The Bose 700 Luxe Silver is Bose’s Noise Cancelling Headphones 700 in its light finish: a slim metal headband left bright, pale silver-grey earcups and matching cushions. Bose launched the 700 in 2019, and it is the generation before today’s QuietComfort Ultra line; what keeps it relevant is 11 adjustable levels of noise cancelling and an eight-microphone system built with phone calls in mind.

Bose 700 Luxe Silver: what the finish looks like
The 700 was a clean break from Bose’s older folding designs. A single slim metal band runs from earcup to earcup, and the earcups slide along it instead of hanging from plastic hinges. In Luxe Silver that band stays bright and the earcups and cushions are a soft silver-grey, so the headphone reads as a designed object rather than a black tool.
It suits people who work in bright offices, travel with silver laptops and light luggage, or simply want headphones that do not look like gaming gear. The trade-off is honest: pale cushions show make-up, hair products and fingerprints sooner than black. A slightly damp cloth, used regularly, keeps the Bose 700 Luxe Silver looking clean.
Eleven levels of noise cancelling
Noise cancelling on the Bose 700 Luxe Silver is not an on/off switch. Bose gives it 11 levels, from full transparency, which lets the room in, to full noise cancellation for aircraft cabins and open offices. Out of the box three favourites are set up for the noise cancelling button: full cancellation, some awareness and full transparency. The Bose app lets you pick any level and change which ones sit on the button.
Conversation mode is the practical extra. It pauses your audio and gives you full awareness at the same time, so you can answer a colleague or a cabin crew member without taking the headphones off.
Eight microphones and why calls sound clear
Bose describes eight microphones on the 700 platform. Six of them work on noise cancelling, and two of those combine with two more to pick up your voice. Separating the voice pickup from the noise cancelling job is what gave this headphone its reputation for calls in noisy places.
The Bose 700 Luxe Silver can be actively connected to two devices at a time, so a laptop and a phone can both stay paired and you do not have to reconnect when a call comes in. Bose quotes a Bluetooth range of up to 9 m (30 ft).
Battery, charging and the wired option
Bose rates a full charge at up to 20 hours of use. A full charge takes up to 2.5 hours through the USB-C port, and a 15-minute charge gives up to 3.5 hours. The headphones do not play audio or cancel noise while charging, so top them up before a flight rather than during it.
For devices without Bluetooth, such as some aircraft seat systems, or when the battery runs flat, Bose includes a 3.5 mm to 2.5 mm audio cable. The headphones switch themselves off after 1 hour without movement to save battery.
Controls, app and voice assistants
The right earcup takes touch gestures: double-tap to play or pause, swipe forward or back to skip tracks, and swipe up or down for volume. Physical buttons handle power and Bluetooth, noise cancelling and the voice assistant.
Through the Bose app you can set up Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa or your phone’s own voice control. With Bose SimpleSync the Bose 700 Luxe Silver can also connect to a Bose soundbar or Bose home speaker for private TV listening.
Where the Bose 700 sits in Bose’s range today
The Bose 700 Luxe Silver belongs to a generation that arrived in 2019. Bose’s current flagship is the QuietComfort Ultra line, which adds features such as immersive audio and, on the second generation, up to 30 hours of battery. The Bose 700 Luxe Silver does not try to match those; it is the previous generation with a distinctive design and one of Bose’s most call-focused microphone systems.
If calls, adjustable noise cancelling and a light, minimal look matter more to you than spatial audio, the Bose 700 Luxe Silver remains a sensible choice.
Who This Is Not For
Not for anyone who wants spatial or immersive audio, which the Bose 700 Luxe Silver does not offer. Not for heavy users who need more than 20 hours between charges, or who expect to keep listening while the headphones charge, since audio stops during charging.
Not a gym headphone: Bose publishes no water resistance rating and its guide warns against exposing the headphones to rain. The earcups rotate for storage but do not fold inward, so the case is larger than folding designs. The wired connection needs the included 2.5 mm cable rather than a standard 3.5 mm lead, and the pale Luxe Silver cushions show wear faster than black.
