Wireless headphones and earbuds are rapidly becoming our defacto choice of audio companion thanks to their wire-free convenience.

The Bose Noise Cancelling Headphone 700 may be the latest and greatest, but don’t count the company’s QC35 II out just yet. At $50 less than Bose’s new flagship, these mainstay cans still make the most sense for most people. We’ll explore just why that is in this review.
