I bought this Bose 700 brand new from Target and I returned it after using it for 30 min at home and went back and returned the Bose 700 and bought the Sony XM4! Much better in my opinion.
I have owned XM2 in the past and I thought Bose 700 would be the better choice this time but i was wrong.
Glad i got the Sony WH-1000XM4 now!!!

Voice calls are way better on these than the XM4s. I own the XM4s. Maybe I have a bad pair but they are pretty buggy.

Not as durable feeling as the qc35 and shorter battery life. But I loved these for it being a great multitude headset. The extra mics really block out background noises and people can barely hear me mechanical keyboard.

Yeah, voice quality is much better on these compared to xm4. I've tried xm4 twice but had to return because they are practically unusable for meetings. Have been using the refurb 700 for few months now. But xm4 was more comfortable and sound quality was a tad better too. If my primary use case was listening to music, I would have stayed with xm4.

If you have the xm4 don't buy this one, I have this headphone for 3 week now buy from costco its kinda terrible. The nc are really good its beat my xm3 a little bit but the sound on this one is so weak event you using the qc to tweak the sound it still really not that great the bass on this headphones are the worst its so weak when you turn the bass to the max its still so little and somehow its make all the sound so muddy this should just be around 200. Im waiting my new xm4 and then return this one.

Qc700 has lots of bugs, keeps disconnecting from microphone if you have intel+windows10 os. I can't even properly attend the meetings without issues for more than 20 mins, It gets disconnected abruptly.

I need to buy separate Bluetooth dongle to make it work for windows laptop.
With Mac no issues seen so far.

I made a phone call with my XM3s for the 1st time just yesterday. No issues whatsoever. The person on the other end didn't even know I was using wireless headphones. The sound was VERY clear on both ends. I usually use my WF-1000XM3 ear buds for calls. I bought my WH-1000XM3 headphones refurbished from Secondipity on eBay [ebay.com] in 2019. Since then, I've used them almost daily. I've actually travelled around the world with them. I've owned many headphones and these are the best I've owned. Before making my purchase, I read articles & reviews stating the XM3 has legendary noise cancellation. I can now attest to that first hand. The noise cancelling is absolutely phenomenal on the XM3. Additionally, the sound is superb and they're very comfortable, even for extended time periods (e.g. lots of movies on long flights). Eventually I'll graduate to the XM4s. For now, I HIGHLY recommend both the WH-1000XM3 and the WF-1000XM3. I've had a great experience with both of my refurbished sets.

How much better is the 700 compared to qc35 II for day to day use in a noisy office?

I know only one person could wear the headphones, but you didn't have to kill her when making the purchase!

have been using these for the last year on Teams calls, multiple hours each day. connectivity, range, audio and call quality are good. i don't however like the relative stiffness of the ear foam and warmth on my ears. i end up switching to airpods pro about halfway through each work day
