QuietComfort 45

Bose QuietComfort 45, my best audio purchases so far.

I find the sound quality to be great. It's not as great as the Sony equivalents, but for me the QuietComfort 45 II are far more comfortable than the Sony ones. I originally got the Sony whatevers many years ago and returned them because after a couple of hours wearing them, my ears really hurt. I ca

So which Bluetooth anc headphones follow the curve all the way and not have any dropped off? I'm not sure. You'd have to research it. The Bose Quiet Comfort 45's do pretty good up to about 8k (follow the red and green lines), which is forgivable compared to Apple dropping the ball at 1k. The Bose QC

My daughter gave me her hand-me-down Bose QuietComfort 45 that she’s had for a few years. I replaced the ear pad and they’re good as new. I’ve had them for an extra 3 years and they show no sign of slowing down. Sound and quality worth every penny.

Battery life is very good too, I charge them maybe once a week with regular use. The noise cancellation system is a

I feel you on this. I think it would be a good idea to formally submit your feedback to them via email if you can. Have you ever tried wearing headphones that allow some audio from your environment to pass through along with music? I have three pairs of headphones that do this in different ways: Bos

I got these headphones as an upgrade for my Bose quiet comfort 45 after having them since 2022 and I was as not impressed tbh. It felt like I was listening to my music through cotton wool or a sheet of tissue paper. I sent them back and still use my Bose quiet comfort 45’s.

Love me some Hans Zimmer. Literally the Nolan Batman movies was how I discovered Zimmer all those years ago. Then other movies like Interstellar and Inception. That aside my take would be in the traditional QCs. I won't lie Bose just doesn't replicate that sound signature like their older headphones
