I upgraded to the QCs from the QC 35 IIs, I was extremely disappointed in the new QCs, my old QC 35 II are definitely better. I ended up returning the new QC and went with Sony XM5 (XM4 also better than Bose)
Do these allow for disabling multi-point connections under Source in the app? I know the QC Ultras added that ability, so I’m curious if the QCs did as well. That feature was always a problem on the QC 45s.
i just bought these qcs and i love them. ANC works amazing especially during commute and wind blocking. They are super comfy even with glasses. I tried the qc ultras and the qcs feel more comfy for sure! i would recommend getting them if you dont have any anc headphones.
I never turn off noise cancelling so don’t care if you can’t turn off. Also on head detection is gimmick not need feature. Usually turn that feature off because find it doesn’t work all the time anyway on others anyway
True, yet turning ANC off can help extend battery life. Plus some people get headaches from ANC so listening with ANC off would be an option (passive noise cancelling is sufficient in many cases).
@@skekukhif people have headaches with ANC there are plenty of other options for them to choose from(even cheaper). When you buy Bose headphones nowadays it's because of a great comfort, good build materials and ANC. If you do not need ANC, I am struggling to understand why you would go for Bose.
I got these headphones for 250 dollars and I’m very satisfied with it. I think if you’re looking for sound quality at a similar price you should choose the Sony XM5. If you can get a good discount on this one I highly recommend it. Very lightweight and doesn’t take any space at all because of the flat storage cover it’s really well designed
These exist to fix the issues of 45’s - in the new ones you can (kinda) choose ANC level and use them outside in windy conditions. Although it seems like a software update could have fixed these issues for 45’s.
@@skekukh yes, seriously. What's wrong with it? My QC 35 II only has 4.1 or 2 maybe, my Nuraphones only have 4.0, my Momentum 4 has 5.1 and my QC Ultras 5.3 Overall they all feel identical and I didn't notice any benefit of the higher bt version.
THANK YOU for calling out the lack of ability to disable noise processing. I really really hate when headphones force ANC on. And on these headphones the ANC creates a pretty annoying white noise. Quite a shame because I love the sound quality.
@@houman2009 Don't really care about gimmicks. Sound quality is decent enough on almost any headphones above 100$, so I only care about ANC and comfortable fit.
Get the Ultras if this is important. I missed this function too, then I started thinking...was their ANY situation when I nearly got deaf because of the ambient mode? Nope.
Still rocking my Bose QC35 II set and they’re still brilliant ☺️

There was no useful information in your comment. What's wrong with the new QCs compare to the QC 35 II?
Just bought these today for $250. Amazing headphones at that price. Switched to these from the Beats Studio Pros.
I prefer the flat eq. I don't like bass heavy headphones. Although the Bose QC45 can output a shit ton of bass.
Great review ! Alot of detail I like it 👌
Thank you! Cheers!
check the new one's in windy conditions

Yes, you can turn it off in the app
The Bose qc series are very durable. And still have qc 35 ii still work and never had head band break unlike Sony

Do the Bose qc45s have the wind blocking too?
@@thomasmatas9188They don’t, unfortunately. Some claim they are impossible to be used outside because of that.
@@thomasmatas9188 no its only on the qc
@@thomasmatas9188 nope.

Straight forward, non gimmicky review. Thank you very much, great job. I got them at a steal from CEX, took a chance, like them a great deal.

Iam so happy bose haven't cave to big base, what would us who didn't want strong base do if all headphone were about bass...
Some reviewers said that the sound quality improved a little bit from the 45's, did you noticed any difference ?

Maybe the QC45s were so rushed that not even a software update could fix the issues, I never felt that 45s were complete.
Agree. But QCs indeed simply appear to be a fix of 45s, not an entirely new generation. Bluetooth 5.1 in late 2023? Seriously, Bose?

should exist,better than touch s@#$$, wire is good too
I was able to cop them for $175 last month.
Nice review. Can we count on follow up and comparison with Ultra headphones?
Yee son the ultra headphones are much better more features like immersive audio🎉

No comparison yet but Ultra review is up ua-cam.com/video/kkXUO2T5_pY/v-deo.htmlsi=2Nc32-1Kgd5HOFq7
No ActiveSense in Aware mode. I sent them back.
