    Noise cancellation is inferior to QC25 and QC35. Could not use to cut/trim grass. Returned and bought a refurbed pair of QC 35’s from Bose.

      Hello, while the QuietComfort 45 headphones have two modes: Quiet (for full noise cancellation) and Aware (to help you hear your surroundings), If you cannot hear your music, you can also try improving the EQ settings, and check that the volume levels on your connected device are turned up to help block out surrounding sounds: https://bose.life/3zD29sd, should you need further assistance with noise cancelling, be sure to contact our technical support teams who will be happy to assist you: https://bose.life/3BLExEr.

      Hello Lucky, I am sorry to hear that you are no longer able to charge your Quietcomfort 45 Headphones,
      one thing to check is you are using the right type of charger.
      Charger specifications vary. Be sure to use a UL/CE approved charger that provides 1 Amp. (Tip: Chargers that provide lower amperage (like a computer USB port) will take longer to charge your headset.)


      If you run into any issues, please reach out to support and we’ll be happy to help!

      Hi, thank you for reaching out. It is surprising the ear cups heat up and you have been unable to get noise cancellation working. I would recommend setting up the Bose music app to allow noise cancellation customization and reaching out to our customer support team regarding the heated-up ear cups: https://bose.life/3nTDo5H

    They are so comfortable and amazing at noise canceling. Personally I liked the look of the sony xm4's better, but the bose quiet comforts fit better on the head. Amazing battery life and I like how they let you connect to two devices at the same time - very similar to airpods.

    Worst headphones of 2021

    Autio and noise cancelling are much worse than the QC 35. It's almost impossible to listen to music out of them; it's quite terrible.

      Hello, it is possible that the noise cancelling not working as it should is caused by the earcups not being securely attached or not using the best Noise Cancelling settings. You can find a guide for the best Noise Cancelling set up here https://bose.life/3ehBtmR.

      Hi Sandra,
      The QuietComfort 45 headphones do contain a microphone for calls, just ensure you are using a Bluetooth connection to your device in order to enable this.

    Bose Quiet Comfort 45 Wireless Headphones

    The Bose – QuietComfort 45 Wireless Noise Cancelling over the Ear Headphones have a truly great sound both for music and telephone. From the moment I turned the headphones on and turned the noise cancelling on it got quiet. I will admit it does not block out all noises. I could hear my wife on her phone and the TV playing. Even adjusting the headset on my ears, I could still hear it until I left the room. I love the quality of material and the fact that they are light on my head. There was no discomfort after wearing for 2 hours. All the controls worked with just a slight touch of the button. There was no noticeable difference transitioning for music to phone and back. This is the sound you expect from Bose. Switching to the aware mode and it’s like you’re not even wearing the headset, you can hear everything around you. The app is ok, and functional. Would have liked to have seen a better thought-out Interface. Now the best part. If you are a gamer or watch a lot of videos on your PC. The Bose – Quite Comfort 45 will hook up to your PC with out the use of the app. In the app you can switch back and forth between the phone and PC. I would recommend the Bose – Quiet Comfort 45 Wireless Noise Cancelling over the Ear Headphones to family and friends.

    Good but not perfect

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    These is a very good headset, and sound is great. But: 1. These are too big. I do have small head as a petite person, aways have to look for XS helments for my sports, and ... with the minimized bend, this headset is still to big, it gets uncomfortable on some areas of my ears, and slides off often. If you have small head, or maybe buying for a kid, try them first before buying. 2. Not cancelling voices much. Street noise behind your closed windows - yes, it will block. Airplane engine - it will take off maybe half of that. Baby crying 15 rows away from you - not a chance. The crying sound will be weaker, yes, but you will hear it anyways. And you will hear people talking around. I would prefer to block the voices and keep the street sounds. 3. Finally, the charge. They do perform very long. Really, all good. Except you will not be able to use last 10%of charge, because no matter what, it will stop playing the media and start complaining about low charge. Like it will go off again and again, on top of what you are listening. So annoying, it feels like you car engine shuts when you still have 2 gallons. On the positive side, the sound is really good, not a single earbud can make it. I bought the beige color, and it takes me no effort to keep them clean, they look very beautiful. Sound quality and battery life is stable over 10 month I own them.

      Hello Camilla,

      It's very unusual that the microphone stopped working on your headphones. Have you tried unpairing the headphones and established a new connection to see if this is just a pairing corruption. In addition, it would be a good idea to try pairing to another device to see if the problem continues. Still having issues? Please get in touch with our support team at https://bose.life/3RMX5df.

      Kind regards,
