Customer Ratings & Reviews

If your priority is to wear headphones for longer (in office environments, flights) and you are not audiophile you will enjoy these. The physical buttons and missing touch options is good for winters and windy conditions so that you don't accidentally change something. Sony XM series has better codec support and thus better audio quality but these are just much more comfortable. I do wish Bose was not cheap to exclude flight adapter that it used to bundle in last decade but most newer planes work with 3.5 so maybe this is not that bad. Sony does app better. Bose just does not have customization (to change the audio signature). These are closer to 4.5/5

Excellent headphones: they are very comfortable, offer outstanding external noise cancellation, and have long-lasting battery life.

Love Bose Headphones they are the best! The noise canceling on these work really well and they are very comfortable,

I've had Sony WH-1000XM3s, XM4s, and Beats Studio Pros before these. The Sony XM3s were the standard for ANC headphones in my mind, my pair lasted through half a decade of heavy use, they blocked noise, and sounded good. XM4s changed the hinge design at the earcups and both of my pairs broke in about a year in the exact same way. I went to Beats Studio Pros when I saw them on sale and saw they had a flatter frequency response on Rtings and they were crap. They sounded good, but the design is inherently flawed - the earcups do not pivot on a hinge, meaning that if you have a large head they will last six months, tops. They also pinch any hair longer than short. The ANC is also not competitive compared to Sony or Bose. Not worth it at 100 bucks, let alone 200 or more. I went through an AppleCare warrantied pair and the second broke in the exact same way. Which brought me to these. I got them on sale for half off, and at that price, they're 100% worth it. The sound is bass heavy, and I had to tweak the EQ to get something reasonable, but I think both the Sonys and Beats sound better out of the box. That said, they're fine here, and if you're a rap or electronic music person who likes heavy bass you'll like these. The ANC is on point, blocks everything out, particularly if you have rain noise on in the background often like I do. Fit is perfect, they are wildly comfortable. The main issue I have is Bluetooth connectivity. They pair with two devices at once - I think for most people this would be okay, but I'm a power user and connect them to my phone, a work PC, a Mac, and a gaming PC. The device switching is often awkward and they have the slowest process to swap out devices to connect a new one, and they often do not elegantly swap between the two devices that are connected. There aren't dropped connection issues like with Beats, but with the Sonys you can just tell the memorized Bluetooth to connect and it's a lot faster and cleaner. I have a real mic (Shure SM7B into an interface) I use if I talk to people on Discord, Zoom, or Teams and have not tested these in a call setting. The mic is probably middling. Tl;dr: If these last they are 100% worth it at 200 bucks. Sound is bass heavy but decent, fit and finish is on point, battery life is great, only issue is some mild Bluetooth connectivity quirkiness that I don't think will affect a normal user who would just use these on their phone and maybe a laptop or tablet. At sticker (360 as of writing) I might try to find a deal on the Quietcomfort Ultra 2s. The new Sony XMs are having headband breaking issues like my XM4s and apparently the new headbands are less comfortable, so I'm not particularly inclined to roll the dice.

LOVE MY HEADPHONES !! EXCELLENT QUALITY AND VERY COMFORTABLE! PERFECT FOR MY TRIPS ! LOVE THE COLOR ! GREAT SOUND !!!

The headphones sound really good, but I don't think they sound any better than other name brand high quality headphones. An app is needed to adjust the bass/graphic equalizer, but there are two apps from Bose that come up and one doesn't work for these headphones. Pretty sure that's why the previous owner returned these headphones to Best Buy. Got it all sorted after a bit of fiddling and wound up turning the bass response WAY down. I like the noise cancelling/aware button, so I can hear or not hear my surroundings as I choose. Looking forward to flying with these. Not so much worry about a screaming baby or other noisemakers. Battery life is very good so far. I like how much more detail comes through on my favorite music. Got a good deal on these because they were a return. Full price would have been far to pricey for me.

My gf loves them good sound quality cute color long lasting battery all u could ask for

Headphones are super light and the sound quality is great! Only thing I don't love is they are almost too light, so they tend to move around on my head a bit more then I'd like. The noise cancelling is good, but I feel like it could be better.

As a busy mom, these Bose QuietComfort headphones have honestly become one of my favorite things I own. Between work, kids, sports practices, and the constant noise of everyday life, sometimes you just need a moment to breathe — and these help me do exactly that. The noise cancellation is incredible. The moment I put them on, everything quiets down and I can actually focus, listen to music, a podcast, or just enjoy a little peace for a few minutes. It feels like a reset button during hectic days. They’re also extremely comfortable. I can wear them for long stretches while working or relaxing without them bothering my ears. The sound quality is beautiful too — clear, rich, and really immersive. The White Smoke color is also gorgeous and feels very clean and modern. If you're a parent, especially a mom juggling a million things, these headphones are worth every penny. Sometimes a little quiet makes all the difference.

You can't ask for much more, except maybe comfort - and they're comfortable, too! This is our second pair, as I bought an earlier version years ago. My wife has now discovered the joy and sanctuary of Bose noise-cancellation while traveling, and can't imagine leaving the house without them. My older pair is still going strong, too. Just had to replace the ear pads.

Very comfortable headphones. I was impressed with the noise cancelling and of course the sound was crisp and clear.

Excellent condition, super comfortable, great sound and noise cancelling.

Comfortable for longer hours of use. Canceling features is awesome. Excellent choice if you are looking for a good and durable headphones.

Amazing sound quality. The muffs are comfortable to the ear. It is soft and light when used.

Outstanding sound and noise canceling tech! Great battery life and very comfortable on the head and ears. Easy to setup and good tools in the Bose app. This is my second purchase of this family of Bose headphones. Traveled the world and heavily used last set for 7 years! Highly recommend.

Great sound quality. I like the green color and very comfortable

Comfortable on your head…..fantastic sound…light weight

These re the 2nd pair of headphones I’ve bought previous ones lasted 7 years. I live the comfort in the over the ear and that I can hear just the music and no background noise.

Liked my first pair of QCs enough to buy a second pair in green. Excellent sound and comfort. Good battery life. Lightweight. The only problem is the Bose app. I found the EQ useless. ANC is world class.

Excellent headphones! These are comfortable and have a good battery life! Highly recommend.
