I love these sooo much! The color is so sick! The fit around my ears are great, no pain or pinching. The mic quality is super good over phone call and video chats. I use it at work daily for my online meetings and haven’t had issues. The charging is quick and the battery life is pretty good. I love the function to be able to connect to two devices, mine are set up to connect to my laptop and my phone. The price is a bit steep but totally worth it. I use these at the gym too and I find they don’t slip much even when sweaty. The sound quality is really good. Has a good amount of base and overall sound. The different functions for sounds is great, aware mode is good for work and noise cancelling is god sent for the gym!

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!

I've had these headphones for almost 10 days, and so far: 1. The bluetooth connection is fast and easy to use, and easy to connect to different devices. 2. It weighs less than I thought it would (or at least less than the Sennheiser's BT 450. 3. Over the ear cup is actually over the ear. 4. It's very comfortable and I've had it on for about 2 hrs straight with no discomfort. 5. Buttons are simple, to the point and work great! 6. Sound is very good, like I was expecting and the volume can get loud. 7. One inconvenience is that You cannot save customs EQ settings on the app. With Sennheiser you can. 8. Case is nice and sturdy. 9. Cushion areas around the ear and above the head are very comfy and have a lot of cushion. Much better than my older ones.

I’m a layperson, so let me first say I purchased these after much research but based on a “general audience’s” needs. What I mean by that, is my boyfriend mixes music, and while these are high quality this review isn’t for those types of people. This is for more layperson type of needs. 1. I actually used chat gpt to compare and contrast numerous headphones based on my desires so if you’re needing help choosing that was very helpful to me. 2. My needs were as follows: light, comfortable, noise cancelling, color, Bluetooth across devices, and ease of app use. 3. I discovered that these headphones outdo their Sony competition specifically because they’re lighter and they don’t drop Bluetooth when you move to your computer from your phone for example. I found Sony has issues trying to switch back to your phone when on computer. Bluetooth is very important to me and a top need. I switch between devices enough for that to be a serious issue for me. 4. I have a tiny head and am a 5’2 woman. I don’t have large proportions. For example my boyfriend is 6 foot with a large head and headphone weight won’t affect him the same way. For me headphones can literally be too heavy and fatiguing so my other main qualifier was that these are lighter than all but 1 of the top 7 brands out there. 5. The cushion on these is shockingly luxurious and an added bonus. 6. I get a mean case of sensitive ears, I always have. When I run my ears ache, in the cold my ears ache, if I am in a plane they ache. I am part of a certain population percentage (I’ve googled it’s around 30% but fact check me- this is for you though if you are like me) who have ear canals that actually can be very painful with the wrong pressure. For this reason I’m fairly picky about headphones which apply a significant amount of pressure. These headphones have not triggered this issue for me. 7. I wanted good plane headphones and these will be great if I lean my head on the window area. The band doesn’t dig. 8. They look really nice. 9. The color options are cute 10. The case is nice 11. I heard for Sony there was popping on phone calls and it therefore became between these and Apple however apples are very very heavy. I ended up going with these for that reason. I have used them for numerous phone calls and haven’t had the issues, and people hear me easily and have had no issues hearing me. I did have popping once but I think it’s on the end of the person you’re on the phone with. My cousin was in his car shouting into his Bluetooth and I feel if he had been quieter it wouldn’t have happened. The popping has never occurred with music and is specific to a loud shout from someone on their own CarPlay so no biggie. Otherwise zero pop 12. The noise cancelling is exceptional, I put them on and don’t play anything, but can no longer hear my AC at all. You understand generally the sound of constant AC. Like vrrrrrrrrr. It’s completely gone. 13. Soothing without music to just make things less loud. Suitable for autistics who want a quieting incognito headphone that changes, also more comfy than alternative ear covers. (I am AuDHD.) 14. Music can get really loud and nice lots of depth (layerperson opinion but my boyfriend said the sound quality is great and the next step up is just studio mixing headphones) 15. If you wait for prime day or other sales they’re 150$ off usually (better than every other competitors prime or Black Friday deals) 16. They seem durable and collapse in many ways so you can’t easily break them. 17. The app has had no issues for me. Online there’s some app complaints and I have not run into them at all. The app seems to me very easy to navigate.

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.

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.

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.

مكتوب السماعة بوز 45 واللي وصلني اصدار اخر

Muy cómodos de usar, incluso mucho tiempo. Aíslan estupendamente oyéndose un murmullo lejano que ni casi se aprecia. La calidad de sonido de Bose está sobradamente contrastada en auriculares como estos que están diseñados para evadirte del mundanal ruido. Muy contento con ellos.
