Bose QuietComfort Headphones: Excellence in Comfort and Sound Quality
I’ve been using the Bose QuietComfort 45 for a few weeks now, and I can confidently say they’re among the best headphones on the market. Bose has long been a leader in audio quality, and these headphones only reinforce their reputation.
Sound Quality: The sound is crisp and clear, with powerful bass that doesn’t overpower the mids and highs. It’s perfect whether I’m listening to classical music, rock, or podcasts. The sound feels immersive and natural, which makes a huge difference in long listening sessions.
Noise Cancellation: Bose’s noise cancellation technology is top-notch. When I put these on, it’s like flipping a switch that drowns out the world. They block out background noise in busy environments like airplanes, trains, or cafes, allowing me to fully focus on my music or work. The “Aware Mode” is also handy, letting in ambient sound when I need it, without taking off the headset.
Comfort: True to their name, the QuietComfort 45 headphones are extremely comfortable. The ear cups are soft, and the fit is just right—not too tight or too loose. I’ve worn them for hours without any discomfort, which is a rarity with most headphones.
Battery Life: Bose claims 24 hours of playback, and it holds up well. The fast-charge feature is convenient, especially if I’m in a rush; a quick 15-minute charge gives me a few hours of playtime.
Build Quality and Design: The design is sleek and professional, and the headphones feel durable. The buttons and controls are intuitive and responsive, making them easy to operate without needing to look at my device.
Connectivity: The Bluetooth connection is stable, and pairing is effortless. I can even connect to two devices simultaneously, which is perfect for switching between my laptop and phone without hassle.
Overall Verdict: The Bose QuietComfort 45 is a fantastic headset, combining comfort, excellent sound quality, and industry-leading noise cancellation. While they may be on the pricier side, the quality justifies the investment. If you’re looking for a headset that delivers on all fronts, I highly recommend these!

CUFFIE: Pulizia del suono cristallina e cancellazione del rumore fanno di queste cuffie un prodotto davvero notevole. Il marchio è conosciuto e il prezzo adeguato alla qualità dei materiali di alto livello. La cosa che più mi ha colpito è la comodità quando si indossano nonostante possano sembrare ingombranti ma in realtà sono molto leggere e la profondità dei bassi.

First, let may say that I bought them during Prime Days, when they were only $199.99, which was a discount of $150! So, they are an incredible value.
I own many pair of headphones, including AirPod Max, Sonos Ace, Bose QC 45, and the Sony XM5’s. I also owned and sold the QuietComfort Ultra, which are way overpriced, and the main selling point (their spatial sound or whatever they call it) is a joke. I don’t think it enhances the sound at all. In fact, music has a hollow quality when using it. Additionally, I prefer the QuietComfort’s buttons to the Ultra’s touch controls, which seemed awkward. Additionally, the Ultra utilize a 35mm driver, while the QuietComfort use a 40mm driver. While the Ultra may be more efficient, I think the low end frequencies suffer compared to the QuietComfort. The Bose QuietComfort are quickly becoming my favorite. The sound quality is second to none. It is noticeably better than the QC 45. The bass is definitely deeper and punchier. The highs and mids are also discernibly better. The highs are brighter and more crisp, though the highs are never harsh on my ears. The 45’s require a lot of equalizer use (+6, 0, -3), while the QuietComfort still require some tinkering, they require a lot less of it to achieve optimum sound (+1, +2, +1). Even at -3 on the EQ for the highs on the 45’s, the higher frequencies feel like they need to be reined in. Indeed, the QuietComfort just sound more refined. The noise cancelling has also improved, though I would say both the Sony XM5’s and the Sonos Aces are a touch better at cancelling most noise. I run an air purifier at arm’s length away from my chair, and a window a/c to supplement the central air, which is directly behind my head. With the XM5’s I can completely eliminate the noise from both while they’re simultaneously running. With the new QuietComfort I can just barely detect the a/c, while with the 45’s I can easily pick up the a/c. The difference here between the Sonys and the new QuietComfort is marginal at best. I should mention that part of Bose’s way to cancel noise is to pump low-volume white noise into the headphones, which seems counterintuitive, but I don’t mind it. Others may mind it, however. The QuietComfort are the most-comfortable to wear, though they are no different than the 45’s in that regard. They are extremely lightweight (though sturdy), and clamp down perfectly tight. I can shake my head back and forth without them shifting, yet they’re not so tight as to prevent wearing them for an extended period of time. I don’t work out, but I would imagine they’d maintain their fit during exercise. They also offer multi-point connectivity, and they (and the 45’s) are the only two pair to switch seamlessly between my LG TV and my iPhone. The XM5’s require using the app, the Sonos don’t do it as easily as advertised while using my tv for some reason and the AirPods Max don’t even offer multipoint functionality. Bose states that you get 24 hour battery life on a full charge, and I’ve found that to be accurate. While that’s less than the Sonos and Sony’s battery life (30 hours), it’s more than the Apple’s (20 hour). I have found the battery life to be sufficient. If you own a pair of 45’s and are looking for an upgrade, then I would say there’s not quite enough of a performance gap to justify the $349 price tag, however, if you catch them on sale for $199 like I did, then I would definitely recommend upgrading. If you’re looking for your first pair, then I would definitely recommend the QuietComfort over all the others I mentioned, even at $349. I hope that helps. Happy Listening!

The most I ever paid for headphones was $250. But they all had the same problems. Sub par or weak noise cancelling, annoying battery life and were uncomfortable to wear for long periods of time.
I decided to take the plunge after watching a couple Youtube reviews. They all had positive things to say about these Bose headphones and said I wouldn’t be disappointed. Oh Em Gee they WEREN’T KIDDING!
You most definitely get what you pay for!
The noise cancelling feature is awesome! It blocks so much noise and muffles out annoying high pitch or loud noises. For example: they completely block out my neighbors who talk loud, TV sounds, light stomping. It completely blocks out all outdoor car sounds. For louder noises such as power tools, hammer banging or very loud bass booming sounds, the headphones actually make them a lot more tolerable. They sound a lot more muffled and when listening to music, if I raise the volume it actually makes those loud sounds almost gone. I love it!
The battery life for these things also blew me away. I still can’t believe I was able to listen to game audio, TV shows, movies and music for 15+ hours straight from the moment I wake up in the morning to the second I take them off to go to sleep and still have another 8-10 hours for the next day all on a single charge!
These things are so comfortable. My ears fit perfectly inside the headphones and it never feels like they’re pressing against the legs of my glasses which other headphones create discomfort.
Lastly, to those that say they had problems pairing these in Windows 11, they weren’t detected at first, but all I did was reboot my PC, re-attempted the pairing and it found them immediately. I also made sure to update my motherboard Bluetooth drivers before the headset was delivered. I’m sure that helped too.

Lo más llamativo es el color y el diseño de estos audífonos, son muy bonitos, grandes pero ligeros la verdad es que no se siente traerlos puestos ya que no lastiman ni cansan al paso de traerlos puestos unas horas. Además de la comodidad son fáciles de limpiar.
El sonido es de excelente fidelidad, es verdad que el volumen podría ser más alto pero no sería realmente necesario. Lo que más me gustó fue la función de cancelación de ruido, yo personalmente los uso en el gimnasio por lo que usualmente hay mucho ruido y fuerte afuera, sin embargo yo me sumerjo en mi música y el ruido exterior pasa a ser inexistente.
Otro punto a destacar es el excelente micrófono que tienen, también suelo usarlos en mi trabajo en llamadas y no he tenido problema de que no me entiendan o no se escuche mi voz lo suficiente.
La duración de la batería es buena, además se cargan al 100% en alrededor de 2 horas o quizá menos y la batería al uso que yo les doy me llega a durar 5 días, para mí está más que bien.
Nunca había tenido algo de esta marca porque el precio se me hacía bastante elevado y la verdad es que me lo pensé mucho en comprarlos pero si tú al igual que yo estás pensándolo déjame decirte que no te vas a arrepentir porque valen absolutamente cada peso, si les darás un uso diario ten por seguro que será una buena compra.

De koptelefoon is fijn in gebruik en zit goed. Mooi geluid en heeft meerdere modi en wind blokkering is erg fijn tijdens het fietsen maar sluit niet te veel af dus het verkeer is goed hoorbaar. Het maakt niet uit waar je bent, je kunt echt genieten van muziek of luisterboek zonder storende geluiden en ik gebruik hem tegen overprikkeling door (harde/omgeving geluiden. Erg blij mee.
