This is the best review I've seen for these headphones in youtube. Abd I've been watching for 3 weeks straight now. This is simply the best review. Others might be entertaining yes, but for proper review? Rtings all the way.
on point!
Very careful and evidence based review. Helped me decide to stay with my QC 35 II for now. Thanks guys for all this work!
Same
Sweet review. I have both the QC 35 II and NC 700’s. When I first got the NC700’s and compared it to my QC35 II’s I felt that it was missing the deeper 0-50hz frequency range for that thumping bass. I thought I was going crazy. The treble on the 700’s also felt more muted and dull. It’s like they sucked the life out of the sound signature with the new NC700’s. Thank you for your detailed tests to confirm that my ears were not tricking me. It’s going to be a tough decision because the NC700’s seem more reliable in switching between two sources. But for the comfort and sound quality, I may decide to stick with my QC35II’s!
Thanks for the review Marc, it’s a pleasure to listen to your voice!
Totally agree this is by far the best review I’ve come across on any network. Thank you for your great quality and attention to the details
Thanks for checking us out! :)
I’ve watched many reviews comparing QC35 to 700, this one is by far the best! Detailed & quantified review!
Brilliant review - I like the details covered. Keep up the good work! I have never owned an active noise canceling headphone before, so this video was very helpful. I have decided to purchase the 700 since I make a lot of calls and would like to use the headphones for a hands-free experience. The superior microphone tipped the scales for me.
This is such a great review. Keep up the good work!
Fantastic comparison. Highly useful thanks!
So professional. You both are the best I’ve ever seen. Thank You!
Never seen such a great in-depth review, Keep up the Good Work guys!
Incredibly helpful video! Thank you!
Very good job guys. This is the best methodical review. Keep up the good work!!
This was one of the most detailed video, I have QC35 V1, so i think i will stick with it for now...i might look into earbuds if they do deliver on call quality.
So details and well explanation. I like your RUclips channel. Keep making videos. 👌
I had already seen a few reviews on RUclips before I found this AMAZING review. It is comprehensive, structured, and has a number of graphical and audio comparisons. I finally decided on the QC 35. Thank you guys.
This is an absolute amazing review and comparison. All aspects are testet and showed in great detailed but also easy to understand. The out- and input recordings is very important and very helpful. Thumbs up for this great Video 👍
Wooowwww. Most underrated channel in RUclips. This is the bessst review i have ever seen. Your ability to convey the most complicated technical message in a layman language that anyone can understand is commendable. You earned my respect. 🙏
Wow! Great tests guys!
This is so professional!!!! The best reviewing video i ever seen, i call it a 3d review!!!
This was a great video and presented at the perfect pace. Thanks for this!
Thank you for watching! :)
Still rocking the OG QC35 and they continue to be comfortable and effective at blocking out tons of the ambient noise from my flights!
Great test, so detailed! Any chance to see the Bose Soundbar 700 reviewed?
What a great review guys, you can tell there was a lot of effort put into this. I have the QC15 for 6 years and still love them but need a Bluetooth version now, their comfort is superb which is important for me and the sound quality is amazing. This review helped me make the right decision for me here. Ordering them now!
Finally, this is a Review in all it's sense! No useless words! I especially liked the Sound quality analysis Thank you & keep up.
Thanks for watching! :)
I wish every reviewer was as evidence based and professional as u guys, you are my go to website for tvs, monitors and headphones reviews. Thank you
Subscribed! Excellent review guys! M going for the QC 35 ii. Comfort is quite important to me, and the 35s feel better on the head also i prefer the design of the QC 35s over the Nc 700 (not a fan of the touch gestures) somethings are better the old way. Besides NC 700s aren't worth 400$ since you can get the 35s at good discounts! Thanks for the review guys!
I seriously appreciate your attention to detail, the diversity in the video and the way everyone engages; not speaking for everyone but I'm sure those with ADHD really appreciate this review. #techheads4life
Excellent review! Do the sound quality (of either one) the same with Bluetooth and wired? Is BT degrading sound quality? thanks
The review we were all waiting for.
great comparison -- thank you for helping make a decision. stalking your other videos to see if you compare the 700 vs sony or sennheiser!
Thanks for watching! We have a comparison tool on our website too where you can compare any two headphones side-by-side!

Can't wait to see this with these two and the Airpods Max
Hello. I am looking at buying a pair of QC35 II or 700s for my 70 year old dad for his upcoming birthday. Great review and I learned a lot. Just curious what people would recommend as I am pretty clueless. He has an ipad and iphone that he plays music through with apple music and spotify. I also want him to be able to connect them to his tv. Will both do the job? Thanks!
By far one of the best comparison I listened to
I watched the entire review and only at the end realized this was 17 minutes long. Very good review.
thanks for the review. I'm upgrading to the 700 from the qc35ii specifically because of the better microphone. working from home with kids gives me alot of ambient noises that have created problems while on calls, I'm hoping that the better cancellation in the mic will make it a little less annoying.
*I wish there was a comment on the switching of codecs when listening to the AG-Hands Free Audio, when the mic kicks in, the audio quality drops dramatically and you can only use this very poor quality state when using the microphone. they go from high end excellent audio to terrible dollar store sounding headphones when speaking.
Do ALL the others do this same thing when using the mic? Please let me know
Can you do a video comparing sony wh-1000xm3 and bose nc 700?
How do these compare to the v moda crossfade 2 wireless sound quality wise?
Nice info.
That's a damn good test ! Thank you so much !
I’ve listened to both side-by-side and all the reviews so far have been spot on.
The 700s have a slightly brighter sound-wise, but don’t blow the QC35IIs away by any stretch. The EQ upgrade in the app could easily bring the QCs to similar clarity to the 700s.
The QC35IIs were more comfortable and had less pinching around the jaw. They’re also lighter, which I feel adds to the comfortability factor.
In the end, it really comes down to which one looks better and feels better in hand and on the head. Otherwise, they’re equal in almost every category.
At a current price of $299 USD for the QC35s, it’s hard to justify the small jump in performance to the 700s.
Isn’t there EQ now for the 700s? Does sound still on the 35IIs still beat the 700s with them having the new EQ feature? Tbh I don’t know much about how it works
Man, respect for such a technical comparison! Best in class! Bose should sponsor you..
Great review, thank you. Today (12/07/19) on Amazon the QC 35 II is $120 cheaper than the 700. Even if the 700 is a bit better, I think it's not that much better to warrant the price differential.
Currently you can buy them on Ebay for only $229. It ends up to $251 with tax... Now that's awesome!
@Rtings.com
That is exactly what i need to see in a video like this!
The BEST comparison of RUclips! Very good job!
I agree with your comments and technical comparison , i have bought bose qc35 2 about 1 year ago and bose 700 a few months ago... i use headphones for studying and working a lot in public and noisy place... I would only ask you if it is possible to make the same video comparing bose 700 and sony wh1000xm3, i need to decide my next buy
I'm very happy you exist. I was reading reviews until my eyes bled. RUclips is usually a bust with annoying personalities, but you guys went right to it and I didn't skip. All very useful information 100%
Great review !
I like how you compare the sound of these headphones.
I've a suggestion, it would be nice to see in your tests square wave response to see how strong the driver is (edit : a step response would be also great), impulse response to see how fast the driver is to return to its initial state and cumulative spectral decay to see the inertia of the driver over the frequency response. With these tests, we can better judge the quality of drivers, acoustic quality of designs and see the justification of the price.
Thank you for the suggestions. Most of these were already on our ideas list for a future testbench update, but your comment shows our users are interested by these kinds of tests. We're not too sure when we'll be able to add them, or how best to implement these test on our website and videos. However, if you have any suggestions, or ideas on how to best represent this data, let us know, we always welcome feedback.
@@RTINGSdotcom In fact for the CSD, you can put a waterfall graphic and under this, you can add a spectrogram. I saw graphs on a website where there is a DeltaCSD, it's a great idea because it takes the frequency response of the headphone and set it to the target. Then it compensate the datas and you can see resonances in the frequency response to explain why even if one headphone is equalized, the sound will be off in certain frequencies.
So for CSDs, first graph, the Waterfall, then the DeltaCSD and under it you can add the spectrogram. You can name this section "Driver frequency response over the time performances".
As for the impulse response, you can put the original impulse in black then the left impulse result would be blue and the right, red.
The step response can be represented as the impulse response. You can add squares waves to this section as they are a succession of steps responses but it can help the user to have a sort of zoom of the beginning of the step response.
For these tests, you need to compensate the frequency response to delete peaks and hills of your dummy head transfer curve in order to remove its influence.
Another suggestion. Its about the compensation curve of the In-ear monitors. In fact, when you measure an over the ear headphone with a flat measurement mic, it hasn't to be compensated because there is no ear to modulate the sound so you see the frequency response as you already compensate it. But if you measure an in-ear monitor with this same mic, there is a hill in the 3000 Hz zone. It's due to the fact manufacturers bypass the ear resonances and they need to amplify frequencies to mimic them. The main problem is that if you compensate with your dummy head's transfer function, it will fit to the ear of your dummy head but not to all ears. So you should use a general compensation curve. I hope you see my point here.
Thank you. That was a clear presentation and addressed the decision that I am trying to make between these two headsets. It appeared to be meticulously fair.
Really good review video. I ended up going for the 35 II. For the price and control panel
Nice!
please make Headphones 700 vs WH-1000XM3
I am planning to buy Bose Quiet Comfort 35 , wanted to know whether Noise cancellation works when headphones are connected via audio jack (Battery drain scenario)
i listened to them in the store. qc35 II was definitely my choice.
Do the 700s alleviate any of the concerns of ear drum suck found on the QC35? Does lowering the ANC level help with this at all?
Yes this and other reviews state that the 700s resolve this issue
Does anyone know how these do when you rest your head against the interior wall of the airplane? I like to try and sleep with my head against the wall if im at a window seat, but the rumbling of the airplane transfers too much through the headphones that I cant rest my head there with the headphones on.
V good review. Thx. One Major difference I found in your review as compared to others is that... You suggest that Bass in the 700 is actually Lower than the 35ii. Is my understanding correct?
Just to clarify, by Lower I meant... Less of a thump
Yes, our measurements show that the Bose QC 35 II have more low-end thump and rumble, while the NC700 have a similar overemphasis but in the high-bass. We also gave them a subjective listen and what we heard matches our measurements
.
Best review so far
thank you for the in detail comparison. the q35 2 is currently on sale for 200 $, and decided to stick with it...figured the 170$ difference is not worth it.
Damn I missed the deal
Nice to see that. My Sony MX3 died after less than a year and I hate the pairing process, while my QC35 MK1 are still going strong (only had to replace the pads after a few years). Thanks for that.
review anker Soundcore liberty neo please....🙏 🙏 🙏
When can we find a detailed page with the test results on the website?
You can find the side-by-side data of both the QC 35 II and the NC700 here: bit.ly/2UkUSsc
You can also access the individual reviews on this page!
FINALLY!!! SOMEONE THAT GETS STRAIGHT TO THE POINT!!!!
I like the program with diagrams.
Very good review!
Thanks!
@@RTINGSdotcom Where is the Sony 1000 X4 vs Bose 700 review?
I love the industrial design of the QC35II
I had the Bose NC700 for about 2 weeks but ended up exchanging them for the QC35ii. The 700s just aren't as comfortable as the QC35ii's
Did you regret this decision?
@@siic not at all, I love my QC 35ii so much better than the NC700. Way more comfortable to wear for longer periods of time.
@@sowrongitsjason still trying to decide what to pick. But yeah comfort is the biggest thing for me
@@siic staples have them for 200 and I just price match it on bestbuy
When testing the frequency response did you guys have the noise canceling on for the quiet comfort 35 II? Also do you guys think that there is an audio difference if you use the wire over using a bluetooth connection for the quality of the audio you hear? Thanks for the review you guys helped me so much with calibrating my Samsung KS8000 in 2016!
We test headphones the way we think users are going to be using them the most. For the QC35 II, we measured them with their ANC enabled. As for the audio wired vs wireless, there's not much of a difference for this headset. You can read more on our testing and results here www.rtings.com/headphones/learn/wired-vs-wireless-headphones.
Hello!
Something I would like to see in that kind of review is how it resists to time.
I have a Bose QC35 for 1 year and half now, and I always ise it with great care.
It has less scratches as yours.
BUT: although I use it with great care, the ear cushions are exploded. Both sides.
I can't believe it's such a cheap design. I have an Audiotechnica (regular,
wired) I bought in the early 2000s, with wooden cups. It's still exactly the
same as it used to be when I bought it. It was about 400 usd at that time,
but it was really well built.
So if you want to be fair, you may want ot add the price of cushion replacements
every year or so. I'm close to 2 years, and not using it everyday, so I suppose
they would get worn very quickly for more regular users.
If you want, I can send you pictures of my Bose 35, which might add another
argument for choice.
This is what I'm thinking the materials of the 700 is better no?
This is the best review - two professionals reviewing stuff they specialize in.
This is way better compared to other videos on youtube where the guy would do a video on electric toothbrushes and then another one suggesting to upgrade to 700s only because he liked his stupid edm music more and the design is slicker.
Best review
Excellent review. Well done.
tnx u bro ! my choice bose 700 !
I am using bose qc35ii from last one year. I have recently upgraded to bose 700.
The bass in 700s is almost negligible as compared to Bose QC 35ii . It’s a major difference.
Someone else felt the same? Or my new headphones are broken?
Yes. I find the QC 35ii to provide a 'livelier' experience. My 700 is kind of 'dull'. I find it very disappointing, mainly considering the price we paid for the 700. I considered returning it, but I'm hoping the promised equalizer in the app may allow us to improve that. I'm surprised the reviews are not talking about it, this was the best review I've seen so far. I also understand that sound experience is somewhat personal. And by the way, for calls I still much prefer my BeatsX, and so my mother in the other end.
@@Dori_1111 Exactly, seems like all the reviewers are just trying to ignore the part that the difference is massive. There is no thump in the bass of 700. Tried same song same volume, and QC35ii sounds so much better. One question: Did Bose really promised an equalizer? Do you think that will improve the bass for 700s?
This is the best review and both comparison. Thank you guys. Will go for Bose 700 after listening.
Let us know how you find it!
I have both of these. The QC35 wins because of the comfort!
He is a very good reviewer tbh
NC8 700?🤔
thank you for this review, and i will also add ,that when the 700's are on your head, and when you look up...they come right off ..bose 700, i am returning this product just for the fact that the audio cable does not reach the Back of my rig !...1.06 meters ?
Lol why don’t you get another audio cable then? That cable is good for most people, and not too long so it’s dangling about.
looked in three different places in town..no one has the 3.5 mm with 2.5mm...not everyone is into more batteries , or bluetooth ..
Thanks for including the mic test! That is why I'm going to buy the 700. I spend a lot of time on calls. I won't need to look that hard for a quiet place. Other than that, I would have preferred the QC for its smaller size, better sound quality, and hardware buttons.
I have the bose700 and qc35ii.The qc35 is way better.the sound of the 700 is garbage
XM4 VS BOSE 700 PLEAZE
I prefer the NC700 because of the newer ANC features, USB-C, better ANC performance. As for the sound, I like the warmer sound of the NC700.
I just listened to the Bose 700s and realized that it sounds almost exactly like the steel series 9 wireless ＼(°o°)／
Is Sony gonna release a WH-1000XM4 this year?
Not likely they only released that model last year. Sony sounds great but is flawed with touch controls that does not like the cold, and lake of proper multipoint Bluetooth connectivity.
I actually took my Sony’s back to pickup the older qc35s, and have now replaced those with the 700s. Fantastic.
Yes this September
@@GlennThoughts looks like this didn't happen.
@@helboy01 yeah.. I'm using XM3 since anyways and happy so far :)
Hi, Thanks for the great review !
Which firmware did you test for the qc 35 II ? I heard the noise cancelling quality decreased with an update.
Thank you !
We retested the QC35 II on the 4.5.2 version a few times. We noticed a slight decrease in ANC performance with our unit, but not as badly as we previously had measured. However, it seems not all units have this issue!
Thanks for the quick answer. By decrease of ANC, you mean in general or for specific sounds like voices, etc. ...
Nice work by the way, I just discovered your channel and I really enjoy your work.
Rtings.com would you please give me dthe two letters at the end of the serial number , to determine which version of the qc35 you have used in this review. Many thanks in advance
The 700s have the nicer looks and feel - just a sleeker design. But on overall performance the QC35 II wins hands down!
Any ratings wkthout mentioning tje firware version is useless.
why do you say that the QC35II have a good neutral sound ? I mean when i see your sound profile it's pretty neutral but it's not the frequency response of the headphone out of the box and the raw frequency response is'nt that great ...
I'm having BOSE 700 but the sound is leaking also the Noise cancellations is not cancelling the people talking next to you.
Not recommending to buy it.
Noise Cancellation is Not supposed to shut down other people’s voices. Instead, it’s supposed to drastically reduce background noises like the steady humming of a plane. And there are not many headphones that are better than the Bose in doing this.
Having both headphones I can honestly say the 700 have better sound quality, the controls are much better, and the pads get softer with time. Great review, but I disagree with many things.
Bose is currently trying to fix this “auto-off after 10 minutes” feature on the QC700 as it’s a bust! You can not sleep in them or meditate with this feature as there is currently no way to turn it off! See there “community website”. It’s a disaster! Everyone is wanting to return their headphones if they haven’t already. Just sad! ☹️
Fixed I have a pair
👌🏻
Are you guys french?
Becker's Rs they’re Canadian
I heard qc 2 is better. Happier with the choice.

You can't hear bellow 20hz
Applaud your commitment to be last to review Sony wf-1000xm3.
I scrolled through the comments looking for exactly this!! Been refreshing the website every hour for two weeks now. I just bought them last weekend (I LOVE THEM) and now I just want confirmation if I made the right decision, hehe. By the way RTINGS, if you are actually planning on testing them, use the silicon earpieces, not the foam ones, they don't isolate that well, so the ANC effect wears off.
We just published the Sony WF-1000XM3 review, you can check it out on our website: www.rtings.com/headphones/reviews/sony/wf-1000xm3-truly-wireless
No, keep my QC 35 II!
The NC700 isn’t even an upgrade other than for features.
I fear that soft plastic headband is gonna get sticky.
What I learned about Bose from an audio engineer and guys who compete in car stereo competitions. Bose never lists the actual frequency of their speakers. Never. The highest most expensive speakers on the market always list their frequencies of their speakers. Bose doesn’t want you to know what you are getting. Or aren’t getting. I was shown with an audio tuning disc how Bose speakers have NO midrange. A tuning disc playins everyoctive sound the human ear can hear. So with cheap and expensive speakers you hear all the sounds from the lowest lows to the highest highs. When the Bose speakers were tested in front of me they started off with lows. Once they got to the midrange frequency the Bose speakers went silent. For a good 120 to 30 seconds the Bose speakers made no sound. Because they have no midrange. Then the speakers finally started playing the high frequencies. If you like that then your okay if not well don’t buy Bose.
I just
Why not just put the headphones on an actual head...
We also take subjective impressions but that can vary. Instead, we prefer to use objective testing methods so that there’s no room for bias or subjectivity to impact results!
