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

  • Cuts about 87% of engine-type noise
  • Very good passthrough mode
  • Battery lasted over 27 hours in their test
  • aptX Lossless on supported Android phones
  • Detailed, dynamic sound with strong bass
  • Class-leading noise cancelling
  • Comfortable for long wear, folds up

Cons

  • High price
  • No water resistance rating
  • Immersive Audio changes the sound more than it helps
  • Slight left/right channel mismatch found
  • Battery shorter than Sony rivals
  • Calls clear but a bit quiet
  • No USB-C audio
  • SoundGuysNov 2023

    A real step forward for Bose: very strong noise cancelling, long measured battery and top Android codecs (US model tested, updated 2025).

  • TechRadarJan 2024

    Pricey but worth it for the reviewer: superb detailed sound and the best noise cancelling he had tried, held back only by battery life (UK/US model).

  • Great sound plus possibly the best noise cancelling in its class; ideal for frequent flyers (US model tested).
