Yes—buy a used Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700 if the price is clearly lower than newer premium ANC headphones and the unit is in excellent condition. It’s still a strong used buy for noise cancellation, call quality, comfort, and everyday listening.

Before buying, check these things:

  1. Battery health: confirm it holds a long charge; battery wear is the biggest used-headphone risk.
  2. Ear pads and headband: look for peeling, flattening, odors, or cracks; worn pads can hurt comfort and ANC.
  3. ANC and microphones: test noise cancelling levels and make a phone/voice recording if possible.
  4. Bluetooth and controls: verify pairing, touch controls, buttons, charging port, and app connection.
  5. Included case/cable: not essential, but missing accessories should lower the price.

Skip it if the seller can’t confirm battery condition, the pads are badly worn, or the price is close to newer alternatives.
