Bose QuietComfort Bluetooth Headphones, Wireless Headphones with Active Over Ear Noise Cancelling and Mic, Deep Bass, Up to 24 Hours of Playtime, Blue Dusk - Limited Edition Color

Love these headphones. The noise canceling is legit and makes a huge difference, especially when things get loud around me. Sound quality is really clean with solid bass, and they’re super comfortable to wear for long stretches. Battery lasts all day without any issues, and Bluetooth connected fast with no problems. Easy to use, comfortable, and they just work. Definitely happy with this purchase.

My son’s a freshman in college. These were a Christmas gift. He absolutely loves them. The noise canceling is great, especially in a noisy dorm. Very comfortable to wear for extended periods of time. Excellent sound and battery life. He’s impressed. Also a good value for the money.

The sound on these is amazing. Not completely noise cancelling as I can heard loud noises when listening to my audio books. The fit on the ear is great because the ear hole is oval, not round. They are so comfortable, I could wear them for hours. I listened to my audiobooks for two days straight and I still had 60% battery life. I can go anywhere in my house and they stay connected to my phone downstairs. They are expensive, but they are worth it.

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!

Really liked the color I chose and that you can control some settings through their app. Noise cancelling feature works very well. Even has an “aware” setting that lets you hear the outside world when need be. Only complaint is that I wish the audio could be louder, maybe I’m just a wild audiophile who wants to ruin my ears, but for some songs I’ll have it at max and have the noise cancelling feature on, but even then it’s like I desire more sometimes. But other than that, highly comfortable even for me who has helix piercings on my right ear. Still a pretty good pair of headphones for the price. (Got it on a discount)

very now and then you order something on Amazon that just flat-out gets it right, and these fall squarely into that category. From the moment we opened the box, it was clear they were well made — solid materials, clean construction, nothing flimsy or cut-corner about them. They’re easy to use, fit perfectly, and genuinely feel like a product designed by someone who understands how these things are actually used in real life. No fussing, no adjusting, no “why won’t this stay where it’s supposed to?” drama. They just work. Durability is excellent — sturdy enough to inspire confidence without being overly heavy or clunky. They feel like they’ll hold up for the long haul, not just survive a weekend and call it quits. And for the price? An absolute win. Functionally, they do exactly what they claim to do, and they do it WELL. We put them straight into action and immediately appreciated the difference — smoother, more reliable, and honestly just nicer to work with than the typical options in this category. If you’re debating these, don’t. They’re awesome for all the right reasons: ✔ Well-built ✔ Fit and function are spot-on ✔ Easy to use ✔ Fair price ✔ Immediately useful with zero hassle One of those rare buys where you think, “Yep — should’ve ordered these sooner.”

These are a game-changer. Anyone that flies frequently or works in a noisy environment and needs to drown out background noise - these headphones are fantastic! I bought them during Black Friday last year and raved about them so much that the following year my husband bought them too. We recently did some pretty long flights and it was so much more enjoyable to watch movies/listen. Even if not listening I wore these just to drown out the humming of the airplane - though my ears did need a bit of a break after 4-5 few hours of wear - the cushioned ear cups are very comfortable! I have a small head (petite woman) and very small ears and ear canals and always struggle with earbuds not fitting. These, I have no problems with! The set comes with a chord adapter to plug into the entertainment system on an airplane. I bought a Bluetooth adapter (here on Amazon) to wirelessly plug into the plane’s entertainment system and really like it as I was always inadvertently tugging the chord out. These headphones are chunky compared to earbuds but they’re still lightweight. They pair easily to iPhone and thus far no issues with connectivity. It’s nice that they come in many colors. I don’t use these for outdoor use ie going for a walk. For that I stick with earbuds because of bulk and also because you really can’t hear if someone calls out to you - so for me, it’s just a safety thing - prefer to be more aware of surroundings. I looked into competitor headphones quite a bit before buying these. The cushioning of the ear cups is what made me choose these. There was another pair that had superior sound quality but from what I read it was the difference between an A and an A+, for me an A was and has continued to be great.

Important Considerations Before Buying: First things first: The Bose QuietComfort does not have a standard "ANC Off" mode. It is either "Quiet" (ANC On) or "Aware" (Transparency) mode. Additionally, while it features Bluetooth 5.2, users should be aware of the connectivity limitations regarding multi-point pairing. First Impressions & Unboxing: Out-of-Box Sound: When you first wear the headphones and play music via Bluetooth, the bass is quite heavy. However, once you install the Bose app and adjust the EQ modes to your liking, the audio is flawless. Sound Quality: The soundstage is very open and rich. It captures fine details beautifully across the treble, mids, and bass. Bass Performance: The bass is deep and well-tuned. It gives a "Dolby Atmos" feeling, almost like a movie theater sound effect. Physical Controls: The headphones feature manual volume and pause/play buttons, which are extremely helpful when managing music or watching movies. App Compatibility: The Bose app is designed for mobile devices and is not available for Windows/macOS. Consequently, when you connect to a PC or Laptop, your custom app settings (EQ) will not carry over. ANC Sensation: Using Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) for long durations initially caused some dizziness or a feeling of pressure. I may just need some time to get used to it. Wired Connection: Surprisingly, there is a 3.5mm jack for wired connections. Using the cable seems to turn the ANC off (which provided some relief from the dizziness mentioned above). It appears that ANC/Transparency is active only during Bluetooth connections, though I am still confirming the exact mechanics of the wired mode. Wired Limitations: As noted in point #5, when you use the 3.5mm wired connection with a PC, your equalizer settings will not be active. Verdict: Overall, these are flawless headphones. I purchased them at the $159 price point, which was a really good deal. While I really wish Bose provided a simple "ANC Off" feature, I am very happy with the sound quality and features after making a few adjustments. Edit: After using it for a while below are some new observations 1. Its possible to use multi connect using bose app. You can connect your mobile as well as your lenovo laptop and switch between them for example: You can receive a call in mobile and pause hte movie in laptop and then continue movie without the hassel of changing or pairing headphone. Now thats a plus even if its not bluetooth 5.3 2. I realized after using for a while the amount of details that is available while hearing songs or movie is just unmatched with any other headphones I have used so far (Most of them were economical headphones though. ) 3. Noise cancellation is way too good .sometimes feels very strong. I have created custom Home mode where I kept noise cancellation at 30% 4. Calls are more clear when making whatsapp or facetime calls. from mobile or laptop... The other end of the family told that its better than tlaking normally from mobile. 5. Battery drains bit faster. I dont have exact measure but will update once I have more data. Once again Bose QC has been the only headphone with such a price range to provide amazingly rich voice footprint. in Musics , youtube videos and movies... (Caveat: With help of equalizer )
