The Bose QuietComfort 45 offer some of the very best noise cancelling and comfort money can buy. If you need a set of headphones to wear for hours on end, such as on long-haul flights or endless commutes, there aren't many better options.They're light, fo...

I have to admit that I'm a bit disappointed with the Bose QuietComfort 45. Not because they're bad headphones, they're most certainly not, but because I'd hoped for so much more.They continue their predecessor's legacy of delivering best-in-class comfort...

If you want a lightweight, extremely comfortable pair of over-ear headphones with active noise cancelling and decent sound quality then the Bose QC45 certainly fit the bit.Bose has made some odd decisions here though and I'm talking mainly about the lack...

Bose's QC45s are destined to be a big seller for all of the same reasons as their predecessors. They're extremely comfortable, incredibly easy to use and if they're not the very best noise-cancellers on the market then there isn't a lot in it. Throw in gr...

If you're looking for top-drawer noise-cancelling headphones that have a folding design and do away with touch-based controls for physical buttons then the Bose QuietComfort 45 most certainly sit at the top of the stack.That said, the advances in the QC45...
Sparsely featured comparatively, Beaten for dynamics and timing, No aptX Bluetooth,
If you want a set of wireless over-ear headphones you can put on, deploy noise-cancelling on your commute or at your desk and largely extinguish the outside world for up to 24 hours, the Bose QC 45 has the edge over most of the competition at the price. A...
Impressive noise-cancelling, 24 hours of battery life, Sound you can listen to for hours, Lightweight and comfortable,
Can't turn off noise-cancelling entirely, No manual EQ settings,
Keeping things simple and comfortable, the Bose QuietComfort 45 are excellent noise-cancelling headphones that will keep you fully immersed in your favourite songs. There aren't loads of extra features to speak of and the sound won't blow your mind but th...
Abstract: When Bose released its $379 Noise Cancelling Headphones 700 (NC 700), many wondered if the company had abandoned its tried-and-true QuietComfort 35 II (QC 35 II) design, which, until the release of the NC 700, had been its flagship active noise canceling...

The Bose QuietComfort 45 is proving to be a serious upgrade to the company's 2019 flagship model, the Bose QuietComfort 35 II. The QC45 is missing a few features like an EQ and their audio performance isn't audiophile-quality, but thus far they're looking...
