The perfect balance of quiet, comfort, and sound

The original noise canceling headphones are back, with world-class quiet (plus the new Aware Mode), shockingly light materials for premium comfort, and proprietary acoustic technology for deep, clear sound. It's an icon reborn. Bose QuietComfort 45 headphones. The perfect balance of quiet, comfort, and sound.

The noise canceling headphones that started it all

Acoustic Noise Canceling - it started right here with the original QuietComfort headphones. World-class Bose technology uses tiny microphones hidden in the earcups to continuously measure, compare, and react to outside noise, then cancel it with the opposite signal. Use the button on the left earcup to choose from Quiet Mode for full noise canceling, or Aware Mode to let in some of your surroundings.

More music and awareness

Aware Mode brings the outside world in with microphones that pick up the sounds around you and play them naturally through the headphones. It's your music and your environment at the same time.

Bose innovations for high-fidelity audio

Bose engineered QC45 headphones with exclusive audio technologies. TriPort acoustic architecture vents the earcups to add depth and fullness without increasing their size. And Volume-optimized Active EQ maintains balanced performance at any volume, so bass stays consistent when you turn it down and the music is still clear when you turn it up.

Comfort in the details

Everything that made the original an icon is still here. Just refined. Like an updated design with smooth, pleatless cushions and earcup caps crafted from a single piece for a clean look. While luxuriously plush synthetic leather, impact-resistant glass-filled nylon, and custom cast-metal hinges were each meticulously selected for their exceptional comfort and durability. Add in minimal clamping force, and you'll almost forget you're wearing them - even after hours of listening.

More music from longer battery life

QuietComfort 45 headphones give you more play time than their predecessor, with 24 hours on a single charge. And they charge via USB-C in up to 2.5 hours. A quick, 15-minute charge gives you up to 2.5 hours of play time. Or plug in the included audio cable to listen for even longer in wired mode.

Clearer conversations than the competitors

The voice pickup of QC45 headphones exceeds the competition. Tiny microphones in the earcups focus on your voice, while a noise-rejecting algorithm filters out environmental sounds.

Customized control

The Bose Music app walks you through guided setup, making it easy to get started. Plus, access all noise cancellation settings, manage your Bluetooth connections, enable a shortcut, and more.
