Best Bluetooth headphones: Sound quality may be dubious, but there are some great options

Although Bluetooth audio quality can't hold a candle to wired options, it's convenient for most and preferred by many. Seeing as the consumer market is settling comfortably around wireless earbuds and headphones, we present to …

Bose AR keeps users engaged in reality while providing auditory information to enhance an experience and was used by the Coachella 2019 app. This gave attendees with Bose Frames access to select audio content. Bose asserts this technology will facilitate new ways to travel, exercise, and learn with our ears rather than our eyes. It's not just limited to the Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700, though. Bose QC 35 II owners can also use it via the proprietary app. Functionality, however, may vary across devices.

Other features of the already anticipated headset include Conversation Mode, which pauses music and allows external noise in. This way users can respond to a train conductor with minimal disruption. Additionally, they include a four-microphone array to simultaneously transmit your voice while cancelling ambient noise. As it stands, the Sony WH-1000xM3 mic setup outperforms the Bose QuietComfort 35 II. The Bose Headphones 700, however, seem promising.

Listeners also benefit from Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant integration, touch controls, and a streamlined design with stainless steel components. The Headphones 700 retain a portable design as the ear cups can lay flat or rotate upward for storage in an included tapered case. Battery life is listed at 20 hours, and the headphones will be available in black and Luxe Silver.

The headphones include 11 levels of noise which can be adjusted depending on your surroundings.

Both Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa are integrated.

Pre-orders are open now, priced at $399.95. The headphones will be available on June 30. This is the first of three new Bose noise cancelling headphones. The true wireless Bose Earbuds 500 are expected to be available this year, while the Bose Noise Cancelling Earbuds 700 will be available next year. We'll be sure to keep you updated regarding future announcements.
