In May 2019, Bose brought a new generation of head-mounted active noise canceling headphones, the Bose 700, for $2,999. The Bose 700’s new design gives users a different sense of wearing, and there are some changes in the control interaction of the headphones.
Besides, the Bose 700 has a strong noise cancellation and good sound performance, and is a denoising headset that is very worthwhile for headphones users and music lovers.
Now, the Bose 700 wireless noise canceling headphones have launched the new “Iron Platinum” new color, which is available worldwide. The new color scheme features white earmuffs and an integrated design of gold beams that give the look and feel of the entire look. Bose also hopes to show users a more elegant side of their design through the new color scheme.
New design, new comfort
Bose, who used to prefer dark color, went this way and used the finest white gold.
Bose 700 with a white gold color, the white part is matte, giving a white texture like a matte rock. Bose also added champagne gold to the entire head beam, highlighting the metal feel of the headphones. This can bring some visual embellishment to the white headphones, and also bring some high-end taste through the metal.
In the head beam design section, the protein cortex buffer wraps the part of the earphone and head contact. This part is basically invisible except for the metal frame. The head beam extends all the way to the earmuff shell. Bose has a chute design at the joint between the top beam and the earmuff. There is no external fixing structure on the chute, it looks like the head beam is placed directly on the chute. . Compared with the traditional slider structure, the Bose 700 has a stronger sense of design and technology, which can also give users more freshness.
In addition, this design reduces the number of visible buttons and puts the main function control on the touch panel of the right earmuff, further enhancing the overall design of the appearance.
In terms of wearing, the Bose 700 meets the standards of the flagship head-mounted noise canceling headphones.
The head beam material is more elastic, and it has a stronger cushioning feeling after being worn, which can reduce the burden of the top pressure on the wearing, and does not have the feeling of indenting. In addition, Bose also chooses easy to clean and more elastic. Protein leather earmuffs, earmuffs are more ear-friendly and comfort is improved.
Achieve complete noise cancellation in the world
Denoising is still the core selling point of the Bose 700.
First of all, the Bose 700 supports Level 11 controllable noise cancellation for 0-10 levels. Users can adjust it with the Bose music app, or preset any commonly used noise reduction level for 3 files. Short press the button on the left side of the headset. , quickly switch the desired level of noise reduction.

When the noise canceling mode is turned off, the earphones of the Bose 700 can physically block some noise. After the noise canceling function is turned on, there will be a simple transition effect process, allowing the user to slowly enter the quiet state without obvious abrupt feeling.
When the noise cancellation level is set to 0, it is not a simple turn-off of the noise canceling function. At this time, the user does not need to take off the headphones, but also can hear the outside world.
When the noise reduction level of the headphones is set to 5, the Bose 700 can also block the sound of a part of the keyboard in the office environment, and the noise generated by the fan is also reduced. Although it is impossible to completely eliminate the communication sound between colleagues and the sound of a mechanical keyboard, it is sufficient to create a quiet working environment for the user.
It is worth mentioning that the Bose 700 also has outstanding noise control capabilities. The noise floor generated in the noise canceling mode is much less, and basically does not affect the use. Even the noise cancellation effectSwitching from level 5 to level 10, the noise floor will not change significantly, and the transition effect will be gradually enhanced when switching, and the user can quickly adapt to the switching of the noise cancellation effect.
Bose 700 also achieved full noise cancellation when the noise cancellation effect was increased to the highest level of 10.
To test the noise reduction of the Bose 700, we used headphones to take the subway, bus and airplane. In the subway and bus, the Bose 700 has actually been adjusted to 7-8 level to meet the demand. After all, in this environment, users need to pay attention to the environment around them, and the noise generated by the bus and subway is not too strong, 7-8 is enough.
When flying, the Bose 700 in the 10-level noise canceling mode can eliminate most of the engine noise. Users want to listen to music and watch videos in this environment, and do not need to open too much volume. With the softer earmuffs and headgear buffer belt, it is no problem to want to sleep with the Bose 700 on the plane.
Know that this time we deliberately chose to sit close to the aircraft engine. In this position, Bose 700 alsoCan effectively reduce the impact of noise, the volume of my listening song can also be controlled at the level used in the office, it seems that the Bose 700’s noise cancellation effect is really good, really can achieve the goal of noise reduction.
“Two-way noise reduction”, I said it is light, you can hear it clearly
For noise canceling headphones, listening to noise is only the first step.
After all, when the headset is connected to the phone, it also needs to meet the needs of voice calls. Therefore, only the sense of noise is not enough. The earphones are a high-frequency demand of many mobile phone users. This time, the Bose 700 is also specially optimized in this respect.
This adaptive 4 microphone elimination system divides the four microphones into separate headphones. When the user answers the call using the Bose 700, the four microphones will start working. According to Bose’s official explanation, when four microphones work together, they can generate beamforming signals through the microphone array to collect user sounds and reduce other interference sounds, while the other side generates suppression signals through another set of microphone arrays, further eliminating The remaining ambient noise.
This system can be adaptively processed based on the user’s location, direction and environment. Even in noisy environments, the sounds received and emitted by the user are better than ever. Through this design, the user does not need to rely too much onThe microphone on the earphone does not need to be switched to the microphone on the phone to achieve a clear call.
We also tried to call another colleague at the airport. I don’t have to speak loudly, he can also hear clearly. The so-called “two-way noise reduction” means not only deactivating yourself, but also denoising the other party during a voice call. If the noise is high in the airport, the Bose 700 will have no problem talking in the daily environment.
Easy connection and manipulation
The main playback control functions of the headphones are based on touch.
The touch panel of the Bose 700 is mainly concentrated on the right ear cup of the earphone and the side with the Bose Logo. Double-click the touch to play and pause the music, and can also answer directly when there is an incoming call.
Slide up and down to control the volume of the headphones, and slide left and right to switch music. The volume playback can be linked with the mobile phone. After the mobile phone raises the volume, the earphone can continue to increase the volume, and it is convenient if it is adjusted while traveling.
This kind of operation is really intimate for commuters.
After all, when people walk, the handling accuracy will drop. If you want users to look for physical buttons on the headset at this time, it is a hassle. Moreover, in order for the user to remember the function of each button and the complicated single-button manipulation gesture, the user’s learning cost will also be improved a lot, which is not convenient for the person who pursues simplicity.
This kind of user-friendly design, users only need to remember to slide up and down to adjust the volume, slide left and right to control playback, then you can achieve fast operation when walking. Moreover, the Bose 700’s response is also very sensitive, as long as the touch action is not dragged, it can basically be identified, greatly reducing the need for operational accuracy. This design is really smart.
In addition to the main operating mode of touch, other functions can be controlled through the “Bose Music” app. Such as noise reduction level switching, common noise cancellation level presets, software updates, etc. Other features are still being further refined.
Comprehensively improved sound performance
In terms of connection support, Bose 700 and QC 35 II only support SBC and AAC wireless transmission coding, which can meet the needs of iOS devices.
The sound improvement, Bose 700 still uses Bose’s most commonly used dynamic EQ sound quality technology, the tuning of the headphones is also in line with Bose Sound’s standard, highlighting the low frequency performance while ensuring the clarity, giving the user a balanced listening Sense of performance.
In terms of listening, the sound of the Bose 700 is very stable, and the tri-band performance is much more balanced than before. The overall listening feeling is also more solid. In the vocal processing, Bose 700’s performance is not bad, restore natural and will not have a stiff dry feeling. In addition, the sound thickness of the Bose 700 is also improved, and the listening is full. This sound is very versatile and can be applied to most common music.
Overall, dynamic EQ sound quality technology, consistent with any type of music, has a consistent listening experience.
Strong, more elegant
It must be said that the Bose 700 is still a noise-cancelling headset with flagship strength.
A look that is full of future technology with a new color that brings out a flagship elegance. Moreover, Bose has upgraded the already very good features in all aspects to meet the user’s listening needs. There is no doubt that the Bose 700 is still the flagship noise canceling headset that is worth starting this year.
