Bose QuietComfort Bluetooth Headphones, Wireless Headphones, Over Ear Noise Cancelling Headphones with Mic, Up to 24 Hours of Battery Life, White Smoke

Bose Has Done it Again!
First, let may say that I bought them during Prime Days, when they were only $199.99, which was a discount of $150! So, they are an incredible value.I own many pair of headphones, including AirPod Max, Sonos Ace, Bose QC 45, and the Sony XM5’s. I also owned and sold the QuietComfort Ultra, which are way overpriced, and the main selling point (their spatial sound or whatever they call it) is a joke. I don’t think it enhances the sound at all. In fact, music has a hollow quality when using it. Additionally, I prefer the QuietComfort’s buttons to the Ultra’s touch controls, which seemed awkward. Additionally, the Ultra utilize a 35mm driver, while the QuietComfort use a 40mm driver. While the Ultra may be more efficient, I think the low end frequencies suffer compared to the QuietComfort. The Bose QuietComfort are quickly becoming my favorite. The sound quality is second to none. It is noticeably better than the QC 45. The bass is definitely deeper and punchier. The highs and mids are also discernibly better. The highs are brighter and more crisp, though the highs are never harsh on my ears. The 45’s require a lot of equalizer use (+6, 0, -3), while the QuietComfort still require some tinkering, they require a lot less of it to achieve optimum sound (+1, +2, +1). Even at -3 on the EQ for the highs on the 45’s, the higher frequencies feel like they need to be reined in. Indeed, the QuietComfort just sound more refined. The noise cancelling has also improved, though I would say both the Sony XM5’s and the Sonos Aces are a touch better at cancelling most noise. I run an air purifier at arm’s length away from my chair, and a window a/c to supplement the central air, which is directly behind my head. With the XM5’s I can completely eliminate the noise from both while they’re simultaneously running. With the new QuietComfort I can just barely detect the a/c, while with the 45’s I can easily pick up the a/c. The difference here between the Sonys and the new QuietComfort is marginal at best. I should mention that part of Bose’s way to cancel noise is to pump low-volume white noise into the headphones, which seems counterintuitive, but I don’t mind it. Others may mind it, however. The QuietComfort are the most-comfortable to wear, though they are no different than the 45’s in that regard. They are extremely lightweight (though sturdy), and clamp down perfectly tight. I can shake my head back and forth without them shifting, yet they’re not so tight as to prevent wearing them for an extended period of time. I don’t work out, but I would imagine they’d maintain their fit during exercise. They also offer multi-point connectivity, and they (and the 45’s) are the only two pair to switch seamlessly between my LG TV and my iPhone. The XM5’s require using the app, the Sonos don’t do it as easily as advertised while using my tv for some reason and the AirPods Max don’t even offer multipoint functionality. Bose states that you get 24 hour battery life on a full charge, and I’ve found that to be accurate. While that’s less than the Sonos and Sony’s battery life (30 hours), it’s more than the Apple’s (20 hour). I have found the battery life to be sufficient. If you own a pair of 45’s and are looking for an upgrade, then I would say there’s not quite enough of a performance gap to justify the $349 price tag, however, if you catch them on sale for $199 like I did, then I would definitely recommend upgrading. If you’re looking for your first pair, then I would definitely recommend the QuietComfort over all the others I mentioned, even at $349. I hope that helps. Happy Listening!

I was a little apprehensive as I have always used Beats Studio 3, however when they broke I decided to give Bose a try. I read through the reviews and thought I would give them a try and the price was definitely worth the investment. The quality appears to be solid along with the functionality. Wasn’t keen about having to download an App, but it did make the process of connecting flawless. The sound quality is solid along with the noice cancelling feature. Battery life is also good. I have used the headphones for a few days without having to charge it so far. The headphones fold nicely for storage in the carrying case. The fit is tight enough where it won’t slide off. The ear pads are comfortable and deep and doesn’t leave my ears sweating like my Beats did. So if you are thinking about a great sounding headphones that are comfortable, you may want to give these a shot. I haven’t used them for taking a call yet, but can’t foresee that there would be any issues.

Lo más llamativo es el color y el diseño de estos audífonos, son muy bonitos, grandes pero ligeros la verdad es que no se siente traerlos puestos ya que no lastiman ni cansan al paso de traerlos puestos unas horas. Además de la comodidad son fáciles de limpiar.El sonido es de excelente fidelidad, es verdad que el volumen podría ser más alto pero no sería realmente necesario. Lo que más me gustó fue la función de cancelación de ruido, yo personalmente los uso en el gimnasio por lo que usualmente hay mucho ruido y fuerte afuera, sin embargo yo me sumerjo en mi música y el ruido exterior pasa a ser inexistente.Otro punto a destacar es el excelente micrófono que tienen, también suelo usarlos en mi trabajo en llamadas y no he tenido problema de que no me entiendan o no se escuche mi voz lo suficiente.La duración de la batería es buena, además se cargan al 100% en alrededor de 2 horas o quizá menos y la batería al uso que yo les doy me llega a durar 5 días, para mí está más que bien.Nunca había tenido algo de esta marca porque el precio se me hacía bastante elevado y la verdad es que me lo pensé mucho en comprarlos pero si tú al igual que yo estás pensándolo déjame decirte que no te vas a arrepentir porque valen absolutamente cada peso, si les darás un uso diario ten por seguro que será una buena compra.

These headphones are by far the best I’ve ever owned. From a sound, build quality, functionality, ease of use and comfort standpoint. I’ve had use of the Sony WH1000XM4’s for about a year, as well as using older Bose QC45 (wired), Samsung Buds Pro 2 & Airpods 4. These new Bose are the full package and tick every box that other products can’t.I listen to music constantly and these allow me to do it without fiddling or adjustment. In ear headphones never seem to sit right despite liking the portability. The Bose are bulkier compared to an airpod but the actual experience of wearing them is so much more comfortable than having a shiny, slippery, hard peice of plastic crammed in your ear.The quality is top tier. Listening to a podcast with these on can sometimes have me taking the headphones off to check my surroundings as you hear spacial aduio in the room of the podcast that sounds like its around you. It can be a little bit bewildering at first as you can really pinpoint where sounds are coming from. These henhance and emmerse you in songs that I’ve not had in another product.My only slight gripes if I could have any is that you pay extra for the hard shell case. It’s an absolute essential and worth the money but seems a little bit of a steep price for what it is. The AUX cable is a little bit thin and doesn’t feel like it will last a long time, still quality and works well however. The only other point is where Airpods 4 have the one up here, the interactive audio cues for transparency and quite mode is much more pleasant to listen to than the Bose AI voice which sounds like a Windows 98 screen narrator.Otherwise these for me are the winner over the Sony XM4’s. Comfort is similar, build quality and case are too. The bose win it for me very slightly with better ANC, functionality buttons and no swiping interface on the side which I found problematic with Sony. Bose are much easier to use consistently and in general the best to use that I’ve found.Worth the money if you can afford it.
