Its products typically occupy an expensive price and use premium materials, however, they're also light and sweat-proof. They're also comfortable enough for long listening sessions.

The 700s flagship model is a wonderful example. They have an upgraded eight-microphone (six to cancel out sounds, and two for picking a voice) and eleven custom ANC modes. You can listen to the world around you, or block it completely. They also have a "Conversation Mode", which allows you to temporarily pause the music to announce an event or make a phone call.

Another excellent feature is the Bose TruSleeve, a removable covering that wraps around the neck and rests on your upper ear to provide additional noise reduction while you're out and about. It's available for all QuietComfort models and can be adjusted using the app to meet your ears and lifestyle.

However, the brand also has earbuds and headphones that are of good quality, too. All models are compatible with Bose Connect (older models). They offer a variety of features that include audio settings and battery monitoring, as well as customizable controls and listening modes. They're also platform-neutral and are compatible with Apple, Android and Windows devices.

The QuietComfort 45 headphones from Bose are the most immersive wireless over-ear headphone. They utilize Bluetooth 5.1 to provide multi-point pairing and an USB-C port to charge on the bottom of one cup.

The headphones are light and designed to be worn for long periods. They come with soft cushions which are comfortable on the ears. The sound is vibrant and bright, with well-controlled bass response. The treble might not be as crisp as top-rated rivals like the Sony WH1000XM4 or Jabra Elite85H, but it's still sufficient to satisfy the majority of music genres.

They also have a fantastic microphone for hands-free calling and include an assistant for voice that does a great job of separating your voice from background noise when you answer questions. The Bose Connect and Bose Music apps allow you to adjust the audio settings as well as alter the EQ. The Bose voice, which tells you about things like battery status and if you're connected, sounds somewhat robotic, in comparison to the more natural voices on the Sony and Jabra models.

Comfort

The Bose headphones are generally exquisitely padded without being tight on the head, and they come with a an incredibly balanced sound quality that allows them to be used with any genre. If you want to tweak the sound, you'll find that many of the Bose headphones come with an app with an EQ graph that helps you fine-tune your music.

The Bose QuietComfort 45 wireless over-ear headphones are one of the most comfortable headphones we've ever tested, with a comfortable and soft headband as well as plush earpads. They are light and sweat-proof, making them comfortable to wear for long periods of time. The earcups rotate on the stems of plastic that extend from the headband, which allows you to move them and ensures that they seal around your ears.

In our tests, the Bose Qc45s have a remarkable noise cancellation, and excellent audio quality. The sound is clear and detailed, with a punchy bass, clear mids, and crisp highs. The headphones also have a very neutral midrange response, which means that voices reproduce well. The only downside to these headphones is that they don't support the latest Bluetooth codes, such as aptX Adaptive and LDAC, which allow playback that is lossless.

The Bose Sport Earbuds are smaller and sleeker than the company's flagship QuietComfort Earbuds, making them ideal for running and working out. The earbuds have a battery life of up to five hours, which is sufficient for the majority of exercises. The buds feature an inbuilt microphone and are waterproof. You can control the buds using the remote included or the companion app. The app allows you to alter the settings for ANC and Bose's Aware Mode.

There's an electronic touch panel on the right earcup, which can be used to swipe and tap your finger. Tap twice to play or pause, swipe up to raise the volume, down to lower it, and forward to skip tracks. A single-tap answers calls, and a double tap rejects an any call that comes in.

The headset also allows users to switch on a mode called "aware," which enables some sort of a view of your surroundings. This feature is useful for those who must be aware of the environment while listening music or making calls.

Another feature on the 700s is a motion detector that shuts off your headphones after a time of inactivity.

Design

Bose is known for its comfortable headphones. The majority of their models do an excellent job at keeping the listener's ears safe from ambient noise. Their sound is generally balanced and able to function across genres without much tweaking. They are also extremely lightweight and sturdy. This makes them a great choice to take on trips.

One of the main factors that makes Bose headphones so well-known is their noise cancellation. The NCH700s come with 10 levels of noise cancellation which is impressive even at the highest level. Six of the eight microphones are placed inside the headband to separate voices from background noise. Two of the microphones serve as noise-rejection sensors to block background noise and echo during calls.

Contrary to some of their rivals, Bose headphones bluetooth tend to have a minimalist design, with just a few buttons on the headband. The left cup has an adjustable noise-cancelling button and the right one has toggles to power/Bluetooth or launch digital assistants. On the right cup, there's a capacitive touchscreen that allows you to play/pause music, change tracks, and adjust volume with simple gestures.

Bose headphones are perfect for mobile use. The majority of models that sit on or over the ear, feature plenty of padding that ensures a comfortable fit. They're also extremely portable and lightweight making them an excellent option for traveling. The only drawback to the Bose headphones is that their wireless headphones don't block out as much ambient noise as their competitors. This isn't an issue for everyone users, especially as Bose also offers dedicated active noise cancelling earbuds designed for exercise (like the QuietComfort Earbuds II Truly Wireless). This lets you keep track of your surroundings and still enjoy your music.
