Met my high expectations. Couldn't download app to iphone since it required latest operating system which my phone did not support. I was still able to successfully connect to Sony tv and Lenovo laptop easily and quickly.

I bought this during black friday, is awesome! i love the color the size, but my only issue and concerned is that for a couple of second the song i'm listening to would stop and Ive never experienced something like that with my previous headphones and Ive used the beat headphone , amazon headphones but it does it every time i use it so I'm not sure if theres a problem with my mobile or the headphones that is still adjusting.

They are enjoyable. Little confusing getting hooked up with app (crappy). Needs simplified. Got myself a set and then 2 other people and each one had difficulty. I helped after what I learned.

I like the controls but for working out the fit is more sloppy, to bad you don't add adjustment for different heads

the microphone quality isnt all that great , constantly having to turn the headphones off & on because the buttons dont work to answer calls or change music $20 wired headphones genuinely might just be better ALSO the headphones cut out whenever i play music or make some kind of distorted noise

Bought these to replace some old noise cancelling headphones. These are so much more comfortable and lightweight. Easy to use, battery charge lasts forever.

I bought these for my daughter 2 almost 3 years ago and they still work like new so I decided to buy them for myself. Sound quality is great, comfortable around my head and ears. Noise cancellation is also great.

These headphones are awesome, settings include aware and quiet, can be controlled by your phone. These are a replacement pair, my older ones need new earphone pads. I'll have two pairs now. :)Bose always has my vote on anything I own.

I have had Bose ear buds for a long time. The sound is far better than anything I've owned before so I couldn't wait to get these headphones . They are so clear and the sound is amazing! I can actually hear parts of music I never heard before. Well made and great quality.

The physical switches and controls are a great feature, making them easy to use. The sound quality and noise cancellation are top-notch in the industry; listening to music with these headphones allows you to completely immerse yourself in your own world. When watching movies, the immersive experience makes you feel like you're actually inside the screen. Connecting them is also very easy.

I purchased this as an upgrade for my mom. She had her previous pair a long time and was happy with them but then she got a puppy who got a hold of them so I got her the new pair for her birthday. She loves them so much and I'm glad I got them for her. She says they are comfortable and loved the noise cancelling they provide especially for flights. They also honored the price match without hassle when they went on sale from the price I paid.

I am happy with how quickly Bose shipped out my product. I am happy with their selection of colors. I will say do your research because I find it upsetting that Bose sells their product for a higher price than Costco and Sam's Club around Black Friday and Christmas. Do your due diligence and save $30-$40 like I did not I just assumed that the company would have the best price and this was not the case. Disappointed in this knowledge.

I would love to be able to review these. But Bose shipped me an empty box. When I contacted them they were very unhelpful. I had to call and chat multiple times and the are now trying to put the loss off on UPS, even though it was pretty obvious an empty box was shipped. It's been 3 weeks and I still do not have my headphones or a refund.

Love the earphones, don't like the fact the instructions don't explain or show in the pictures the features of the item. Had no idea how to turn them on, still don't know where the volume is, and God forbid trying to refold them to put back in their zippered container.

I have Parkinson's Disease and am hard of hearing. Even with hearing aids I could not hear or understand what people were saying over the phone. I bought 2 headsets from other manufacturers. Not only could I not hear what the person was saying, they could not hear me! My husband always took matters into his own hands and bought me Bose Quiet Comfort headphones. The headphones have a built in mike.. I was never so pleased with a purchase! They work beautifully!. The sound is incredible! Even just conversations sound incredible!

Very good sound quality especially the bass reproduction. Extremely comfortable and lightweight. The only downside, and I'm being super critical here: a slight background hiss and active noise cancelling is not as quiet as I had expected

I bought this to compare against my quietcomfort ultra headphones, as these have larger audio drivers (40mm vs 35mm, I believe). The sound quality is indeed slightly inproved. I didn't much care for the QC ultra's gimmicky, power-hungry "immersive" audio feature, which was effectively a glorified reverb filter that obliterated any nuances the sound stage might possess by scooping the mids, so the QC are effectively an upgrade. This pair has physical controls instead of the QC ultra's chintzy "multifunction" button and frustratingly sensitive and inconveniently placed touch controls (I cannot tell you how many times I accidentally switched sound mode or increased/decreased the volume), which is excellent. The size adjustment band uses a ratcheting mechanism instead of the QC ultra's indeterminate sliding mechanism, which is also excellent, as with the QC ultra, I had to use an ultra-fine point sharpie pen to mark the exact size band for my head, as there are no indicator marks. Now for the downsides. The construction feels noticably cheaper, as they don't have that pleasant weightyness of the QC ultra. In addition, the hinges for the earcups don't actuate as far and aren't nearly as smooth, meaning folding the headphones is a bit of a chore and they always feel like they're being put under stress that might lead to failure. The QC has less microphones than the QC ultra, so the quality of its hearthrough function is abysmal in comparison. With the QC ultra, there is no difference in using hearthrough and removing the headphones, it's that good. With the QC, I find myself having to take them off to properly hear my surroundings. It's annoying. I assume call quality will be worse due to the lesser number of microphones, but I have not yet had the opportunity to test this. Logically, due to this difference in construction, the noise cancelling is also inferior to the QC ultra, but only slightly, to my surprise. The Bluetooth codec used is older (5.1 vs 5.4), and they don't possess fast-pair, which is rather vexing. One thing that really annoyed me about both headphones is that they don't have an intermediate setting. You either have to be using hearthrough or noise cancellation. There is no "off" setting that relies solely on the headphones earcups to isolate noise. I wish there was, as it would likely improve the already impressive 25-30 hour battery life significantly. For me, both products miss the mark in various important, irritating ways. The ideal pair of quietcomfort headphones would combine the features and build qualities of both into one. A pair of headphones that has actual physical controls with dedicated, nice-feeling, smushy buttons (so you don't hear annoying/loud clicks every time you adjust the volume); the indeterminate sliding band of the QC ultra, but with periodic markings so you can accurately gauge the perfect size and remember it for later without having to deface the product; the microphones and hearthrough of the QC ultra, but with improved noise cancellation that isn't just pumping white noise into the headphones, but actually using the microphones to generate sound waves with destructive interference in real time, as the noise cancelling headphones used by the aviation industry do; the earcup hinges of the QC ultra; the weightyness of the QC ultra; the same or larger drivers as the QC; the fast-pair functionality of the QC ultra, but with more multi-point connectivity; and the ability to turn off hearthrough/noise cancelling for more battery life. That would be the ideal, perfect pair of headphones. Now, if only Bose could deliver such a product at an affordable price. I got both my headphones when they were on sale ($250 new for the QC ultra, and $199 used, like new for the QC), but the MSRP for them is ridiculous for what they offer with their flaws, especially when compared to their competition or even a good pair of earbuds. So, do I recommend them? Yes, but only because there isn't a viable alternative that doesn't come with major compromises, and only when they're on sale.

I bought the QC headset to replace my older one. The older ones battery loses its charge sooner than it used to. I had it for many years and love the quality of music and comfort from these headsets.I use the headset while operating power equipment so I can listen to music, while blocking out the harmful noises from the equipment.

crystal clear, comfortable, robust and elegant
By high l.
juat got my first pair of noise cancelling headphones as a pre birthday gift and i am completely in awe with the quality of the quite comfort series. perfect sound, perfect shape, size and fit. they feel and look so nice even to just touch them. super elegant and super well balanced sound with the app also giving you some 3 band EQ control. never going back to any other bluetooth headphones.
The best sound
By Regulo
The best sound ever. Love it. It is so amazing. It's highly recommended for professional musicians.
Take charge of your music and stride along to the beat. High-fidelity audio and legendary noise cancellation work their magic by sealing you in, eliminating distractions, and letting you dive deep into your own rhythm. Toggle between Quiet and Aware Modes, or create a Custom Mode and adjust outside sound to the moment. The design is iconic and the comfort lasting, while an optional audio cable with an in-line microphone plugs you into sound as bold as you, even without a Bluetooth® connection.
Seal yourself in with high-fidelity audio, eliminate distractions, and dive deep into your music.

Shut out the world with Quiet Mode, enjoy full transparency with Aware Mode, or blend the two with a Custom Mode in the Bose Music app.

Plush cushions softly hug your ears, while a comfortable yet secure band works to keep the headphones in place when you’re on the go.

Keep your marathon playlists playing with up to 24 hours of battery life.

Adjustable EQ allows you to crank the bass, tweak the treble, and balance the mid-range to get the sound that best suits you.

With SimpleSync technology, pair your headphones and a Bose smart soundbar to binge your favorite show without disturbing others.
