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 bought a pair of Sony XM5s on my flight to US. I kept using them for a month at work, the headband dug into my skull. Even though I knew the AirPods Max would be way too expensive, I ordered them to just try and see if that price was justified. Only when I compared the same songs on the same music service I realized how good the APM sounded. To me their sound signature is high-end. They somehow manage to keep vocals bright and bass punchy at the same time. The Sony XM5s despite being top-of-the-line at the time sounded muddy. Through a strange series of events, I don't have those with me anymore. I now have Bose 700 NC. I got these for calls. They sound like butt for music. I can't afford APMs anymore. APMs may be expensive, but there is nothing in that price range that sounds this good, and has such elegant design.

Bose qc35ii and NC700 are typically reported to still be well and sound after almost a decade. I wonder if you consider them to be high quality

The outside covers or pads? Because the pads are famously weak point in Bose headphones, but they are cheap and easily replaceable. As for the outside covers, I don't know anyone who has ever replaced that part. But I believe it is a matter of undoing some screws hidden beneath the pads.

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.

Depends on which I recently got the AirPods Pro 3 and the noise cancellation & passive isolation is much better than my over ear Bose NC700s

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

The Bose QC ultras work really well. If you need headphones that will toggle back and forth with teams, the NC-700. The new QC earbuds (they have several generations of them) will toggle back and forth but not as easily as the NC-700, which I think they discontinued.
