I am hearing impaired and wear Phonak hearing aids. PROBLEM: the hearing aids allow ambient noise in, so when I am bluetoothing music or an audio book to my hearing aids, even when at full volume, in public or in noisy situations, I simply cannot hear the content. I decided to try these BOSE headphones, and they are superb. Now, when I'm trying to hear a podcast, audiobook or good music, I can enjoy it whether I'm out walking or at my (very noisy) gym. These are especially appreciated on days I want the world to go away, lol! They are worth every penny invested!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Please add an EQ in this headphones. Lack of bass is killing me. At this price range, stop and automatic play should be basic function. Please add on the next software update. Besides that great headphones, super light, small case, easy to travel with. I have owe Sony XM4, iPhone AirPods Max and I will say because of the size this will be my travail companion. I hope the next software update will make these headphones rock.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought the new BOSE QC45's for my 18th B'day and I am in love with them! From the crystal clear phone call's, High Fidelity audio, world-class noice cancellation, all the way to how the feel and perform is absolutely AMAZING!! Sadly I can't rate it any higher than 5-stars. If I could I would rate these new headphones 1'000'000'000'000 stars!

I was on the fence when these came out, because I've been using my QC35 I (not II) since 2016, every single day. And the every QC around ear headphone before that. I still have my QC2s and it works :D I connect my QC45s to my Phone, iPad, TVs and it just works. The switching using the Bose Music app is really good. The Bluetooth range is phenomenal and way better than the QC35I. The noise cancellation is so much better. I prefer the buttons to touch controls because that way I can lay my head down and not worry about the touch controls misfiring or not firing in the cold outside. The only thing i noticed is that the during phone calls my voice sounds more muffled compared to the QC35s. Not a deal beaker but I do have to talk louder which is not something you want to do in a public space. I hope Bose can test and address that via a firmware update.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have almost all of the BOSE Headphones that are available, and these QC 45's have already become my favorite. They are very comfortable, have excellent battery life, and have good connectivity with all my products.

Great headphones for watching TV and not bothering anyone else with louder volume.

Comfortable and great sound

Excellent noice-cancelling headset.

I used these noise canceling earphones on my last flight to Miami. They are a game changer when it comes to having a comfortable flight.

Excellent, I love it, well under value, couldn't let it slip this time; thanks Bose, go such a high quality product. 👍
