Bose QuietComfort 45 Bluetooth Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones, Midnight Blue - Limited Edition

A little background: I bought the QC 45 to replace/upgrade my 11yr old QC 1.5. I would typically use them about 50hrs a year while business flying. Ive replaced the ear pads twice during that time. I used them almost exclusively for cutting airplane cabin noise, I would often listen to music & other entertainment but I didnt buy them for sound quality. The QC1.5 of course does not have Bluetooth: it must be plugged in to use as headphones.

I tried 2 other top name headsets. No competition to BOSE

I travel overseas extensively, and Ive been using Bose noise-cancelling headphones for many years. Ive given them as gifts to family members several times. Ive had the new QC45 headphones for about one year. Both this and my prior QuietComfort bluetooth noise-cancelling headphones came with a hard case and a headphone cable. The case is excellent for travel because it keeps them flat, protected, and clean. Bluetooth connectivity has always been rock-solid, which reviewers often ignore -- there are a lot of Bluetooth products that work great 70/80/90% of the time, and thats very frustrating! The Bose always connect reliably to my iPhone and MacBook, and it will connect to BOTH my iPhone and MacBook at the same time.

Got these as a black Friday deal as a Christmas present for my son. He loves them!

I ordered these to muffle construction noise (power tampers, excavators etc) working on a site directly in front of my home (often within 20ft or closer). The headphones served to muffle the noise reasonably well and work OK with music or conversation from my tablet or phone. So it serves the purpose. But keep your expectations reasonable for external noise cancellation - its more like external noise reduction to a tolerable level. Credit to the organization responsible for the construction - they offered a significant rebate on the purchase of NC headphones (our choice) to households in close proximity to the site.

Acheté non pas pour ses qualités sonores car il y a mieux maintenant (il reste très très bon pourtant) mais surtout pour le confort quil apporte.

Highly recommended.

Good

Great for silence. But what I find really great is that the phone call quality is fantastic.

la calidad del sonido es muy buena, son muy rápidos para conectarse, una vez que lo conectes por primera vez a un dispositivo las próximas veces se conecta solo y de manera muy rápida.
