Bose QuietComfort Bluetooth Headphones, Wireless Headphones with Active Over Ear Noise Cancelling and Mic, Deep Bass, Up to 24 Hours of Playtime, Black

These are hands down the best headphones ever. Love the sound quality. They are comfortable and I love the color. I have purchased 6 of them as gifts and everyone tells me all the time how much they love them. Unlike other headphones, the mic is clear. Totally worth the money. It charges quickly and lasts forever on a full charge. When it lets you know that it’s on a low charge, it still lasts forever. It doesn’t drain. The pairing was very simple. The size is great and unlike other headphones that shall not be named…they don’t look big and clunky. The earphones are labled “L” and “R” on the inside of the earphones. Great buy!

I'm no music junkie so this review is for those who have normal "music quality" demands from their headphones.Pros:1. As far as I can tell, the quality of the music is fantastic.2. It sits so comfortably on my head. Mind you, I have a big head, most hats in the stores feel too tight on my head.3. App controls are pretty easy to learn.4. Sound cancellation works wonders, especially for lower pitched sounds like the A/C humming.Now for some cons:1. The physical buttons are too close together, and some of the button mapping is just bizarre. Instead of long pressing on the volume buttons to skip forward/back that I'm used to on my other headphones, this one wants you to double press the center button to skip forward, and triple press that same button to skip backward. Not very intuitive. The one button on the left earcup also has multiple functions in one, and by the second day of owning this headset I already forgot about most of them.2. The mic quality is subpar. I've been told that I sound "far away" when calling someone on this headset. But that's to be expected of most, if not all, Bluetooth headphones.3. There seems to be sound leak from the headset itself. I walked into a quiet room with the headphones playing music at a normal volume, not even blasting anything into my ears, and everyone just stared at me. When I took off my headphones I realized the sound has been leaking. Just something to keep in mind.

I’m a layperson, so let me first say I purchased these after much research but based on a “general audience’s” needs. What I mean by that, is my boyfriend mixes music, and while these are high quality this review isn’t for those types of people. This is for more layperson type of needs.1. I actually used chat gpt to compare and contrast numerous headphones based on my desires so if you’re needing help choosing that was very helpful to me.2. My needs were as follows: light, comfortable, noise cancelling, color, Bluetooth across devices, and ease of app use.3. I discovered that these headphones outdo their Sony competition specifically because they’re lighter and they don’t drop Bluetooth when you move to your computer from your phone for example. I found Sony has issues trying to switch back to your phone when on computer.Bluetooth is very important to me and a top need. I switch between devices enough for that to be a serious issue for me.4. I have a tiny head and am a 5’2 woman. I don’t have large proportions. For example my boyfriend is 6 foot with a large head and headphone weight won’t affect him the same way. For me headphones can literally be too heavy and fatiguing so my other main qualifier was that these are lighter than all but 1 of the top 7 brands out there.5. The cushion on these is shockingly luxurious and an added bonus.6. I get a mean case of sensitive ears, I always have. When I run my ears ache, in the cold my ears ache, if I am in a plane they ache. I am part of a certain population percentage (I’ve googled it’s around 30% but fact check me- this is for you though if you are like me) who have ear canals that actually can be very painful with the wrong pressure. For this reason I’m fairly picky about headphones which apply a significant amount of pressure. These headphones have not triggered this issue for me.7. I wanted good plane headphones and these will be great if I lean my head on the window area. The band doesn’t dig.8. They look really nice.9. The color options are cute10. The case is nice11. I heard for Sony there was popping on phone calls and it therefore became between these and Apple however apples are very very heavy. I ended up going with these for that reason. I have used them for numerous phone calls and haven’t had the issues, and people hear me easily and have had no issues hearing me. I did have popping once but I think it’s on the end of the person you’re on the phone with. My cousin was in his car shouting into his Bluetooth and I feel if he had been quieter it wouldn’t have happened. The popping has never occurred with music and is specific to a loud shout from someone on their own CarPlay so no biggie. Otherwise zero pop12. The noise cancelling is exceptional, I put them on and don’t play anything, but can no longer hear my AC at all. You understand generally the sound of constant AC. Like vrrrrrrrrr. It’s completely gone.13. Soothing without music to just make things less loud. Suitable for autistics who want a quieting incognito headphone that changes, also more comfy than alternative ear covers. (I am AuDHD.)14. Music can get really loud and nice lots of depth (layerperson opinion but my boyfriend said the sound quality is great and the next step up is just studio mixing headphones)15. If you wait for prime day or other sales they’re 150$ off usually (better than every other competitors prime or Black Friday deals)16. They seem durable and collapse in many ways so you can’t easily break them.17. The app has had no issues for me. Online there’s some app complaints and I have not run into them at all. The app seems to me very easy to navigate.
