The Confusing Battle of the Bose QCs
They’re SO similar, right?
Bose is well known for its noise-cancelling prowess. In 2023, the audio giant laid down its marker, big time, with an overhaul of its headphone and earbud line-up.
We’ve said goodbye to the much-loved Bose 700 but welcomed the outstanding Ultra series, which come in the form of over-ear headphones and earbuds.
There’s another new entrant, though — the QuietComfort. Price-wise, these cans sit below the QuietComfort Ultra, but above the infamously brilliant all-rounders, the QC45.
The problem? The QuietComfort look identical to the QC45, save for a new colour option and talk of improved sound. The fact that, at the time of writing, Bose is selling both pairs of headphones on its website further adds to the confusion.
Thankfully for you, I’ve worked out what’s going on. So, whether you’re thinking about replacing your QC45 with the QuietComfort or you’re new to the Bose headphone game, this is the review to read.
