I personally have these in blue, but got the pink ones for my daughter!
I love music, it is my life. But the sound has to be just right. Bass 100% on point.
These are the best headphones I have ever owned. Noise cancelation, you literally hear nothing outside of your headphones. But switching to aware mode in times I need to be aware of my surroudings - it's wild how well both work.
The comfort is top notch too. I wear these while I'm working out, they are light and soft on your head/ears. Battery life lasts for WEEKS. I'm not joking...
Seriously in love with these.
Highly highly highly recommended these!

You can’t got wrong with Bose. Amazing sound quality, very comfortable, and the battery life is insane. I have a small head so they don’t fit super snug like they would for people with normal sized heads, but they’re still comfortable. They connect seamlessly with Apple devices. I live in an apartment with thin walls, so I appreciate being able to connect my headphones to my Apple TV to watch movies and shows however loud I want. They’re great for work meetings on my Microsoft Surface Tablet. Awesome for air travel as well with the noise cancellation and comes with an auxiliary cord to connect in-flight entertainment. I upgraded from a pair of Bose Soundlinks to these and am very glad I did!

I've owned various Bose products in the past and have always been impressed with them! These wireless headphones are no exception.
The sound is fantastic. Whether it's a podcast, film, audio book, or music, everything is detailed and clear. There is depth and although there is a good deal of high end, it is not harsh to my ears. There is enough bass for me with the default EQ setting. (If you aren't happy with the EQ, you can adjust it in the app.) I listen to everything from classical, blues, and jazz, to classic rock and progressive metal. It all sounds good through these headphones.
Setup was quick and easy;no issues there at all. I mainly use these with my iPhone and iPad. Bluetooth seems solid even if I leave my phone or tablet at the other end of the house which is nice. I am very impressed with the battery life! I can easily go a day or two without charging and that's with pretty heavy use throughout the day and evening depending on what I'm up to.
The earcups and headband are comfortable, they are lite, and the carry case is a nice touch. IT's small enough that it will be easy to travel with. I like that they updated their headphones with USB C.
The noise cancelation is pretty good, however, they don't equal the Apple Airpods Max in that department. (That's not a deal braker for me but I thought I'd mention it all the same.)
All in all, these are great and I would buy them again.
Bose make excellent products!

I’ve been through a dozen pairs of headphones over the years, but the Bose QuietComfort absolutely blew me away. The moment I put them on, the outside world disappeared. Whether I’m working from home, traveling, or just trying to zone out at the gym, the noise cancellation is elite — it’s like having my own personal peace bubble.
The comfort level? Unreal. I’ve worn them for 5+ hours straight with zero pressure or ear fatigue. They’re lightweight, buttery-soft on the ears, and don’t get hot like others I’ve tried. Had for over a week now.
Pairing was instant with my phone and laptop, and I’ve had zero connection drops. The battery life is impressive too — I’m easily getting over 20 hours per charge.
Sound quality is crystal clear with deep bass and balanced mids. Whether I’m listening to podcasts or blasting Beyoncé, it all sounds amazing.
Honestly, this purchase was worth every penny. If you’re on the fence, just do it. You won’t regret it.

I love these headphones so much. I got them as a gift for my birthday and I've had them for almost a year now. They're very comfortable when I'm wearing them out in town and walkikg between classes, and tbe ahdio quality is incredible. I also love the dark green color it came in, and the battery will last through the entire day with heavy use.

First of all, I love the color. This is my first over the ear headphones I've ever had. I have a small head and thought they'd look silly on me or fall off. Not sure if they look silly and but they fit near perfectly (a little loose) and the noise cancelling is superb.
Because they are pretty comfortable, I often forget that they are on and wear them all day.
I wish they had more options than "Aware" and "Quiet" but it's straight forward enough.
I also wish that they blocked out the noise on my side so callers wouldn't hear me washing the plates or clamoring about.
I am happy with them and would recommend.

Had the QC35II since they released and it was about time for those to retire. Was ok the fence about these after reading a bunch of reviews regarding the EQ and sound profile of these - here’s my 2 cents: The headphones have custom EQ, so you can make them sound however you want. The sound: Amazing, if not better than it’s predecessor: Sounds are louder and the ANC is stronger. The comfort is what you’d expect: if you liked the originals, there’s no difference here (which is a plus for me). USB-C is a game changer, and the 2.5mm audio jack is the same. Overall - these are the best you could get from Bose with a sale.

My go to for anything I need headphones for. They’re comfortable and the soundproof is great. They stay on while running too. Easy to connect and stay charged for a really long time unless you forget to turn them off like I do :(

Came in perfect condition with all the cords and case, great sound from headphones especially with bass, small pops every now and then on ANC but only when no sound is playing, ANC works wonderfully to drown out droney sounds, fits well on my ears and is very comfortable—little to no uncomfortablility after wearing for an hour or two, very good battery life even on ANC, EQ settings are great for accessibility, connects instantly with no issues

I am absolutely in love with them!
The noise cancellation is next-level, it blocks out everything from background chatter to airplane noise, letting me sink into my music or work with zero distractions.
They’re incredibly comfortable for long wear super soft ear cushions, lightweight design, and no pressure on the head. I can wear them for hours without even noticing!
The Petal Pink color is just the perfect touch, elegant, modern, and unique. I’ve gotten so many compliments!
Battery life is excellent, Bluetooth connection is seamless, and the controls are super intuitive.

I rarely write product reviews for my purchases. However, on occasion, I will come across a product that warrants a review, whether it is positive or negative. With that being said, I am pleased to say this is one of my most positive reviews for a product, ever. I have struggled to find well-equipped, high-quality, ACTUAL noise-cancelling, over-the-ear headphones for so long due to my indecisive nature and lack of knowledge on what brand/type/cost is best for me. I usually struggle to the point of just giving up on choosing the best ones, I end up sticking with my ancient, slowly dying AirPods at the end of the day. That is not the case for this situation. I was so exhausted of using AirPods that don’t work half of the time and truthfully, the battery life was becoming non-existent without being on its charger. So, when I saw these Bose headphones went on sale at BestBuy, I sprung into action. I’ve used them consistently each day for about 2 months now. Switching over to these headphones has been an absolute game changer for me and my hectic daily schedule, as I am graduating veterinary school this May. The noise-cancelling power is wild! For example, a person could literally be screaming loudly behind me, and I would not hear even a peep, especially when I put them at the highest noise-cancelling setting. One of my favorite parts about these headphones is the ability to drown out any noise around me so I can focus on my paperwork, read, and study study study. I have always had an inability to stay on task since I was a child, and this annoying quirk resonates as trouble focusing and quieting my thoughts on to one solitary task/project at a time. These headphones have kicked my lack of attentiveness to the curb, and I now feel like I could get anything done with these magic little guys on my ears. The cool feature of these is the various noise modes that you can set them at depending on your needs or preferences in different settings. The modes include quiet (best noise-cancelling effect mode), aware (less noise-cancelling for better awareness of surroundings), music, home, relax, focus, commute (e.g., bus, train, airplane), workout, running, walking, working, and lastly, outdoor mode. You can easily switch between four different modes consecutively just by pushing the button that is conveniently on the backside of the left cuff. The left-sided button can be pressed and held down to readily access your shortcuts, such as Spotify or current battery level. It can also be used to mute a phone call, if needed, by pressing the respective left cuff button twice.
There are three identical buttons on the outer portion of the right cuff that are used for:
—> increasing/decreasing the volume
—> pausing/playing the media (tap once on middle button)
—> skipping to the next songs/episodes/etc. (tap twice on the middle button)
—> tracking backwards to the previous song/episode/etc. (tap three times on the middle button)
—> answering/declining phone calls
Not to mention, these headphones hold a battery life like no freaking other. I have had them for two months and I have charged them fully ONCE? Like how does it do that? Nonetheless, I am obsessed with everything about my Bose headphones, starting with the aesthetically-pleasing minimalistic color, shape, weight, and comfortability they carry. Putting them on is like putting soft little sand-colored clouds on your ears. Feels like God himself could have crafted these bad boys when I wear them! Additionally, the headphones connect to a Bose app on your phone so you can adjust your listening preferences, bluetooth device connect-ability, and a multitude of other little intricacies that are extremely simple to navigate and change at any time you like. I am no Bose expert or product review specialist by any means, but I feel as though these deserve five stars for the impact they have made on my daily life! Bose products have become my Roman Empire. Thank you for listening and taking the time to read this. I hope my review will not cause you to have tunnel vision in what products are great vs others. Everyone has their own opinions, needs, and preferences, and I would hate for you to not love them as much as I love them. Overall, I hope that this review helps you decide what YOU want out of your next high-quality headphones purchase! Take care, and happy headphone hunting :)

These are honestly the most comfortable headphones I’ve ever had. I use high-end noise canceling headphones frequently, and I’m impressed that these are so comfortable and they don’t get that sweaty feeling, even after several hours of continued use. They easily block all noise—including a high-pitched screaming baby next to me on a 5 hour flight. I’ll never fly without these again! The sound is nice and I like that it’s easy to customize in the app (love to boost the bass). The battery life is also impressive.

As a medical student, one of the most important tools I rely on for success is a quiet, focused environment—something that is often hard to come by in the hustle and bustle of everyday life. That's why the Bose Over-Ear Noise Cancelling Headphones have been an absolute game-changer for me. Whether I'm reviewing lecture material, listening to podcasts, or cramming for board exams, these headphones provide the perfect balance of comfort, sound quality, and noise cancellation, all of which are essential for long study sessions.
The active noise-canceling technology in these headphones is top-notch. It effectively drowns out background noise, allowing me to focus deeply on my medical coursework without any distractions. Whether I'm in a noisy library, a crowded café, or even my apartment with roommates, the Bose headphones create a silent bubble around me, giving me the mental clarity I need to absorb complex information. I can truly focus on the material at hand, be it pathology lectures or anatomy review, without getting distracted by ambient sounds.
The sound quality is nothing short of amazing. The clarity and richness of the audio make listening to lectures feel like a premium experience. I can hear every word of a recorded lecture with crystal-clear precision, and the deep bass is perfect when I listen to calming music during breaks to recharge. This is crucial, especially for reviewing dense, fast-paced topics like pharmacology or surgery, where understanding every detail is key.
Comfort is also a major selling point. I’ve worn these headphones for hours on end, and I never feel any discomfort. The plush ear cushions and adjustable headband ensure a snug yet comfortable fit, even during the longest study marathons. As someone who spends a lot of time in front of the computer or reviewing notes, having headphones that don’t cause any fatigue or discomfort is essential.
In short, the Bose Over-Ear Noise Cancelling Headphones have become an indispensable part of my study routine. They allow me to create an ideal learning environment wherever I am, giving me the peace and focus I need to excel in medical school and prepare for board exams. If you’re a student or anyone who needs quiet and quality sound to optimize your productivity, these headphones are an investment you won’t regret.

These are the comfiest pair of headphones I’ve ever used and they’re cute!! The noise cancellation feature actually cancels any noise around you and there’s a customization feature as well. The battery life is amazing. I’ll charge them to get 100% and they will last me up to a week without dying on me. I’ve had Apple AirPod Maxes and these Bose headphones are 1000x better. Will never go back. These are perfect for studying.

These headphones were replacement for my beats studio 3's. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the quality sound. They are great for when I'm walking and working out. The noise canceling works great. I can operate through the app or just using them. I recommend them. They are worth the cost. I got them on a sale and they do not disappoint. The charge on them so far is great. I do still love my beats but the sound quality of these, I think is a little better. These are versatile, you can use noise canceling or even open them to be able to hear ur surroundings. Overall they are great. 10/ 10 for me. And they come in multiple cool colors. I did hv a little trouble trying to connect them through the app but connecting them to my phone was ez.

These are so beautiful and I'm so glad they made this color. If they didn't release the Icy Blue, I probably would've gotten Sony M4 instead of the Bose Ultra in black. When I saw these, I just KNEW I had to get them. They are so pretty, I got the earbuds too. I took a pic of these next to my old Bose QC I got back in 2019/2020. Definitely don't regret this purchase. The pads are comfortable and the NC is nice and familiar. The pads are slightly more firm than my old Bose and slightly less soft but I believe this will make them slightly more durable. I definitely recommend these.
Bose really came in clutch with the Icy Blue- its such a gorgeous color.

I’ve been using these headphones everyday since I’ve bought them. They are very comfortable on your head and sit nice on your neck. Great noise cancelling for the price and music sounds crissssppp. They’ve got decent battery life with fast charging. The only problem I’ve had is occasionally the audio will glitch for a second. Not a big deal but I can see how people would find it annoying. Overall, would definitely recommend!

Absolutely amazing sound quality with such a long lasting battery, i nearly forget it has to be charged sometimes! it can last several hours of use and still have a lot of power left in it. and with it's built-in noise cancellation, its perfect for roadtrips. the price is a bit much for my budget, but when its on sale, i think they're great headphones for anyone who just wants good sound quality, comfortability, and a long lasting battery life.

These have basic features but for that reason I bought them. ANC is great, sound is amazing, the physical buttons are preferable against other headphones with touch controls, and I could wear them for hours with no discomfort. Super lightweight as well.
