Product details
You can already feel it when you put on the headphones. The soft cushions gently enclose your ears. As soon as you switch on the headphones, the world fades into the background and the music begins.
The original is back - noise-cancelling headphones with first-class noise reduction (and Aware mode), maximum wearing comfort thanks to incredibly lightweight materials and exclusive acoustic technology for powerful, crystal-clear sound. The perfect symbiosis of noise reduction, wearing comfort and top sound. It all started with Acoustic Noise Cancelling technology, the result of over 50 years of research. Bose's world-class technology uses tiny microphones that continuously detect, measure and respond to ambient noise. The noise is then reduced with an appropriate counter signal - for less distraction and more music. The button on the left earcup lets you choose between Quiet mode for complete noise reduction and Aware mode for ambient awareness.
Aware mode lets you sense your surroundings. Microphones pick up the sounds around you and the headphones reproduce them faithfully. So you can hear your music and your surroundings at the same time. So everything sounds - and feels - like you're not wearing headphones at all. Music, podcasts, and videos. That's your favorite content. That's why Bose designed the QC45 headphones with exclusive Bose technologies like TriPort sound architecture and volume-optimized Active EQ, so you can enjoy it all with crystal-clear sound. TriPort sound architecture increases the acoustic volume of the earcups for deeper, fuller sound - while maintaining the same dimensions. The result is smaller, lighter and even more comfortable headphones with better audio quality. Volume-optimized Active EQ also boosts highs and lows for balanced sound at any volume. With soft music, the bass remains even, and with loud music, the sound remains clear.
However, unique top-quality sound also requires the right level of comfort. Here too, the QuietComfort headphones impress with their focus on the smallest details. For example, smooth, wrinkle-free ear pads, soft leatherette and low contact pressure. You might almost forget you're wearing them at all - even after hours of listening to music. The speech capture of the QC45 headphones, which now feature a fourth external microphone, is second to none. The headphones isolate and highlight your voice, while a noise-cancellation algorithm filters out ambient noise. All of this happens in real time, so you can trust you'll be heard clearly even in windy, noisy environments. With up to 24 hours per charge, the QuietComfort 45 headphones have an even longer battery life than their predecessors. This means you can enjoy hours of quiet and listen to your favourite music, even on long-haul flights. They can be charged in just 2.5 hours via USB-C. A 15-minute quick charge allows for up to 2.5 hours of playback time. With the included audio cable, you can enjoy your music even longer.

Overall ratingVery good82/100
Modern over-ear headphones are good sound all-rounders. The Technics EAH-A800 won the test thanks to their long battery life, great sound and a powerful app. The solid Space One from Soundcore deliver a lot of headphones for little money.

Very good80/100
- Light and comfortable
- Effective noise suppression
- Solid battery life
- No ANC setting
- Missing intelligent functions
- A lot of plastic
Although the QuietComfort 45 are good in many ways, especially in terms of comfort and noise cancellation, they lack many of the features we would expect from flagship headphones.
