Some research for those too lazy to compare the QC45 vs 700:

700
Flagship model, but older than qc45
Metal headband
More elegant design
Ear foam cups are stiffer and sweatier than qc45
5.0 bluetooth vs 5.1 on qc45
21hr battery life vs 24 hrs on qc45
15 min charge=120min playback
More frequency range


Qc45

More comfortable (it's in the name!)
15 min charge =180min playback
Slightly better ANC than 700
Overemphasizes higher frequencies which makes some music sound harsh - can be adjusted in equalizer

Soundguys gives the slight edge to the 700's. But factor in the extra $40 and not worth it for me. The qc45's have more pros in the categories I care about more.

Highly recommend waiting. I recently got the QC45 from Costco (new) for $200. Costco's forever warranty (I checked with worker) is significantly better than whatever this is and it's new.
They're refurbished by Bose. I'd trust that more than Secondipity which has been hit or miss for me.

I don't need any but gave it a try because it is a great deal but HEADSTART didn't work for me on the QC45 and the 700. Not sure if I did something wrong.

Is the 700 worth buying over the qc45?

I like my xm5. I use it at the office but I do wonder how QC45 would fare against it.
