- Reviewed in the United States on April 13, 2025Color: Triple BlackVerified PurchaseUsed these headpones a few times and they are awesome!! The sound is amazing!! They have two modes, Quiet and Aware. Aware allows you to hear your surroundings while you have music playing, which is nice when you are out in public and need to be aware of your surroundings. Quiet mutes all surrounding noises. And Quiet works wonders!! I have been looking for true noise canceling headphones and these are best. I can't hear Anything! Someone next to me had to actually yell almost at the top of their lungs before I finally heard them. Finally blissful quiet. I'm in heaven. Used the phone call feature and heard the other person fine. One issue i did find was that all of a sudden there was static noise in the right ear phone. It wasn't interference or anything like that. I could still hear music, there was just loud static when it was on Aware. I troubleshooted and nothing helped - turned it on/off, disabled features, changes settings, turned off Bluetooth and multi point access, everything, nothing worked and I was still hearing static during Aware mode. Finally, not having anything else to lose, I took a page of age old advice from my parents/grandparents era and gave it the old tried and true light smack to the outside cover and it fixed itself. I can't believe it actually worked! No more static. Go figure! So glad I didn't have to return these.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 18, 2025Color: Triple BlackVerified PurchaseI use these literally every day for several hours, more than 3 years later and they still work great. I've just replaced the ear pads for the third time, but considering how much wear they get that's to be expected. The noise cancelling is very effective. The battery lasts for several days at a time, depending on how much I use them. I've never had an issue connecting them to any of my devices. They're comfortable enough to sleep it, in fact I have this whole time. All of those features are awesome, but then add to it the lifespan of these headphones and you get an amazing piece of technology.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2025Color: Triple BlackVerified PurchaseThis is probably one of the best investments that I’ve ever made. I use these headphones everyday at work and I use them after work at the gym. I initially purchased them to listen to tv audio at night and not waking my wife. However, I was so impressed that I started using them to listen to music at work.
They are comfortable and they fit just fine, although I prefer to wear them over a beanie.
The battery life is very good. As a creature of habit, I charge them every morning before use at work while I eat my breakfast. The battery life is usually around 80% from the following day. I’ll listen to music as I work for around 4-5 hours, then an hour at the gym.
They are easy to link to your phone, computer or television with Bluetooth.
The sound quality is amazing. No issues or complaints here.
They cancel out most of the sounds you’ll encounter in a work place. Voices and day to day office sounds don’t stand a chance against the noise cancellation. Some louder sounds can still be heard occasionally, but I also work at a manufacturing plant.
Occasionally, they may update and I don’t think you’ll have audio until the updates are completed.
I have used these almost daily since purchased. I am thoroughly pleased with my purchase and would recommend these to anyone.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2022Color: Triple BlackVerified PurchaseI did a lot of research looking into bluetooth headphones; as someone with hearing damage and is very picky about how their headphones rest on their ears, I knew I couldn't settle. I bought various other pairs before trying Bose Quiet Comfort, such as KVIDIO (Not tight to head/sound leaking, bassy sound), Sennheiser 350BT (Pinched my ears, quieter than other sets, could hear myself in calls and couldn't turn off in app), and Soundcore Q35 (Entirely different sound depending on the device and if plugged in, couldn't listen to music and be in voice call at same time without plugging in), all of which had their dilemmas. I really wanted a nice pair of bluetooth headphones for cheap, but in my search I recognized that wasn't possible, so I saved up what I had and thankfully snagged this on discount (bought for $180).
The sound is absolutely immersive; my worries about these headphones was that the bass was going to be too heavy, as SONY bluetooth headphones and other sets in this price range are usually very bass heavy. Fortunately, that wasn't the case with Quiet Comfort; it's strong, but it doesn't overpower. The mids and treble sound great too, and I can't say I've had any issues with listening to music, calls with friends, etc, other than those friends having shoddy microphones (No problem though).
The fit on this set is also solid; I have noticed in warmer weather that my ears get sweaty, but that's to be expected with any headset that's over-ear. My only note is that I noticed the inside of the headphones have molded to my ear. When I first got them, the meshy material with the L and R was flat, but now it's slightly caved in. I'm not sure if it's impacted anything, because I haven't heard a difference in sound, and they don't feel different. I will keep an eye on it for when I update this review.
The controls are simple, a switch on button and three buttons to turn up, down, pause, and skip music (and if on mobile, to use your voice assistant) on the right cuff. On the left, the only button is the noise cancelling (two settings; aware and noise-cancel). I enjoy that this headset has two ports, one for charging, and another to plug them into the device to use instead of bluetooth. However, I will note to anyone that uses these headphones plugged in; when the set is in wired mode, it disables bluetooth, and when still on it sounds incredibly quiet. And, when turned off and plugged in, the EQ and Stereo Sound disable, so using the headphones without them being on is really rough. These doesn't steer me away from using them though, as I mainly use them on and via bluetooth. I mean, to be honest, who uses bluetooth headphones with a wire anyway unless they're dead?
I'm also actually pretty impressed by the battery on these. They last me all day and night, and I plug them in when I sleep. They charge really fast, and I've only had two occasions of low battery, mainly due to me forgetting to charge em.
Overall, my only worry onward is the deterioration, if there is any, and possible connection issues. Haven't had those yet, and hopefully I won't in a year.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great headphones just beaten by the Sony XM4
Color: Triple BlackVerified PurchaseIf you're considering buying the Bose QC45, you're probably also considering the Sony 1000XM4 headphones too. They're both priced about the same currently and are both getting great reviews.
Yet I was torn between the two so I decided to buy both and keep the one I liked the most. At least that was the plan.
The Sony XM4s have been a runaway success only recently replaced by the XM5 which are £100 more, so I left these out as they were just a bit more then I wanted to spen.
Here's what I liked and disliked about them both.
Build quality and comfort
The Bose QC45 feel light in the hand and well made. However I did not like the exposed screws. The Sony XM4s are better sealed at the joints and feel better well built in the hand. The Sony is a fraction heavier but there's nothing in it between the two.
The ear pads are better on the Sony. They just feel more cushioned than the Bose. The Bose feel cheaper. I also noticed that the headband on the Sony is slightly more comfortable. I found the Bose headband would dig in to the top of my head slightly. You notice you're wearing them after a while.
The Sony cups feel they have more space in them for your ears. I felt my ears were touching the inside of the cups on the Bose.
Noise cancelling/transparacy mode
I like the way you can switch the Bose between transparent and noise cancelling. It's just a single press of the button on the left cup. Simple. Both modes work brilliatly. I've used the transparency mode while walking so I can still hear some traffic, and the NC mode in my local noisy coffee shop. Both modes work very well.
The call quality is excellent. The other person on the call could hear me very well during a walk outside on a rather windy day. No issues with calls.
Controls
The Bose has physical buttons for the volume controls and to pause play. The Sony has touch sensitive controls which are getting some bad reviews online. This is totally wrong in my opinion. The touch controls work very well on the Sony. I found with the Bose that when I wanted to adjust the volume, I had to place several fingures on the right cup before pressing down on the volume with my index finger. I found that otherwise the cup would slightly move from my ear which became anoying having to reposition it again for comfort. The Sony is just a one finger swipe and very easy to do without disturbing the cup position.
The Bose buttons don't feel that high quality. They don't have that satisfiying click or feel.
You get a nice satisfying confirmation sound when toggling the on/off button, again a phyical switch that does feel it will break at some point. You get a voice confirmation that you are connected and the battery power remaining. The Bose has a very old computer generated voice which is terrible. The Sony voice is much more modern and clear making the Sony feel more up to date.
The Sony has a press and hold button to power on/off. This also gives you a confimation that your Bluetooth has connected.
Sound
So the important stuff. I've played several tracks over and over on both headphones switching between the two and repeating the track.
There are some differencs and it is all subjective.
I found the Bose was clearer in the midrange and higher tones. I also felt there was a little more clarity in the words of the song then in the Sony.
But the Sony came across more powerful lower down with base. You just feel the Sony has more capacity and power. The music sounds stronger.
The Bose is very good but just lacks the real strong base of a track.
App
I tried both with no EQ straight out of the box. When I adjusted the EQ on both, I got even stronger sound from both. The Sony still feels more punchy. The Bose is very good for podcasts, super clear and great noise cancelling.
The EQ on the Bose is very simple with very little adjustments. The Sony is more comprehensive.
The Sony has a much better App with more ajustments. It can even learn your regular locations and adjust the sound and NC accordingly. The Bose does none of this.
The Sony has a great feature that pauses the music if you simply start to talk to someone. It also switches to transparent mode so you can hear them. Great when ordering a coffee! The Bose doesn't do this.
The Sony pauses the music if you lift the headphones off your head, resumes play when you place them back on. The Bose doesn't do this.
You can cover the right cup with your hand on the Sony to temparaliy switch to transparancy mode to listen to someone speak. The Bose doesn't do this.
Conclusion
Overall, both headpones are brilliant in their own way and in isolation.
I just feel I keep leaning over to the Sony for some reason. They just feel better quality, sound stronger and have better controls and features. They just feel more expensive.
I feel you're paying for the Bose branding and would truly price the Bose QC45 between £150-£200 max. The Sony on the other hand feel a bargain at £240 currently.
Both have a nice small case yet the Sony case seems more thought out with better internals. The Sony case has a canvas feel, the Bose a hard shell feel. Both very protable in your bag.
One final thought which has been overlooked by online reviewers. The Bose branding on the side of the cups stands out. This made me feel concious of wearing them while walking in the street letting others know I have a pair of expensive headphones on. The Sony are much more discreet and can be mistaken at a distance for their cheaper £50 headphones. I just felt more relaxed wearing the Sony out in public.
Yet it felt the opposite while sitting in a coffee shop wearing the Bose. I felt good wearing a quality product and brand everyone knows. It's a small thing but I noticed how it made me feel.
I'm reluctant to return the Bose QC45s but between the two, I feel the Sony XM4s are just better.

5.0 out of 5 stars Muy buen producto
Color: Triple BlackVerified PurchaseYo los compre el 28 de marzo del 2022 y hasta la fecha no he tenido ninguna queja con los audífonos, el audio super bien la calidad de los materiales muy bueno, el único tema son las almohadillas ya que se están descarapelando aunque esto lo atribuyo a que en estos dos años les he dado un uso casi diario y alrededor de 12 horas por día ya que los uso en la oficina, su cancelación de ruido es una maravilla y me ha ayudado bastante debido a que me distraigo mucho.

5.0 out of 5 stars Riduzione dei rumori fantastica, audio all'altezza del marchio e comodità al top!
Color: Triple BlackVerified PurchasePremetto che è il mio primo paio di cuffie con noise cancelling.
Convinto da amici e da alcune recensioni, ho acquistato queste Bose Qc45 e ne sono estremamente soddisfatto!
Qualità costruttiva: possono sembrare "leggerine" e un pò troppo plasticose per il loro prezzo a primo impatto, ma con l'utilizzo prolungato si capisce quanta cura vi sia nell'assemblaggio che nella scelta dei materiali.
Audio: Le cuffie sono decisamente "squillanti" -> mettono in risalto le frequenze medio-alte. Non sono cuffie con bassi "pompati" ma per il mio utilizzo ne sono soddisfattissimo: passo dalla musica classica fino al metal più spinto...con queste cuffie l'esperienza di ascolto è su un altro livello...si apprezzano nuove sfumature in canzoni ascoltate già 1000 volte...c'è da dire che non ho mai provato un top di gamma del genere prima, quindi sarei curioso di testare altre cuffie (come le Sony Xm4) prima di trarre conclusioni definitive.
Noise cancelling: stupefacente, una volta abituati non se ne può fare a meno, taglia benissimo i rumori costanti e riduce molto anche quelli improvvisi e più difficili da sopprimere.
Apprezzo molto anche (mentre tanti l'hanno criticato) lo switch esclusivamente tra modalità aware (rumori esterni udibili) e quiet: non avere tantissime modalità di riduzione di rumore ecc.. semplifica moltissimo l'utilizzo finale.
Comfort: ...incredibili...leggere e con la giusta pressione per non risultare troppo mobili.
Personalmente, per chi vuole una cuffia "all-rounder", da indossare ore e ore in movimento, sono il modello giusto!
Update: Le ho utilizzate spesso con cablate per suonare la chitarra elettrica...risultano ottime anche per questo tipo di utilizzo.
Inoltre le consiglio anche per la visione di film dalle colonne sonore "importanti".
Purtroppo ho notato anche un difetto (non particolarmente rilevante per me): con il vento sono pressoché inutilizzabili con la modalità aware.
