    be happier with the Bose QuietComfort 45 headphones. These headphones are a game-changer for working from home, making long hours at the desk more productive and enjoyable. The noise-cancelling feature is remarkable, allowing me to block out distractions and focus, whether I’m on calls or listening to music. The Quiet and Aware Modes are seamless to switch between, giving me full control of how much of the outside world I want to hear. Comfort is where these truly shine. The plush earcup cushions and padded headband feel incredibly soft, even during marathon work sessions. They’re lightweight and stay securely in place without any pressure or discomfort. The audio quality is outstanding, with crisp highs, balanced mids, and punchy bass. I love the adjustable EQ—it’s perfect for tailoring the sound to my liking, whether I’m enjoying music, podcasts, or video calls. Battery life is exceptional. A full charge easily lasts all day, and the quick 15-minute charge feature has saved me a few times when I needed a little extra power. The option to use them as wired headphones is a thoughtful touch, ensuring I’m never left without audio. Switching between devices is effortless with the multipoint Bluetooth feature. Pairing with my laptop and phone simultaneously has simplified my workflow. I purchased these a year ago, and the photo I’ve included is from today—they still look as sleek and pristine as the day I bought them. The build quality is truly impressive! Overall, these headphones are an investment well worth it. They combine comfort, functionality, and premium sound in a sleek, durable design. Highly recommended for anyone looking for top-tier noise-cancelling headphones!

    I was blown away by the experience Bose QuietComfort headphones provided. These headphones have set a new standard for comfort and sound quality, making them a must-have for any audio enthusiast or frequent traveler. First and foremost, the comfort level of the Bose QuietComfort headphones is unparalleled. The plush, cushioned ear cups gently cradle your ears, creating a seal that effectively blocks out external noise without causing discomfort. I could wear these headphones for hours on end without any fatigue or soreness, making them perfect for long flights, train rides, or even just relaxing at home. The noise-canceling technology on the QuietComfort headphones is simply astonishing. As soon as I turned them on, the outside world seemed to fade away. The noise-canceling feature effortlessly silenced all distractions, allowing me to enjoy my audio content in pure serenity. Now, let's talk about sound quality. Bose has always been known for its exceptional audio engineering, and the QuietComfort headphones are no exception. The sound is crisp, clear, and incredibly balanced across the entire frequency spectrum. The bass response is deep and punchy, while the midrange and treble frequencies remain detailed and accurate. I found myself rediscovering my favorite songs as I heard new nuances and subtleties that I had never noticed before. Furthermore, the built-in controls on the ear cups are intuitive and easy to use. With a simple touch or swipe, you can adjust the volume, skip tracks, and even answer phone calls. The headphones also come with a companion app that allows you to personalize your listening experience by fine-tuning the noise cancellation levels and accessing additional features. Bose has truly thought of everything to provide a seamless and user-friendly experience. Lastly, the battery life on the QuietComfort headphones is impressive. With up to 20 hours of continuous playback, I never had to worry about running out of power during my travels. Additionally, the quick-charge feature gave me several hours of listening time with just a 15-minute charge, which is incredibly convenient. Bose QuietComfort headphones are a remarkable piece of audio technology that delivers on all fronts. Their exceptional comfort, powerful noise cancellation, superb sound quality, and convenient features make them a top choice for anyone seeking the ultimate listening experience. Whether you're a music lover, frequent traveler, or someone who appreciates high-quality audio, these headphones will not disappoint. Invest in the Bose QuietComfort headphones, and you'll elevate your audio enjoyment to a whole new level. Our cat loves them too ;)

    Best headphones I’ve ever owned, hands down

    Honestly the best purchase I’ve made for music/gaming in a while. I’m super picky so I HAD to go around and fit test new headphones. When I tried these on in store I was a little concerned that they only felt so good because they had been “broken in” but I was happily surprised when I got home with mine. Very comfy right out of the box. I absolutely love the comfort of these headphones. I have quite a few ear piercings as well as stretched ears, so finding something that didn’t press on my ears too hard was difficult, but I found it! I love that they seal right up to my ear so I don’t lose any sound quality, but they’re so soft they never leave my ears aching from pushing on the jewelry. Battery life is great considering the work these guys put in to deliver such great audio. I’ve only had to charge mine a handful of times and they’re in pretty frequent use. The noise block on these also… INCREDIBLE! I have hard wood floors and can always hear my dogs’ nails tapping as they walk… even with nothing playing I can barely hear them with these on, so yeah, needless to say, amazing headphones, definitely worth the purchase.

    Guys just do not think of any other headphone other than this. I gifted it to my wife and she fell in love with it. She says when she wears it it takes her to whole new world. She forgets she has a family ;-) these are so good. I have myself used it and its simply good. I have also heard the beats studion pro. This headphone way ahead of those. Sony the 299 one its better than them too. This does not hurt the ears at all even at loud sound. Not sure what magic these bose guys have done. Simply listen celen dion the titanic song as an example. Finally in one word its the best with the vakue of $199, its a steal.

    I was actually kind of hesitant to buy these as they were more expensive compared to other headphones, but they’re actually pretty nice. Could you get better headphones at a cheaper price? Probably. The bass on these are kind of meh, but the noise canceling is great. I didn’t even know my younger brother was banging on my door and yelling at me for like 7 minutes until he told me, lol. They’re also super comfy, and really cute.

    The sound is absolutely amazing! Noise cancellation is incredible. I can put these headphones on with no sound and drowned out the noise around me. Works perfect when I need peace and quiet but kids are yelling and screaming at each other. Very comfortable. Adjustable so they are not loose and fall off. Syncs super easy to all my devices including Alexa. Holds a charge like no other. Had them in my gym bag for weeks without using and still had 80% charge when I turned them back on.

    Simplicity, Ergonomics and Quality Feel

    I bought the Bose QC45 to use on airplanes and while reading books in coffee shops. They are fairly light, comfortable and will cancel out 80-90% of the noise in my experience. Music listening is crisp especially since Bose just added an equalizer on their Mobile App. I tried the Sony brands as well. Bose and Sony were both very close in sound quality. The Sony seemed to have more bells and whistles (but I was was more interested in simplicity of operation and ergonomics). The tiebreaker for me was the physical feel and build quality which pushed me towards the Bose. Totally pleased with my purchase.

    Great headphones, very lightweight (no discomfort after long periods of use), yet durable. AMAZING sound quality without the nosy outside world. The best part about this it is that I bought it on sale at half price. Hold a charge for a respectable amount.

    I was on a plane and my cheap wireless earbuds stopped working. So, when I got home I spent a couple of days researching what to get. Idk about you, but $400 for headphones is crazy too much unless you need them for work. What I wanted was something I can wear for a couple of hours without feeling like my ears are on fire. Something that has good noise cancellation but wasn’t a car payment on my head. I bought these because they seemed like the best for the least. I then told a friend I was in the market and he gave me a brand new pair from another company. I’m so glad I got these. The other pair didn’t have the richness of sound. The highs weren’t as high and the bass wasn’t as rich and pure. My ears and top of my head are comfy. They also change with a usb-c charger. They’re not the most expensive, but they’re worth every penny.

    These are the best headphones I've owned. Very quiet even when the TV, fans and outside noises are happening at once. They are light and comfortable as I often wear them to watch movies. The interface App for connecting is easy and convenient. The price is very good for the value and quality you get. I would highly recommend the Bose QuietComfort 45's to anyone looking for top notch headphones.

    These are one of the best pair of noice cancelling headphones. Better than Sony WH-1000XM4 for its sound quality and crisp vocals. You do get an EQ setup option in the bose app which can be used to make it more bass heavy if you want to. Great battery life and super comfortable for long flights

    I’m really enjoying these so far. I originally ordered the Beats Studio Pro online, but when I got them, I couldn’t wear them for longer 15 minutes at a time. The clamping force was insanely strong and caused a lot of pressure on my face. I went to Best Buy to try out a few replacements, and I instantly loved these! They’re lightweight and comfortable, and music sounds clear and crisp. I’ve used them while working out at the gym and while studying at home. The noise-canceling feature really blocks out the world around you. Definitely recommend.

    I tried several brands for noise canceling, Apple, Bose, Beats, Sony, Anker, etc. These are what I decided to keep, they highly comfortable, sound great, and the noise canceling works excellent. They greatly reduced my stress on my last plane flight (constant loud sounds can cause anxiety and stress for me), I even use them at home when my kids get loud. I like that you can use them plugged in to audio and not just on bluetooth, if I don't need noise cancelation I can just plug them into a 3.5mm audio source and save the battery. They come with a nice case and fold down compactly. I would buy them again in a heartbeat.

    Not Great but not bad either. I'm not blown away by any one things in particular. The bass quality is not what you think it would be, however the overall sound quality is really good but not the best. Comfort wise, definitely the best of experience. The mobile app is an overall great experience but can be a little glitchy at times. Nothing major though. The carrying case is the ball. The ability to add a boom mic is really awesome, I haven't tried that yet. The noise canceling is hands down the best I've experienced at times it can be a bit overwhelming but I love the fact that you can switch it from quiet to aware at the push of a button. The mic background noise cancellation it's not the greatest but it is pretty decent and it might even be better once I include the boom mic.

    Darn I missed out on this one till now. I cannot believe how good these are & I am sure there are better out there. Now I realize how crappy my older ones really are. As soon as you put them on your head without audio you realize the room is quietly deafening. I am just blown away & never will I ever buy another cheaper brand again...BOSE all the way!!! I can't believe I cannot get over the sound in 2023! You should try out 8D Audio sounds from the tube with the You.

    Awesome headset. We bought it for my daughter who is autistic. The active noise canceling makes a huge difference for her. It really blocks a lot of the background noise so she doesn't get overstimulated. I love how you can easily switch between devices using the app. It was hard to switch devices with the cheaper bluetooth headphones she had. These headphones are definitely worth the price.

    Man, these are just a tad more than other headphones in this class, but in my opinion, worth the extra few bucks. They're SUPER comfortable...the sound is tuned just perfectly, and I love that they have a USB-C port for charging them up. I even got an "open box excellent" pair...saved like $100, and quite honestly they're like brand new. Super happy! Thank you, BestBuy and Bose!

    These are a great purchase! I do a lot of traveling for work, often in small bush planes in Alaska. These noise cancelation headphones are a must have and have made traveling so much more enjoyable. Plus, it's comforting to know I'm also projecting my hearing using this item on those noisy flights. I also love using them around the house cleaning. Its made vacuuming or mowing the yard fun!

    Amazing noise canceling capability -- fortunately, the noise canceling feature is toggle-able, which is great because it is hard to hear others when you have it on. Would be great if you could adjust the equalizer, but the sound is very very good. Also amazing: the battery life is so good it's ridiculous. Connectivity (range of bluetooth) is impressive.

    Awesome headphones! They sound great and the noise cancelling is exactly what I hoped it would be. It's a joy to be able to tune out background noise, with or without music. The controls on the headphones themselves are intuitive and easy to use. The aware/quiet toggle is so handy. The ability to use an aux cord with them is also super nice, especially for use with my Nintendo switch which doesn't get along great with Bluetooth. Feels great on my ears, but makes the top of my head a smidge uncomfortable sometimes where the bar rests despite being very cushioned. I think that is a me issue though, my head is crazy sensitive to anything putting pressure on it. One last thing, I love how they fold up neatly into their case, it makes them really easy to toss in a bag and take with me without worrying about damage. Overall I'm super pleased with my purchase and would absolutely recommend them for someone looking for a quality pair of noise cancelling headphones.
