Bose 700 versus the competition The Bose 700 headphones sound better and arguably have a better-looking design. Overall, they have a great set of features at a great price point. At this price, users will have to review each product for the features they can't live without and base their decision on that.

The Headphones 700 can handle most music genres well, with an easy listening and open sound that's slightly more spacious than the QC35. Overall they are some of the most consistent and best-sounding headphones you can buy, right up their with Sony's MX-1000M3.

The Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700 are good for neutral sound. They have a slightly bass-heavy and warm sound profile since their treble is underemphasized. They're still fairly well-balanced as they have a neutral mid-range, so vocals and lead instruments are clear and present.

Sony WH-1000XM5 Our favorite wireless headphones are also great noise-canceling headphones - the Bose have an edge on ANC performance and comfort, but you can't go wrong with the WH-1000XM5, which offer great ANC, sound, and battery life plus a useful, full-featured app.
