    So these are the Bose QC45’s… now I’ll be honest I thought we were never going to get these headphones cause after the Bose NC 700’s came out I thought Bose was going to go in a new direction with their headphones. But I guess the QC35’s proved to be such a cult classic that bose ended up caving in. Now overall the QC45’s are good and they definitely deliver… but these headphones are rather peculiar, and I feel that bose is holding the QC45’s back a little bit.

    This is the most comprehensive review in my opinion. You've covered more details than any other reviews currently out there (ie. Clamping force, cabin pressure, change in earpads, noise simulation testing). It's also very much unbiased. This is the review I would recommend to others. Thank you for the great work.

    Thank you for the in-depth overview that kept me from having to search through shallow content for 2-3 hours to find all of the same info. I have an absurd 5000+ hours of use on my QC35, and I’m disappointed that the QC45 could not be an outright upgrade. The fit (shallow ear cups!) of the 700 is a fatal flaw that holds it back from being the lightest, most comfortable and practical utility headphone for concentration and phone calls.

They could have made two awesome headphones, but instead choosing to promote their already released NC 700 to "force" people to buy them instead. I think the only reason they released the QC45 was the high pressure of not continuing the QC series when QC fans really wanted them.

    a good point you left out was the qc35 ii low level anc. I don't think anyone explored it much and just skipped to complete on or complete off. but it's not meant to be used as a low anc but is just better tuned for quieter environments. and as a result I found that the low anc on the qc 35 would completely silence wind noise.

    As the owner of two QC35IIs, I was of course very excited about these successors. I already think this ANC of them is the BEST of all so far. The latter is extremely important to me when it comes to the successor. A bit of background noise is not important to me. The only no-go's: No Alexa function or EQ anymore .... But I think: It is logical that a test soooo early still reveals small "problems". Wait a year and Bose will add one or the other function in both the firmware and the app. As they are now, and at such an early stage, I would never buy anything. As long as possible I stay with my forever beloved QC35II. Best EVER !!!
    A small addition: The absolute top class would be an ANC headphone where the user can set the frequency parameters of the ANC system himself, so that one would be able to eliminate a very specific noise by tuning (using rotary knobs or via app)

I drive an old 90 landrover and the 35's were superior on cancelling out the engine noise, the QC45's allow too much of a high frequency sound from the engine.

    Great review, thank you! i currently own the QC35's and i love them, the only drawback is actually the ear cups... they are garbage! if the material (leatherette??) that covers the actual foam pads fully wrapped the foam, they would be perfect. On my set, the earcups was/were the first thing to go (wear out), so now i have "aftermarket' earcups and they are more durable. So, i would say as far as your review, that's probably the reason the QC45's have a less flexible (tougher) ear cups. it may not really be a step-down. oh, lastly... battery life for me has dropped from 20hrs to about 12hrs... but i use mine every day for up to 10 hrs a day and they are 3 years old now.

    Great video, here in the UK I've seen the QC35ii go on sale to £189 quite often and the Bose QC700 for £202. Just wondering if its worth getting the 35ii's over the 45's which are £320. 700's are out of the picture because of touch controls, buggy software and clamp force.

    Hello, Ive seen some reviews you made for the QC35 and for the QC45 (also versus the Sony and Apple) and you always mention the “cabin pressure”. How do you know which one have more cabin pressure than the other? I couldn’t find that info when looking at the specs of each model so I will appreciate if you will explain that.

    After this review I just picked up the QC35 on target for $180 ,. I really wish they had usb-c charging but it's fine. I am going to use them as a headset from working from home I like the way these fit and can wear them for hours. I have the Sony WF xm4s and as much as I like them I can't wear them for too long and the call quality sucks so I use them for only music.

However I can only wear them for 2 hours at most as they get hot and the call quality is mediocre I used it a few times and never again, the anc is better that the Bose QC35 s but only magianally.
      If comfort and anc are your thing I would pick the Bose QC35 s those are the best earpads I ever used much better than the Bose 700, Sony xm4s, and from what gymcaddy says even better than the qc45.

    Thanks for the review, I was really considering on pulling the trigger on these as all I ever wanted was a pair of QC35s but with Type C charging. However, I am absolutely BAFFLED at what kinds of compromises Bose forces on you for going for their cheapest option, ESPECIALLY at this pricepoint!
    Since this review is over one and a half years old I checked Bose's firmware changelog and yes, they DID add an EQ in with an update. However, I am still not sold! Having to chose between Noise cancelling and transparency mode? more plastic? No conversation mode? The competition has ALL of these things for less than half the price! For example the soundcore Q30s, their noise cancelling is much worse, but they got the ability to turn it off and feature a conversation mode, the same kind the 700s have, but for only 80€ where I live, where they even come with a hard case! Compare that to the 200€ the softcase SE version of the QC45s cost here!
