The verdict

While the Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700 can't beat the Sony WH-1000XM4 at active noise canceling, they still does a great job. These cans are exactly the upgrade that Bose needed to make, and their beautiful design and excellent sound quality will attract many music lovers.

✓What we like
✓Great active noise canceling
✓Sleek design
✓Gesture pad works perfectly
✓Better sound than the QC35 II
✕What could be better
✕No folding hinges
