Bose QuietComfort 45 Headphones Noise Cancelling Over-Ear Wireless Bluetooth Earphones, Eclipse Grey

Absolutely love these I listen to classical, rap, meta, oldies etc. I have a lot of experience with music equipment and a snob about my music listening experience. These are amazing.

Im in college so I'm always around noise and these headphones help block it out which is good cause I don't like to be bothered. Oh also I have an industrial piercing and and it's very comfortable compared to other headphones cause trust me I've tried one too many headphones the fit around my industrial piercing

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I bought the QC45 in the Moon Stone colour to see how it looks in person. I like it, but I don't know if it will look good in the long term (that's just based on my lifestyle and all that). It looks simple but well built, with straightforward app use. I wish it had the Music Share option (like the QC35s). I use it with my wife whenever we travel together. The sound quality is good IMHO. I have no audiophile expertise, so it's definitely going to vary from person to person. The comfort is still pretty good. I don't feel any fatigue, even after wearing my pair for hours. The on/off switch does feel more satisfying to use on this pair (the QC35 ones with the dot looks better). The USB-C charging is welcomed. I wish I could use my USB-C to Lightning cable I have, so as to listen to music with NC on. That would be dope! The control buttons look ok; the QC35 control buttons look more premium (with the three dots). The stamping of the Bose logo, instead of how it was on the QC35, is debatable, I wish they kept the Bose logo from the QC35, but they changed it. I wish they had kept the alcantara headband, but they've changed it. I think bald people would have appreciated it if you had kept the alcantara headband . As for phone calls on this, let's just say the caller can hear EVERYTHING happening in your environment pretty loudly, including wind noise, if you are outside. It is not for random/telemarketing offices phone calls at all. Your caller can hear people talking in your vicinity, you taking notes on paper, etc. That's not good for business. You need a quiet room for your caller to benefit from your environment (basically, no NC for them) Bose, if you ever read this, might I suggest you make the Midnight Blue QC45 have the design cues of the predecessor (dots on buttons, alcantara headband, Music Share in the app) improve the additions (USB-C's functionality for audio), as well as keep the newbies (USB C, clean looks, etc). Thank you for the updates and it is appreciated.

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) Not only is the sound quality incredible, but the battery life is as well. I get over a day of heavy usage (music/calls/meetings), and the headphones are comfortable and light enough that I don't realize that I'm wearing them. The noise cancellation on calls/meetings is superb and I'm able to walk anywhere in my house without the connection dropping. The "aware" mode is also important as it allows me to hear what is around me while working.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought these headphones and I've been using them for around 3 and a half months now and they're just amazing! They connect to my laptop so I can use them for work on teams meetings. The buttons on the side are really handy and I love that you can switch devices quickly and easily - I particularly use them to listen to music on my phone and then I swap devices with the slide button on the headphone and voila! I'm listening to my Switch! The design is sleek and they're foldable to fit into the box for easy travel. They don't hurt my ears after long periods of time too which is such a relief! The noise cancelling option is so good too - It was a little strange to begin with but I can never ever go back. You even have the ability to turn it to "aware" mode to cross roads if walking outside. I've used these headphones for absolutely everything, even being on a treadmill and they've performed beyond my expectations. I let everyone try them because bad quality headphones are just painful after having these bad boys. Genuinely worth every single penny.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] BEWARE: The QC45's are so comfortable you may forget your wearing them! These are great for commuting on public transport in noisy and busy journeys and did I mention how comfortable they are? I like the smoothness of the area beneath the headband and 'At last' we have a usb-c charge port. I'm also glad Bose have kept with the physical buttons. The microphones are noticeably better compared to the qc35's.. but I have been told on a couple of occasions my voice sounds shallow and hollow. However, blocking out the background noise and isolating your voice works really well. Also, the quick charge feature is fantastic to keep you going until you are able to charge fully later! Noise cancellation sounds natural and works well with background voices but the 700's filter out ambient noises better and are more enjoyable for better sound clarity and bass dynamics for audiophiles. So, I much prefer the 700's for clearer and more natural sounding music in a wider sound stage. I was able to test the qc45's before mine arrived as two friends had purchased these and both of them have sent them back for how flat they sounded. I genuinely hated these headphones before the EQ feature. That was before the EQ was added and I believe if the music app initially had the EQ feature, they may have kept the headphones as out of the box, the sound just doesn't do the artist justice for the sound they intended to create. I also, wish we had the option to completely switch noise cancellation off as some music sounds better without the noise cancellation. The only two options we have are to either have noise cancellation 100% on or ambient sound 100% on with no variation of this and both modes can take away from the music clarity. Ambient mode can be adjusted in the 700's and are much better at rejecting wind noise. Another feature of the 700's that have not been included in the in the qc45's is the conversation mode. Why has this great feature to speech clarity not been included? The sound quality is good enough with wired only but I wish you can use the headphones whilst charging. The qc45's is a noticeable upgrade from the qc35's but I'm not sure if it's worth paying the current price difference between the two. I'm also presuming the 700's is due for an upgrade soon and may be worth waiting for if you prefer headphones for music rather than just comfort. The qc45's lack excitement in sound but has less clamping force to 700's and the 45's seem to have more cabin pressure compared to 700's but less compared to the qc35's. Feels like Bose are holding back on the qc45's compared to the 700's. I would have appreciated a pause feature when you remove the headphones from your ears and play feature when re-worn like a certain competitor has. Also, the plastic feels less quality and less well made and the case doesn't look and feel as premium. The qc45's band adjustment feels so much cleaner than the competition but the leatherette on qc35's earcups feels so much nicer than qc45's and earcups on the qc45's just feels cheap. My Pros: • Most comfortable • Active noise cancellation is great • Can use ANC in wired mode • Better battery life • Can connect to two devices at the same time • USB-C charging My Cons: • Sound signature isn't accurate for true audiophiles • Unable to turn off ANC without switching to aware mode • Feels cheap • No support for audio over USB-C • No on-ear detection sensor • Sound profile without the newly added EQ in the music app is terrible

I am extremely hypersensitive to noise when trying to sleep, and am a night shift worker who sleeps during the day. A lot of activity happens around the house while I'm trying to sleep, so I bought three different bluetooth noise cancelling devices. One was the Apple AirPods Pro earbuds, one was the Beats Studio3 Wireless over-ear headphones, and one was this, the Bose QuietComfort 45. Between all three, I am most satisfied with the Bose QuietComfort 45 over-ear headphones. Apple AirPods Pro has a tendency to randomly fall out of my ears. None of the eartip sizes fit me. The Beats were an absolute waste of money. Poor noise cancellation and uncomfortable fit made it such that I'll never buy Beats again. Bose has absolutely delivered on their promise of quiet comfort. I barely hear my upstairs neighbour dragging chairs and tables across their hardwood floor, I barely hear the furnace, and if I put on soft relaxation music, I get comfortable, peaceful, uninterrupted sleep while wearing the QuietComfort 45. The 20+ hours battery life is nothing short of amazing, considering that the Apple AirPods Pro earbuds only provide 4 hours of listening time per charge. I'd give Bose QuietComfort 45 six stars if I could.

I was excited to buy these pair of headphones, but after using it for a while, I see lot of drawback in it. 1. Multi device connection - headphone are not able make decision which device to give priority. Not able to switch between 2 devices. Where as other competitors in the market, understood this requirement very well and giving good performance. 2. Not enough options to control sounds - In comparison with Sony, it is far more ahead of bose headphone. They have lot of feature that Bose is lacking. 3. Not so beneficial for people who are looking for noise cancellation. Other competitors have better product which support better noise cancellation. This is what i feel about the product. I have spend 450 dollars on this product and results is no so satisfactory. Publish this or else don't ask for genuine review.

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I got these in white smoke colour and love the design , and comfort , noise cancelling and great accurate sound!! The most comfy headphones period. Be nice if an equalizer would come in future software up date and increased noise rejection during calls in load areas.

Beyond impressed with these headphones. I bought the refurbished ones and you wouldn't know the difference between them and a new set. Excellently packed and perfect condition. The sound is outstanding, as is the noise cancellation. Very impressed with the ability to seamlessly switch between device connections. Very comfortable - I honestly haven't found anything wrong with them yet and I've worn them everyday for a month now. Definitely recommend!
