Because at least I could understand that, besides the best sound quality for computer platforms, the quality of the 700 headset is exactly the same as UC. Am I right? Tks!
If you don't plan to use your headphones for the computer, the quality will be exactly the same. If you do plan to connect with your computer for work calls/meetings or listening to music from the computer, you want to go with the UC version.
@@HeadsetAdvisor oh, yes… I will definitely listen to music from my computer. I wouldn’t use for meeting calls. In that case, I think I’ll go with the UC version, but I have to say it’s a bit boring.

@@HeadsetAdvisor OK so sounds quality is poor with USB link than Bluetooth which was unexpected. Also I see no improvement in mic. There are many people on the reddit saying the same thing. Search it.
My post on reddit: ok, so the main problem using a USB link with windows is that it goes in 'call' mode. If you disable the mic (change mic to internal or any other external mic) and just use the USB link for sound output in windows settings it sounds good (same as how it sounds when connected to Bluetooth). This is because two-way channel transmission lowers the quality as your use the mic as input and get sound back as output (note: this is for windows. MAC OS may perform better. Try it) Real use: Teams- Let's say you have a meeting. Turn on the mic and use it as normal. After the meeting, if you decided to listen to the music/media again you have to disable the mic as mentioned in the above paragraph. Conclusion: Not at all worth the $70+tax. In fact, reviews on CZcams are so paid that it feels like we watched the TV commercial and emptied our wallets. I got it in student discount so I am going to keep it just for picking up calls.
@@747lalit thanks for sharing your thoughts. Unfortunately any headset we’ve tested, they all seem to perform this way. When listening to music, If you change the microphone setting to something aside from Bose, the speakers give you the stereo sound. With the mic set it goes back to call mode for better call quality. A solution we’ve found is customers can use headphones of their choice and add the Modmic here to get stereo sound plus great microphone sound czcams.com/video/Tut1KDa_S3M/video.html Something to consider in the future.

@@HeadsetAdvisor but does it work the same if bought separately, currently i can the 700s at a very good price in a physical store, if I but the dongle separately do they turn into 700 UC or do they have completely different softwares and it doesnt work as semleassly
Does anyone know if the mute button is working on Zoom?
Hi Alfred, we've confirmed you'll be able to mute/unmute your mic from the headset when using Zoom.
@@HeadsetAdvisor thank you very much for the confirmation!
Is it just me or the audio is constantly breaking in the video? It shouldn't sound like this.
The audio is constantly breaking up in this video. You are not crazy. I just ordered a pair of the Bose 700 UC headphones. It better not do this when I get them or I will be reselling them immediately. I don't have time for audio cracking up either.
Damn that was a pretty big difference in voice and background noise cancellation. Thanks for the demo, gonna grab a pair
Glad you found the video helpful! You can find the headset on our website here: headsetadvisor.com/products/bose-700-uc-wireless-headphones-with-anc?_pos=2&_sid=89bce44df&_ss=r

30 second video that took 8 minutes.
Thanks for watching!
Just placed the order of 700 UC
Nice! Let us know how you like it
@@HeadsetAdvisor OK so sounds quality is poor with USB link than Bluetooth which was unexpected. Also I see no improvement in mic. There are many people on the reddit saying the same thing. Search it.
My post on reddit:
ok, so the main problem using a USB link with windows is that it goes in 'call' mode. If you disable the mic (change mic to internal or any other external mic) and just use the USB link for sound output in windows settings it sounds good (same as how it sounds when connected to Bluetooth). This is because two-way channel transmission lowers the quality as your use the mic as input and get sound back as output (note: this is for windows. MAC OS may perform better. Try it)
Real use: Teams- Let's say you have a meeting. Turn on the mic and use it as normal. After the meeting, if you decided to listen to the music/media again you have to disable the mic as mentioned in the above paragraph.
Conclusion: Not at all worth the $70+tax. In fact, reviews on CZcams are so paid that it feels like we watched the TV commercial and emptied our wallets. I got it in student discount so I am going to keep it just for picking up calls.
@@747lalit thanks for sharing your thoughts. Unfortunately any headset we’ve tested, they all seem to perform this way.
When listening to music, If you change the microphone setting to something aside from Bose, the speakers give you the stereo sound. With the mic set it goes back to call mode for better call quality.
A solution we’ve found is customers can use headphones of their choice and add the Modmic here to get stereo sound plus great microphone sound czcams.com/video/Tut1KDa_S3M/video.html
Something to consider in the future.
Like damn dude! Are you ever going to get to the review
Haha we just wanted to warm you up to get to the good part 😄 We don't disagree with your point though. This was one of our older videos and have learned a lot since then, so our newer videos are a lot shorter and more straight to the point because of feedback like yours :)
That audio quality is astoundingly BAD....i don't understand...for a company that make best aviation headsets and can't get simple work headset right...such a shame.
The content is OK. BUT use better Equipment for making your Videos.
How is the quality of our latest video here? czcams.com/video/_2hTL7bU-sE/video.html
This audio is torture dude. Seriously wtf
🤨
Haha!! What a pile of crap!! Those sound terrible. Glad I saw this. No Bose for me
Give the Orosound Tilde pro a look. Might be better for you.
God it’s almost like you’re listening to it through a phone speaker 😂
