    Thinking of buying Bose headphones?! DO IT!!!!!!

    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 :)

    I recently moved into downtown city limits after living in a quieter place all my life. I get easily distracted my sounds (cars passing, horns, people talking...etc). I was getting overhelemed. I decided to give these a try. As soon as I activated the noise canceling feature, it was complete silence. I did not hear any cars passing by, my fan that was running right in front of me, my dog walking on hardwood floors...nothing. I cried at the instant relief from noise. My husband has noise canceling headphones thats a different brand. I never got my own pair because I can still hear too much with his. The reviews are why I decided to give Bose a try and I'm so glad I did.

    It's been a while since I've bought a set of headphones, my last set lasted me about 5 years before they started crapping out on me. I have an old Bose headphones from the early 2000s that sound good still, but they don't have things like ANC, Aware/Transparency, or any of the nifty features that the Bose app offers like adjusting the strength of the noise cancelling, setting functions, ect. The sound quality is what you would expect from Bose, it's great! Pairs well with Spotify, the action button is programmable to a minor degree, it's nice to have. Only thing I will say is for $350 dollars, it would not have killed Bose to make the band a little stronger, plastics work nicely but for crying out loud this is a premium headphone set! The Ultras are a little better, for $80 dollars more and you get what feels like a metal headband. I would give these a 4 1/2 star rating cause everything else about them is worth the price point but the headband arms being plastic is a let down. Battery life is great! I can go a few days with them, another issue is sometimes videos on my laptop will pause between each other. Not sure why. Sometimes I get static, but I think it might be interference from other devices. TLDR : They are worth the money, but the materials of the headband could be better.

    I got these a couple months ago and I’m pretty satisfied with them. The sound quality and the noise canceling is great. I did notice while listening to music there will be random really short static, but it’s not often enough to be a deal breaker. Aware mode is new to me, but it’s okay. Battery life is great. I listen to music while sleeping and it only goes down by 10-20% by morning (8-10 hrs). They’re also pretty comfortable, even while sleeping. This is my first pair of headphones and I got them discounted. Idk how they compare to other headphones at a similar price, but I wouldn’t pay full price for these.

    The noise cancellation is great. I got these for the gym and they are super comfortable and light. I got them to replace the Air Pod Max, while I love my Air Pod Max these Bose headphones are way better for the gym. The Bose headphones do not slip off while working out. They are easy to clean. The case is super portable, I can easily fit it in my bag.

    I wanted to get a decent headset so that I can get the best sound when listening to my music and I am very happy with the Bose Quietcomfort headset. They are lightweight so they don't get uncomfortable when wearing them for long periods and the sound is really good. You can choose either complete sound canceling and get lost in the music or you can set it up to hear background noise if you feel uncomfortable not hearing what is going on around you. They come with a nice hard case to store them in a charging cord and AUX cord so you can listen to them either wired or wireless. I was able to pair them to both my phone and my TV within seconds with no problems, just follow the prompts once you turn them on. I just received them today and they were already charged to 60% so I did not rate the battery life because I have not used them long enough to do so, but they are still going strong after a couple of hours. I am very happy with my purchase so far and would definitely recommend them

    These headphones fit really good, out of all the ones i’ve tried these and the Sony xm5/xm4 are the best. The reason I chose this pair instead is because the price and the sound quality. I don’t really like heavy bass headphones, the whole point of spending this much money is for sound quality and noise cancellation. If you want heavy bass pick up Skullcrushers. These i would absolutely repurchase and recommend!

    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!

    The noise cancelling feature is quite good but still there is room for improvement. The headphones are comfy. I loved the color; I believe that was the main reason why I bought them more than anything else. The sound quality is good. I have enjoyed using them so far and I hope they last for a long period of time.

    Needed headphones for when I had medical procedures and wanted to block all the noise but also hear sometimes when I'm following instructions. These are great for those purposes an easy to change from one mode to the next. Comfort at that time is important and these headphones definitely deliver. I would buy them again if I had to.

    Bought this for my wife for Christmas 2023 and she absolutely loves them. In the past 3 months, she uses them for anything and everything from phone calls to simply some alone time to jam out. These have effectively replaced her 1st Gen AirPods Pros she’s used for a while now and have to be one of the best gifts I’ve gotten her. She’s fairly forgetful when it comes to charging things, which works out well since these hold a charge for so long! I believe she can get 6-8 hours of constant and consistent use with the noise cancelling active for the curious. These headphones are a better, more robust option than the AirPods Pro Max and I’d recommend them to anyone.

    My Honest Bose QC Review

    I had the first generation of this headphone and brought it with me everywhere I went in the Marine Corps. After many years the only issue it could have was the bluetooth connection from across the house or gym. Now if that's the only issues than it did good. The Noise reduction system is kinda the same from the oldest model but the quality of speakers and hardware hasnt changed. So good that I gave my lil sister my old pair of QCs and picked up a new pair for music production. If only it had the Easy music mute like the Sony's newest noise cancellation headphones, but when I tried on every headphone at bestbuy. It was a hard decision at all, besides which color.
