After years of liking my QC35s, I bought a pair of Bose 700 noise canceling headphones on spec. 24 hours in, I do think they are better, and IMO they are the best coding and plane headphones!

1. The noise cancelling is even more isolating. Sitting at my desk, these 700s basically lock out the outside world. Noticeably stronger than the QC35 II, which were the best I could find before.

2. The controls are nice. I can temporarily quieten to hear someone speak. There's a touch sensor for play controls. Works great and doesn't accidentally pause play like the B&O headphones I've tried.

3. The sound response is very even. I tried them on the mastering station in my recording studio this morning and I had no trouble EQing low or high ends and hearing compression settings I was messing with.

4. Charges from USB-C now, which is a plug for me and one fewer cable to carry! Still won't let me listen while charging though, which is a bummer on long plane journeys.

I wonder why. My QuietComfort 20s charge and run at the same time. And do you mean can't charge and listen or can't charge and have it run noise cancelling? Can you listen if the battery is dead?

Plugging in a USB-C cable seems to completely disable them. No sound, no noise cancelling. But I haven't tried with a jack plugged in, that might go direct to the drivers. Time to experiment!

O.k. I tried using the jack instead of bluetooth and no difference. Plugging in the cable turns everything off.

I wonder if it's a regulatory/safety thing, to discourage us from having an explosive battery charging at high current strapped to our heads.

Maybe. The QC20 battery pack is next to the plug, far away from my head!
