The new wireless Bluetooth 700 headphones aim to make near-constant use safe, convenient, and as sonorous as ever. The refined design of the 700 is the first thing you notice, and the look is beautifully simple and unencumbered. Most importantly, though, is what’s underneath. Bose AR is the world’s first audio augmented reality that incorporates device connection, apps, and noise canceling in one for the purpose of keeping you both isolated from and connected to the outside world all at the same time. The 700 uses an adaptive four-microphone system that tunes into and isolates our voice while canceling surrounding noises. The result is clarity both into and out of the headphones. You can even customize noise canceling via 11 levels using the Bose Music app, as well as go into Conversation Mode with a simple button push, so you may never have to take them off. The 700s are also optimized for voice commands via Alexa and Google Assistant, and all you have to do is tap the right earcup to initiate. All this and 20 hours of listening time make the 700 the next set of cans you’ll want for virtually every level of activity or inactivity.
