“I bought these to replace the original silver QC35 from 2017 (or so). When I compare the QC45 and the QC35, the 45s are basically everything I liked about the 35s, but more. The sound is louder, but clear. Bass is slightly more, but still balanced. The updated Bluetooth version allows for further distance away from your computer or phone if you're walking around the home on a call and still maintain a stable connection. I'd highly recommend these.”

“My husband got these for me to wear because I spend approximately 5 hours per mowing sometimes twice a week in the summer and then another few hours weedeating as well. But all of the ear buds just hurt my ears. These babies are awesome! I got them at Christmas and went out on the mower in December (rallying in pine needles) just to try them out. It was wonderful having Christmas music to listen to the whole time. And just because I have them I have been walking up to 6 miles in the evening because it is so enjoyable to do with these! They have a mode so that you are more aware of noises around you (oncoming cars) or a quiet mode (riding the mower and using chainsaw and weedeater). I am actually looking forward to Spring to start mowing again! Yay!”

“I am delighted with the way Bose QC45 headphones feel and sound. My old Sony XB950N1 headphones ($379.00 retail price) are a pound heavier than Bose QC45. For instance, Bose QC45 is 8.5 ounces or 0.53lbs, but Sony XB950N1 is 24.64 ounces or a staggering 1.54lbs!

The sound of QC45 is imposing, and the four multifunction microphones work phenomenally together with the noise-canceling system so that I can't hear the noise of the landscape mower and leaf blower anymore when the maintenance crew works the yard. Oh, yeah. 

Words cannot describe the sound quality of Bose QC45, but I am sure you'll find it compelling in the video clip.”

“It is so odd how these start to make squeaking noises where the plastic parts rub together. It's like a creaking sound when you move your head at all. To be fair, I put these things through some tough ordeals; I wore them during ten mile runs. Overall I have been pretty satisfied with them. It is no nice to walk outside and the week wacker guy and the engine revving fool in the parking lot can't knock you out of your shoes since they act like ear protection. Wish there was a way to keep them on at night while sleeping, but that isn't their fault because they aren't designed for that.”

“OMG! NOW I understand why Bose headphone's have always been such a big deal! Holy cow, I'm seriously giving my AirPod Pros away! Wow, what a sound! And the noise cancelation is amazing!!! I thought they would hurt my head or be uncomfortable but they are so comfortable. I do highly suggest you NOT wear these out when walking on public roads because you literally can not hear a police car siren or anything! Honestly, I'm not a big music listener (just during dinner parties etc. But I listen to audio books constantly and the stupid AirPod Pros always had to be adjusted and then would run out of battery so fast and the sound isn't great and the noise cancelation isn't the best. I ordered a pair of these for my son for his birthday and he loved them so I put them on to try them out and was blown away and had to buy myself a pair :)”

“Firstly I use Bose sportsbuds for when I’m hiking or walking my dog. I love them.

These are a step up in sound quality. Also I use an IPhone with Apple Music.

I will therefore review and recommend based on that set up critique the some of the poorer reviews on Amazon.

Use the Bose music app with its EQ. Turn the Apple Music EQ off as 2 can conflict.

Set bass to 5-6. Set mid to 3-4. Set treble to 8-9. Perfect sound like a gig or a club. No drama no moans no childish tantrums about privacy…..the technology is there to help. Remember there’s a difference between smart and smart-ass.

Noise cancellation: I’m in my kitchen writing this review while my washing machine is on a 1100 spin ….. i can’t here it, therefore the technology works. Seemples

To anyone unhappy with these headphones I suggest you need to train your ears to how music is actually meant to sound. Hi hats snares keyboards bass and guitars all blend beautifully . If you want to listen to music on cheap radio sound settings, use a cheap radio with £20 headphones. Don’t buy £300 headphones designed to emulate a recording studio.

In short for the money and with adjustable EQ emulation these are damn near perfect for most people.

I thoroughly recommend this product, it is not defective in way . Wonderful wonderful sound comparable to a gig or a club.”

“Perfect headphones - do not get uncomfortable, controls are super easy to use, can switch noise cancelling on or off - 'quiet' and 'aware' modes - difference is insane and so useful, especially in situations where it might be dangerous to have noise cancelled e.g. walking on busy roads”

“I’ve been using these for a week now and I’m honestly shocked every time I put them on at how good they actually are! They connect to two devices at the same time (iPhone and Mac) and switch seamlessly between them, way better than any Apple Airpods.

The noise cancellation is the best I’ve ever used, the battery life great, aware mode is easy to use and makes me feel safer walking around the street with them on. I spent a lot of time researching different models and brands and I could not recommend these headphones enough!”

“I never liked so many songs before as now. Had to relisten many on the list and I'm surprised how clear and more powerful songs are. Some instruments playing are now clear in my ears - I never heard with usal headphones. Ears don't get tierd is good thing and noice cancellation is obviously a bonus - going to work with public transport in the morning is more pleasing. Aware - always use while walking. My life is way better now.”

“I got these for Christmas and really needed them for work. I’ve been trying to use them this past month and I’ve realize that I hate wearing them.The ear cups sit right on my earlobes. They press the sharp backs of my earrings into my neck, so that forces me to remove my stud earrings, which I don’t want to do. I want the cups to cover my entire ear, not press the lobes.

No matter how much I adjust the top of the headset to try to loosen them, these headphone cups squeeze my ears, jaw and the upper portion of my neck. (See pics)I can’t have my head/ears/neck squeezed for hours while I work! I wish I could get something else bc I really need NC headphones.

These headphones are also heavy. I must be used to the freedom and lightness of ear pods by now.When I tie my hair back, it’s not a problem, but if I hair is down and a bit messy, it gets caught in the headphones when I take them off. I would rate these Bose headsets 1 of 10. One point for being a nice black matte color.”

Most users have given favorable reviews on Bose quietcomfort 45 headphones, which shows that it is a good product. However, no headphone is perfect, and it still has some shortcomings, such as overpriced, too limited use scenarios, its heavy earmuffs can easily lead to unsuitable ears and head.

In terms of comfort, the overall frame of Wissonly Hi Runner is made of adjustable aviation-grade titanium steel, which can adapt to different sizes of head circumference and ensure the stability of wearing, so that it will not fall during exercise. The surface of its earphones is made of high-tech low-sensitivity silicone material, which does not contain chemical ingredients to avoid allergies. The overall touch of the earphones is as silky as a baby's skin, avoiding discomfort when worn for a long time. And its weight is very light, less than 30g, so it will not feel heavy when worn. As the flagship outdoor sports model of the Wissonly brand, it is the most comfortable and cost-effective model among all the current bone conduction models.

Wissonly Hi Runner uses the latest Bluetooth 5.0 chip, which makes the Bluetooth connection more stable. Its battery life is also very good, the normal volume can be played continuously for 8-10 hours, which is really good for people who like outdoor sports, even if they go out to climb the mountain all day, do not worry about the battery. It also supports magnetic fast charging, which takes only 2 hours to fully charge.

For underwater scenarios like swimming, the Hi Runner also has 32GB of built-in memory, because the Bluetooth connection can be unstable when moving underwater. With built-in storage, you can use the headset as an MP3 player and enjoy high-quality music underwater.

In terms of sound quality, this bone conduction headphone uses the latest research results of the wissonly laboratory, which increases the vibration area of the vibrator by 35%.  At the same time, it also optimizes the sound transmission direction to make the sound more concentrated and the music more spatial.  And it has a good performance in treble and bass.
