Customer Ratings & Reviews

I got these for my daughter to wear over her hearing aid, and they work very well!

I have found it difficult to connect to one or more of my devices. The sound is great on my desktop computer but connecting to my iPhone and MacBook Air isn't happening even though I have the Bose on the list possible connections.

I like the audio and color of the Bose QuietComfort in green.

Comfortable & Grest sound! Originally purchased another brand but fit too tight & made my ears sweat.

We used our reward points to purchase this noise canceling headphone. They are as they described.

Noise cancelling abilities are unreal. Easy to set up. These were worth the money.

Sound quality is top notch and tge app is user friendly. Cancels out the noise quite well especially on long flights or phone calls

The on the go case is awesome. The noise cancellation and the flexiblity of these are unmatched.

Great sound and excellent noise cancellation. I can’t even hear my mower while mowing. Good bass sound.

Good highs, good lows, i’d definitely recommend this to others (if they have the money) $400 for this is quite insane, but it’s a great pair.

These are excellent. Easy set up and durable Only had for a few months but have had no issues Excellent noise reduction with optimal sound

LOVE these headphones for my gym sessions. It blocks out all outside noises and makes the sound so EARgasmic!

I could be over exaggerating but I can put these on with no music and still not hear noise in the background.. so imagine with the sound

The Bose headphones are more comfortable than the Sony WH-1000XM4. Also they are easier to fold up into the storage case. That said, I was disappointed in Bose’s battery life as well as the sound quality. Sony was far superior plus the tap to pause feature was convenient.

The fact that Bose is still selling 2021's QC45 at $329 on their website is a testament to the staying power of their products. The QuietComfort series has been good for a very long time, and up until Sony released the WH1000MX3 headphones, Bose was the leader in over-ear noise-canceling headphones. I'm a long time fan of the QuietComfort series from Bose but also a daily user for the last several years of Sony's Mark3 and Mark4 headphones...so, that is to some degree a point of comparison. There are a lot of things that Bose got right with this next generation of QC headphones. I've become more impressed over the last few years when companies provide good unboxing experiences in sustainable packaging (or at least, far more sustainable than it once was). As a person who keeps the original packaging for many of my tech products, I appreciate durable packaging that isn't too flashy or overproduced. It's just right. Bose also still provides a hard clamshell case for transporting your headphones. They fold up to about as small as they can to remain flat. Also in the case is an auxiliary cable with inline microphone and a USB-C charging cable; both cables are on the shorter side but they definitely do the trick. It's also worth mentioning that the aux cable can be used without using any power--so a dead battery doesn't have to stop the music. The design of these new QCs are what I would consider 'classic' Bose, the sort of Ford F-150 of headphone designs. It's a good design that continues to look great despite not changing substantially over previous generations. There are no touch controls, which is wonderful. Physical buttons on the right cup control volume and track/call actions, and a separate physical switch powers the headphones and enables pairing. On the left cup is a single button that can be used to enable noise canceling, as well as provide battery levels OR trigger a Spotify shortcut. It would have been nice if that button could be used to alternatively trigger a digital assistant. They are very comfortable, as QCs have been for generations. They are about 20 grams lighter than my Sony WH1000XM4 headphones, which isn't particularly noticeable. The clamping pressure at my jaw line is a little more than I like, but it's not so much that it's an issue. Most notably, the ear cups have slightly more room than my XM4s, so my ears don't come into contact with the mesh backing. The foam cups feel great and are easily removed (so presumably replaceable). The only minor discomfort comes by way of material that doesn't breath particularly well, so sometimes my ears get a little sweaty. The sound on the QCs is excellent, but not excellent for every type of music. Bose has been strong for middle frequencies for a long time, and that is the case here as well. You're not going to get a booming bass experience, but there's enough bass to satisfy. Middle and higher range vocals shine brightly; audio is crisp provided the volume isn't at maximum. Classic rock sounds great, as would most modern pop music, but bass heavy tracks lack a little bit of depth (it's in this department that the XM4 continues to be a great alternative). Noise canceling is stellar. I remember when noise canceling first came to the QC product line, it was so good it made me motion sick. I've since adjusted as ANC has become pretty ubiquitous in consumer high-end headphones, but the new QCs are just as good as any other noise canceling I've experienced. There have been some updates to the Bose companion app since I last used it, and I'm liking what is available there. Custom levels of ANC can be configured based on your preference, as well as custom EQ settings. The headphones also support multi-point connection, allowing for handoff between devices somewhat seamlessly. These headphones retail at $349, which is about as much as the latest-generation QC headphones have always been. Despite the fact that everything seems to be getting more expensive, these QCs are right in line with previous generations. If you don't already have a pair of consumer-level high end headphones, these are most certainly worth the investment and will probably last easily for several years. Even after the battery doesn't hold a charge (and, it's worth pointing out, I don't know how many hours the battery is rated for), they can still be used wired.

Awesome birthday gift for my gffffffffffffffffffffff

Excellent headphones, great battery life, pairs easily with Apple IPhone.

Awesome headphones, really cancels all noise. Strongly recommend them.

Best noise cancelling I've experienced thus far. Has held up in a plane half-full of children on the way to Orlando.
