Their sound is generally balanced and able to function across genres without a lot of adjustments. Their headphones are also quite portable and durable making them an excellent choice for trips.

Bose headphones are famous for their noise cancellation. The NCH700s come with 10 levels of noise cancellation, which is impressive even at the highest level.

Two of the microphones also serve as noise-rejection sensors to eliminate background hiss and echo when calling.
