Our Verdict

Bose 700 Headphones Wireless

Bose QuietComfort 45/QC45 Wireless

The Bose 700 Headphones Wireless and the Bose QuietComfort 45/QC45 Wireless are both premium headphones with slightly different strengths. While both headphones have a fantastic noise isolation performance thanks to Bose's ANC technology, the QC45 are slightly better at blocking out day-to-day sounds like office chatter. They also have better battery performance and are more comfortable. On the other hand, the 700 are better built and have a better overall microphone performance.
