How long have I had them: 2-3 weeks
I bought them to have a more comfortable pair for running, but they have failed this because they make my heavy footsteps very loud in my head. I have found them to be great for doing loud chores, like washing dishes, doing vacuuming etc. and they are not bad for walking.
Pros:
- Well balanced sound with good directionality
- Mostly good noise cancelling
- Decent inbuilt microphone
- Solid construction
Cons:
- Controls are weird, not good for wet hands
- Sound is slightly less detailed than midrange wired headphones, such as sennheiser hd 599, but unless you have a decent amp/DAC, probably comparab...view more How long have I had them: 2-3 weeks

- Sound is slightly less detailed than midrange wired headphones, such as sennheiser hd 599, but unless you have a decent amp/DAC, probably comparable
- Initially uncomfortable but it gets better
- Amplifies wind and footsteps
- Tight so they increase sweating
- Soundstage is quite closed, so most music sounds a little more claustrophobic than with speakers or openback headphones

A) Wait for the sale.person , as per guidelines, I can't write a monetary price but all top end headphones are massively overpriced.
C) comfort is something bose wins on , but marginally.. the clamping on sony and its padding is not as good as bose
D) this thing does not work with google assistant , now this is tricky to explain. Because, google assistant recognizes it and wants to give the user every facility but as per bose app, google assistant is locked for our region.. who locks a digital assistant? So if you want google assistant, connect your headphones through the google assistant app(plus google assistant auto updates the headphone...view more A) Wait for the sale.person , as per guidelines, I can't write a monetary price but all top end headphones are massively overpriced.

E) call quality is amazing but be honest are you buying these headphones for primarily calling? If yes, then buy. My wife is stuck overseas because of covid-19; she has confirmed that the call quality is better my samsung buds live and i consider those buds as thebest ear/headphones for calls excluding dedicated calling headphones
F) because it has leather ear cups..heat does build up but Sony's are worse.. however, if low heat built up is a characteristic that you look in headphones, buy anything from steel series..because a fabric mesh is better than leather..
Sneaky tip: although they don't fit perfectly, i have changed my earcups on my bose with a pair of earcups that were on my steelseries arctis 3... Lol i lost a little bit of noise cancelling, a bit of sound quality but heat built was very minimal.

In the end, there are better headphones out there but if you want something aesthetically pleasing, with decent sound (high volume sounds is much then sony), decent battery life and decent noise cancelling.. these are good headphones but if you want the above-mentioned features in a less sexy looking product(metal looks better plastic) and save money , buy the sonys.. and if you just want a good set of heatphones that you can wear for 10 hours on the trot, buy steelseries arctis 3,5,or7 .. you may loose noise cancelling but you will gain comfot and 35-40 hours of battery!

Top tip: buy soapstone .. and if you like to be safe buy black and ALWAYS on sale.. im a bose fanboy , but i have tried to be as honest as i could be

Wonderful product. The point of difference is the microphone. It sounds amazing. I can vacuum the house while talking on the phone to someone and they can only here a hum but have no idea I'm vacuuming.
All the reviews talk about the bass not being hi enough for hip hop but sounds perfect to me.
Courier dropped the product off within a week and left it at the door rather then take it to some distribution centre for me to collect.
Ps I might have gone for the Sony xm3 but I wanted the bose microphone capabilites. And I'm glad I purchased this from pb tech. Wonderful product. The point of difference is the microphone.

From the moment you turn these on to finally syncing them with your device and start listening to your music, you quickly figure out that these are as advertised and reviewed by everyone on the internet the absolute cream of the crop when it comes to range topping Noise Cancelling headphones. If you've used previous Bose Noise Cancelling headphones you wont be disappointed in these ones. I've come up from QC25's to the 700's. They're worth every cent.

Great headphones, sound and call Funktion is working a treat.

Battery live is rather less than expected. I'm not sure if it would last a long haul flight. In the office, it seems to draw down rather faster than expected.
There is no on or off switch and therefore the batteries wearing down faster. Great headphones, sound and call Funktion is working a treat.

Exceeded my expectations.
Controls took 3 mins to use - pairs with all Bluetooth devices easily..

When playing music I love - it’s like hearing it for the first time. Exceeded my expectations.

Absolutely love these headphones. They truly are top of the line sound quality and the noise cancelling function is game-changing for my productivity. Sales team were also incredibly helpful at the St Lukes PB Tech! Absolutely love these headphones.

I've been using the headphones over the past month
Comfortable to wear sitting, standing or lying down. Great sound quality. Easy adjustment of noise cancelling level. Very useful having facility to turn on ambient microphone when listening to other people.
App does n not allow much control of the headphones I've been using the headphones over the past month

Bought this during Cyber Monday sale, very good discount down to a more reasonable price than the normal RRP of $700.

Have been using this mainly for work, talking on the phone, which has excellent call quality, it was so good that if I stopped talking, the person at the other end would think the call was dropped out.

Only thing though is this doesn't have NFC even though the PB Tech listing states wireless technology to be bluetooth/NFC, a bit misleading I thought, maybe PB should remove NFC from it.

Previous headphones were the QC25's which I loved and wore out 2x sets of earpads. Bose sound is excellent, and this feels like a flagship product. Design is awesome, comfort on is awesome, case and presentation.. all gold class. Noise cancellation is good, but not as great as the Sony version (tested both before purchase) The thing that is so so so frustrating is the world of bluetooth connectivity. These are v5.0, which is part of the reason I went with them over the sony (4.x).. but the same issues that existed in 2.0 still screw up your experience. Drop-offs mid stream, the occasional crackle.. nothing you can replicate consistently,...view more Previous headphones were the QC25's which I loved and wore out 2x sets of earpads.

Drop-offs mid stream, the occasional crackle.. nothing you can replicate consistently, but it totally interupts what would otherwise be a trip to a different world. This connecting to Macbook16" and Note10+ hardware.. Thank God they still ship a cable for the times I need to zen out, and not be interrupted by tech failing. Apart from bluetooth issues, these things are practically flawless.

The quality is outstanding. Can be logged into 2 phones at the same time (My work and personal at the same time) so if one rings while listening to spotify on the other it will ring in the earphones which is super super awesome.

Earphones are super comfortable than the QC35's.

Long Battery Life - 16 hours and I charge once a week.

I replaced a fairly new pair of Bose QC35 II with this new Bose product. While the QC35s are a great set of cans, these are better. At work I used to be able to hear conversations in the background...no longer the case, it’s like being in a vacuum (a good thing), and the fact you can dial it down in 11 increments makes it all the much better. Bass is good in these (a regular complaint with Bose). If you have the money, buy these, I’ve been through a few NC headphones, and these are the best I’ve owned. And I’m excited with the software updates promised within the next 12 months (you can see these on the Bose website) I replaced a fairly new pair of Bose QC35 II with this new Bose product.
