Love my Bose headphone's best sound ever and noise cancelling cannot hear anyone..

Sound quality is amazing!! I made a playlist just for these headphones and you will too!! They are fantastic!!!

These headphones are great! I bought them to use on flights. They cancel out the plane noise and make it easy to hear a movie or a video game.

Best headphones I have ever owned. My husband has a pair and loves them just as much. Worth the money.

These headphones are wonderful! They work like promised and are very comfortable.

Great headphones!! Love the cover on the ear and the true noise cancelling.

Pricy but great for me. ....................... ...

The BEST! Sound is clear and they are gorgeous color.

This product is great. Works well with blocking sound out and also is good for people w hearing issues as it balances the sound well.

Love these! I used them at the gym, perfect to stay focus! You seriously can't hear any other noise around you.

Great sound but the volume doesn't go up high enough.

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.

Excellent product. Went from earbuds to headphones. These are incredible. Love the

I bought this item for my husband, and he loves them, he always wearing him listening to his music from YouTube and other platforms. I had to return the first one cause they were too small, but these were perfect and we would never return these unless something went wrong so we recommend it if you want something great this will be it.

Great product, sound is flawless, easy to connect to my Android phone

Amazing quality of sound and the best Noise canceling. I've tried just about every pair of noise canceling headphones and these are by far the best

Excellent product. My husband got these so he can hear the tv and not disturb the reat of the house during his sports and other tv programs especially at night.

very good to listen music with BOSE quietcomfort Noise Cancelling

Sound and everything else is very good but not durable, the soft ear piece just unglued after a few months of use

Better than expected. My daughter loved it. Confortable even after long time wearing.
