Customer Ratings & Reviews

Love these. So comfy. So noise-cancelling: relaxing on airplanes, more enjoyable music, easier to focus and hear on calls. My only complaint is that I don't think the microphone is THAT amazing. I hear myself on WhatsApp voice memos and I can hear background noise and I sound sort of distant. For my own personal sound use, I love them. But I'd you're looking for a stellar microphone, maybe try before you buy (or keep your receipt). The mike isn't bad. It's just not WOW. Another positive is that the connection is always great, and it goes between my computer and phone with absolutely no issue, it stays connected to multiple devices without breaking a sweat. It reports the batter life to you and which devices it's connected to in a little Siri voice, which is useful.

The Bose QuietComfort headphones are great for casual listening and everyday use. The battery life is excellent and easily lasts through long days without needing a recharge. However, I’ve experienced some connectivity issues, including faint static sounds even when the device is nearby, which can be distracting. I also find that they slip from my head a bit, especially when studying, which affects comfort. While the sound is decent, I was hoping for better overall audio quality given the price. Solid headphones for comfort and battery life, but the sound, fit, and connectivity hold them back.

Been using these headphones for about 2 months now & am overall very pleased. All audio layers (highs mids lows track layouts etc) can pretty much be distinguished and provide a balanced, quality sound. Ear cuffs seem to sit nicely and snug, with minimal discomfort anywhere. When using them for exercise, the noise-cancelling mode works like a charm as well. The option for auxillary connection comes in handy as well, with the app being very compatible to suit any detailed music-listeners needs. Very pleased with this item.

LOVE THE COLOR, SOFT, STURDY, EASY TO FOLD AND CARRY. THE HEADPHONES CAN CONNECT TO YOUR PHONE AND COMPUTER AT THE SAME TIME....LOVE THIS FEATURE!

Excellent comfort and high quality sound. Bose's noise canceling feature is also one of the best I have tried. I'm really happy with the purchase!

The headphones are really comfortable and stable on my head. They have great cushioning on top of the head and for the ear muffs. The only downside is that you can hear a lot of the wind (but you can change the settings in the bose app to get rid of said noise) and sometimes the ear pieces will swivle while you wear then. Catching your hair in the process and pulling it. Otherwise very good quality and product.

They are very comfortable, they fit around my ears. I use them to help me sleep. The sound is also great.

love how lightweight these are, but it makes them feel flimsy. the noise cancelling is amazing and I like how easy it is to switch back and forth with "aware" mode. I will say, maybe because my head is smaller(?) that the headphones slip off when laying down. I workout in these and am not sure about the long term durability.

Love them! Best headphones I’ve ever had! They don’t hurt my ears which is my biggest issue. It’s not 100% noise cancelling but it’s close.

Love the headphones, they feel like my ears are on a cloud. Great audio and performance too. Love the hard case they come with!!

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

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 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.

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

Best headphone purchase ever! So comfortable and the best for gettting chores done and not hearing the outside world. Such a beautiful sound experience. Still going strong as of today !

they are easy to turn on and off, so comfortable, connect to my devices quick, would recommend! the only thing is sometimes there are small skips in my music, which i do attribute to the bluetooth connectivity

I don’t fly often—maybe every few years—but I’ve always wanted noise-cancelling headphones to block out that constant airplane hum. On older planes, the noise was especially intense. I recently went on a trip where the Airbus was much newer and quieter, but these Bose QuietComfort headphones still managed to block out about 99% of the ambient noise. It made a huge difference. They were especially helpful for my kids, who were flying for the first time. During ascent and descent, they struggled with ear pressure and discomfort, but having these headphones on helped calm them down and reduce the sensory overload. The noise cancellation was so effective that it made the entire flight experience smoother for all of us. Highly recommend these for anyone flying with kids or just looking for peace and quiet in the air—even on newer, quieter planes.

The earcups are very comfortable on your ears, they don't crush your head or get uncomfortable. The earphones also block out a lot of noise and have really strong battery life. Easy to connect to your Bluetooth device as well.

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!
