Bose - QuietComfort Wireless Noise Cancelling Over-the-Ear Headphones - White Smoke

Comfort is great. Sound and bass are good. But if there's a slight breeze; i.e a fan or wind outside then it's unbearable. I also commute on the bus and I can hear people talking around me, the bus engine running. I am in Quiet mode and watching videos on my phone. The ANC seems pretty awful so far. I may return them but since it's been 3 days I will give a few more.

Nothing is better than Bose when it comes to headphones. My last over-the-ear pair of another expensive brand didn't last—the coverings over the ear pieces disintegrated. These give top fidelity and have simple manual controls for volume, ambient noise, etc. They are comfortable enough to wear for hours. And there were significant savings on sale!

This is my second BOSE QC headphones. I purchased the 2nd after the first were lost on a trip out west. I tried to use earplugs until I got the replacements but they just did not cut out the background noise. I use them in restaurants and other public places. While they allow the voice band through, all of the background noise is gone and I am much more comfortable reading with them on.

I upgraded from my 2017 Around Ear II and what a HUGE difference in sound. I really love the quiet features that you can turn off and on, and adjust. I bought the pink one (petal) and I just wish it was pinker, like the ads. Its lighter than i thought it would be.

I love these headphones, they look nice and sound great. The only caveat is that your ears will get warm after half an hour but that is the price you pay for wanting noise-cancelling headphones. Overall, if you want headphones for travel that don't disturb others and also give you an immersive experience, you will not find many better. At least not at this price-point.
