Bose is renowned for its noise cancelling technology, which helps reduce the rumble from airplane engines as well as other sounds. Bose also makes a variety of premium wireless headphones.
The new Bose Sport Earbuds Truly Wireless are smaller and sleeker than the QuietComfort buds, and have a better microphone for calls. They're also sweat-proof and come with a charging case.
Active Noise Cancellation
Bose QuietComfort headphones are known for their superior noise cancellation. However Bose also produces various high-quality headphones that don't require or provide this feature. The products typically come at a premium price point and are made of premium materials but they're also lightweight, sweat-resistant and comfortable enough for long listening sessions.
The flagship 700s is a great example. They feature an upgraded eight-microphone (six for cancelling sounds, and two to pick a voice) and eleven custom ANC modes. You can hear the world around you or block the world completely. They're also equipped with a "Conversation Mode" button that allows you to temporarily stop your music to make a call or make a brief announcement.
Another fantastic feature is the Bose TruSleeve, a removable cover that wraps around the neck and rests on your upper ear to provide additional noise reduction when you're out and out and about. It's available for all QuietComfort models and can be adapted using the app to meet your ear and lifestyle.
When comparing the 700s to our top pick, the Sony WH1000XM5, they come with a much better microphone for phone calls. This makes them a good choice for those who take calls frequently and need to be heard clearly traveling.

All models are compatible with Bose Connect (older models). They provide a range of features that include audio settings including battery monitoring, adjustable controls, and listening modes.

The QuietComfort45 headphones are Bose’s best-sounding wireless over-ear headphones. They use Bluetooth 5.1 to offer multi-point pairing, and also a USB-C port for charging on the bottom of one cup. The headphones include a cable with a 3.5mm plug at the other end, which allows for wired listening. They also come with an ANC button located on the left earcup.

They also have an excellent microphone that allows hands-free calls and include an assistant for voice which does a good job of distancing your voice from background noise when you answer questions. Bose Connect apps and Bose Music let you adjust audio settings and adjust EQ. We've noticed that the Bose voice that tells you about things like battery status and whether you're connected somewhat robotic, in contrast to the more natural voices of the Sony and Jabra models.
Comfort
Comfort is among Bose's strengths, whether you're using an over - or on-ear headphone. Bose's headphones are typically well-padded and not too tight on your head.

The earcups pivot on the stems of plastic that extend from the headband which allows you to move them and ensures that they fit around your ears.
The Bose QC45s awed us by their noise cancellation and audio quality. The sound is clear and detailed, with a punchy bass, clear mids and crisp highs. The headphones have a neutral midrange response so voices are reproduced accurately. The only downside is that they do not support the most current Bluetooth codecs like aptX Adaptive or LDAC, which would enable playback without loss.

Controls
The 700s do not have physical controls on the earcups unlike most of Bose's headphones. There's an electronic touch panel on the right ear cup that can be used to swipe or tap your finger. Tap twice to play or pausing or pause, swipe up to increase the volume, and down to lower it, and then forward to skip tracks. A single tap can answer calls and a double tap rejects an incoming call.

Design
Bose headphones are known for their comfort and ability to isolate the listener from background noise. Their sound is balanced, and versatile enough to be utilized across genres. The headphones are portable and durable, making them a great option for traveling.
Bose headphones are famous for their noise cancellation. The NCH700s have 10 levels of noise cancellation, which is impressive even when you are at maximum. Six of the eight microphones are placed inside the headband to isolate voices from ambient sound. Two of the mics double as noise-rejection sensors to help reduce background hiss and echo during voice calls.
Unlike some of their competitors, Bose headphones tend to have a minimalist design with only a few buttons on the headband. The left-hand side has an adjustable noise-cancellation button and the right one has switches for power/Bluetooth as well as launching digital assistants. There's also a touch-sensitive panel on the right side of the cup which lets you play/pause music, skip tracks and adjust volume using simple gestures.
Bose headphones are perfect for use on the go. Most models that sit on or over the ear, feature plenty of padding to ensure a comfortable fit. They're also extremely lightweight and compact making them an excellent option for traveling. The only downside to the Bose headphone line is that they do not block out as much ambient sound as their rivals. This may not be an issue for everyone of us, particularly since Bose also makes dedicated active noise cancelling earbuds that are designed for exercise (like the QuietComfort Earbuds II Truly Wireless). This lets you keep track of your surroundings while listening to your favorite music.
