Bose - QuietComfort Wireless Noise Cancelling Over-the-Ear Headphones - White Smoke

I rarely write product reviews for my purchases. However, on occasion, I will come across a product that warrants a review, whether it is positive or negative. With that being said, I am pleased to say this is one of my most positive reviews for a product, ever. I have struggled to find well-equipped, high-quality, ACTUAL noise-cancelling, over-the-ear headphones for so long due to my indecisive nature and lack of knowledge on what brand/type/cost is best for me. I usually struggle to the point of just giving up on choosing the best ones, I end up sticking with my ancient, slowly dying AirPods at the end of the day. That is not the case for this situation. I was so exhausted of using AirPods that don’t work half of the time and truthfully, the battery life was becoming non-existent without being on its charger. So, when I saw these Bose headphones went on sale at BestBuy, I sprung into action. I’ve used them consistently each day for about 2 months now. Switching over to these headphones has been an absolute game changer for me and my hectic daily schedule, as I am graduating veterinary school this May. The noise-cancelling power is wild! For example, a person could literally be screaming loudly behind me, and I would not hear even a peep, especially when I put them at the highest noise-cancelling setting. One of my favorite parts about these headphones is the ability to drown out any noise around me so I can focus on my paperwork, read, and study study study. I have always had an inability to stay on task since I was a child, and this annoying quirk resonates as trouble focusing and quieting my thoughts on to one solitary task/project at a time. These headphones have kicked my lack of attentiveness to the curb, and I now feel like I could get anything done with these magic little guys on my ears. The cool feature of these is the various noise modes that you can set them at depending on your needs or preferences in different settings. The modes include quiet (best noise-cancelling effect mode), aware (less noise-cancelling for better awareness of surroundings), music, home, relax, focus, commute (e.g., bus, train, airplane), workout, running, walking, working, and lastly, outdoor mode. You can easily switch between four different modes consecutively just by pushing the button that is conveniently on the backside of the left cuff. The left-sided button can be pressed and held down to readily access your shortcuts, such as Spotify or current battery level. It can also be used to mute a phone call, if needed, by pressing the respective left cuff button twice. There are three identical buttons on the outer portion of the right cuff that are used for: —> increasing/decreasing the volume —> pausing/playing the media (tap once on middle button) —> skipping to the next songs/episodes/etc. (tap twice on the middle button) —> tracking backwards to the previous song/episode/etc. (tap three times on the middle button) —> answering/declining phone calls Not to mention, these headphones hold a battery life like no freaking other. I have had them for two months and I have charged them fully ONCE? Like how does it do that? Nonetheless, I am obsessed with everything about my Bose headphones, starting with the aesthetically-pleasing minimalistic color, shape, weight, and comfortability they carry. Putting them on is like putting soft little sand-colored clouds on your ears. Feels like God himself could have crafted these bad boys when I wear them! Additionally, the headphones connect to a Bose app on your phone so you can adjust your listening preferences, bluetooth device connect-ability, and a multitude of other little intricacies that are extremely simple to navigate and change at any time you like. I am no Bose expert or product review specialist by any means, but I feel as though these deserve five stars for the impact they have made on my daily life! Bose products have become my Roman Empire. Thank you for listening and taking the time to read this. I hope my review will not cause you to have tunnel vision in what products are great vs others. Everyone has their own opinions, needs, and preferences, and I would hate for you to not love them as much as I love them. Overall, I hope that this review helps you decide what YOU want out of your next high-quality headphones purchase! Take care, and happy headphone hunting :)

As a medical student, one of the most important tools I rely on for success is a quiet, focused environment—something that is often hard to come by in the hustle and bustle of everyday life. That's why the Bose Over-Ear Noise Cancelling Headphones have been an absolute game-changer for me. Whether I'm reviewing lecture material, listening to podcasts, or cramming for board exams, these headphones provide the perfect balance of comfort, sound quality, and noise cancellation, all of which are essential for long study sessions. The active noise-canceling technology in these headphones is top-notch. It effectively drowns out background noise, allowing me to focus deeply on my medical coursework without any distractions. Whether I'm in a noisy library, a crowded café, or even my apartment with roommates, the Bose headphones create a silent bubble around me, giving me the mental clarity I need to absorb complex information. I can truly focus on the material at hand, be it pathology lectures or anatomy review, without getting distracted by ambient sounds. The sound quality is nothing short of amazing. The clarity and richness of the audio make listening to lectures feel like a premium experience. I can hear every word of a recorded lecture with crystal-clear precision, and the deep bass is perfect when I listen to calming music during breaks to recharge. This is crucial, especially for reviewing dense, fast-paced topics like pharmacology or surgery, where understanding every detail is key. Comfort is also a major selling point. I’ve worn these headphones for hours on end, and I never feel any discomfort. The plush ear cushions and adjustable headband ensure a snug yet comfortable fit, even during the longest study marathons. As someone who spends a lot of time in front of the computer or reviewing notes, having headphones that don’t cause any fatigue or discomfort is essential. In short, the Bose Over-Ear Noise Cancelling Headphones have become an indispensable part of my study routine. They allow me to create an ideal learning environment wherever I am, giving me the peace and focus I need to excel in medical school and prepare for board exams.
