Our Verdict
Bose 700 Headphones Wireless
Razer Opus Wireless 2020
The Razer Opus Wireless 2020 are better headphones for mixed usage than the Bose 700 Headphones Wireless. The physical controls on the Razer are easier to use than the touch-sensitive controls found on the Bose 700. The Razer's battery also lasts significantly longer at over 32 hours and their ANC is a bit better than the Bose 700. On the other hand, the Bose have a significantly better microphone, which can be important if you take a lot of phone calls, and they're more comfortable.
