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.

  • My Bose speaker delivers amazing sound—crisp highs, deep bass, and clear vocals in a compact, stylish design. It’s super easy to use, pairs instantly, and holds a strong Bluetooth connection. The battery life is impressive, and it’s perfect for everything from quiet background music to filling a room at a party. The build quality feels premium, and it’s held up great over time. Music sounds better on this.

  • i had the nc700's and although they look much cuter and sleeker than the sony's, their noise cancelling just can't compare. i have a partner who loves to play video games and my eardrums don't stand a chance. these are great for airplanes/casual workplaces, but the noise cancelling leaves more to be desired.

  • I have the Bose QC45 and their Bose Color SoundLink. The Bose Color SoundLink is the only speaker I have ever needed. I have had mine for well over six years and it is still kicking, still giving high quality and loud sound. I can't believe I never owned over the ear headphones before my QC45. They are so much more comfortable and block out so much noise, great for when I'm studying, in virtual meetings, or listening to an audiobook. Only thing is sometimes it makes me feel like I have to pop my ears. That's literally the only complaint though,

  • This review is, unfortunately, for headphones that have since been discontinued, but I can't help it, I'm in love. The sound is great, the noise reduction is amazing and they're oh-so-comfy.

  • Firstly, their customer service is top tier! They answer the phone quickly, and know their products. That said I love the soundbar-subwoofer-surround speakers, and their noise cancelling headphones. They are a quality brand, that delivers on their promises.

  • I had a pair of Bose Noise Cancelling 700 headphones for years, they were incredible; even without music, just turned on, you couldn't hear anything around you. Barely even your own voice. They did lose their noise cancelling ability with age, which is to be expected, and after about 3 years they were no longer meeting my needs, so I had to replace them.

  • If you want high quality noise earbuds or headphones BUY BOSE. Don't go buy those trendy headphones, stick with a brand that specializes in sound quality. I am currently using the Bose Noise Canceling Headphones 700. I think the sound, comfort, and noise cancelation is top notch. I even bought the Sony wh-1000xm4's to compare. They sound and functional almost identical, but overall, Bose won for me. This isn't me knocking Sony - they have great products - but Bose was just a tiny bit better in my own opinion. I also have the Bose Soundsport Pulse Wireless. I have used those earbuds to death, they are hanging on by a thread, are embarrassing to wear on my commute, but still sound GREAT.

  • I’ve had my micro soundlink for YEARS its the perfect thing to pop into a purse, bring into the shower, strap onto a bike handlebars. Compact and perfect for travel without compromising sound quality / volume.

  • Amazing sound quality exactly what I expected from the namebrand like this not the most affordable, but you get what you pay for. I’m looking forward to the new product products that this company comes out with.

  • I love Bose - I have the speaker and use it on the go on all the time. It's loud enough and perfect when doing errands around the house.

  • The most client comfort to headphones are the best earbuds I have ever owned! I love the noise canceling ability is and they are a lifesaver on flights and other noisy things such as mowing the lawn. The comfort in fit of the earbuds is wonderful because sometimes I have a hard time find it earbud that fits properly.

  • I carry these speakers with me wherever I go. Some common times I use these are at the beach with my friends hanging out and playing beach volleyball is such a great time with these speakers. Highly recommend

  • I have the bose quietcomfort headphones and they are my go to for traveling. The white noise option is amazing especially when flying. With just a click of a switch I can tune out all other noise and just vibe to my music.

  • I've been a longtime user of Bose products. Yes, they're expensive but they often come on sale and they last a long time. Their over ear headphones are great for the daily train ride, blocking out almost all background noise and creating a relaxing trip. Work well also for calls. I was able to score a set direct from Bose through their refurbished programme and they seemed identical to brand new.

  • Super brand !! I tried their headphones and their speakers and they are just amazing!! Maybe it’s a bit too expensive…

  • Have a Bose 700 System and Bose 900 system with surround sound and both with subwoofers. A few months ago, due to the systems disconnecting from home automation and connection problems with the SMART TVs, we contacted Bose Customer Support who worked us through a process of reconnecting them and they've remained connected without any sound issues.

  • We have had the speakers for almost 8 years now and we love it. My dad brought as a gift and we made sure to keep it safe
