I upgraded to these from a Sony WH1000 XM3. I don't regret it. The noise canceling is about the same, and the wind reduction mode is significantly better. The mids are just as clear as the sony, with more sub-bass. I have the bass at -3 in the Bose app, where I didn't need to in with the Sony. the sound is more spacious which is very appreciated, the Sony was very closed in. They are of course more comfortable around my ears, but about the same at the crown concerning the headband, wherein I had to adjust every once in a while. Sometimes I get it right the first time and I don't need to adjust. the automatic atmosphere calibration is amazing, much more convenient than having to prompt the calibration when I get uncomfortable at different altitudes with the old Sony. However, I picked these because I'm on iPhone, if I had an Android I would have gotten the Ultra or the Sony XM4 because of the more codecs to choose from from that ecosystem. I honestly think this is the best bang for buck around-ear headphones for iPhone when this is on sale. One problem potentially is every time whatever I'm listening to stops, or I pause the audio, there are a few subtle pops or crackling. I think it might be with the Bluetooth or the headphones themselves, it doesn't happen when wired or on my old Sonys.

Usual Bose high-quality product. Great sound, awesome noise cancelling function, and very comfortable to wear. Excellent battery life. Took a couple attempts to pair with device, but was finally successful.

I love them. Crispy clear sound! Nice fit and like having them in a nice compact case to stay good for a long time.

The noise cancelling and aware mode is amazing! They don't slide off my head and the quality of sound is fantastic.

These Bose headphones are incredible. The noise cancellation is the best I’ve ever used, and they are comfortable enough to wear all day long. Worth every penny!

I got these as a present for my mom, and she has loved them. She works from home so comfort and ANC were critical, and these deliver on both accounts. Even better, I didn't have to settle for black headphones - these are fun and functional. I also appreciate that these have button controls as my mom isn't good with gestures.

The noise cancelling is awesome for flights or just noisy streets/buildings! Good volume and comfortable on the ears as well.

These are great headphones. Noise cancelling, comfy and honestly Bose wins everytime.

Connect very well. Great noise cancellation. Very comfortable. Work great mowing grass can hear music without a problem. Highly recommend

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.

I love these. They're lighter on my head than other headphones. The ear cups are comfortable and the noise cancelling is excellent.

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.

Bose is always been a brand with quality and premiumness, it lives upto expectations. Great sound premium build. Charging lasts for a good amount of time.

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

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

The headset is suoer light and the cushioning is soft. Good NC

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

Outstanding sound quality and extremely comfortable device. They fit securely on my ears and perform exceptionally well during airline flights. Very intuitive to pair with Bluetooth devices.

I found this to be a well made pair of over-ear headphones. They are comfortable enough to wear through a whole workday. The battery in both "aware" and "noise cancelling" modes also lasts the whole day with plenty of juice left. The sound quality is clear and pleasantly level and flat (no heavy bass tuning like some other comparable brands). I find no discernable lag or delay with the audio through Bluetooth. Lips and voice always appear in sync (if you have issues with this, it may be the transmitting device).

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