Customer Ratings & Reviews

Do not buy these. Sound is terrible. Connectivity is choppy. Cheap materials. Huge disappointment.

I have always been a fan of Bose speakers and headphones. I believe they are leading the way when it comes to audio. The Bose QC over the ear head phones are no exception to this. This is my first pair of Bose over the ear headphones, but I have always wanted a pair because the ones I have tried in the past felt so great on my head. Starting with the design of them. These headphones are lightweight and very comfortable to wear for long periods of time. They charge via USB-C which is convenient because it means you do not need to carry an extra proprietary charger. However, this is not to much of an issue since they have a rated battery life of 24 hours. The battery can last easily all week with moderate use on my commute to and from work. I love the case that is included with them. It is made of premium materials and has a mix of hard and soft materials to protect them inside of a bag. I also like the size of the case and how the headphones fold up so that they do not take up much space. One of the features Bose is known for is their noise canceling. I think it is on par with other flagship headphones I have used in the past. I mainly use them when commuting on the train or when I am flying on an airplane. The noise canceling makes you feel you are away from the surrounding chaos. The audio quality is very crisp and clear. The companion app allows you to change both the noise canceling and the audio settings. It even includes a pass-through mode that allows you to hear stuff in your surroundings if you would like to be more aware of what is around you. These are not my preferred method for talking on the phone, but it works as long as you are not in a noisy area. I believe these headphones are really targeted at people who want the best sound quality and noise canceling. If you are someone who travels and commutes a lot I would highly recommend them. They are even great if you work in a noise place and want to isolate the surrounding noise.

They were comfortable but not as loud or clear as the beats headphones. Nice size for over ears.

Not good quality, I hear a little static while using at times

I feel like really nice headphones are a total luxury item for me. I have a simple pair that has been "getting the job done" and allowing me to watch a show in bed, without waking my husband, or let me hear a new song or two and they have been fine. I've been toying with getting myself a new pair of good headphones (my last ones were Bose and lasted from 2016 until about a year ago when my son starting "sharing" them with me) and I am SO GLAD that I did and that I chose the beautiful pair! I charged them up and turned them on this weekend and walked all over my house cleaning and never had any issues with them slipping, in fact they are so comfortable that I really did forget they were on my head a few times! I used the vacuum and while I could see that the noise from it, really ticked everyone else in the living room off, I was having a grand ole time and was completely unbothered! I cleaned up spilled litter in the laundry room and not even that clanking interrupted my "jams". Speaking of my "jams", the moment that I put them on and chose a song to try them out, I was blown away by how beautiful the standard mix was! I haven't adjusted anything and I have been enjoying the most beautiful bass, that you can feel and hear but it does not overwhelm the treble and/or singing at all... just a total chef's kiss, right out of the packaging!

These Bose QuietComfort headphones are the best. I travel back and forth often to Europe and have trouble sleeping. With these, I was able to cancel out the airplane noise, comfortably nap, and watch movies. Even after 8+ hours, my ears didn’t hurt at all. I love these headphones and now my husband tries stealing them whenever I’m not using it! Also, it has amazing battery life - haven’t had to charge it yet since taking 3 trips.

I bought these in hopes of upgrading my $80 Soundcore by Anker headphones from Amazon that I bought 3 years ago. The only difference i could find between the two pairs of headphone was the fit. The Bose headphones fit more snuglly and securly, I felt like my ears were really suctioned into the sound where as the sound core ones are more loose and leak sound more. Other than that, both pairs of headphones have great sound quality and great battery life. If I didnt have a cheaper pair of headphones to compare them to, i probably would have kept these headphones. Just some food for thought.

My Son did not like the headphones and were returned.

They weren't very well... you couldn't connect in calls.

They don’t work. They won’t power on even though it’s been charging overnight. Will not connect.

Great sound quality; very comfortable; beautiful color

I was pleasantly surprised by the Bose Quiet Comfort Noise Cancelling headphones. Maybe not for the reasons you think, but let’s talk about that. I work from home and spend a majority of my working hours on calls or in meetings. I wear over the ear headphones most of the day to facilitate those calls. What’s important is that when I’m off the call, I also listen to music to do actual work. This is where Bose comes in with their offerings of this noise cancelling over the ear headphones. These headphones are folding headphones which fit very compactly in it’s rigid carrying case. The soft leather and plushy makeup of the headphone cushions help seal around your ears while also being breathable to the skin for longer wear sessions. The clamp pressure on my head I find is reasonable and keeps them from moving around with normal use. The same material and plush is also on the head rest and go mostly unnoticed, although I currently have a lot of hair helping it out, still very comfortable. I’m surprised at how much I actually missed having buttons that are easily identifiable and placed intuitively so you can quickly find and do the thing you want to do. On the right earcup is where you’ll find most of the action. Volume up, volume down, and a center button that does the play, pause, back, skip functions with single, double, and triple presses. You can push and hold to get your phones voice assistant as well. There’s a power switch on the outside of the cup which also acts as a pairing switch. On the left is your noise canceling toggle and a long press will give you battery life via a voice feedback. All of these are very easy to find as your finger naturally falls into the ridge that runs from front to back where the headband connects to the ear cuffs. It’s also comforting not to be overwhelmed with similar feel buttons that you have to memorize or through trial and error, hit the ones a few times before you find the right one. The sound is fantastic. I like to preface that I’m not an audiophile but do enjoy music while I’m working, exercising, or doing house work. I prefer headphones that favor a heavier bass sound while still coming in crisp at higher volumes. I was not disappointed in the volume or quality of sound. At higher volumes the sound stage comes across loud and clear, you get the deep rumble of the bass while other instrumentals are balanced behind it. It helps me to find my sound preference by having an EQ on the Bose Music app. While you’re not spoiled for choice, there are a few presets you can select to increase or decrease Bass and Treble. The only downside is you’re only given 3 sliders to adjust the sound. This is probably good for most but I’d at least like to have the option to do more fine tuning. Noise Canceling works well. I’ve compared them to a few other noise canceling devices and it seems to be on-par with those. Over the ear headphones, because of things like glasses, hair, head shape and size, can be very subjective because those things affect the amount of ambient sound that make it to the ear. The soft plushy ear cushions help but they’re not perfect and that’s ok. The headphones work great to drown out the cat’s water fountain, the hum of the refrigerator, and other noises your home makes without you knowing it to provide nearly perfect silence. You do get some of the pressure that is felt from noise canceling, I did notice that it seemed a bit more prominent in that department but not uncomfortable. What it does well is the aware setting which allows sound around you to feel more natural and not muffled as if you’re wearing headphones. The ear cuffs each have two grill cutouts which I would assume house the microphones that make all of this possible and blend in nicely with the headphone design. The Bose Music app aside from an EQ also allows control of all kinds of other features. You can use the app to change from quiet to aware modes. Also, because these support multi-point connection, you can toggle between your paired devices manually (they do this automatically, depending on which device is playing music). You can also toggle the shortcut button to use functions of Spotify instead of switching noise canceling modes. Then there’s other settings which allow you to control auto-power off timer, firmware update, toggling voice prompts, how much of your self you can hear in a call, as well as other options and support. As for build quality, there’s a lot of plastic on these which is necessary to provide lightweight comfort, but there’s metal where it counts. The headband appears to be reinforced with metal and the main hinges for folding the headphones are metal as well. The plastic doesn’t feel cheap or flimsy and I would imagine it would live up to some abuse. My final thoughts: The included case is small enough to easily throw into a carry on bag or backpack. It has an inside pocket for storing cables and the inner lining is soft. The included headphone cable matches the color of the headphones which is a nice touch. I did find that I couldn’t charge and play music at the same time which seems like an easy enough thing to do but a lot of headphones, for what I can only assume is technical reasons, don’t do this. These headphones look great, sound great, offer good noise canceling, intuitive controls. Easy to recommend.

I'm obsessed with these headphones! The sound quality is great and the noise cancellation works incredibly well. They hold charge for a very long time too. They were exactly what I was looking for, and fit very comfortably too! Also a great deal compared to other similar headphones on the market. I'd definitely recommend

I love this look and the features but the microphone is terrible.

Great sound quality, very comfortable headphones I love the immersive audio feature. The noise cancelling from Bose has always been top notch. Have had no problems with connection and the Bose app takes care of the updates and other features. Battery life is nearly all day. I’ve owned many Bose products and have been very satisfied

I loved these headphones. The sound quality is super nice and they are extremely comfortable on my head and ears. They charge very quickly and the charge lasts for a very long time. The only con is the leakage is pretty noticeable but that just means everyone around will be able to enjoy my great taste in music!

The sound is consistently high quality and I really value the noise cancellation aspect of these headphones; it really makes for an immersive sound. They are also just the right weight for me, and I find I don’t get ear fatigue from the over-ear build of these headphones. Again, Bose always delivers!

I have a few pair of headphones and like over the ear headphones for the gym and flying. The noise cancellation is fantastic. The sound quality is super clear. The profile is perfect. I was debating on getting these, the Beats Studios or the CQ Ultras. I didn’t like that the Studios didn’t completely cover the ear. They kinda just sat on top. But the Studios do pack a little more punch on those low ends. There wasnt enough of a difference between these and the Ultras to justify spending so much more. If you can find these on sale, get them.

I'm so impressed with the noise-cancelling abilities. Sometimes I just use them to decompress! Very comfortable and hold a charge for a decent length of time.

Sounds amazing and worth every dollar very comfortable
