Unfortunately, the Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700 are not waterproof. Are the Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700 waterproof? That level of comfort was always present with the Bose QC35 II and even the QC25 before them, and I just feel like it’s missing here. Again, it’s still comfortable and this is a huge nitpick but considering the high price tag, I should barely notice that I’m wearing these. Thankfully, the padding here is way more comfortable than those, but I had the same problem where the plastic occasionally pulled my hair. The Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700, however, are now rocking a soft rubberized plastic similar to the one found on the Beats Studio3 headphones. Plus, these no longer have folding hinges. The pressure at the crown of the head was almost non-existent.Ī soft, rubber plastic replaces the microfiber-lined headband cushion of the QC35 II, and while it’s still comfortable it feels like a step backward. I was a huge fan of the padding on the QC35 II as it was wrapped in a soft microfiber cloth that just felt great to wear. On top of that, the padding on the top of the headband has been changed as well. It’s not like the cafe didn’t have the air conditioning on either, but in any kind of warm conditions these are going to get really warm which isn’t something I noticed with the QC35 II. It got to the point where I noticed that I was sweating when I took them off. This is great when it comes to isolating outside noise, but wearing them at my local cafe for a few hours while typing this up (yeah, I’m that guy) resulted in my ears getting pretty hot. While the ear cups are still using a comfortable padding, they’re stiffer than the previous cushions found on the QC35 II. The main reason for this step backward is the change in materials used for the padding. But this is where the praise for the redesign ends because while the 700 headphones aren’t uncomfortable by any means, they’re definitely a step backward from the QC35 II.
Now the headband has a metal construction that will make it much harder to accidentally break. The headphones are also no longer made entirely from plastic. These don’t have hinges for folding, so expect to make use of the included hardshell referring case if you want to keep these safe. The ear cups still rotate a full 90 degrees so you can rest these around your neck when not in use, but the clicky adjustment mechanism has also been swapped out for one that lets you slide the ear cups into place instead. You can now slide the ear cups into place thanks to the new sliding adjustment which seems more intuitive than the clicky ones of previous models.
