The Bose QuietComfort 45 are a strong successor to the company’s 2019 flagship model, the Bose QuietComfort 35 II, and yet don’t quite have the refinement of last year’s Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700. The QC45 are missing a few features like adjustable noise reduction and their audio performance isn’t audiophile-quality. They’re comfortable for long periods of time, however, and are easy enough for anyone to use, which is enough to get them a tepid recommendation.

Bose’s QuietComfort 45 headphones closely resemble the previous QC35 series, but they have improved active noise cancellation, longer battery life, USB-C, and a new transparency mode. They’re still incredibly comfortable to wear for extended periods.

Bose’s latest effort in the QuietComfort series offers excellent noise cancellation, good audio, and an updated design. In that respect, they’re as good as they’ve ever been. However, if you’re in need of smarts and customisable features then the QC 45’s offering is bare at the moment.
