Bose earns strong reviews for delivering durable, comfortable headphones, earbuds, and speakers with rich, detailed sound and class-leading noise cancellation for travel and daily use; many long-term owners praise exceptional battery life and replaceable pads. However, reports cite inconsistent Bluetooth connectivity, declining ANC leadership versus competitors, occasional headband discomfort on the NC700, and peeling ear pads over time.

I have owned the Bose Quiet Comfort Ultra headphones for several years and love how they have held up over time. They have amazing noise canceling and sound quality while also offering an unbeatable battery life.

These are the first noise canceling headphones I have used and I do like them. They are comfortable to wear and connect via Bluetooth. They have a long battery life and have the option to turn off, low or high for the noise cancelation. I have had them for over a year and had to replace the pads one time, but it was fairly easy. I had to replace them because they were peeling off and getting all over.

The quiet comfort has been my go-to headphones for about six years so far. I enjoy it while going for walks, grocery shopping, or traveling. The headphones themselves are comfortable but can be a pain when trying to sleep in them or wearing for an extended period of time. I like the crisp sound though for these headphones and is great for podcasts.

love Bose sound quality and the interchangeable ear tips and wings - the only earbud that will actually stay in my ear (airpods always fell out, especially at the gym). great battery life and love that you can use one at a time. occasionally connectivity issues, but great overall.

I have really enjoyed my new Bose quiet comfort headphones but my favorite by far are the open ultra earbuds. While my headphones get uncomfortable after hours of listening, you can sacrifice the noise cancellation for the open earbuds and it doesn’t even feel like anything is on your ears! I love them for watching shows in bed on my side and for runs. This duo is pretty unbeatable for every possible need.

I have the Bose QuietComfort 35 Noise Cancelling Wireless Headphones II, which are not my first pair of Bose over the ear headphones. My ears are super sensitive to headphones, and these are comfortable and sound great. I also have a SoundLink portable speaker, which is a pretty lime green color and is very convenient.

I find Bose headphones to have the best noise canceling which is very important to me as a frequent flyer. I never fly without my Bose headphones. I also find them very comfortable for longer flights!

I’ve had these headphones for a few years now and I really like them. They don’t actually go in the ears so you can hear your surroundings. The sound quality is great. They are very comfortable. Sometimes I forget they are in my ears. Great for workouts and sweat! The biggest issue is that sometimes your surroundings are too loud and it’s hard to hear, but these are great! Highly recommend!

Bose makes the most comfortable over the ear headphones. The sound quality is amazing and the features are easy to learn. The noise cancelling makes these the best travel companion too. I use them for work and travel, and have used them for studying in the past too.

The sound quality for this sound bar is fantastic. I appreciate the ability to prioritize speakers when I am watching my favorite shows late at night. The bass setting are surprisingly powerful. The only negative for this product is that it has constant connection issues. It is properly set up but constantly disconnects from the television.

Incredible sound quality, very good noise canceling, and I like all of the spacial features. but I would like all of the features to be on the device and not on an app. Additionally, the feature that pauses music when you bend over wearing them is strange and makes it somewhat difficult to workout in them.

I've owned Bose noise cancelling headphones forever. Starting with the QC15, QC35 and most recently the NC 700s. They've all been comfortable, have great noise cancellation and fantastic battery life. They're my comfy, amazing sounding work happy place. I get the majority of my deep focus work done when wearing my Bose headphones. I have noticed more recently that Bose products don't seem to be improving noise cancellation at the same pace they used to - the competition has definitely caught up now. I also have a pair of Bose Sleepbuds 2. It's an innovate product and comfortably blocks out nighttime noise and last all night... We used to have a nightmare neighbour that would party until 8am every weekend 🥲

Bose need to invest more in firmware and software development. This is what's letting their products down right now. My Bose NC 700s have had firmware issues since new - if multiple devices are connected to them the audio intermittently stutters and breaks up. This is simply not okay for such a high end pair of headphones. Bose Sleepbuds 2 have so much potential, but again I think Bose needs to keep up development of the app and firmware for them to be truly great. The other annoying thing about Sleepbuds is that the case loses charge over a period of around a week when it's not in use, surely Bose can figure out a way to cut down on power usage when they're not being used?

Have been using bose headphones for over five years and continue to love them. The sound quality is so great and the price point is very justifiable, especially compared to some other brands out there. Looks great too.

I love love love my bose headphones. I purchased the Quiet Comfort II headphones about a year ago and have hardly gone a day without using them for hours at a time. They are comfortable (as the name suggests) and they met my expectations for sound quality. I also really like that the noise cancellation feature is a adjustable. My ONLY complaint is that the headphones don’t connect to Siri. I have to be near my phone for her to hear me and then she comes through my headphones after a delay. That part is weird, but it’s not annoying enough to make me stop using them faithfully!

I've had my Bose 700 noise-cancelling headphones for many years now. the battery lasts a very long time, noise cancellation works really well. I like that the headphones come with a case and a cable to use with 35mm ports. I was hesitant when buying these headphones because they're pricey but looking back 6 years later, I'm happy with my purchase.

The Bose QC-35 IIs are standing strong seven years later. I almost wish they would break so I have an excuse to purchase a new pair! They still have the best ANC on the market. Noise cancellation is the most important for me, so I can't speak to the audio quality. The microphone quality is decent, about what you can expect for ANC over-ear headphones. I've only had to replace the ear cups once, but even so they were only a few dollars and saved me from having to purchase a new headset. Love these!

Finally caved and got the QC45. BEST COLLEGE PURCHASE EVERR! Very intuitive to switch between modes, Quiet and Aware. The Noise cancelling is so good when grinding out work in the library. Battery life lasts several days, make sure to switch it off when not in use. And, doubles as earmuffs when I wear them outside in the cold.

I have several Bose products. Some I’ve had well over 10 years that still work great and sound amazing. I’m consistently impressed with their product lines. One of the few brands still out there that you know you are going to get your moneys worth every time.

I have the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds and they are wonderful. The range that they pick up is phenomenal, as well as the sound quality. They are noise cancelling and you can adjust the settings of the headphones by tapping the bud itself, which comes in very handy.

I am not able to only use one Ear Bud if the other one is inside the case. I have to take both out of the case in order to use one, if need be.

I purchased the Bose Quietcomfort 35 in 2017 and I have loved them ever since. They have a great sound quality and block out nose really well. I found that they hold up over the years with no compromise to the audio. Highly recommend the investment as they are expensive! They are great for work or travel.
