Bose QC45

So you get better sound from this featherweight QC45 that's smaller, lighter, and more comfortable.

Plus, volume-optimised Active EQ boosts highs and lows to maintain the same high-fidelity performance no matter how loud or soft you listen. Bass stays consistent when you turn down the volume and the music is still clear when you turn it up.

That's all configurable via the Bose Music app, which works alongside six tiny microphones hidden in the earcups to continuously measure, compare, and react to outside noise.

That noise is then cancelled with an opposite signal, resulting in fewer distractions – and more of your music.

Use the button on QC45's left earcup to choose from Quiet Mode for full noise cancelling, or Aware Mode to let in some of your surroundings.

Up to 24 hours of battery life on a single charge means you'll be tuned into your audio for longer. And a glass-filled nylon plus custom cast metal build means your Bose survives the elements longer.
