Bose QuietComfort Headphones Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones

Excellent Noise Cancellation for the Gym and Travel!

I absolutely love these headphones! I use them at the gym and when traveling for work, which involves flying multiple times a month. The noise cancellation is fantastic! At the gym, I can tune out all the background noise and just focus on my workout and music. On airplanes, they do an excellent job of drowning out the constant engine noise, making traveling much more enjoyable.

The sound quality is excellent, the battery life is great, and I love being able to turn the noise cancellation on and off depending on my surroundings. For the price, I feel like these were an excellent purchase. I actually liked them so much that I bought another pair for my son!

My only complaint is the fit during certain movements. If I'm moving my head around a lot or bending forward at the gym, they can slide forward and sometimes fall off. Not a dealbreaker, but definitely something to consider if you're planning to use them during more active workouts.

One other small thing: it took me a few tries to figure out how to get them positioned correctly in the carrying case. Thankfully, the reference picture helped!

Overall, I'm extremely happy with these headphones. Between the sound quality, noise cancellation, battery life, and price, they've been a great purchase for both working out and frequent travel. Highly recommend!

Great headphones!

This is the first pair of over the ear headphones I’ve ever owned other than a fairly crappy pair I use for PC gaming. I’m thoroughly impressed and very happy with my purchase.

TLDR: Good sound quality, good noise cancellation, easy to set up, comfortable, cute, worth purchasing!

The sound quality is great. The bass is addictive and the volume can get really loud if you want to burst your eardrums (like me). I’m no music/headphone expert, but the sound is fantastic and with lossless audio it sounds like people are singing directly into my ears lol. The noise cancellation is fantastic even without any audio playing. I put them on and could barely hear my partner talking to me. When you have music on, even at a relatively low volume, you can’t hear ANYTHING. I’m really looking forward to using these on an upcoming 12 hour plane trip. One thing I will mention though, is that if you have the volume REALLY high, there is some noise leakage. But I would say under 70% volume you’re fine.

They’re really comfortable and I’ve worn them for hours with no issues. The cushioning on the ears makes it feel like nothing’s there at all. I have a fairly large head, like so large most sunglasses don’t fit on my face :’) but these fit so comfortably without hurting my head like I expected they would. I’ve ran/walked/danced wearing these and they stay put!

It took literally 10 seconds to connect to my phone and all I had to do was hold a button on the headphones. The app they have is great too. There’s an equalizer that allows for extra customization.

They’re also just cute headphones!! I know this part isn’t as important as all the other points, but I feel cute wearing them! Some headphones have a weird shape or sit funny on your head but these look normal and are kind of a vibe to wear!

Overall I would recommend these headphones! Granted, I got them during a sale for about $170, but if you have the money to spend or want to wait for another sale, I would 100% say they’re worth purchasing.

Comfortable and Great Sound

Even though I'm not a gamer and don't have these on 24/7, I still wanted to be able to enjoy the videos and music on my PC comfortably. These Bose headphones hits the spot. They connected so very easily to my iPhone and PC, and included not only the charging cord, but a direct headphones to PC cord should I ever need it, and a very nice carrying case. The sound is awesome and the volume easily controlled. Their durability and compatibility are fantastic and, to me, very well worth the money I paid for them. I trust Bose quality.

Comfortable and great sound quality

Very comfortable over the ears. Perfect sound quality from Bose. Cancels out other noises. Perfect for plane. Nice carrying case too.

Bose QuietComfort Headphones (1st Gen) - Underwhelming

When they arrived, I was totally wowed by the amazing unboxing experience and the careful attention to detail around the packaging, case, accessories and of course the headphones themselves. They totally blew my mind initially for the sound quality and comfort and I was thrilled with my purchase. That being said, the issues started a few weeks later.

Issue 1: By mid-Jan 2026 I had encountered numerous instances while connected via Bluetooth to either my phone or my laptop, that parties on phone calls or video conference calls complained that they could not hear me properly when I was speaking. I called the support line and was offered the option to be sent a replacement headset, which I was very impressed with at the level of support being given by Bose. Unfortunately once the agent discovered that I was based in the Caribbean, I was told that I would need to contact the UK support number. I attempted this and was given the same response by the UK support team, namely that they did not provide support for to the Caribbean.

Issue 2: In March 2026, I was still experiencing the same issues as in 1 above in addition to a new issue now while listening to a song or video clip on my mobile phone (with headphones connected via Bluetooth), the sound would sometimes suddenly stop for a period and only after a few moments it would resume with some crackling interference. This issue would happen intermittently, but once it started it was fairly consistent for several hours. I engaged the US support and received the same response as before, namely that they could not assist me.

Issue 3: In late September 2026 the seam of the cover on one of the ear cups split, revealing the foam inner. A few days later the same thing happened with the seam on the other ear cup. Now both ear cups have split seams with foam sticking out. I again approached the US support and after speaking with Agents for 1 hour 45 minutes to explain the issue, provide address details, I was firstly told that I would need to purchase new ear cups myself as these are not covered under warranty. Then, when I reminded the support agent of issues 1 and 2, I was first told that a refurbished headphone could be sent to me, but then told that they could not do so for the Caribbean and that I would need to contact the UK support team.

I was left very much dismayed with the overall quality and support provided for such a premium product. There are some fantastic aspects to this product, it is a real pity though that the company does not seem to stand behind it's name in terms of supporting it's customers on a global basis.

Simply the best I love these

Haven’t had a set of bones headphones, ever only had the earphones. These are fantastic wireless. I can walk all the way out to my front yard from my house almost across the street long distance long battery Bike A+.

Way better than the competition!

This is one of the best headphones!

I’ve tried many headphones from the XM3s to the Nothing Headphone As, and this one is the best out of all of them. The quality of plastic is really good and durable. This pair of headphones has one of the best transparency modes I’ve ever used; compared to the XM4s and XM5’s these sweep the floor. It’s very similar to AirPods Pro and Pro Max, where the sounds are actually natural. I also love how these are physical buttons compared to touch controls, so you don’t mispress or mistouch them. Adding on, getting these at $169 or $188 is extremely worth it. Pairing is so easy too; you just slide it across. Finally, they are very light, and you will absolutely be able to wear them for long periods. If these are only the baseline headphones, then I can’t imagine how good the Quiet-Comfort Ultras are.

Super comfortable and the noise cancellation is amazing

I’ve been really happy with these Bose QuietComfort headphones. They’re very comfortable and lightweight, even when I wear them for a longer period of time. Its the perfect size and so comfy.

The noise cancellation is probably my favorite feature—it really helps block out background noise when I just want to listen to music or relax. The sound is clear with really nice bass, and the battery lasts a long time between charges. I also love the White Smoke color because it looks so clean and pretty. Definitely one of my favorite headphones I’ve owned

High Price; Poor Quality

Ear pad laminate is pealing apart, which is frustrating. Why cheap out on the glue? Or why not wrap it in a way there is not a seam to split? Happened to both ear pads just a few days apart.

I like these. They are comfortable and work pretty well. Not sure if they are better than SoundCore and other less expensive options.

No matter the inflated price you pay for these, it’s literally the same hardware and cheap materials everyone is using. I don’t think these are worth a premium price. If they are under $200 go for it. Above that and I’d buy something else. Just not worth it.

Designed by someone without hair.

I actually love these headphones. I love them right up to the point when I have to take them off my head. They rip my hair out every. single. time. Am I alone in thinking it's silly that I should have to do my hair every time I want to use headphones? Come on, Bose.

5 stars for Bluetooth connection

Obsessed with these! The aware/quiet modes are both great and easy to switch back and forth. Sound quality through Bluetooth is great the missing star is for the wired connection sound being very staticky. Love the purple color and how they feel on. Pictures are in September I got them in April, I did have covers for the pads that were removed for the picture. They came with a soft case as well

Quality sound but be weary of the ear cushions if you use them often!

Overall I really nice pair of noise cancelling headphones, much better than the Powerbeats I had purchased. Even when off I get a little noise cancelling. I’ve used these on a plane and I can’t even hear the engine starting up. They’re pretty good for working out too. The fit is quite snug so they don’t slip off while I work out and sometimes I do fall asleep with them on and they stay on for the entire time I’m sleep. Battery last a very long time too. I really do enjoy these and the color. Pretty easy to connect and soon as they connect you can enjoy setting up your own noise cancelling setting. The only set back is that the ear cushions don’t last very long. I’ve had them less than a year and I’ve already had to replace the ear cushions. Thankfully they’re easy to find and replace by yourself. I give it a four stars for that part of the quality it lacks. Besides that everything else is well worth the purchase!

Ear pads wore out after a couple years but were replaceable

These have been great headphones, but after wearing them daily for just over two years, the foam on the left ear has become exposed. I wish there was a way to repair it because I can't bring myself to spend that much money again, knowing they'll eventually just fall apart.

EDIT: After I posted this, I found replacement ear pads for like 12 bucks. They were pretty easy to install and now the headphones are like new again. Updated my rating to 5 stars.

Phenomenal Sound and Absolute Comfort!

I’ve been using the Bose QuietComfort Ultra headphones for a while now, and they are worth every single penny.The Noise Cancellation is Magic: The ANC completely eliminates background noise. Whether it's the roar of an airplane engine, office chatter, or general street traffic, it blocks out almost everything perfectly.Incredible Comfort: They are lightweight and the ear cushions are incredibly soft. I can wear them for hours at work or during long travel days without any clamping pressure or ear fatigue.Immersive Audio: The new spatial audio feature is a game-changer. It makes you feel like the music or movie is playing live in the room right in front of you instead of directly inside your ears.Great Battery and Mics: The battery easily gets me through multiple days of use, and phone calls are crystal clear on both ends.If you want premium sound, the absolute best noise cancellation on the market, and all-day comfort, you cannot go wrong with these. Highly recommended!

Little big for my face but works good

Bose QC vs Beats Studio pro

I’ll get straight to the point. I bought these to compare to Beats Studio pro as I was trying to see which is better for me. People complain about the bass or sound right out the box and how it’s better on these Bose headphones. The Beats Studio pros are better in that department (once you toggle with eq settings on Spotify/Apple Music). Everything else, the sound quality, noise cancellation, comfort and durability are comparable. I’ll give it to the Bose QC also for having a bit of a lighter feel. Everything is based on preference but the bass is definitely better on the Beats. If it means anything to yall, my wife (who hates beats) agrees with my take as well.

Honest review (why I’m returning)

Honest review so read if you are curious about these headphones.

They are not bad if you don’t mind everyone hearing what you are listening to very clearly. Noise leakage begins at only half volume which is pretty quiet. I recorded myself in a semi quiet environment and still heard clearly what I was listening to. (VIDEO INCLUDED)

Overall the max volume isn’t that loud and the bass/sound isn’t that great of quality for the price you pay. They are comfortable and noise canceling is great. That’s the pro side but not much pros if everyone else around you hears your audio… I was really excited for these ones especially since so many reviewers recommended them. It’s too bad.

This is the reason I will be returning them for a different brand since I need a pair for gym and studying in quiet places.

I’m going to try Beats Studio pro and see if those are any better. Since they are the same price on sale right now.

Update Beats Studio pros are so much better!!! Get those over these ones for sure. I got the brown color and it’s pretty. No leaking sound at max volume. And noise canceling was insane.

Overall great headphones

These are my first headphones I’ve owned and I was looking for some “all in one” Goldilocks headphones and these are them!

Aesthetics & Comfort: the color options are so pretty, they look good and actually fit on my very small head. They are soooo soft and I can wear them all day for work.

Noise canceling: I don't do well with overlapping and competing noises, so I needed these to block out office chit chat at work, as well as my loud gaming hubby when I’m gaming at home. I find that the noise canceling is good, but not 100% if you’re listening to something quiet. You can customize it to different levels and save those modes of noise canceling, which I like if I need just a little bit of quiet or complete quiet.

Sound quality: I think the sound quality is good, and furthermore, you can customize if you want more bass, mid, or treble.

Connectivity & Mic: They connect to all my devices quite well and can be connected to 2 at once, so I can get calls on Teams from my work laptop while playing music from my phone. The mic seems great and these also do noise suppression so your callers don’t hear background noise.

Battery Life: I use these 8 hours each day and I charge them like twice a week :)

I waited for them to be on sale for like $200 so these were an incredible investment and I’m so happy with them. Comfy, high quality, and easy💛🐻🐻🐻 Goldilocks approved

These Are Worth Their Weight In Gold.

I tested these headphones in a variety of settings, and I would describe them not as completely noise cancelling, but as significantly noise reducing. I have a baby and two toddlers, and sometimes my only break all day is provided by these headphones. I can put them on while still taking care of my kids and listen to a podcast or music for a sensory break. I can still hear my kids if they shout or scream, but my senses are able to really relax and reset thanks to these headphones.

One of my favorite features is the ambient aware button, which takes these from noise cancelling (or reducing) mode to full ambient aware. This means I can listen to a podcast while also hearing 100% of everything going on around me. I use this the most when I'm outside running or on a walk and want to listen to something but also for safety reasons need to be aware of what's going on around me. It's also helpful for when I'm at home with the kids and want to listen to music in the background but also need to be able to hear them talking to me.

I also love that I can pause and unpause whatever I am playing on my phone directly from a button on my headphones. With a household of constant interruptions...I use this feature way more than I ever thought I would. I also can adjust the volume directly on the headphones too. I can literally leave my phone charging in the other room and control what I need from the headphones alone, despite constant interruptions from my kids.

These are also super comfy - they have padded ear muffs and are padded at the top. They stay put when I'm running, which is a huge plus. The material of the headphones also allows me to wipe them down after a run, so they stay clean.

I have a baby who had colic as a newborn, which is what made me initially invest in these. As someone who is easily overstimulated by loud persistent sounds, these headphones were worth their weight in gold. I still heard my baby screaming, but these significantly muffled the high pitch of the screaming, and I'd be happily singing along while changing his diaper despite his shrieking...instead of losing my mind like I was without them. I am a much better Mom because of these headphones. Thank you Bose, seriously.

Good!! BUT… the connection is lowkey buns

Comfortable, functional, and aesthetically pleasing to wear.

The sound cancellation option is actually really good for the price. You have the option to turn it off as well. And when you download the app, you are able to toggle the noise cancellation strength along with connections and button command on which one controls what on your phone. (Ie: calls, Siri, volume, skipping). Sound is really good!

The cushion on the ears and on the band on top is very nice. I don’t have a melon head, but the size adjustment and flexibility is melon head friendly.

Mind you, I’m not headphone expert and upgraded from beat up cheap $70 JBL headphones that were begging me to stop using them. So, take the review how you will.

Battery life last a looooong time. I just charge em for about 30 min to an hour when I’m preoccupied and they practically last me the whole day and then some.

Con: my biggest gripe with them is that when you have multiple devices connected (I only connect my laptop and my phone), the connection has intervals of interruption. Sometimes, they will tweak out (despite keeping up with updates) and just drop the connection all together which require me to turn em off and on. So the biggest issue is the connection being a tad unreliable.

Best headphones

Best headphones period, Bose is Bose, if you own you know, sleek design, stone color is beautiful, lightweight compared to previous models, good battery life, Bose app allows to adjust EQ for a more personalize profile, only cons are shortcut button only has 2 options (battery life or Spotify) and charging cable is too short, but other than that these headphones are superb in every way. Noise cancellation? What noise? Buy them!

Mid Noise Cancelling/Cool Features On The App

I just got these in the mail today. I love the colors of these, they are more of beige than white. I have a smaller head so they don’t fit me as well as I wish they would. They do fit nicely on my ears though.

The noise cancelling is not as great as I thought it’d be. You can still hear everything around you. The only modes are quiet and aware. There isn’t much of a difference other than it removes white noise and muffles voices. However when music is playing you can’t hear anything or it’s even more muffled if the music is quieter. You can also create other modes on the app, like wind cancelling for outdoors.

The Bluetooth connected immediately after unplugging them. They didn’t connect when I had them charging.

There are tons of cool features on the app like equalizer and you can change the action button to open up Spotify which is nice.

You can skip songs, end calls, answer calls, turn the volume up and down just from your headphones. You can also set up auto off for them to shut off in five minutes or up to an hour. This helps save battery life. I also put the bass and everything up to 10 and the music got a LOT louder.

The mic is a little fuzzy/windy when recording videos. Could just be the headphones brushing up against things though.

As for durability I think they will last a while. Fingers crossed. They do seem like they could break very easily so I wouldn’t suggest using these for the gym. I wish they canceled sound more than they do. It would help with people who have a harder time focusing. If they were to just wear the headphones with no music.

Dirty headphones right out of the box!!!

Horrible packaging and when I pull them out of the box there is BLUE DYE ON THE EAR CUSHIONS… I ORDERED PINK!!!!! Yes they work they sound great but why there is blue on there looking like it’s been used before idk you tell me 👎

Love these headphones! 5 stars

Love these! Very high quality materials & the best noise cancellation you can get. Will be comparing these to my AirPod Maxs!

DO NOT BUY! Safety Issue

Wish I could give zero stars! I was so excited for these to arrive. Literally just opened the box and took them out of the case for the first time and immediately got the skin of my thumb caught in the section that folds and swivels the ear piece. Absolutely painful and can only imagine if someone younger like my teenage son tried them. These are highly dangerous and should be recalled. Contacted Bose to put in a safety issue complaint and of course they don’t have a department for that. Real nice… will never buy another single thing from them ever again.

No charge, no block, 60 days for warranty assistance.

I’d caution against purchasing this product. Any problems within the return policy of this company would seem to require anyone in Hawaii to pay for the return and basic box size costs around $24.00 with upwards of $4.00 to insure it because it’s over $200.00. That’s just if you decide you need to return it. The Bose warranty is decent but my experience is that the warranty requires you to return it to Bose first and then they replace it and it all takes about 60days that you won’t have this super pricey headphones. Having said that, here’s my review: the sound quality is average. Even using their Bose app the most you can do is choose presets and adjust the EQ a bit. The internal ai is difficult to hear, interrupted Siri when phone calls come in. Even though it interrupted and overrode SIRI it didn’t automatically switch from Audible app to the call! It just keeps repeating that you have a call and it tells you that you’re connected to your iPhone. Um, not sure what good that was supposed to be but it’s amazingly irritating and you still have to MANUALLY choose the headphones on the phone app. The voice is robotic and,unlike Siri, doesn’t do anything to help you answer the call. During the time that the headphones are spouting this silliness, the buttons to answer the call DON’T WORK. The noise cancellation is not even as good as my NC25’s and although it has a “modes” setting on the app with a “windy conditions” setting in its “Outdoor” mode, it doesn’t do much to increase or improve sound quality within the headphones because it doesn’t really block outside noise well. When I need noise cancellation I really want the headphones to actually block all noise so I can meditate or listen to books or music without any interference or distractions. This headphones doesn’t do that job. The mic quality is scratching and picks up all the noise around you during the call you finally manually accept because the voice is nattering on unintelligibly and actually ends up amplifying the sounds around you. That’s terrible 😣 the ear size is adjustable upwards or down but the inner ear area isn’t padded at all and the padding on the outer ears is minimal and not very comfortable so that my tiny ears kept rubbing against the inner plastic and ended up being painful after a bit. I couldn’t experience the length of time that it would keep doing something because IT DID NOT HAVE A CHARGER BLOCK and I wasn’t able to get it to work with any adapter I own (6 different ones) so it never could charge and the charger light wouldn’t go on. And after 24 hours it was still at 40% according to the headphones voice… I couldn’t say much about its durability except that the plastic ear parts felt flimsy and it would need delicate handling. The headband squeezed my head very badly (I sincerely have a pretty small head width and I wear a size small hat size to give you an idea of my head size!) and after about 30 minutes it hurts to the point of pain and I took it off until the pain decreased. no matter how I tried to adjust it using the “sizer” parts on the top on both sides, this badness was the usual. The volume control worked but because the app doesn’t do much besides let you adjust the eq a bit, I didn’t get the sound that was clear and bottom heavy. This box didn’t come with ANY startup manual except a bit of info about their app that’s on the box but the app doesn’t really tell you how to do anything besides check battery and use preset settings. the app doesn’t do much so I couldn’t even get sound equal to an NC25 which is a super inexpensive headphone. It’s not worth the price or the bother. In this price range you should get premium service that doesn’t take 60 days turnaround that leaves you without your headset for 2 months and requires you to send your headset first in order to get the replacement. It’s possible that because I’m not rich I just don’t have enough of something in the qualifications department to rate this headphones properly but if Bose is catering to “regular people” like me who wants the best quality sound at the $300.00 price range then maybe they should think a bit about what people they want as customers. I’m sadly disappointed in Bose over this headset. I’ve owned a couple of their clock radios and they are awesomeness incarnate! These headphones just kinda don’t have the same Bose that we’ve all come to expect and deserve. I wish they’d just redesign the thing and move forward.

Pros and cons, but look elsewhere for working from home

I purchased these headphones for the purpose of working from home in a call center environment for 8hr a day. My main reasons for purchasing were: to go wireless, and increase comfort. I am often in meetings and calls for hours at a time, and the headphones my organization provided were painful.

On my first day of use, I noticed a couple issues. First issue is that on Windows and Mac the microphone volume is far too low. Nobody on Microsoft Teams or my call center software could hear me. I needed to install a separate application to artificially boost the microphone by around 20dB. Second issue I noticed is regarding having two devices connected at the same time. Example: If you are actively streaming audio from a Windows computer, and then your iPhone gets a text notification, the headphones will cut the audio from the Windows computer to play the iPhone notification. When this happens, your Bluetooth connection either drops, or the audio quality gets very bad (crackling, stutters, etc) and you need to disconnect/reconnect devices.

On my second day of use, I experienced random drops in audio quality and needed to power off/on the headphones 3 times.

Bose has many suggestions and troubleshooting steps in their support articles, which I have gone through. That being said, these headphones are fine. I will keep them and enjoy them for my work (when they are working) and enjoy them for traveling. That being said, I do wish I would have gone with a Microsoft Teams certified device instead for my purposes. This product appears to be more intended for casual use as opposed to professional use.

The sound quality is very good compared to my Sennheiser HD598. Audio is very clear, especially in the mid to high frequencies. Other reviews mention a lack of bass, but I found the bass to be MORE than enough. The active noise cancellation has a huge impact on music listening; I feel like the sound stage is very wide as I can hear many details in songs I haven't picked up on before.

Noise cancellation is insanely good. I don't have a great basis for comparison, but it's almost eerie how silent the world is when you have these on. At most, I can barely hear a super loud fan a few feet away, or I barely hear the faucet when washing dishes. I look forward to using these while doing chores around the house!

Comfort and fit is great for only 2 days of use. They are much more comfortable than I expected, as I have a big head and typically need to "break in" headphones a little bit longer. I had these headphones on for hours and they didn't give me any issues.

Overall, despite the annoying connection issues I have with these things I am going to keep them. I like them enough to where I am willing to work around these issues for now. The next time I need to travel these are going to be a life saver. I can't wait to finally sleep on planes! If you're working from home, I would recommend seeking a Microsoft Teams certified pair of headphones.

Product is great case is horrible

The product works and does what it needs too but for over 150$ headphones gthe case Bose made for them is trash. Sadly it cross threads and un-hooks it is overall a terrible design of the case. If you purchase these expect to buy a case for them that actually works.. i open and closed it very little and it just doesnt work anymore. Sadly my return window closed so I have to deal with a poor case or just buy another case..

Above average, very light, great sound

I’m a layperson, so let me first say I purchased these after much research but based on a “general audience’s” needs. What I mean by that, is my boyfriend mixes music, and while these are high quality this review isn’t for those types of people. This is for more layperson type of needs.

1. I actually used chat gpt to compare and contrast numerous headphones based on my desires so if you’re needing help choosing that was very helpful to me.

2. My needs were as follows: light, comfortable, noise cancelling, color, Bluetooth across devices, and ease of app use.

3. I discovered that these headphones outdo their Sony competition specifically because they’re lighter and they don’t drop Bluetooth when you move to your computer from your phone for example. I found Sony has issues trying to switch back to your phone when on computer.

Bluetooth is very important to me and a top need. I switch between devices enough for that to be a serious issue for me.

4. I have a tiny head and am a 5’2 woman. I don’t have large proportions. For example my boyfriend is 6 foot with a large head and headphone weight won’t affect him the same way. For me headphones can literally be too heavy and fatiguing so my other main qualifier was that these are lighter than all but 1 of the top 7 brands out there.

5. The cushion on these is shockingly luxurious and an added bonus.

6. I get a mean case of sensitive ears, I always have. When I run my ears ache, in the cold my ears ache, if I am in a plane they ache. I am part of a certain population percentage (I’ve googled it’s around 30% but fact check me- this is for you though if you are like me) who have ear canals that actually can be very painful with the wrong pressure. For this reason I’m fairly picky about headphones which apply a significant amount of pressure. These headphones have not triggered this issue for me.

7. I wanted good plane headphones and these will be great if I lean my head on the window area. The band doesn’t dig.

8. They look really nice.

9. The color options are cute

10. The case is nice

11. I heard for Sony there was popping on phone calls and it therefore became between these and Apple however apples are very very heavy. I ended up going with these for that reason. I have used them for numerous phone calls and haven’t had the issues, and people hear me easily and have had no issues hearing me. I did have popping once but I think it’s on the end of the person you’re on the phone with. My cousin was in his car shouting into his Bluetooth and I feel if he had been quieter it wouldn’t have happened. The popping has never occurred with music and is specific to a loud shout from someone on their own CarPlay so no biggie. Otherwise zero pop

12. The noise cancelling is exceptional, I put them on and don’t play anything, but can no longer hear my AC at all. You understand generally the sound of constant AC. Like vrrrrrrrrr. It’s completely gone.

13. Soothing without music to just make things less loud. Suitable for autistics who want a quieting incognito headphone that changes, also more comfy than alternative ear covers. (I am AuDHD.)

14. Music can get really loud and nice lots of depth (layerperson opinion but my boyfriend said the sound quality is great and the next step up is just studio mixing headphones)

15. If you wait for prime day or other sales they’re 150$ off usually (better than every other competitors prime or Black Friday deals)

16. They seem durable and collapse in many ways so you can’t easily break them.

17. The app has had no issues for me. Online there’s some app complaints and I have not run into them at all. The app seems to me very easy to navigate.

I love it

I'm wearing glasses and earings all the time, I have airpods but at the end of like 3 calls my ears were melting. My bf has those Bose in black and I decided to try because I had a set of Marhsalls but was too painful because of the glasses and earings. This Bose headphones are perfect, the noise cancellation is perfect, good range, I struggle a little bit with Teams because don't recognized the microphone of Bose so just swith to the microphone of the laptop but works perfect in other devices and platforms, battery last more than 4 days.
