They may not be the most stylish headphones (the Bose 700 take that title), but the QC45 has a lot of other things to love about them. They’re comfortable to wear for hours on end and have handy built-in control buttons, a switch to switch from ANC to ambient sound mode, a USB-C port for charging, and an impressive 22.5-hour battery life. . They pump out a clear, balanced sound and Bose has managed to improve on their already stellar ANC. Multiple microphones along with a “proprietary digital chip” in the QC45 help detect and mute more mid-range frequencies, which should mute things like the subway train you’re riding on or the sound of someone else’s Zoom call nearby.
All of these features lead us to give the QC45 a score of 86 in our review, but the cans come with a few downsides. Aside from the lackluster yet comfortable design, the QC45 has no auto-pause and its connectivity to multiple devices can be frustrating due to the fact that they don’t automatically reconnect to a second device after you get a call. But if you can live with those compromises, the QC45 is a solid pair of wireless ANC headphones that are even better for this retail price.
