headphones are very nice, the ANC is AWESOME! I thought they'd be louder in volume, but I do suffer hearing loss. These are my first pair of ANC headphones, so nothing to compare to. The sound quality is great, from what I can hear. I would purchase again!!

I bought these for work not only because of the nose canceling feature but also because I have to wear these all day to review animation and they are so comfortable. I use them with a cord for my work computer but wireless for my cell phone. They work great!

I bought these for my husband because he travels all of the time. He said they are excellent, in fact to hear any over the air comments by pilots &/or stewards he must take them off his ears. He also loves the Bluetooth connected to his devices. Easy to use.

I was very skeptical about over the ear headphones but I'm very happy with these Bose headphones. They provide great sound and are very comfortable. Most exterior sound is blocked so you can concentrate on listening.

"These are terrific. Easy to set up and use. Very comfortable. Does not completely block ALL noise, but i use them at work in an `office of the future¿ setting where they effectively dull the loud chatter of colleagues. " Show More

The one drawback I have is that the wifi ability is seriously limited in distance - like one room away and it is unreliable. For the money, this should be much better. Nevertheless, I live in an urban environment filled with traffic, barking dogs, and home improvement neighbors running saws and...
