      The comfort I would say, comparing them to all other headphones I ever had, they fit the best.

      I Have been a fan for years . The Build Quality, the comfort level . most of all the noise cancellation . In my opinion it's head and shoulders above the others I have tried . If I'm playing Hardcore Punk or 80s thrash then it's Grados, if I'm out and about is AirPods Pros . anything else the QC's . I love the new green ones , they are on the Wishlist .

    Just left my qc45's on an airplane and picked up a set of the quiet comforts before my next flight. I had no idea what the difference between the two was, which is what brought me here. First of all THANK YOU for the clarification! I have to say two things though...
    1. I notice a huge difference in the noise cancelling between the two. Not in amount or quality, but as in I no longer hear a slight whirring sound in the background while using these headphones. Such a relief! They were pretty bad on my qc35 II's, significantly better on the qc45's but still noticeable, and now with the qc's I seem to BARELY notice that whirring sound anymore.
    2. By far most importantly and noticeably, I no longer hear a static noise or experience breaking up with the new qc's. My qc35 II's never had any issues with this so when I upgraded to the qc45's I was extremely disappointed and frustrated. I exchanged 2 different sets through Bose directly and tried countless "reset's" and firmware updates, and nothing. I just lived with it as much as I hated it. I loved the usb c too much to go backwards. With the new qc's this is no longer a problem AT ALL! Worth every penny and I'm almost GLAD I lost my qc45's on the airplane.
    Hope these two points help others make a decision as to whether it's worth the upgrade or not. Thanks again for the helpful video! I would've been left scratching my head otherwise.

    @NorbertNagy00 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    Another great video from you Sir, always learning something new and very entertaining
    As someone who tried most of the over ear headphones you are absolutely right and let me add:
    Bose nc 700 feels really comfy and stable on the head , after setting eq max sounds warm, decent base,
    After trying the Quietcomfort was the chosen one and returned the 700
    Airpod max amazing sound,premium built but too expensive and feels weird on the head , quite heavy too
    Sony mx 4 and 5 very good anc, sound rich but Bose feels more comfy and less heat and found more details in songs
    B&w px7s2 sounds rich but not as comfy and ANC could be a bit better
    Momentum 4 unbeatable battery, very detailed open sound stage a bit too bulky for people with smaller heads and feels a bit too loose
    Beats Studio pro very uncomfortable, rich sound, cool design and unique colours
    My recommendation try them as they are all different and can be suitable for various reasons and individual preferences
    Listening country type of music with many instruments, active base and rich vocals can give you a good idea how they perform
    For example Wilder Path by Josh Gaulton
    Hope it helps
    All the best

    perfect review man. you basically answered all the important questions between these two headphones. i got cyprus green and looks solid sound is great. anc great. comfort great. only issue is obviously it doesn't have the higher fidelity codecs but that will only matter for some. got them on sale for $250 so for that I think it's definitely worth it.

    I recently came across a pair of Q45 & these are the only over the ear headphones in my collection.
    They are outstanding. I’m sure others are better. After doing a bit of research I learned the 45’s are now two years old.
    I will use these for flights & maybe at home but since I dislike ANC these won’t be my #1 choice

  • @JConner1864

    I really did think I was somehow missing something in regards to the complaints about the inability to turn off ANC and then there you were voicing my exact thoughts and now I feel a little better because it's not just me......sincere thanks. I absolutely love these headphones......there's always going to be better out there as with anything but these nail the fundamentals brilliantly, look fantastic & sound excellent.....ANC is top notch & that makes the sound even better. Thanks for a great review & video, stay safe & enjoy your day......

    The ANC creates a pressure ear feeling and I find it more comfortable to turn it off when not needed. So returning the QC 45 for that reason.

  • @bjarnesverdson1069
    @bjarnesverdson1069 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I have used the QC35II for 5-6 years now. And they finally broke on me. I am looking for a replacement. But what makes me hesistent on the newer models like QC45 the ultra and the quiet comfort. Is the inability to switch through noise canceling high low and completely of. Directly without the app.
    I have 3 questions.
    1. How would this work if I am using it on a computer? Would I have to pair it to my phone, change the setting then back to the computer?
    2. How much of an improvement is the sound compared to the 35?
    3. Which of the bose series would you recommend?

  • @MikkoRantalainen
    @MikkoRantalainen 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

    Looking at the Rtings lab measurements, it seems that the Bose QuietComfort Headphones Wireless (the new model) has actually less accurate audio reproduction than QC45. The new models has pretty heavy bass boost so if you're looking for lots of bass and don't mind the accuracy of the headphones, the new model is better but if you're looking for as accurate audio reproduction as possible, go with the QC45.
    The ANC also has a lot more constant performance on QC45 whereas new model is good for some type of background noise and worse for a bit different background noise. The background noise reduction for the mic is also a lot better in the new model as mentioned in this video, too (the mic in cable helps).

    • @ultimobile
      @ultimobile 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      wow - you contrarian ... ;-) interesting - yes as a quiet acoustic musician I have noticed many folks assume more bass means better sound - sure for dancing and shaking your booty, but is also a road to early hearing loss - an old friend is now wearing a hearing aid while I've always sought to protect my hearing ... I noticed the 700 sounded more bassy to me in a shop but that was with their sample soundloop to impress so I don't know about otherwise.

      My QC25 failed today after years of heavy use (this far I have only needed to replace earpads as they wore out) - from the erratic behavior it appears that the wiring from left earcup to right earcup has fractured😥
      I'd love to have similar headphones (love the ability to swap battery instead of waiting for the charger, I'm using 8 NiMH LSD cells with it so I only need to charge the cells a once or twice per month and simply swap a cell whenever I lose ANC).
      Sadly, nothing similar is available on the market. Considering the amount of hours I've done with QC25, none of the integrated batteries are going to last this long.

    I have bought these, but now I experience vibration to the headphones whenever I walk in boots, heels, when I go for a run, but also in normal shoes when I walk down the stairs. Before I had no ANC headphones but also over ear (JBL 500BT), but have never experienced these kind of vibration sounds. I feel like the QC's are very sensitive maybe? Or is it caused by the ANC mode, I tried the AWARE mode but it didn't make a difference. Do you have any advice, should I return them and is this with every over ear (ANC) headphones ?

    The regular QuietComfort is now cheaper and I want to buy it, but according to The Headphone Show, they have a "channel imbalance" (apparently the right ear can sound different than the left ear). Have you noticed this at all?

      It’s more refined, and the Ultra has Spatial Audio, which these don’t. ANC, there’s really not much in it, but the Ultras are slightly better.

Since I paid almost half the price for the Quietcomfort than the Ultra, I kept the Quietcomfort. Also, the Ultra pair I had were cracking/squeaking when manipulating them, and the headband was also see squeaking when extended.

    Me coming from qc35 ii to qc45 I felt like a downgrade because no option to turn off anc in 45s and when you take it outside in windy situation its unbearable to use as the microphones can't cancel the wind properly which was a headache but the sound quality after adjusting the eq a bit increasing bass and reducing the high felt good. Now I am getting the new QC just so that i can reduce the NC to the lowest when going out, If you are planning to use it only indoors or in closed environments still QC45 is great as it can be found cheaper in sale for around 250€.

    I have both, the new QC sound much better, I agree with all your points. However, they definitely don’t have the same ear pads. The new ones are much less comfortable because the foam is too soft and the material is too hard, maybe it’s a cost saving, maybe it isn’t. The fit and buttons are still really good.

      SONY I've tried had earcups too shallow for my big ears which would rub and become excruciating on a long flight - Bose has deep-angled earcups so that's much better for me. SONY felt tight like making my ears sweat more than Bose. I've used Bose happily for 10 years - Bose is generally regarded as the most comfortable to wear for long periods (e.g. my recent 10-hour flight - no problems) so I'm happy to stay with Bose.
