Bose has a long history of making some of the best noise-cancelling headphones money can buy. What began with the wired Bose QuietComfort 25 was soon overshadowed by the popularity of the QuietComfort 35, now in its second iteration.
However, Bose isn't resting on its laurels just yet. The audio manufacturer recently announced the release of the newest device to join its superb noise-cancelling headphones range and, from all accounts, the Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700 will outdo the QC35s in every way.
Although Bose touts the new cans for office use, especially noisy ones, there's one standout feature that will suit the regular commuter just as well. Where other noise-cancelling headphones eliminate ambient noise so you can focus on the music you're listening to, it doesn't do the same when you're on a phone call. The person on the other end of the line will hear all the noise that surrounds you.
The Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700 changes that by applying active noise cancellation to both phones calls as well as music. This is achieved thanks to an array of eight microphones, six of which are for traditional noise cancellation while listening to tunes, while the other two (in conjunction with two of the traditional mics) work to focus your voice and eliminate ambient sound during phone calls.
There are 11 noise-cancellation levels on the Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700 as compared to three on the Bose QC35 II. However, all this comes at a hefty cost.
The new headphones are already available for purchase on Bose's website for a whopping $599.95 in black, with the Luxe Silver coming at a later (undisclosed) date. However, if you're really keen to be an early adopter of this great gizmo, then you can save when shopping on Amazon Australia.
