Description

The first noise cancelling headphones are back, with quiet, lightweight materials, and proprietary technology for deep, clear sound and adjustable EQ so you can tune your music to your liking. Bose QuietComfort 45 headphones aren’t just an icon reborn – they’re the perfect balance of quiet, comfort, and sound. Plus, everything that made the first around ear headphones an icon is still here. Just refined. Like an updated design with smooth cushions and a clean look. Plush synthetic leather, impact-resistant glass-filled nylon, and cast-metal hinges were all selected for their comfort as well as their durability. Add in minimal clamping force, and you’ll almost forget you’re wearing Bluetooth wireless noise cancelling headphones. Enhanced Acoustic Noise Cancelling™ technology produces the true quiet needed to hear every detail of your music in high fidelity. Or, choose the new Aware Mode to hear your music and your environment together. TriPort acoustic architecture and Bose's innovative Volume-optimized Active EQ add depth and clarity while maintaining balance at any volume. And lightweight materials such as synthetic leather and glass-filled nylon were meticulously selected for comfort and durability. The headphones offer 24 hours of play time, charge via USB-C®, and feature six microphones for clearer calls. Bluetooth® 5.1 maintains a strong connection, and the Bose Music app guides you through setup, lets you personalize settings, and keeps your headphones’ software up to date.

  • My top 3 reasons for picking QC45s
Color: White Smoke
I realize the QC45s have some slight shortcomings in certain areas but their strengths are why I chose them. I have watched so many reviews on the top N/C headphones it irritates my wife, but here is what you can learn from my OCD (hopefully). First the competition and why I didn't select these. Airpod Max - Cost, weight and the stupid, stupid, stupid case. Sony XM4/XM5 - Bulky and didn't want gesture controls (just my preference). Bose NC700 - Didn't like the style and band adjustment, didn't fold up small enough and gesture control. There are other headphones in the consumer space but these are the big players and my top 3 reasons for picking QC45s were, 1. Space, these fold up into a small case, big, big plus. My main use will be for travel and I wanted the smallest footprint for my carryon. 2. Noise cancelling, I tried and compared these to Sony and the NC700 at an electronic shop in an airport and I thought these were the best. This was before the XM5s, from reviews they might have a slight advantage but not significant. 3. Comfort, all the reviews said the weight, clamping force, cabin pressure, cavity size and breathability were the best of any of the N/C top picks. Smart move by Bose to have another iteration of the QC35s, the comfort is unrivaled. I will use these mostly for travel, I had QC15s I bought for a wedding anniversary for my wife and I when we were flying for a cruise. They served us well, even bought a Bluetooth adapter for them, still working great and gave them to a family couple. That was 10 years ago, so another anniversary seemed like a reasonable purchase. The other players have features that surpass the QC45s, better sound, more bass, more adjustments but none of these were that important to me. For me comfort was very high on the list and I just like physical buttons and the sound is very good so no complaints there. Update Comfort - After almost 1 month I can confirm the comfort of these headphones. My wife's sleep schedule is different than mine so I have been using these connected to our Apple TV while she is sleeping. 2 or more hours with no fatigue, pain or any discomfort at all. As I stated in my original review, comfort was probably my top priority and I am so happy with them. Noise Cancelling - I give the noise cancelling 5 out of 5, absolutely amazing and no hissing or cabin pressure. Adjustable NC just isn't that important to me, I just want it on or off. In this case it would be ambient, it would be nice to have the option to just turn NC off. Hoping a firmware will be coming to give that option but not a big deal. Sound - EQ'd the sound in the app and I am very happy with how they sound. I'm not a bass junkie or a audiophile but I like upper scale speakers (2 Sonos 5s in my living room for example) and these headphones do not disappoint. Battery - I haven't measured the actual time but the claimed 24 hours seems pretty close and that is more than adequate. 2nd Update My adult daughter flew home for Christmas and she had replaced her Bose QC 25s that had stopped working with the Sony XM4s. So I got to spend some time with the XM4s, played with the app, listened to music, tried the noise cancelling and wore them for a while to test the comfort. I was very impressed, not surprising given the reputation of the XM4s but my personal opinion is the sound was very comparable to my Bose QC45s. I didn’t A/B switch the headphones but I have been listening to the QC45s for a couple of months now so that gave a good reference point. Noise cancelling of the XM4s was excellent, I still think the Bose have the edge but only a very slight advantage, it was cool to have the ability to turn off NC and get better battery life and still wish the Bose had this feature (still holding out hope a firmware will come to give this) but it isn’t a big disappointment for me. The comfort was again excellent, the ear cushions were super supple and gave a great seal. The Sony app had a lot more options than the Bose, if your an app nerd you could geek out on it, if your not it could seem complicated, for me I wouldn’t spend time in it so it’s not a significant advantage but that’s me. As I said in my original review adjustable NC isn’t something I would use so that feature isn’t for me but the Sony’s have it if you would like it. Summary of the XM4s from my perspective is they are comparable to the Bose in many ways, comfort, sound, noise cancelling, case size and better in some aspects like the app and the ability to turn NC off. It comes down to personal preferences and I like physical buttons but wow if you like the features of the Sony they are a top of the line headphones and you would love them. I still would choose the Bose but it was fun playing with the Sony XM4s. 3rd Update There were some references to wind noise with the QC45s in comments and reviews because the 45s don't have the ability to turn off NC (if I remember correctly). I was letting the dog out the other day and had my QC45s on and there was a mild wind. Yes you do get wind noise, so if you are going to use headphones outside consider this. I don't see this being an issue for me, guess only when I let the dog out, yeah first world problem. I keep mentioning the firmware update that could fix this (and added battery when not needed) with some hopes that a Bose rep will take notice (might have a better chance of winning the lottery) but for now this is a narrow circumstantial issue. For me it's the comfort that trumps the advantages that the competition has over the QC45s. ... show more

  • Outstanding headphones for sensory overload
Color: White Smoke
I tend to get a lot of sensory overload issues, living in a house with 5 other people + dogs, and these headphones have proven to be worth the expense after only 2 days. For comparison, I had a pair of Skullcandy Venue headphones I purchased secondhand awhile ago, and they’re not even in the same ballpark of quality as this pair. I was hesitant about the price point but I caved because these will improve my daily life regarding sensory overstimulation, and I figured I’d just return if they didn’t work out for me. My favorite things: - compact for travel, easily folds & comes with a small carry case - noise cancelling is EXCELLENT, and they instantly muffle sound before you even turn them on. Skullcandy Venue has a weird ANC background noise (almost feels like cabin pressure in a plane) that does work to cancel sound, but can be overbearing without any music playing, but these don’t have that problem at all. - pairing with new & recognized devices is remarkably easy with the app, can’t say the same for any other pair of headphones I own including AirPods. Also very easy to switch the connection from one device to another (ex, disconnect from macbook so you can connect to a fire tv) - battery life is incredible. I’ve used them almost non stop for two days and it barely drained the battery at all. - they look really cute, and they’re extremely comfortable! - they don’t make weird noises. My Skullcandy Venue’s will make a loud buzzing sound if I put too much pressure on the ear cup (ex, laying down in my side while wearing them), but these have no problems there which is a huge plus for me. - can’t really speak much for the mic quality, as I’ve only used them on a personal call once and the quality seemed to be fine. I had no trouble hearing, and neither did the person on the other end. I know they’re expensive but as long as these last me a few years I think they’re totally worth the price. They’ve surpassed all my expectations already, and I absolutely love them. ... show more

  • Great value
Color: White Smoke
Bought it when it was $200 and it is the best value headset I’ve gotten. I love the color, it fits really comfortably, I can wear it for hours on end and don’t really feel any discomfort. The noise cancelling is good, I have a laptop with loud fan noise and putting the headset on completely blocks noises like that. Sound quality is decent, there is an app to adjust treble, bass, etc. to your liking too. I can use it for a full day without having to charge. Really happy with the purchase! ... show more

  • Perfect
Color: White Smoke
Love these headphones. Easy to set up and noise cancellation is fantastic. Bose quality is the best. Nice case to hold headphones in. Comfortable to wear and don’t look as bulky as other headphones.

  • comfort is essential!
Color: White Smoke
They work! They reduce about 95% of the ambient noise and most all other noise too while on 'quiet' mode. Next and nearly as important, they are lightweight and don't squeeze my head so much that I have to take them off to get relief. I'm not always in need of super deep bass, and I have headphones for those times. They are heavy and cumbersome to wear. After like an hour, I just need to take them off. These Bose QC45's are a near perfect balance between performance and comfort. When I travel, they are the perfect companion. And I snap them up during a Black Friday sale which saved nearly a hundred dollars. Saving every chance I can is very important. So in short, comfort, performance and price benefits were found in this amazing purchase. ... show more

  • Better than expected
Color: White Smoke
The Bose QuietComfort 45 headphones are leaps and bounds above the Apple Airpod Pro. I am a big fan of Apple products, but these are far superior to the Pros. I was leery about wearing an over-the-ear headphone, but I have been pleasantly surprised by the comfort and sound quality. Even with glasses on, they are super comfortable. I have no complaints about the battery; I can get roughly three days of heavy use before recharging them. ... show more
