I agree with pretty much everything said here. But it's pretty disingenuous to compare the price of a new pair of headphones with a refurbished pair of headphones while under the assumption that they are both brand new.

[@jeremytheoneofdestiny8691]

I think you should spend a lot less time harping on price, because even just 4 months later they’re already $100 cheaper, which changes the entire equation here. So I think you could future-proof these videos better if you focused more on sound/features, and fixate less on price

[@jimmyturbo5]

Well said ! I just picked up a pair for £170 / $200 as part of Amazon prime day deals 😊

[@vmist91]

@@jimmyturbo5picked it up for £147 from Bose online yesterday

[@blame001]

QC45's randomly started blinking orange and white, was out of warranty by two months and they still sent me these for free. Thanks for the review.

[@Bussjaeger]

My Bose Q45 started to pause glitch connected via BT… Bose is sending me these as replacement. Thanks for the share.

[@jigar.m]

Went ahead with the qc45s on sale after watching this video. Thanks a lot Soundguys!

[@60beats44]

What a fascinating choice of background 'music'.

[@nicholasgearhart7597]

Straight up just compared a refurbished price to a brand new price and thought we wouldn't notice

[@welldoctor]

Note that the price difference you were showing was comparing a new Quiet Comfort and a “RENEWED” QC45. Just FYI. I do appreciate the honesty on the sound though. Found that very interesting.

[@A.E.S.R]

Do you know the difference between the original vs the renewed QC45 version?

[@droid2D2C3P0]

​@@A.E.S.Rrenewed is just a more tasteful way to say refurbished..

[@gorillagorilla5929]

Surprising that this video doesn’t even mentions the biggest drawback of QC45 is that it becomes unusable in windy conditions due to anc being always on. New Quietcomfort address that issue but apart from that it is mostly the same. So if you want to wear the headphones everywhere then QC45 is not even an option.

[@aaakmm1785]

Nice review. Will you review Ultra version soon?

[@SoundGuys]

Absolutely! Stay tuned! :)

[@everyonesfavoritesidechara3816]

I have these headphones and i really like them.

[@Mike4VR]

For those saying that Bose (as a company) is falling behind... I just received the brand new Bose Quietcomfort Ultra earbuds and they're incredible! The immersive audio is the best I've ever heard. I wish that they would've put the same tech into the quietcomfort headphones that are discussed in this video. Maybe the next gen will have it.

[@insanereindeer4081]

I'm excited to get mine. I'm still rocking my QC25s.

[@stephbyn2654]

⁠I couldn’t agree with you more. I just picked up the QC Ultra and the sound is amazing. I’m thinking the people that have an issue with the sound are ones that like flat sounds. And your right, the immersive feature is not gimmicky like some of the others, I’ve used it while listening to music and movies and it’s simply amazing!

[@3037Imp]

Completely agree on the sound quality. Honestly thinking of returning these because of the weird sound characteristics, first pair of Bose headphones too😬

[@zojirushi1]

So which is better? Qc35II or new qc? Is it worth the upgrade from the qc35II?

[@Geekosification]

Thats too bad. What a wasted opportunity to make it THE upgrade from the QC35. I like the design, but I want all the bells and whistles of audio codecs.

[@An.Individual]

is he showing the quietcomfort or quietcomfort ultra?

[@zackarovegothico]

This is what we needed to hear ! Good job soundguys

[@mikkelhagen9177]

Just bring back the QC35 :( They messed everything up.

[@kevindiossi]

I’m so confused why these were even produced or named the way they were. I’ll keep the QC45s or look at the Ultras.

[@harshpherwani6590]

the sound profile difference is hilarious and destroys the point of QCs. yep. if the sound profile is your thing QC45's are better.

[@serrael-182]

​@@harshpherwani6590the qc 45s are already horrible dont thinl the new ones can be worse :D

[@lawrencelim6890]

@@harshpherwani6590the qc45 for me sound super shrill and lowering the treble in the eq actually removes essential detail rather than removing the high end shrill sound. Having used the qc, I actually much prefer the new sound signature.

[@michael-4k4000]

Getting rid of my QC45 for these new QC green! I’m so stoked to get my new pair Yippee.

[@user-gx9wt7dn3t]

How does it sound

[@michael-4k4000]

@@user-gx9wt7dn3t The new QC in black are simple the "Cats Meow". They are near perfect, the QC has more bass than the 45's.

[@teemoney9860]

What about wind noise cancellation upgrade?

[@timeobsessed]

Possibly the most important change for people that use them outside

[@tommytqt1]

I need a pairs. Which one should i get btw those 2. They are only $50 different atm. Thanks

[@PolochAngriff]

Bose customer support is hard to beat if that helps at all.

[@Charlydx21]

Do you know is the QC45 can play music with the 3.5 mm cable and no battery charge like the Beats Solo? I never charged my solo 3 for two years and it still had power when I used the 3.5 mm cable.

[@daraakinsooto7247]

I am still using my xm4 headphones, and I have had them since they cane out and I want to upgrade, I am thinking of going for the xm5 headphones or waiting for the Bose QC ultra? Please, any suggestions and opinions will be greatly while keeping in my mind wallet, please, haha.

[@twoknots404]

Which one did you end up buying

[@daraakinsooto7247]

​@@twoknots404 none yet

[@vokso11]

I owned both Sennheiser Momentum 4 and Bose QC45 and I chose to keep the Momentum 4 for the following reasons: The audio is far better with a Much stronger bass, the battery is 60hrs vs. 24hrs for the QC45, and the momentum has far better Microphones for phone calls. Overall better value for the money ! On the other hand, the Bose has a much better ANC and I love the buttons.

[@ebenezerstooge]

good choice

[@edmel144]

From what I can tell the new 'Quiet Comfort Headphones Wireless' (which are not the 45s) have an excellent mic for phone calls. One of the main reasons I want new headphones it to take audio notes, and give my smart phone commands.

[@serrael-182]

For my ears the qc 45 were worse with the high frequenzies. (I returned them because of that last year) Did you compare the graphs between these two?

[@The_MEMEphis]

Yeah the highs are worse on the new ones it's half way through the video

[@aylorpaul39]

They are not quiet the same . QC 45 doesn't have windblown and in-line microphone, but agree if ANC not deal breaker Momentum 4 Wireless are better value

[@jaywhite1141]

I’ve got the QC45s I’m thinking about upgrading to the new ultra ones or the quiet comfort ones.

[@kaibeh]

Bought the new ones for $320 aud on sale so around $212 usd great value for that price

[@mindfull6254]

The SoundGuys know best 😎

[@stephenknight6562]

No they don’t

[@scootosan]

I wear OTE sound canceling headphones during flying on Aircraft and when others don't want to be disturbed on the ground. I like my Bose "buds "several variations. A5 5 band EQ would be nice for the present, future and past for updates.

[@slmslm3585]

Pls reply me pls does it cancel nosie without music

[@timbukstu9861]

I am confused. you are saying the Momentum 4 are 100 cheaper, but you are showing refurbished compared to new. I think that is disingenuous. On Amazon currently, the new quietcomfort are only 30 bucks more. Of course it makes little sense to upgrade from the QC45.

[@Jorge.O85]

Where can i get those sennhiser momentum 4 for 229.95 dlls ? 🤔

[@akki015]

I am getting Sennheiser momentum 4 and Bose new QuietComfort for the same price. Which one is better?

[@chocolatewheelchair]

Bose I assume

[@bilalqadir8922]

sennheiser for sound

[@akki015]

Brought bose QC45, changed the EQ to treble-5 and base +3

[@EstaDePiPi]

Where’s that ultra review

[@DroidLocks6971]

....We must just buy for ourselves since no 2 reciewers agree on sound quality....

[@JuanMartinez-bi3rx]

The Bose quietcomfort wireless is not very reliable. I bought these from Amazon new and I have had problems with them almost from the beginning. They were fine at first but then they just starting cutting off. I also had problems with their earbuds. I tried twice to like Bose but I just seem to have problems with them. I think I'll just have to get the Sony wh-1000xm5. I do not have problems with Sony.

[@slmslm3585]

Does it cancel voice without music Does it cancel kids yell Really i need help on this bcs i got dumb neighbours does it press your head from ears Is headphone better or ear buds better for noise cancel and get less press on ears

[@buttercuup02]

i haven't ever used noise cancelling earbuds, but i have heard that over ear headphones are better at noise cancelling than earbuds. also even if it doesn't cancel out your neighbors entirely, it'll definitely help a lot, so it might be worth a shot! i hate having noisy neighbors

[@darkstepwarrior88]

O just dont get bose, this model they screwed up the eq. The qc 45 has limited options in the app. I have the nc 700 and that model has it all. Good sound, nc and eq + adjustable nc options. So i know they can make a good headphone they just bounce around a lot.

[@kiera7455]

Does anyone have experienced reviews listening to classical, metal, and jazz on these? I think that's the bulk of what will feed through if I do purchase.

[@SoundGuys]

Harley from SoundGuys here! During my time with the device I listened to a variety of classical/orchestral pieces. I found that stringed instruments sounded pretty good on these headphones. However, the emphasized low-end does mean that low strings like cellos and double bass, as well as timpani and other drums, sound a little louder than I'd prefer. Some people may appreciate this extra bass, others may not. Hope this helps. Happy listening!

[@perfectlysureunknown]

My problem with buying the old headphones is the degradation of the battery.

[@timothy4131]

My Bose QuietComfort 45 just died so I brought the new one so we'll see

[@ClaxtonBay123]

Bro wheres the Ultra review? Thays why im here.

These also choke you when they are around your neck and I am a female, can’t imagine what they would be like in a guy. I got mine at Costco.

[@etrenome6717]

Bose quiet comfort is weak. I bought it today and it didn't noise cancel much of anything and the sound quality was okay at best.😔

[@raghavdhariwal]

Hey bro I wanted to ask that tws earbuds are shutting down gloably right?? Because of demand decreasing so it will get shut down forever in future and then there will be no tws earbuds and headphones is that true please explain

[@malobuchino]

Dont forget that the Sennheisers last up to 50hrs, while these... NEW Bose ones are up to 18

[@scootosan]

that color does not equate that price point

[@timothy4131]

I'm glad I don't listen to a lot of these videos because my my Bose qc45 stopped turning on I was charging them and they wouldn't turn on I had it for like since July 2022 so I looked on Walmart and these headphones the quiet comforts were 245.00 on sale so I brought them and so far they've been better power than the last ones maybe because the battery is in the brand new but and the sound has been really good and I haven't had any problems so when I first watched the videos before the headphones got here I started getting discouraged but I'm satisfied with them

[@oliverstemp9132]

sent them back after 1 hour bose quietcomfort headphones , cheap plasticky , no touch controls , no auto pause when removed from head poor battery life , back to sennheiser momentum 4 , better sound , better build , 60 hr battery , and bought them cheaper than bose ...........

[@adamr8628]

Better to buy QC25 And run it through a quality bluetooth adapter/amp. You will have a massive increase in sound quality and a huge drop in price. And it even has a replaceable AAA battery, for longitivity and convenience. QC25 is the real upgrade, and many people miss that point.

[@learnsomethingneweveryday4857]

I've got new headphones for Christmas. They doesn't stay connected more than 30 seconds or I can get an app for connection. It was free for 5 days and then I have to pay a monthly fee. I throw them in the garbage where this company belongs. And bought a pair at Walmart fo 28 bucks that works as good.

[@harshpherwani6590]

absolute money grab with a price hike AND a downgrade? amazing work bose /s

no mention about the shitty ass delay while clicking the action button, the shitty custom profiles, equalizer not syncing to the bose but device only, turning on/off awful sound effects and so on? come on, Micro USB is trash but i'd give up the usb-c for a better experience of the QC 35 (the description I gave is from the QuietComfort, idk about the other shit with bose's shitty branding onto 45 / 45 ... SE? whatever that means / QuietComfort

knowin it still uses bluetooth 5.1 that's bullsheeet considerin this is a newer headphone from 2023 and other brands already uses bt 5.3 like soundcore q45 and its 2x cheaper than these crap .. definitely not worth it.
