be happier with the Bose QuietComfort 45 headphones. These headphones are a game-changer for working from home, making long hours at the desk more productive and enjoyable.
The noise-cancelling feature is remarkable, allowing me to block out distractions and focus, whether I’m on calls or listening to music. The Quiet and Aware Modes are seamless to switch between, giving me full control of how much of the outside world I want to hear.
Comfort is where these truly shine. The plush earcup cushions and padded headband feel incredibly soft, even during marathon work sessions. They’re lightweight and stay securely in place without any pressure or discomfort.
The audio quality is outstanding, with crisp highs, balanced mids, and punchy bass. I love the adjustable EQ—it’s perfect for tailoring the sound to my liking, whether I’m enjoying music, podcasts, or video calls.
Battery life is exceptional. A full charge easily lasts all day, and the quick 15-minute charge feature has saved me a few times when I needed a little extra power. The option to use them as wired headphones is a thoughtful touch, ensuring I’m never left without audio.
Switching between devices is effortless with the multipoint Bluetooth feature. Pairing with my laptop and phone simultaneously has simplified my workflow.
I purchased these a year ago, and the photo I’ve included is from today—they still look as sleek and pristine as the day I bought them. The build quality is truly impressive!
Overall, these headphones are an investment well worth it. They combine comfort, functionality, and premium sound in a sleek, durable design. Highly recommended for anyone looking for top-tier noise-cancelling headphones!

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 ;)

These are one of the best pair of noice cancelling headphones.
Better than Sony WH-1000XM4 for its sound quality and crisp vocals.
You do get an EQ setup option in the bose app which can be used to make it more bass heavy if you want to.
Great battery life and super comfortable for long flights

Best headphones I’ve ever owned, hands down

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.

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.

I tried several brands for noise canceling, Apple, Bose, Beats, Sony, Anker, etc. These are what I decided to keep, they highly comfortable, sound great, and the noise canceling works excellent. They greatly reduced my stress on my last plane flight (constant loud sounds can cause anxiety and stress for me), I even use them at home when my kids get loud. I like that you can use them plugged in to audio and not just on bluetooth, if I don't need noise cancelation I can just plug them into a 3.5mm audio source and save the battery. They come with a nice case and fold down compactly. I would buy them again in a heartbeat.

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.

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.

I purchased these headphones in 2022. In the two years and some months I had it, I have used them extensively. The noise canceling is great and the sound quality is good. It can connect seamlessly to two devices at once (I usually have it connected to my phone and tablet or laptop. I even connected it to the TV once.
It holds a day's worth of charge, even shorter if you are using the noise canceling feature. The ear pads are completely falling apart (why I had to remove a star) - but I think I can replace them for $40.
Overall, I'm content with my purchase. It still works great, it is just that extensive use has made them look terrible. I had skull candies for longer that look better.

I’m really enjoying these so far. I originally ordered the Beats Studio Pro online, but when I got them, I couldn’t wear them for longer 15 minutes at a time. The clamping force was insanely strong and caused a lot of pressure on my face. I went to Best Buy to try out a few replacements, and I instantly loved these! They’re lightweight and comfortable, and music sounds clear and crisp. I’ve used them while working out at the gym and while studying at home. The noise-canceling feature really blocks out the world around you. Definitely recommend.

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.

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.

I bought these headphones in early 2022 and they continue to be an essential, not only in my gym life, but in the library as well. They have the best aware system that can be useful in classroom settings. I have even used them for a few runs and they never fall off. They are in amazing shape for being 2 years old and being used daily. Battery life is amazing. I charge them probably once every 2 weeks.

Not Great but not bad either. I'm not blown away by any one things in particular. The bass quality is not what you think it would be, however the overall sound quality is really good but not the best. Comfort wise, definitely the best of experience. The mobile app is an overall great experience but can be a little glitchy at times. Nothing major though. The carrying case is the ball. The ability to add a boom mic is really awesome, I haven't tried that yet. The noise canceling is hands down the best I've experienced at times it can be a bit overwhelming but I love the fact that you can switch it from quiet to aware at the push of a button. The mic background noise cancellation it's not the greatest but it is pretty decent and it might even be better once I include the boom mic.

Great at noise cancellation as advertised. They’re sleek and comfortable. I often have trouble with laying down with headphones on but not these. They stay on and in tact when I exercise with them. The only complaint I have is that it’s not great for taking Bluetooth calls.
