H i!
Is anyone using the Bose 700 here? I am just wondering how it works with the touch gestures? I suppose they will work for a blind person as there are no display on the headphones. /A

It should work. I can't tell you how to do it as I don't remember which way

to swipe for each thing but from what I understand it's like swiping the volume on the forth or fith Gen IPod Nanno.

I Don’t know as I haven’t tested them. But I assume they’re like all Bose headphones. Quite clear and crispy with a lot of base to it. /A

The Bose 700 headphones are very comfortable and have some good features for blind users. The touch controls are extremely easy to use. Sliding your finger vertically up or down the front side3 of the right ear cup increases or decreases the volume. Sliding your finger forward or backward moves to next track or start of current track/previous track. Double-tapping pauses and resumes playbak. There are three physical buttons also - for power on/off and pairing; - For adjusting the noise cancelation level between three pre-set levels (the Bose Music app allows you to choose these); - And the other button is for answering/ending a call, Siri or other voice assistant. You can choose from level 10 noise cancelation - which is extremely good, through to level 0, which is a pretty responsive and accurate transparency mode. I often use level 4, which attenuates noise but still allows situational awareness when at home - so I can hear someone calling or what the dog is doing. For blind folks, this multi-level noise cancelation feature is the stand-out feature of the 700's. Their other stand-out feature is for phone calls, where they attempt to cancel noise around you as you speak, so the person at the other end only hears you. As with all headphones in this class, their reproduction of your voice is adequate, but not great, lacking high end and some flanging. Music playback Sound is good, but not super fantastic. Bose have their own sound profile which a lot of audio files are not very impressed by. The app allows you to adjust bass, mid-range and highs, but it’s accessibility is a little fiddly. The Sonys and The AirPods Max are both considered to have much superior sound over-all. Audio Latency is pretty poor over Bluetooth, which is a shame. Worse still, there is significant latency when you use the 3.5 ml headphone cable, which makes them poor for audio production work where you really want 0-latency. That about sums up my experience with these headphones. Tim Tim Noonan Consultant Speaker Coach Phone: +61 419 779 669 Email: tim@...

Thanks Tim for your great explanation. That made me thinking of buying them even though they’re expensive. But there are more expensive beasts out there. /A

Hi Tim. Thanks for that. Yes I love the Bose sound though. I will admit they don't do sub bass. But then again headphones especially can't do true car subwoofer bass. That feel it threw your house as the car goes buy bass. But that is for a Bose quality thread on a Bose list. Or something like that. I once had QC 15 headphones. I loved them. Wanted the 700s but didn't have the $300. Did you say there's mor lag with the cable then with blutooth? How can that be? But then again production headphones these are not. They wouldn't be considered flat enough. I've also heard they are brighter and perhaps wider sounding then the QC35 2.

Yeah that's what I love about Bose. Crispy clear, but not apple earpod crispy which isn't good for Godzilla 1998. You want real real bright speakers or headphones for what the TrendMaster toys called the Tornado Blast roar on the boxes. Any who the mids I guess are nice and the bass is good enough for me. Verry theatrical. I know audio files hate Bose but that's for some other thread on some other list perhaps but I'll say for me the sound is pretty cool. Tek is more my beef with Bose but again that's for a technologie bose should have already but still in 2021 doesn't thread.

I haven’t heard the QC 35 or 35 2’s, but the sound is better (from what I have read) on the 700s. Don’t get me wrong, the sound quality is good, just doesn’t feel very open to my ears. No, the latency is probably greater on the Bluetooth than the cable, but - in general - it's a poor situation that the cable connection has any significant lag.

Very much like the QC35 II but with some improvement for the function your own voice. It's still Sony, who has the best noise reduction.

I don’t understand why audiophiles doesn’t like them. Maybe they’re to glittery or what should I say. I have a pair of the Dali Io6 and yes they’re great but my ears are to big for the phones so they doesn’t fit very well. /A

Actually glittery isn't the reason. Remember 1 of the Bose jokes is no highs no lows hmmmmmmmmm must be Bose. You'd have to talk to 1 of these guys but they say the bass is week the mids aren't all that good and okay okay perhaps the highs though not their taste too week. The Sonys people clame are better. Well for Bass I'd have to hear El Farasante by Ozuna on Sonies to see how good the bass supposedly is. Highs I'll tell you aren't to my taste. Yes pump the volume just right and you'll get some glitter, but not good enough for the the tornado blast roar of Godzilla 1998. That's my hi pitch sounds go to test. If Godzilla 1998 doesn't really wistle out of the things,then the highs are meh.
