As your customer deciding between the Bose 700 and the Jaybird Vista 2, consider the following: Bose 700 headphones offer top-notch noise cancellation, comfort for long periods, and are ideal for a premium listening experience in quiet environments. They also have better call quality. However, they're bulkier and significantly more expensive. On the other hand, Jaybird Vista 2 earbuds are more compact, great for an active lifestyle, and have a rugged, waterproof build making them suitable for exercise and outdoor activities. They're also more affordable but don't offer the same level of sound quality and noise cancellation as the Bose 700. Give Feedback

"Bose took active noise canceling and made it mainstream but eventually, the market caught up. Well, it seems like Bose was listening, because the Noise Canceling Headphones 700 is a complete redesign of its iconic product. The Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700 have a new design, improved sound quality, a touch-sensitive gesture pad for playback controls, and even USB-C charging."

"Compared to the original Vista, the Jaybird Vista 2 adds some key features including ANC and SurroundSense to control how much environmental noise you hear. If you're an athlete and are looking for rugged earbuds with tons of customization options, the Jaybird Vista 2 makes for a good option—but only if you are able to achieve a proper fit from the proprietary ear tips."
