Customer Ratings & Reviews

That’s all I bought these for, for flying and man do they work well at noise canceling. I even slip them on and cancel noise in the terminals to shut off the sounds of people. Travel will forever be changed and more relaxing. I can be surrounded and still feel isolated with these.

I tried these on at the store. Comfortable, clean, good quality. I have extremely loud upstairs neighbors that are on their way out, so they've become even louder. Watching TV or playing video games is no longer an option with the surround system as turning it up loud enough to drown them out would cause issues with my other neighbors. Unfortunately, this is the route I've had to take. Even at a 350$ price point, they're worth it. I can run the washer, dryer, and dishwasher all at the same time and it drown them almost completely out. When I'm watching movies I swear an actual bomb could go off in my building and I wouldn't know. They do let your voice in, and if someone else is close enough, their voice. But for ambient apartment noise, or bitterly evicted neighbors, you don't even know it's there. They sound great for movies and video games, haven't tried music. One note, if you're using the Bluetooth portion for watching video, there is about a 50 millisecond delay. Unless you have an audio delay that goes into negative numbers, there is no fix. (It's the picture that needs to be delayed for this to work, not the audio). It bothers me with movies too much, so I had to get a 15 ft audio cord. It corrects the problem perfectly. For video games he Bluetooth is fine for me. For music it would be a non issue, because the music doesn't have to line up with any video. This isn't Bose fault. The Bluetooth tech and lack of audio advancement or picture delay tech on the TV's is the problem. Like I said, buy a cord, or learn to live with a delay. The active sound deadening is what sells these, and it's worth every penny.

I got these for my boyfriend for Valentine’s Day. He is big into music and also records. He was skeptical about wireless- what if they don’t connect? What if the range sucks? Won’t they die fast? These things kept their charge for DAYS even with continuous use. He sleeps with them on they’re so comfortable, and missed his alarm because the noise canceling is amazing! He’s impressed and has used them daily!

Very comfortable. Great sound. Comes with a good case to store and transport the headphones. Love the Bluetooth connection for wireless listening. The USB cable to recharge the headphones is super short. You can't recharge and wear the headphones at the same time. There is a cord to connect for wired listening. The cord is a bit short but will do the job in a pinch. Noise cancellation does not work when tethered. I wear the headphones nearly all day at work to block out distractions and I absolutely love them. Its one of the best "electronics" purchases I have ever made. Its the length of the USB charging cord and the fact that noise cancellation does not work when tethered that keeps me from giving a 5 star rating.

I(reeeeaaallly) love my AirPods. Unfortunately, they are not noise cancelling nor do they stay in my ears in bed. Since buying these, I only use my AirPods in public spaces so that I can hear what is going on around me. I use these headphones every single night for podcasts that help me sleep and anytime I do meditation. They have an auto off feature with a few time settings to choose from. I set the sleep timer on my phone and the headphones shut off 5 minutes after the phone stops playing. The battery life is beyond what I imagined. I use them a few hours a day and charge them once a week, sometimes I get 11-12 days before they're at 10%. Having owned 3 pair prior (2 Skullcandy, 1 Sony) I can say these are the best all around. They can connect to two devices so that saves time when switching between my phone and computer. One of my favorite uses is during Independence Day or party night at my neighbors. I connect them to my tv and they block out the world. They're simply one of the best pieces of tech I've ever spent money on.

I have earlier Bose headphones that I liked a lot. I like this new pair even more. It still has the wonderful Bose sound quality, and now I can continue listening even if the full charge is depleted. There isn’t any noise reduction at that point, but if you are traveling, it’s nice you don’t lose all functionality like would occur in my older headphones. Great fit for even my extra large head!

Would highly recommend. Purchased these for myself not too long ago, liked them so much, I purchased for a present for someone. Great sound & bass. Sits comfortable on ears & head. Very light. Pricey but worth it. Tried the Beats but there is no comparison, the Bose are the reigning champ.

If you frequently travel by plane, commute, enjoy listening to music, or just want to escape a noisy environment, these headphones are for you. • Easy to use. • Light, compact and foldable, and comfortable • The sound quality is great and the noise-cancelling is second to none. • Can connect multiple devices simultaneously. • Long battery life. • Bose provides a nice protective travel case.

I missed my old pair of Bose I heavily used them to the point the wiring was stripped and broken. I really enjoy the Bluetooth feature because I can wirelessly attach them to any other device that has Bluetooth. I no longer have to carry a device around with me. On comfort, Bose is the best in comfort and noise canceling.

I was going back and forth over these and the Sony headphones and decided on these, so comfortable and I absolutely love the sound,more balanced with lows and highs then the Sony's were in my opinion. And I love how I wear these while walking to work and home and don't even notice I have them on cause they are so light and comfortable.. definitely recommend and im a satisfied customer.. thanks Bose

I have used many noise cancelling headphones and this pair is a dream. The battery life is amazing. I didn't need to recharge during a 15+ hour flight to Australia. The noise canceling feature works better than any headphones I've owned in the past. They are lightweight and only a bit bulky for this style. Fast recharging using USB and can be connected to inflight TV system using the audio cord provided.

These are great headphones. Noise cancelling is top notch and they are very comfortable. The only areas for improvement would be the battery life and bluetooth connection. I tested these against another pair of similar headphones from a different company and chose these because of the far superior noise cancelling and comfort, although the others had a longer battery life and maintained a clearer connection at further distances away from my device. I decided that it was more important for me to have quiet than to be able to walk 200 feet from my device while using these. Great for office or plane!

Bose products have always impressed me and these noise cancelling headphones are no exception. They're lightweight, easy to use and very comfortable. The sound quality is excellent and they're effective in cancelling the outside noise...everything you could want for your audio experience! Highly recommended!

The noise cancellation is great. Blocks out lawnmower, power washer and airplane. Clear vocals. Only negative is it’s a tad on the quiet side compared to others at max volume. But, no distortion at max where others had it. Also, lacks a bit of punch with bass. Otherwise, for the price and comparison models, these far exceed my expectations and the reviews are right. 5 stars. Best headphones you can buy under $400

I’m not a big fan of the bigger earphone but these are compfotable. The noise clearity is nice, it blocks out all surrounding sound. I wish they were little bit louder though.

Quick synopsis: great sound quality, sound-cancelling isn’t as great as Bose in-ear headphones, battery life incredible, bulky- but you can still carry them around without having to empty your entire bag. I am going to be a Bose customer for life. They create such quality products. These are my 4th pair of Bose headphones, but my very first over-the-ear. Great sound. The sound cancelling isn’t as good as the in-ear Bose models, but still decent for not having to stick something (albeit, usually perfectly-fitting and fairly comfortable, but I digress) in your ear. They’re also light and comfortable to wear on your head- not super comfy to wear around your neck though, at least for me. In the constant battery-starved world that we live in, it’s very nice to turn them on and hear you still have battery time and time again. In the last 2 weeks, I’ve used them nearly everyday anywhere from 20min to 5 hours (only once bc I fell asleep and forgot to set a sleep timer), and I’ll finally plug them in the next 2 days bc I’m at 20% right now. Ok, let’s be real about something. I’m never going to wear these out and about bc they’re kinda huge for a workout or grocery shopping. BUT, I took them w me on a flight and they folded up SO nicely in my bag (just for reference, it was an LV Speedy 25). I still had a ton of extra space for travel necessities. Hope this helps anyone on the fence!

These are pretty awesome. I am not a huge Bose home speaker fan, but these headphones sound great and fit well. The only thing I don't like is that they block out almost all sound even with noise cancellation off (but that really is the point). It is worth that sacrifice since they are strong at everything they are supposed to do.

You don't have to consider any other brands. These are simple to use. No fuss, no hassle. Doesn't have all the features of the Sony version 3 ANC headphones but feels more comfortable to me and plus it can pair to two devices. Doesn't have USB C but the battery life is astounding! Very light and again so comfortable. Sound quality is excellent. Go try them and listen to them in the store.

Absolutely love these. I’ve tried other noise canceling headphones and in my experience the Bose are the best. If you are a frequent traveler, if you don’t like ear buds or on ear headphones these over the ear are the way to go you can wear them for extended periods and be just fine. The battery life is great too.

I have had a set of Bose headphones for 15 years and they still work great! I needed to upgrade since I work at home now. The bluetooth, Google assist, and noise cancelling are fantastic. The sound quality is crisp and clean. I would recommend these to anyone. They are understandly heavier than my basic OTE Bose, but are still very comfortable.
