My Favorite Headphones Ever, Bose QuietComfort (2023)

[ryanrxi]

i bought the quietcomforts today & im obsessed with them, perfect for me

Bro, the Bose you showed on Ebay for $98 is from a seller with a feedback score of 2. That is a red flag.

I went from the 35II's which lasted me several years, to the 45's last year. They got driven over by a bus. (They still turned on, plus one earcup still worked after all that.) In search for a quick upgrade I went to the NC700's, which were my favourite ones so far. Since then I've contacted Bose and they offered me a free upgrade from my destroyed 45's to the QuietComforts. I'm excited to see how they hold up!

I upgraded from my 45s because that dark green is just dope.

I’ve tried these new Quietcomforts, QC 45, ultra and I have 35 ii. I agree the new quietcomforts and the ultras and very similar with anc and audio quality. But these quietcomforts are way better in audio quality compared to the 35 ii. The bass is significantly better and it’s not even close. The mids and highs are also clearer with more oomph. Also the quietcomforts have noticeably better sound quality especially bass than the qc 45. I’m keeping these new quietcomforts. I also love the simple design and the comfort. I hated the touch controls of the ultras and were less comfortable for sure

This review was the last one I watched before I purchased the Bose QC for $250. Have to say, I'm an hour in and they are my favorite over-the-ear-headphones I've ever used. Thanks for your thorough review!

I am listening to this on QC 15s! I bought them like 15 years ago, replaced the ear cups a few times, and the still do a job. I have had a different experience with the Bose buds, which I have seemed to go through about 1 year including replacements. I don't know why the buds seem so poor compared to the overhead earphones.

I am tempted to buy the Quiet comfort Headphones Wireless just for the mic's handling of external noise, as I want to take audio notes.

I cannot fault my QC35II. Love them, been through hell and 3 sets of pads. I wear them everyday. Would buy again.

[jocelyn-n-tech]

Yes!!! I couldn't agree more. I bought the QC35s years and years ago, and I'm listening to this video right now, still using them. Have tried a ton of other wireless noise-canceling headphones and still end up coming back to these every time. Have Apple Pro Max headphones right next to me, and I still reach for these over those. They are tough, too, because I don't baby them at all and throw them around. I've replaced the ear cups several different times; other than that, I haven't had to touch them. Highly recommend.

Just picked up a pair of these for £170 / $200 on Amazon prime day deals 😅

[papadougpapadougsadventures]

Just picked up both the Ultra’s. I had the QC35 and the QC buds. I think both are fantastic. After changing/exploring the various earbuds and ring sizes on the earbuds I feel these are the best I’ve ever had. I have the Airpod Pro 2 USB-C and I like the Ultra Buds A LOT better. I’ll be using the Ultra over ear headset on plane travel

I've been using the Bose NC700 for about a year. I use them every day and they are great.

I'm upgrading from a pair of Sony MDR-ZX770BN to the Bose Quietcomfort (just under $200 on Amazon). I've been torn between this and the Sony XM4s (also just under $200 right now). It's the comfort that tipped me as the Sony has more features, but now that I'm not wearing my contacts as much and use glasses everyday, the comfort of Bose won out (my current Sonys start to get a tad uncomfortable after a 30+ minutes). They haven't arrived yet, so we'll see, but your review encourages me I hopefully made the right choice.

I REALLY LIKE THE SOUND SIGNATURE OF BOSE, THE SEPARATION OF INSTRUMENTS AND CLARITY OF IT IS AMAZING

[JConner]

Awesome video & really enjoyed your comparisons with the earlier Bose I've been primarily using buds the last 3 - 4 years and I broke down the other day when I saw these listed for 249.00 on Amazon and I quickly ordered a was that a brilliant decision, they rock in just the way you describe. Sincere thanks & have a great

[fffeuchtner]

I have been using the QC35 for years now and they still hold up. Great product. As mentioned in the video I like that they lack all those smart features that annoy me on other headphones.

[joshymcdaniel]

Good for thought!
As someone who’s owned 25 35ii 45 and qc 2023 if you buy a special edition color buy extra set of wet pads NOW! once they sell out good luck you’ll never find matching color for ear cups.

Also if u have to send them in for replacement with bose and u have limited edition sadly you won’t get that same color. I had the triple midnight blue qc35 ii when they quit working sent for replacement and Bose said all we have is black. Your color was a limited edition

[tylerdrickenbach]

I have the green Bose headphones and they are the best pair I've ever owned.

Just bought my Bose at Costco ! Super excited about it

[Accountabilio]

I just ordered mine in black. I’ve been debating for a week now whether I should go for these or the Ultras. However, today at the electronics store, I suddenly saw that they had the Ultras on display. I tried them on, and they didn’t feel right for me. Yes, there is a slightly noticeable improvement in sound (mainly in the bass, I would say), and maybe 5% better noise cancellation, but for me, that doesn’t justify the price increase. Additionally, they felt a bit cheap in terms of quality for that price. Maybe that’s just me, but I believe I made the right call going with the QuietComforts.
