Each part is measured the same way for every model (from specs and lab test measurements where they exist) and moves up or down with what reviewers praise or criticise.

Pros

  • Top-level ANC with custom levels, wind block and good Aware mode
  • Clear mids and vocals, balanced tuning
  • Soft and comfortable for long wear
  • Longer battery than QC45, quick top-up
  • Multipoint, works with Bose soundbars
  • Very comfortable and light, folds into a hard case
  • Strong ANC for everyday noise

Cons

  • ANC cannot be turned off
  • No spatial audio, wear detection or touch controls
  • Built-in mics only fair for calls
  • Mids can sound a little squeezed
  • Only a basic 3-band EQ
  • Battery short for the class
  • Still pricey; QC Ultra is better
  • Tom's GuideOct 2023

    Excellent noise cancellers with better sound and battery than the QC45, though a few extras are missing at the price. Tested US version.

  • TechRadarJan 2025

    Quietly excellent all-round headphones; those wanting flagship features may prefer the QC Ultra.

  • SoundGuysMar 2025

    Comfortable with decent ANC, but barely changed from the QC45 and their tester disliked the default tuning; buy an older Bose if cheaper.
