The fit of the headphones.
weight
254 g
We consider a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to carry. A lower weight is also an advantage for home appliances, as it makes transportation easier, and for many other types of products.
has a detachable cable
✔Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700
With a detachable cable you can use alternative cables, and if the cable is pulled it will pop out instead of breaking.
The first number of the IP rating refers to protection against dust, while the second number refers to protection against liquid. E.g. a first number of 6 denotes that it is completely dustproof, and a second number of 7 denotes that the device can withstand full immersion in water.

Sound quality
has active noise cancellation (ANC)
✔Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700
This type of device allows you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the volume to overcome background noise. Ideal for plane rides and morning commutes.
lowest frequency
10 Hz
The lowest frequency at which the device produces audio. The lower the low-frequency response, the stronger and juicier the bass.
highest frequency
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
The highest frequency at which device produces audio. The higher the high-frequency response, the clearer and crispier the treble.
driver unit size
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
The driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device. Bigger drivers are more powerful and can produce better bass.
impedance
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
Impedance is the device’s electrical resistance to the current being pushed through it. The lower the impedance, the easier it is to get higher volume and requires less power.
sound pressure level
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
has a neodymium magnet
✖Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700
Devices with neodymium magnets are lighter and more powerful than those which use ferrite magnets. They also have more bass and clear high notes.
has passive noise reduction
✔Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700
The device sits tightly in place, creating an acoustic seal which reduces background noise and prevents your music from leaking out.
Power
Battery life
20 hours
The device's battery life (when in use) as given by the manufacturer. With a longer battery life you have to charge the device less often.
Battery life (ANC)
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
The battery life when using active noise cancellation (ANC), as given by the manufacturer.
charge time

It supports a wireless charging standard such as Qi. To charge the device, you simply put it down on a compatible charging pad.
battery power
630 mAh
Battery power, or battery capacity, represents the amount of electrical energy that a battery can store. More battery power can be an indication of longer battery life.
Has a solar power battery
✖Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700
A solar battery takes its energy from light, and stores it in a self-recharging battery which never needs to be changed.
has a rechargeable battery
✔Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700
The battery can be recharged and used over again.

has aptX Adaptive
✖Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700
aptx Adaptive is an audio codec for Bluetooth devices that is developed by Qualcomm. It has a variable bit rate (between 279kbps and 420kbps), which means it can adjust the bit rate for different scenarios, such as listening to HD audio or reducing interference from other devices.
has aptX
✖Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700
aptX is a codec used for transmitting audio wirelessly with Bluetooth. It is developed by Qualcomm, and supports 16-bit audio at a bit rate of 384kbps.
has LDAC
✖Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700
LDAC is a codec developed by Sony for Bluetooth audio. It is capable of a very high bitrate of 990kbps, which provides high resolution audio. It can also automatically adjust to a lower bitrate of 330kbps or 660kbps to increase stability.
has aptX Low Latency
✖Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700
aptX Low Latency is a codec developed by Qualcomm. It uses Bluetooth 5.0 technology to provide low latency audio (around 40ms), which is useful when you want to avoid audio lag (e.g. when playing games).

Love the build quality and noise cancelling in them. Really like the touch panel. Tried Sony mx4's and found them heavy and uncomfortable. Bose phone app could be much better and give more customisation options. Sound quality is worse than Sony and Beaoplay HX from Bang and Olufsen

While the sound and ANC were on par with other Bose products, which is excellent these are the MOST UNCOMFORTABLE I've ever tried. So if they're uncomfortable to the point where you don't like wearing them nothing else really matters.
