Usually the price hovers around $140-150 for new ones. These have pretty decent reviews and can also be bought for $150 (with EPP) at Samsung.com

Last time these were on sale at woot (Dec 25) were for $120 so this is a better price.

I own these headphones and they are a steal for $100. Earlier this year I thought I would audition Bose and Sony comparable headphones. It is true that the these don't kill outside sound as well and they can be a little tight on your head. The sound though is much better then Sony. Sony sounds thick and muddy sounding compared. The treble and midrange are much clearer on the 700s. The Bose were much closer in sound but not quite there. , buy these for music and video. I think they have a much better overall presentation music wise. Movie wise they have very good bass and voices are clear and understandable. The Bluetooth works well and at quite a distance too. Don't buy these for the tech qualities, buy these for the sound quality. For 100 you will be hard pressed to beat them.

I own a pair and like them a lot. I think they are a bargain at $100.

BUT, you would be foolish to take the word of a random internet post like this one. Search N700NC2 for easy to find reviews including those from PC Mag and the strange but entertaining What HiFi. They originally were priced around $300.

I bought it. Let's see how it compares to the Sony H.ear ON v1 and the Aiwa BT headphones.

Why would they do that... That may actually turn some people off. There are plenty of Sammy haters out there. 🤷 ♂️

There is a woot comment that these are the 2nd gen version of the N700NC (M2), which is missing a TruNote feature that the 1st gen ("M1") had. Looks like the M2 has USB-C charging instead of micro USB on the M1. Does anyone know what other differences there are between the two? Anyone who has both version that can chime in?

These are good for the price. Sound isolation is better than ok and the quality is good too. The battery dies quickly. With ANC on I'd get about 5-6 hours. Keep in mind that these are NOT natively compatible with Macs and also they can only pair to one device at a time.

I recently upgraded to Sony X4s from these and am far more pleased. while about 3x the price, the value was there for my use case scenario (better noise cancellation, constantly switching between devices, auto-pause on phone call, media stops when taking them off, mac compatibility), But I know for most this is more than a great headset.

How does these compare to the $129 Sony headphones from Costco, WH-H910N?

I based my purchase off this Reddit review:

I purchased the jbl live 500 and never want to buy another pair of over the head headphones again. Especially from any company associated with jbl.

My only issue with these is it doesn't go over the ears very well. After awhile they hurt.

Do you have the 1st gen or the 2nd gen M2 version (that woot is selling) of these headphones? The M2 has multi point connectivity so it should be able to connect to two devices at once.

There are some Youtube videos comparing the two. The M2 is supposed to have better sound and some more features. I own the first version and I like it very much. Sound is very clear and with EQ, the bass isnt emphasized but sounds tight and punchy without sounding muddled. The X2HR's I just bought doesn't sound as nice as my NC700.

I'd be all over this if I didn't not need headphones atm.
