Customer Ratings & Reviews

I read a ton of reviews on lots of different headphones before deciding on these without having tried any of them on in store beforehand. These Bose headphones are fantastic! They are light, super comfortable to wear and the music sounds great. I love that they fit over my entire ear too! The airpods I have started to really bother me and I just got some new ear piercings that the airpods would’ve irritated. These headphones fit the bill of what I was looking for. The battery lasts awhile too; havent had to charge them yet in the week I’ve had them. I was at Best Buy a few days ago and tried on the headphones they had there, I’m really happy I chose these and have zero regrets. I’d absolutely recommend.

For as long as I've been traveling, my ANC headset manufacturer of choice has always been Bose. I've tried other active noise cancelling headphones in the past and they've never quite performed as well. Very few headsets have also been as comfortable; especially for prolonged flights. After using these new Bose QuietComfort headphones, I'm happy to report that Bose is still the king in these departments. As a long time fan of the QuietComfort series of headphones, I love that Bose hasn't deviated from their tried and true formula and has given us much of what we've come to expect while throwing in some minor upgrades. While these new QuietComfort headphones have become my number one choice for travel and commute, I still think that Bose has room for improvement. Starting with the build quality, these new QuietComforts are mainly constructed with a premium plastic material but also house some aluminum components like the adjustable earcup sliders on the sides of the frame. The adjustable sliders have a sturdy ratcheting mechanism that allows the earcups to stay in place even when engaged in physical activity. I wouldn't take these running, but they did a good job staying in place during some heavy resistance training sessions. I love the choice of these lightweight materials by Bose as it makes these the perfect companions for long travel sessions. The memory foam lining on the underside of the frames along with the earcup cushions provide unrivaled comfort. I've had the pleasure of trying several comfortable headsets in the last couple of years but this new model of QuietComforts are in their own league. The leather cushions on the earcups are soft and malleable but have enough firmness to quickly return to their shape. They are also very breathable. I never found my ears getting sweaty or clammy during long listening sessions. In terms of audio performance, these QuietComfort headphones provide a premium HiFi experience that you can enjoy for hours on end with virtually no head fatigue. These QuietComforts have a very open and somewhat airy soundstage, which is impressive considering these are closed back headphones. The mids and highs come across very clear and there is a decent amount of separation between them. Instruments are easily discernable and vocals also sound full and organic. While I've noticed that Bose did slightly improve upon the low frequency on these new QuietComforts from it's predecessors, I would have liked to have seen just a tad more bass whilst still retaining the rest of it's default soundstage. While you can download the "Bose Music" app and select the "Bass Boost" preset to increase the amount of bass, I noticed that this preset tended to muddle the mids and highs quite a bit. As someone who will be using these headphones a lot while watching movies and playing video games on my travels, the added bass while still retaining those beautiful mids and highs would have been much appreciated. Despite this minor gripe, movies and music of all genres still sounded great. The active noise cancelling remains extremely impressive as always. The Bose Music app now allows you to tune the level of ANC depending on your environment in case you have important things going on around you. Up until now, this is something that you haven't been able to do on prior QuietComfort series headphones. When it came to the bluetooth performance, the QuietComforts performed well by providing a constant connection with minimal distortion within a range of about 30-35 feet. The QuietComfort headphones also support multi-point connection for up to two devices. Switching between bluetooth sources was seamless for me and I never ran into any issues. For the most seamless transitions, I recommend pausing the current source that you're using, and then pressing play on the source that you're switching to. This worked flawlessly for me every time. The one thing I would have liked for Bose to improve upon in this category is the bluetooth version. These QuietComforts are still using Bluetooth 5.1. I've noticed that other flagship competitor headphones are already utilizing bluetooth version 5.3. Bluetooth 5.3 takes advantage of neat features like reducing the device's power consumption by discarding repeated data packets or optimizing data transfers which reduces the chances of data being lost. Lastly, I would have liked to have seen higher bitrate codec support like aptX HD or LDAC. However, they seem to only support the standard AAC and SBC codecs. Overall, these are great sounding headphones with some of the best ANC on the market. They're also the most comfortable headphones that I've used to date. These would make an excellent travel companion on long flights, subway/train commutes, loud airports, or virtually any environment where you want to tune out the world around you. I still think that Bose has some minor improvements to make in regards to including the latest bluetooth technology and codecs. I also would like to see the default soundstage tuned with a little more bass in the low end in future QuietComfort versions. Despite these minor gripes, these QuietComfort headphones are a solid offering for those looking for the best ANC experience along with comfort.

I switched from samsung earbuds to these. Because the buds fall out when you move around and just losing them all the time because of the size. These headphones are light weight, sound great, comfortable on flights, and the battery life is good. I'm very happy with my purchase.

The Bose QuietComfort Wireless Noice Cancelling Over the ear Headphones are a very solid pair of headphones that provide comfortability and premium sound. The headphones are super lightweight, have a solid, premium build, and best in class noise cancelling. If you have not heard a pair of Bose noise cancelling headphones, then you are missing out. There is a reason you see Bose all over airports and traveling in general. At first, you are in disbelief on how quiet the outside world gets when putting on and firing up these headphones. They will allow you to immerse yourself in whatever you are doing, be it work, play, or just to tune out to the outside world. The QC headphones have up to 24 hours on a single charge, and they themselves charge with a USB-C cable, which is now the go to for most electronics devices. If you are in a rush, these headphones can charge for 15 minutes and give you up to 2.5 hours of playback time. To accompany your headphones, the Bose Music app allows you to pair, and adjust sound controls to your liking in a simple, easy fashion. If you are Spotify user, pressing and holding the Action button, then pressing again to have Spotify offer music suggestions (This is all setup in the Bose Music app). Overall, I believe these are one of the best, if not the best noise cancelling headphones you can buy on the market. Bose has the history and reputation that they have worked hard to earn, and these headphones are the embodiment of this work. You will not be disappoint in these headphones!

They're back! These have been the standard for noise cancelling headphones for many years. I know many folks who swear by them. The active noise cancelling that Bose uses is about as top notch as it gets, and although I couldn't notice a more refined sound profile while the noise cancelling was enabled. What I did notice and really enjoy though - when noise cancelling is enabled, you can turn your music up to a quiet whisper. As someone who enjoys studying or doing some of my more intricate hobbies that require concentration, I can turn down the sound around me while also keeping the music low. Wonderful! The build quality on these is rather typical. Bose goes out of their way to make these headphones comfortable, but they're not made to be durable, so try to treat them kindly. The headphones don't feel cheap, but you won't want to bend them all over the place either. If you haven't used the "Aware Mode" before, it's just like the transparency modes you'd find on competing audio solution. The difference though? This aware mode is refined. It doesn't sound hollow or artificial, the sound just seems a bit more "filtered". It's hard to describe, but it's a sound profile that doesn't bother my ears when listening to the world and my headphones at the same time. I was able to get around 20 some hours of audio out of these before the battery was critical, and the Bluetooth range on these is pretty decent - about 25ish feet inside my house. Small feature shoutout: The customizable shortcut button on these headphones? It's super cool. I have it set to shuffle Spotify and give me a random playlist, just by holding down the button for a moment. I'm using this all the time now! You can customize this feature in the app - there's also an equalizer in the app for anyone interested. All in all? If you've tested Bose's QuietComfort headphones before, you know you'll get great noise cancelling and clean audio. To everyone else, I recommend testing these out and seeing if the sound profile and noise cancelling fit your needs.

First I will say, I started out with the Beats Studio Pro’s (Sandstone). Didn’t think the ANC was as good as I wanted so I exchanged them for these. That might have been a mistake. I think these are okay. I picked them up on sale for $199. For that price they are justified. Don’t pay $359 for them though. Sound quality is good. What you would expect from Bose. However, I almost prefer the sound quality on the Beats a little better. Battery life is fine. I don’t wear them for hours on end, so usually only need to charge them every couple weeks. I will say that I’m a little disappointed with the ANC. I thought it would be better. Maybe my expectations were too high, given Bose reputation for noise canceling. My wife was vacuuming and i could hear it quite well with music playing and noise canceling on. It was muffled, but that was about it. I’m not sure the Beats noise canceling was much different than these. Yeah, the Bose might be a touch better, but it’s only by a slim margin. These do have a couple of nice features that are missing on the Beats though, like an adjustable EQ and actual voice prompts. They Beats only give you audible tones and there are only adjustments for different types of genres that is buried in the Apple Music app. The physical buttons on these are little better than the Beats also. Just better located and easier to use. The last issue with the Bose is the fit. These are comfortable, but I must have a small melon, because as tight as these will go they are still somewhat loose on my bean. The Beats definitely fit more snug. These are okay for sitting or walking, but would be too loose on me for exercising. Don’t get me wrong, these are really good headphones. However, at the end of the day, I kinda regret not keeping the Beats. That’s just personal preference on my part, but hope this helps someone.

Bose QuietComfort Wireless Headphones deliver exactly what their name promises—quiet comfort. The noise cancellation is top-tier, effortlessly silencing distractions, while the plush earcups and lightweight design make long listening sessions a breeze. With rich, customizable sound and up to 24 hours of battery life, they’re a reliable companion for travel, work, or just zoning out in style. What I really like is the level of pressure from the head band. Most headsets are tight, and after a short period begin to hurt. Not these Bose, super comfortable and can wear all day.

This is my first Bose headphones, but I’ve used plenty of headsets that boasted many features including multi device and noise cancelling. But I have to say that Bose has mastered the science of the noise cancelling headset, creating the QuietComfort Wireless Noise Cancelling Over-the-Ear Headphones. This is one of the best headsets I have ever used, even for just blocking out background noise to find a little peace and quiet. Pros - Easy setup and use. - Amazing noise cancellation. - Perfect for on the go. Cons - Fit takes time to get used to. - EQ settings are rather basic. Out of the box, which includes a travel case, USB C, and audio cable with inline Mic, the initial setup is extremely simple. Literally, Bose has made it so you can use the QuiteComfort Wireless Noise Cancelling Over-the-Ear headphones without needing the app out of the box. But the app does enable added features that make the experience better when used together with the headset. I was able to pair the QuiteComfort right out of the box without any issue. Within minutes I was on a call through my phone without any issues. All you must do is put the Bose QuiteComfort on, push and hold the power button past the on position until you hear the “pairing mode” cue, then select the Bose Headset from the list of available devices on your specific device. And Done. No downloads or annoying app setup is required. One of the best setup experiences I have ever had with a headset. I was able to easily pair the QuiteComfort with my work laptop, tablet, and even desktop computer without any additional downloads or issues. The multi-device connection allows for 2 devices to be connected at the same time, which is super convenient if you want to take a call while being connected into another device. The buttons to control the headset are well placed on the headset but the multi-function button on the Right earcup will take a bit getting used to as there are multiple commands on one button: 1 press is Play or Pause or Answer or End a phone call, 2 presses is Skip Forward, 3 presses is Skip Backward, and a Press and Hold will decline a call. While the left button can be customized to open a selected app or perform a set task with a single press or act as a Mute button if pressed 2 times while on a call. Overall, the buttons feel responsive and easy to find while wearing the headset. The build quality is great, high-quality plastic is used but it feels solid and doesn’t give or flex during use. Both ear cups can rotate and extend down to be adjusted to fit better on the head. A USB-C plug is available on the bottom of the Right earcup for power and a 3.5mm audio jack is available on the bottom of the Left earcup for use with an audio cable. The sound is crisp and clean, no matter which device I connected to the sound came in clear. The call quality was amazing! I had multiple comments on how clear my voice was heard even with background noise going on, I lucked out and got these the same week my neighbor had their main sewer line replaced. I was able to confirm that both the mic and audio noise cancelling work quite well, even being just across the street the background noise never broke through the call to be louder than the voice or audio. That’s not to say they couldn’t hear the background noise, but my voice was still very clear and understandable. If you need a headset to use in a loud environment, that will keep your audio and voice clear, the Bose QuietComfort is a great choice. The Noise cancellation had more settings than most, allowing for a sliding selection of sensitivity for the filtering of background noise. There are different modes that can be cycled through using the Left action button, by default there are 2 modes: Quiet and Aware. The “Aware” mode is helpful if you want to reduce the overall noise and look like you are listening to music but be fully aware of your surroundings. This brings me to my only initial complaint about the headset, which was that initially the headphones gave me a bit of a squeezed or suctioned feeling when I put them on. This is due to the passive noise cancelling of the earphone cushions, which create a tight seal with the head to keep out extra noise. This was something I had to get used to before I could enjoy the headphones to their fullest. If you have any sensitivity to your ears or inner ears, these headphones may take time for you to adjust. The added EQ settings really do make a difference but are limited to just a few “adjustments” but should cover most user’s needs, though if you’re used to a ton of pre-settings, there are only 4: Bass Boost, Bas Reducer, Treble Boost, and Treble Reducer. It’s basic, but for my uses it works as I’ll adjust most of my audio on the source side. Overall, I’d suggest the Bose QuietComfort headphones to anyone looking for a premium audio experience that needs noise canceling and multi-device connectivity. The Bose QuietComfort will reduce or cancel out a moderately noisy background like the office or public transportation while providing great sound and audio performance. The noise cancelling on the mic is quite amazing, keeping the voice quality clear even in extremely noisy environments. Though these are premium headphones, they are a perfect example of the saying, “You get what you pay for”. The Bose QuietComfort Wireless Noise Cancelling Over-the-Ear Headphones are a great product for anyone on the go who wants a great experience from their headphones.

We all get there from time to time. When I need to focus my attention on work and all I can focus on is all the other noises around me. Anything from other people's conversations to my neighbor mowing the lawn. Noise cancelling technology has been helpful with situations like this, but... being someone that has sensitive hearing I tend to hear the white noise that comes out of the sound system to the point I am distracted by the sound. With the Bose QuietComfort Wireless Noise Cancelling headset, I can barely hear a faint white noise sound in the headset only between songs. Somehow they figured out the balance between the white noise and the build of the headset its self without giving up on overall comfort. They are adjustable on the sides of the band and foldable to fit into the carrying case. Noise cancelling option can be toggled off when you want to be more aware of your surroundings or make it a little more natural if you take calls through the headset. I like the simplicity of the design of the simple switch to turn the headset on to connect through Bluetooth along with buttons for +/- volume, track seek, and toggle quiet/aware options. These are able to sync with the Bose Music app which gives you additional options for managing Bluetooth Connections, equalizer (adjust bass, mid, and treble), settings for hearing your own voice during calls, volume and toggling Quiet/Aware modes. Sound quality is great, crisp and pure. It's just amazing how these block out environment noises.

Super comfortable and light weight. Bose sound is unmatched by any competitor. I love the extended battery life which allows for multiple uses before needing to charge.

These headphones completely exceeded my expectations. The sound quality is crystal clear with deep bass and rich mids, making music, podcasts, and calls a joy. I especially love the noise cancellation feature—it works incredibly well, even in noisy environments like cafes or airplanes. Comfort is another major plus. The ear cushions are soft and breathable, and I can wear them for hours without any discomfort or pressure. They also feel durable and well-built, yet lightweight. The Bluetooth pairing was seamless, and the battery life has been impressive—I’ve only needed to charge them once after multiple long listening sessions. Highly recommend for anyone looking for premium audio with comfort to match.

I’ve been using these daily for work and travel. The sound is clear, with solid bass and great noise cancellation. They’re lightweight and don’t get uncomfortable, even after hours of use. Battery life is strong too. Worth it.

After extensive research, I decided to switch from my trusty Sony WH-1000XM4 to the Bose QuietComfort Headphones, and I’m thrilled with my choice. The comfort level is unmatched, and the sound quality transports me to another world. The dark green color adds a touch of elegance, and the Bluetooth connectivity seamlessly integrates with my Apple devices. Whether I’m immersed in music or enjoying the bliss of silence, these headphones deliver an unparalleled experience. Bose has truly outdone themselves with this remarkable product. Highly recommended for anyone seeking premium sound and comfort.

They are very nice. Absolutely love the color. They are comfortable and when you turn them on it’s like all the ambient noise is sucked out. While listening to some music I could hear the bows moving across the strings or that record feel that some artists add to their music. I have enjoyed using them. Expensive that’s for sure.

Great sound quality as expected from a Bose product. Wish they went a little bit louder. Very comfortable as I recently used them on a 25 hour flight. Battery lasted the entire time..

Perfect, quiet, comfortable fit. Fits snug to my ears and perfect noise canceling. Holds battery life very well and comes with amazing app to control bass, tremble and volume. The app also tells me when it is completely charged and how much battery life is left.

Bought these for my girlfriend as a present for the gym during a sale. She has used them everyday since! Super comfy, great noise cancelling and battery life. Also, sound amazing and are easy to clean.

I love these headphones!! I bought them a year ago for my daughter so they came highly recommended and decided I too had to have them! I ordered them online and BestBuy delivered them the next day, free delivery!! The battery life is amazing! I may charge them like once every 8 days or so. The noise canceling is great for tuning out office chatter on the days I have to go into work. The sound is truly like you are engulfed in the perfect stereo system. They are so comfortable I forget I’m wearing them and also super durable with a convenient carrying case. The Bose app allows me to switch between devices and monitor battery life (which is also announced when you turn on the headphones).

Excellent headphones. I use them every day. They've completely replaced my AirPods. If you have space in your bag for this, it's a no-brainer over earbuds. The sound quality is amazing. The noise canceling is a step above anything else I've ever used. It is totally worth the cost. These are honestly just as good, if not better, than AirPods Max's for half the price. They blow the Sony equivalents out of the water as well, and this is coming from someone who would always go Sony as of a few years ago. The transparency mode leaves a little bit to be desired, but that's kind of what you have to expect with over-ear headphones. The battery life is insane. I use them for probably two hours a day, and they last me weeks.

I usually use AirPods Pro 2nd gen earbuds for listening to music. However, I’m planning a trip that includes a 10 hour plane flight so I bought these to get me from airport to airport. The advertised 24 hour battery life should be more than sufficient. They feel comfortable enough that it shouldn’t be a problem wearing them for extended periods of time. When you buy Bose you expect great sound and these don’t disappoint. I can hear a full range of sounds and they have so much bass response that I decided to use the EQ to boost the mid and high in comparison. ANC works great, and on quet mode seems to shut out most sounds. I haven’t worn them outside yet, but inside sounds like my humidifier totally disappear. However, I don’t feel that “Aware” mode boosts outside sounds nearly enough and leaves them somewhat muffled, especially compared to Adaptive mode on my AirPods Pro. I can hear other sounds, they just aren’t as loud and clear as I would like, and it is difficult to have a conversation with my headphones on.
