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

After hunting the Internet for reviews on what headphones to buy and what not to buy, I came across the new Bose Quietcomfort headphones, only released in the latter end of 2023. It was a toss up between these and the rivaling Sony WH1000XM4s, and these come out on top. Firstly, the sound of these headphones are near enough perfect. Straight out of the box, they are well balanced and offer a great amount of bass without distorting whilst also not drowning out the mids and the trebles. The box instructs you to download the Bose app and within this, you can adjust the EQ to your liking. Sound quality is very subjective and it must be understood that when looking at reviews for headphones, you may have different preferences when it comes to sound. And this is where the EQ comes in - you can adjust the bass, mid and trebles. As an audiophile myself, I am geared more towards crisp and non distorted sound whilst also preferring to feel the bass. These headphones do that. I have adjusted the EQ in favour of bass, slightly increasing the mid and favouring more treble too. They have a great balance and will not distort the sound. A tip for testing out these headphones whether at home or in the store would be to search for Spotify playlist specifically created to test out headphones with well produced songs of all genres. The fit is great and they are comfortable (as expected with the name). These are my first headphones due to always using earbuds in the past. They do not feel hot or close to the ear as reported sometimes with the XM4, and after trying out both of the headphones in store I can confidently say these are more comfortable. The build quality is as expected, they feel solid whilst also being lightweight and flexible. I will have to see how these last but judging by previous versions of the Quietcomfort, they will last a long time. I have seen quite a few issues reported online with the XM4 and XM5s breaking that hinge and this is not what you want from headphones whih are designed to fold. The ANC is great and is definitely industry leading. I haven't tried the XM4s NC fully so cannot comment on the comparison however these are far superior to my other wireless earbuds (pixel pro) and airpod pros. ANC on any headphones are not designed to block out 100% of noise however these come close to it. I cannot hear chatter or low frequencies and I believe these will perform well in noisy environments. They do have a slight (really slight) white noise when not playing music in ANC mode however you will not find a pair of headphones that will not as the technology is not advanced enough to do so. The aware mode is equally impressive and allows you to hear what you is around you and hold conversation without feeling like you have headphones on your head. The buttons are easy to use and controls the noise cancelling mode, volume, play/pause and the on and off switch. I do not like headphones/earbuds with swipe functions as they sometimes do not work properly and I struggle to see how physical buttons on these headphones will fail. These are the improved version of the QC45s with the addition of wind block mode which I had read was terrible on the QC45s. The drivers are reported to be better on the newer versions meaning more bass and better sound quality. If you are after a reliable pair of headphones then get these. They are expensive however are a great investment. The XM4s are slightly cheaper however have more reported issues, as with the QC45s.

We bought these for a colleague as we have adopted them as standard kit. if you are in teams calls in loud environments these blank out all the noise. They are comfortable, and easy to set up. The battery life seems good, I have an older set and they are now 6 years old and still have 18 hours battery life. the sound quality/clarity is great, the fit well and are quite durable with spare parts easy to obtain.

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 enhance and immerse 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. *1 month update- windows98 narrator can be turned off in the app. *3 month update - Updated pictures . Still working well and see plenty use. Not useful whilst using power tools/diy work, mic feeds back loud noises even when NC on and filtering wind noise.

The most I ever paid for headphones was $250. But they all had the same problems. Sub par or weak noise cancelling, annoying battery life and were uncomfortable to wear for long periods of time. I decided to take the plunge after watching a couple Youtube reviews. They all had positive things to say about these Bose headphones and said I wouldn't be disappointed. Oh Em Gee they WEREN'T KIDDING! You most definitely get what you pay for! The noise cancelling feature is awesome! It blocks so much noise and muffles out annoying high pitch or loud noises. For example: they completely block out my neighbors who talk loud, TV sounds, light stomping. It completely blocks out all outdoor car sounds. For louder noises such as power tools, hammer banging or very loud bass booming sounds, the headphones actually make them a lot more tolerable. They sound a lot more muffled and when listening to music, if I raise the volume it actually makes those loud sounds almost gone. I love it! The battery life for these things also blew me away. I still can't believe I was able to listen to game audio, TV shows, movies and music for 15+ hours straight from the moment I wake up in the morning to the second I take them off to go to sleep and still have another 8-10 hours for the next day all on a single charge! These things are so comfortable. My ears fit perfectly inside the headphones and it never feels like they're pressing against the legs of my glasses which other headphones create discomfort. Lastly, to those that say they had problems pairing these in Windows 11, they weren't detected at first, but all I did was reboot my PC, re-attempted the pairing and it found them immediately. I also made sure to update my motherboard Bluetooth drivers before the headset was delivered. I'm sure that helped too.

Product great but when I went to register for the warranty was told it had already expired

Lacked a lot of functionality I was expecting

O produto chegou antes do prazo estimado, tudo certinho. Esse Headphone da Bose é muito bom, qualidade de som perfeito e realmente elimina todo ruído externo. Estou muito satisfeito.

Abysmal product listing and returns policy
