Description
Features
Now with better quiet.
Acclaimed Noise Cancelling — it started right here with the original QuietComfort headphones. With an additional external microphone (six total) and enhanced signal processing, QC45 wireless headphones cancel out noise so it doesn’t reach your ears.
More music. Greater awareness of your surroundings.
Aware Mode brings the outside world in with microphones that pick up the sounds around you and play them naturally through the wireless headphones. It’s your music and your environment at the same time.
Your music. In high-fidelity.
TriPort acoustic architecture vents the earcups to add depth and fullness without increasing their size. Adjustable EQ allows you to set the bass, mid-range, and treble levels to your personal preferences or select one of several preset options.
More music from longer battery life.
QuietComfort 45 over-ear headphones give you more play time than their predecessor, with up to 22 hours of battery life on a single charge.* And they charge via USB-C in up to 2.5 hours. A quick, 15-minute charge gives you up to 3 hours of play time.
Clearer conversations every time.
The improved voice pickup of QC45 Bluetooth headphones exceeds the competition. With the addition of a fourth external microphone, the headphones better focus on your voice. Plus, a noise-rejecting algorithm filters out environmental sounds for clearer conversations.
Customized control.
The Bose app walks you through guided setup, making it easy to get started. Plus, access all noise cancellation settings, manage your Bluetooth connections, enable a shortcut, and more.
New and improved comfortable headphones that last.
Updated design features smooth, pleatless cushions and earcup caps. Synthetic leather, impact-resistant nylon, and custom cast-metal hinges provide comfort and durability. Add minimal clamping force, and you might forget you’re wearing them.
Bose SimpleSync technology
You can pair your headphones with select Bose smart soundbars for a personal TV listening experience. Independent volume controls allow you to lower or mute your soundbar while keeping your headphones as loud as you like. Connect at the press of a button.

Best headphones I’ve ever owned, hands down
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Honestly the best purchase I’ve made for music/gaming in a while. I’m super picky so I HAD to go around and fit test new headphones. When I tried these on in store I was a little concerned that they only felt so good because they had been “broken in” but I was happily surprised when I got home with mine. Very comfy right out of the box. I absolutely love the comfort of these headphones. I have quite a few ear piercings as well as stretched ears, so finding something that didn’t press on my ears too hard was difficult, but I found it! I love that they seal right up to my ear so I don’t lose any sound quality, but they’re so soft they never leave my ears aching from pushing on the jewelry. Battery life is great considering the work these guys put in to deliver such great audio. I’ve only had to charge mine a handful of times and they’re in pretty frequent use. The noise block on these also… INCREDIBLE! I have hard wood floors and can always hear my dogs’ nails tapping as they walk… even with nothing playing I can barely hear them with these on, so yeah, needless to say, amazing headphones, definitely worth the purchase.

Unmatched Comfort and Exceptional Sound Quality
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was blown away by the experience Bose QuietComfort headphones provided. These headphones have set a new standard for comfort and sound quality, making them a must-have for any audio enthusiast or frequent traveler. First and foremost, the comfort level of the Bose QuietComfort headphones is unparalleled. The plush, cushioned ear cups gently cradle your ears, creating a seal that effectively blocks out external noise without causing discomfort. I could wear these headphones for hours on end without any fatigue or soreness, making them perfect for long flights, train rides, or even just relaxing at home. The noise-canceling technology on the QuietComfort headphones is simply astonishing. As soon as I turned them on, the outside world seemed to fade away. The noise-canceling feature effortlessly silenced all distractions, allowing me to enjoy my audio content in pure serenity. Now, let's talk about sound quality. Bose has always been known for its exceptional audio engineering, and the QuietComfort headphones are no exception. The sound is crisp, clear, and incredibly balanced across the entire frequency spectrum. The bass response is deep and punchy, while the midrange and treble frequencies remain detailed and accurate. I found myself rediscovering my favorite songs as I heard new nuances and subtleties that I had never noticed before. Furthermore, the built-in controls on the ear cups are intuitive and easy to use. With a simple touch or swipe, you can adjust the volume, skip tracks, and even answer phone calls. The headphones also come with a companion app that allows you to personalize your listening experience by fine-tuning the noise cancellation levels and accessing additional features. Bose has truly thought of everything to provide a seamless and user-friendly experience. Lastly, the battery life on the QuietComfort headphones is impressive. With up to 20 hours of continuous playback, I never had to worry about running out of power during my travels. Additionally, the quick-charge feature gave me several hours of listening time with just a 15-minute charge, which is incredibly convenient. Bose QuietComfort headphones are a remarkable piece of audio technology that delivers on all fronts. Their exceptional comfort, powerful noise cancellation, superb sound quality, and convenient features make them a top choice for anyone seeking the ultimate listening experience. Whether you're a music lover, frequent traveler, or someone who appreciates high-quality audio, these headphones will not disappoint. Invest in the Bose QuietComfort headphones, and you'll elevate your audio enjoyment to a whole new level. Our cat loves them too ;)

Best Headphone I will ever own
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound is absolutely amazing! Noise cancellation is incredible. I can put these headphones on with no sound and drowned out the noise around me. Works perfect when I need peace and quiet but kids are yelling and screaming at each other. Very comfortable. Adjustable so they are not loose and fall off. Syncs super easy to all my devices including Alexa. Holds a charge like no other. Had them in my gym bag for weeks without using and still had 80% charge when I turned them back on.

Best headphone look no where else
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Guys just do not think of any other headphone other than this. I gifted it to my wife and she fell in love with it. She says when she wears it it takes her to whole new world. She forgets she has a family ;-) these are so good. I have myself used it and its simply good. I have also heard the beats studion pro. This headphone way ahead of those. Sony the 299 one its better than them too. This does not hurt the ears at all even at loud sound. Not sure what magic these bose guys have done. Simply listen celen dion the titanic song as an example. Finally in one word its the best with the vakue of $199, its a steal.

Comfy headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was actually kind of hesitant to buy these as they were more expensive compared to other headphones, but they’re actually pretty nice. Could you get better headphones at a cheaper price? Probably. The bass on these are kind of meh, but the noise canceling is great. I didn’t even know my younger brother was banging on my door and yelling at me for like 7 minutes until he told me, lol. They’re also super comfy, and really cute.

Good deal.
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great headphones, very lightweight (no discomfort after long periods of use), yet durable. AMAZING sound quality without the nosy outside world. The best part about this it is that I bought it on sale at half price. Hold a charge for a respectable amount.

For the regular headphone user
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was on a plane and my cheap wireless earbuds stopped working. So, when I got home I spent a couple of days researching what to get. Idk about you, but $400 for headphones is crazy too much unless you need them for work. What I wanted was something I can wear for a couple of hours without feeling like my ears are on fire. Something that has good noise cancellation but wasn’t a car payment on my head. I bought these because they seemed like the best for the least. I then told a friend I was in the market and he gave me a brand new pair from another company. I’m so glad I got these. The other pair didn’t have the richness of sound. The highs weren’t as high and the bass wasn’t as rich and pure. My ears and top of my head are comfy. They also change with a usb-c charger. They’re not the most expensive, but they’re worth every penny.

Quiet, great sound, comfortable, affordable!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are the best headphones I've owned. Very quiet even when the TV, fans and outside noises are happening at once. They are light and comfortable as I often wear them to watch movies. The interface App for connecting is easy and convenient. The price is very good for the value and quality you get. I would highly recommend the Bose QuietComfort 45's to anyone looking for top notch headphones.

Q: QuestionDoes this set(QC45) need an adapter to connect with the TV screen on airplanes? Is it included? I saw an adapter when I looked at the QC35II, will it work with this model?
Asked by TravelTwo.
- A:Answer I think you mean the normal 3.5mm jack/cable which you use when Bluetooth wireless is not available. Yes this cable is included with the QC45 as well as the QC35II.
Answered by RalphHenry
Q: QuestionDo these switch automatically between iphone/ipad/macbook etc without having to disconnect from the other device? is an app required for connection?
Asked by BTango.
- A:Answer They can hold 8 devices in memory and once you turn on your headphones it will tell you the name of the device its paired to. If you need one of your other devices just slide the Bluetooth switch within 2 seconds to have it cycle through your connected devices until it says the name of the one you want. Its actually pretty easy!

Q: QuestionCan you connect the QuietComfort 45 headphones with a USB type C to USB Type C cable? I have a Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra, so no headphone port on the phone. I know that you can use Bluetooth but sometimes I forget to charge my headphones.
