Editor's take
Bose's flagship QuietComfort over-ear ANC headphone in black, with Quiet/Aware listening modes, adjustable EQ and up to 24 hours of battery, at $248.99 (down from $359) with 21,872 reviews at 4.5 stars.
The Bose QuietComfort headphones pair full active noise cancellation with an 'Aware Mode' that lets outside sound in without removing the headphones, toggled via touch controls. High-fidelity audio comes with adjustable EQ for bass, mid-range and treble, and a 30mm dynamic driver handles playback. A 3.5mm cable with in-line mic is included so the headphones keep working wired if the battery runs out.
Battery life is rated at up to 24 hours, with a 15-minute USB-C quick charge providing about 2.5 hours of extra playtime — solid but noticeably shorter than several other ANC headphones in this comparison (the Sony WH-CH520 and JBL Tune 730BT both claim well over 50 hours). Multipoint Bluetooth lets you stay connected to two devices at once. Amazon's spec table lists the item weight at 238g and confirms 'Active Noise Cancellation' explicitly, plus a frequency response of '20000 hertz' — Amazon only reports this single upper-bound figure rather than a full range, so we've kept that framing rather than inferring a lower bound Amazon didn't state.
With 21,872 reviews at 4.5 stars and a listing explicitly 'Not Water Resistant', this is a strong, well-reviewed premium ANC pick, discounted about 31% off its $359 list price.
Pros
- Full active noise cancellation confirmed by Amazon's own spec table, with a separate Aware Mode for situational awareness
- 21,872 reviews at 4.5 stars, a large and credible review base
- Adjustable EQ and multipoint Bluetooth for two connected devices
- Includes a wired 3.5mm cable option with in-line mic if the battery runs out
Cons
- 24-hour battery life is shorter than several other headphones in this comparison
- Amazon's spec table reports only a single '20000 hertz' frequency figure with no stated lower bound
- Not water resistant, no IPX rating
- Foldability not confirmed in this listing's spec table
Ideal for: Buyers who want Bose's flagship ANC performance and Aware Mode flexibility and don't mind a shorter battery life than budget alternatives.
