#112 Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700: $369.00 Discontinued Amazon eBay
Pros: Wireless noise cancelling headphones with SBC and AAC, Bluetooth 5.0, a built-in microphone, a wired option, an IPX4 splash rating and a rated 20 hours of battery. At 250 g it is light for a full-size ANC headphone. The warm tuning, with the upper bass about 3 dB over target, suits listeners who like a smooth and relaxed sound.
Cons: Treble is rolled off, about 5.4 dB under target from 6 to 10 kHz and 3.5 dB under above that, with a 9 dB dip near 10.9 kHz, so cymbals and vocal detail sound dull. The Harman preference score of 58 shows a response well off the target. Battery life of 20 hours is short for a wireless ANC model, and there is no aptX or LDAC support. Discontinued.
