Bose Noise Cancelling 700 Wireless Headphones (Refurbished) Expired

I did a ton of research and bought multiple different headphones (the XM4, QC 35 II, AirMax Pro, and WH-XB900N) - I also tried a bunch in the stores. I ended up with these as my primary and the WH-XB900N I gave to my girlfriend.

QC 35 II - is out - just inferior and not worth it vs. cost
The XM4 - is legit on-par with these but its pretty expensive
The Airpods Pro - best feel, easiest to use, but way too expensive. They're maybe 10% better for 125% the price - also out in my book.
The WH XB900N - is almost half the price of the XM4 (I got it for $150 new) - Id take these over the XM4s just feel less premium holding but not around the ears
The NC 700 - hands down feel the most premium, smaller cups (so if you have big ears not going to work), and great sound quality

I ended up buying refurbished after researching it, they're refurbished by Bose completely new and backed by warranty. I got them for ~$200 I have had them for 6 months super happy with them, I also gave the XB900N to my girlfriend and use occasionally, if you are price conscious I would definitely go with those; sound the best IMO and have almost all the same features.

If you want something premium just because, these are hands down the best choice. They basically are new, the cups/case are new and at $200 they're like $150 less than the XM4 (same quality), $300 less than Airpods Pro (slightly below that quality), and only $50 higher than XB900N (slightly worse quality)

For price to performance/quality this is hands down the winner

Hopefully that helps!

I have the Bose NC 700s for a while. One thing I don't see get mentioned often is the call quality of these are way better than any of the other options out there. These have noise cancelling microphones so you could talk beside a lawnmower and the other party won't even hear the lawnmower. Happened to me and I use these extensively while travelling and taking office calls.
