Outstanding ANC, USBC port, Comfortable over long periods of time, Wired and wireless playback
Sound quality, Lack of inapp EQ, SBC and AAC only, no aptX, Only way to turn off ANC is to turn on Aware mode; no true "off" listening mode
The Bose QuietComfort 45 has all the parts to be a great ANC headset, but it doesn't quite have the finish. Sound quality isn't all that great, even if the ANC is among the best in class...

Best-in-class comfort, Great active noise cancellation, Useful transparency mode, Improved battery life
They can't be used while charging, No way to turn off ANC without switching to aware mode, EQ can't be adjusted in Bose's app, Lack support for audio over USB-C

Best-in-class noise cancellation, Sculpted audio with rich bass and crisp highs, Exceptionally comfortable
No ANC or EQ adjustments, Sound signature isn't accurate for true audiophiles
Though the competition is stiffer than ever, the Bose QuietComfort 45 headphones continue to lead the industry with the best active noise cancellation you can buy...

bestinclass noise cancelling, super comfortable, 25hour battery life, good sound, Bluetooth can connect to two devices at once, fold up for travel, crossplatform companion app, can be used with a cable
expensive, voice mic lets in background noise, no higherquality audio format support, no equaliser, no variable noise cancelling levels
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...
Class-leading comfort, Highly effective noise cancellation, Aware mode works well
ANC can't be adjusted, No EQ options
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...
Light and comfortable, Effective noise cancelling, Solid battery life
No ANC adjustment, Lacking smart features, Plasticky build
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...

ANC still fantastic, Very durable design, Good all-round sound, Great battery life
Similarly priced alternatives offer more features for the money, Can't turn noise-cancelling off without activating Aware Mode
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...

Super sound quality with thumping bass,Always-on active noise-cancelling (ANC) - the noise reduction is stupendous,Foldable design and case included - ideal for travel
Forget to switch them off and the battery will drain - really needs an auto-off option,Bose 700 NC look and feel and sound better,Control button too close to volume up/down
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...
