Hello. If you are reading this, you are probably doing it because of the title. I have autism. If you also have autism, these headphones are definitely worth trying out. First of all, the problem with most (all others that I have tried) over-ear headphones—for a person on the spectrum, or someone with sensory issues—is that they tend to fit like a vice grip on my head. It’s an incredibly uncomfortable feeling and I inevitably end up hating all other over-ear headphones that I have tried before this pair. Why are these different? If you will notice, the over-ear piece of the equipment is not 100% attached to the over-the-head band; they are flexible. This is a key feature of the design that applies specifically to autism. These headphones are honestly THE MOST COMFORTABLE (i use all caps because I cried the first time I put them on, it was that amazing) headphones I have ever had the pleasure of wearing; they fit like a f***ing glove! I use caps and profanity because I’m emotional about how amazing these headphones are.
Okay, that brings me to design feature number two: the noise canceling. Oh. My. Sweet. Jesus. I sobbed the first time I turned on the noise canceling. I was sitting in bed with my weighted blanket (guys, I’m going through some repressed memories so the stress is at an all-time high right now) and I put these one to drown out the sound of my (also autistic) son and whatever other noises were happening in our small apartment. It was like a freakin dove descended from heaven to relieve my senses of the constant oppression they experience on a daily basis, that I have learned to ignore after 33 years of dealing with it (I am 33 years old). But, as the book says, “the body keeps the score,” right? Oh my word. My body instantly relaxed like it was at a f***ing spa! In the middle of my tiny apartment. With my child screaming in the other room. Silence. Total silence. Inner peace. Transcendence. All of the above. It was amazing. If you are looking for noise canceling performance, these have it in spades (I make no comparison to other brands because I have not tried many over $300 headphones).
Okay, lets move on. The third feature that is amazing: battery life. These puppies last and last and last. I wore them for two days straight with out needing to charge until the end of day two. I have never experienced that level of battery performance from any other headphones so color me impressed.
In conclusion, these headphones are the most amazing thing I own. Not even kidding. No exaggeration. I’m in love. I carry so much less stress knowing that by simply putting these on I can escape the constant onslaught of sensory information I receive on a daily basis. Even if I’m not wearing them, just knowing that I have this option sometimes makes all the difference. If you have autism, or are sensitive to auditory stimulation, definitely give these babies a try. In my opinion, they are worth every penny. Thank you for reading. I hope you enjoyed my perspective.

Patience pays off. Another good set of Bose!
Update- Three years later and these headphones are still going strong.I love my music to be clean and balanced, without a lot of outside noise interference. So I purchased these Bose NC700's, which is the 4th set of Bose handsets that I own (all working fine). But excited about the brand since an old girlfriend gave the first QC15's. The QC 25's, 35ii, and this NC700, have been excellent headphones for travel, and just for cutting the grass, if need me.I had tried the Sony series, but I had problems with the touch controls. The NC700's also have touch controls, but came out after the Sony's, so it seems Bose managed to correct the problem, that I experienced with the Sony headphone.Sound quality is clean, crisp and clear. The way I like it. NOTE- No Bose headphone I have ever owned (4 devices) has been a bass champ, but that is fine with me. The blue-tooth devices I can connect it to are capable of kicking up the bass, when I want that. The sound quality and noise cancellation was no better or worse than the QC 35ii's.Using It- It takes a little getting use to that when you slide the earcups up and down that they don't have any detents to click on as they move. Also, they do not fold down as compactly as my other Bose headphones, so I am extra careful with them. I've done a back to back comparison and quite honestly, I like the way the pads of the Bose QC 35ii, fit around my ear better. The QC 35ii pads appear to be flatter (or maybe I've just worn them down), so they mold to my head better. I also like the headband feel better.Phone calls- The main advantage of these compared to the QC 35ii, is the quality of the phone call, that can be made when they are turned on. To test it out, I watched private jets depart at my local airport from the observation stand. When I received a phone call, the caller had no idea that I was in a noisy environment. It wasn't until a plane came real close, that they finally said, "what's that sound in the background".Setup is a pain- These require that you download their Bose Music app, before they will connect to your device. Ridiculous. It took several attempts before I got it to work. Most headphones, you tell your blue tooth device to search for the headphone and you are done.Summary- When purchased at a good price, these are very good noise cancellation headphones. Even CR gives them a better rating than their XM4 equivalents. However, I am cheap. I will never pay $350 to $400 for anyone's headphones. But I got these on the Prime Day Sale for about $230 and have added them to my Bose collection. They will be used mainly for travel, with the QC35ii's relegated to everyday house and yard use.Bose headphones are good. This is my 5th set and I've no complaints. WAIT! Yes, I do! Battery life is not high on any of the wireless Bose. About 20hrs, but at least these tell you how many hours you have left. I have other headphone Wyze and Anker, they will run for 30 to 40 hrs, but they are NOT Bose.

The Sony xm4 is wayyyyy overpriced for this peace of plastic they feel cheap and sound not that good for the price.
The QC 45 have an excellent noice cancelation but the treble is very bad and the problem is you can adjust the sound.
Finally The Bose ANC 700.This headphones is awesome, If you can Have it in sale (I got it with an 180 dollars discount) that a very great investment and it totally worth it, the sound canceling is wonderful not as good as the Bose Qc45 but the difference is not big. The comfort is good but not as great as the Bose QC45, I didn’t said that they are not comfortable but just different. And finally the sound quality is almost the same as the QC45 or 35 but with less treble and that’s what I like, anyway you can adjust the sound for what you like. In conclusion a very good pair of headphones that will do job for everyone and every days I personally think 479 dollars Canadian without tax is a bit expensive but if you have a sale goooo you are going to like them.

Ótimo microfone e cancelamento de ruído, design bonito, bateria dura bastante. Mas um pouco pesado.

O que gostei: O cancelamento de ruído é maravilhoso, não apenas pra mim, mas para quem está no meu call. Meu marido divide o escritório em casa comigo e também fica muito tempo em reuniões. Antes, com os AirPods Pro, quem estava na minha reunião conseguia ouví-lo, mas com o Bose 700, não mais. O som é claro, e quem me ouve, alega que o microfone é ótimo (essa era minha maior preocupação). O design é lindo demais, o tom rosé com branco é muito chique, e ele é bem almofadado, inclusive na haste. A bateria dura bastante (umas 18 horas) e também carrega rápido (acho que duraria mais se usado apenas como fone para música). A conexão bluetooth é ótima, não tive problemas (eu tenho um MacBook Pro, conectou tranquilo). Não cheguei a parear com meu iPhone, então não sei se o recurso de mudança de um dispositivo para outro funciona bem. Eu usei em alguns momentos para ver uns videos de música no YouTube (depois de muitas reuniões, é bom pra espairecer!) e gostei bastante da qualidade do som.
O que não gostei: Quando ele é ligado, toca um tone, fala quanto tem de bateria restante, e fala em qual dispositivo ele se conectou. É um recurso legal, mas quando a gente precisa entrar logo na reunião, irrita, pois ele não começa a funcionar até acabar essa introdução. Ele é um pouco pesado, depois de umas duas horas seguidas, começa a incomodar um pouco no topo da cabeça (apesar de bem almofadado). Eu uso óculos então, às vezes, aperta um pouco nas laterais também. Mas nada disso abala a minha satisfação com o produto. Super recomendo.
