They also have a "Conversation Mode", which allows you to temporarily pause the music in order to announce a message or make a call.

They also have a fantastic microphone for hands-free calling and also a voice assistant which does a good job of separating your speech from the background noise when answering questions. The Bose Connect and Bose Music apps also let you adjust the audio settings and alter the EQ.

Comfort

Comfort is one of Bose's strengths, whether you're using an over or on-ear headphone. Bose's headphones are typically well-padded and don't feel too tight on your head.

The headphones also have a very neutral midrange response, so voices reproduce well. The only downside is that they do not support the most recent Bluetooth codecs, like aptX Adaptive or LDAC which would enable playback that is lossless.

Instead there's a touch panel on the front half of the right ear cup that can detect swipes and finger taps. Tap twice to play or stop and swipe up to increase the volume, then down to lower it, and then forward to skip tracks. One tap answers calls and a double tap rejects an incoming call.

Their sound is balanced, and headphones With bluetooth versatile enough to be used across genres. They are also extremely portable and sturdy. This makes them an ideal choice for traveling.

One of the main factors that makes Bose headphones so well-known is their noise cancellation. The NCH 700s come with 10 different levels of noise cancellation, and even at its maximum, it's pretty impressive. Six of the eight microphones are tucked into the headband to keep voices away from background noise. Two of the microphones also serve as noise-rejection sensor to reduce background hiss and echo during calls.

Bose headphones are minimalistic in design, with just a few buttons. The left cup features a noise-cancellation switch that can be adjusted and the right one has switches for power/Bluetooth as well as launching digital assistants.
