Bose - Noise Cancelling Headphones 700

Ich hatte genau das gleiche Problem. 2019 durch Glück an eine günstige Altbauwohnung gekommen. Über mir ein 54 Jahre alter Herr,der gar nicht daran dachte zu verkaufen. 8 Monate später ist dann doch eine Familie mit Kindern über mir eingezogen. Die Bose 700 Kopfhörer haben mir hierbei den Verstand gerettet. Da ich dann aber doch auch ohne Kopfhörer meine Ruhe haben wollte, habe ich die Wohnung an eine Familie verkauft und bin in eine DG Wohnung eingezogen und ich liebe es.

I love the QC45! Though the Bose 700 are even better if you can afford them.

NC700 are pretty light headphones (around 254 grams) so this surprises me a bit. The XM6 weight about the same, the QC a bit less and the really good ones I have (Bathys/Px8) and the Px7s3 a lot more. Would look at the XM6 which has a phenomenal microphone and ANC solid (if a bit bass forward) sound (EQ helps) and pretty comfortable although I don't like the shallow earpads. The Bose QC Ultra and QC are also right around the XM6 and NC700 in weight but may feel more comfortable for you as they don't use the same headband.

I'm going to say no based on the following selection of headphones that I own: Dynamic: Verite Open, Focal Elegia, Beyerdynamic T5/3rd generation and HD650, Planar: DCA E3, DCA Noire, Hifiman HE1000 Stealth, Audeze LCD-2f. IEMs: FiiO FH7s, Westone Mach 40; earbuds: Galaxy Buds Pro 2, Galaxy Buds Pro 3, Jabra Elite Active 8, Sennheiser True Momentum 4, Bose QC II, Bose QC Ultra and ANC headphones Bose NC700, Bose QC Ultra, Sony XM5 and B&W Px8.

Most are not focused on the mic cancelling noise when you talk- I have older Bose 700 which actually have a good mic. If work is the priority, I’d recommend Jabra or something geared towards calls

Not sure why you were downvoted, deep IEM's like etymotics are the best way to block out noises. I had a pair many years ago and they were truly outstanding for blocking all forms of noise. I currently have a pair of Bose 700 and they are great comfortable headphones, but there is no way any ANC headphone will stop banging noises. My 700's don't even block voices, just reduce them slightly. Where they do excel is in constant background noise, eg a rowing machine - they reduce the loud rowing machine noise almost to zero. One thing to note for OP is that etymotics are rather unique in that they go very, very deep into your ear. I ended up cutting off the outer flange of the three flange eartips and the isolation was still great. I havent tried them but there are some Etymotic clones on aliexpress that seem to get decent feedback on here.

Copy pasting my answer from a similar thread: I'm enjoying my Bose 700 (UC*), but the engineer who had the smart idea to separate "mute call" and "disconnect call" by just 1 tap does NOT deserve a raise. Also something that I am missing is a visual / haptic indicator on the headset that I am muted. But I have yet to find a device that fixes these two issues and comes close to the overall performance of the Bose 700. Still my daily driver for work, music & travel (great ANC). \*Side tip: I got the Bose 700 UC adapter (a Bose proprietary USB - Bluetooth adapter) separately which back when I got it meant the package was cheaper, but functionally the same. Edit: not a smart man. I was trying to reply to the Bose 700 UC comment -_-

Bose NC 700 are my daily drivers. Light weight, sleek, good noise cancelling. Mic quality is pretty good for calls as well and changing the noise cancelling level between conversation and full noise cancellation is a single press.

I like the Sony XM5 better than the Sony XM6, the call quality sounds more real, sound a bit AI in the XM6. And the clamping force in the XM6 is very bad. The XM5 are much better on clamping force and phone calls. Has have the XM5 since they came in may 2022. The XM6 is little better on the ANC i don´t hear so much different in the music quality. and i don´t need to put it in the box, i just have it in a cotton bag never in the original hard case. I have the Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700 too (best call quality and very easy aware mode or transparency mode with only one buttom to hold in and the music stops and you can hear eveything around you), and the Bose QC ultra (little better music quality than the 700 but worse call quality. Have has the XM2 and the XM4 before (good music quality but poor call quality. I shall sell the Sony XM6.

I had the Bose 700 and felt like the ANC wasn’t great on those. My mate loves their Bose QC though.

Yeah the ANC wasn’t great for me at all with that pair. Any bumps while commuting and the music would cut out.

The only thing I'd put in the same general category for sound quality is the Focal Bathys, and it's like ... $700 new? I've tried most of the Sonys, Samsungs, Bose, Beats, etc. and been deeply unimpressed by pretty much all of them. The one I did like a lot is the Bose 700, but it's been discontinued. So if you can find a refurbed or new old stock Bose 700? Or a used Bathys?
