Bose QuietComfort 45 SE Noise Cancelling Headphones (Black)

You feel it the minute you put them on. The soft, plush cushions seal you in. Then you flip the switch and whoosh—the world fades. The music starts, and it’s love at first listen. That’s when you realise the true power of the next-gen QuietComfort headphones. After all, your music doesn’t begin with better sound—it begins with better quiet. That’s what made the original iconic. And with a best-in-class combination of noise cancelling performance and premium comfort, Bose QuietComfort 45 SE headphones are an icon reborn.

Key Features

Iconic quiet, comfort and sound.
Introducing the power of our next-gen QuietComfort headphones, now with a best-in-class combination of noise cancelling performance and premium comfort, plus proprietary acoustic technology for deep, clear audio. Bose QuietComfort 45 SE headphones—iconic wireless headphones with the perfect balance of quiet, comfort and sound.

The noise cancelling headphones that started it all.
Acoustic Noise Cancelling™—it started right here with the original QuietComfort headphones. And now it’s better than ever. With an additional external microphone (for a total of six) and enhanced signal processing, QC45 SE headphones dramatically cancel out noise so it doesn’t reach your ears.

More music. And awareness.
Aware Mode brings the outside world in with microphones that pick up the sounds around you and play them naturally through the headphones. It’s your music and your environment at the same time.

Bose innovations for high-fidelity audio.
Bose engineered QC45 SE headphones with exclusive audio technologies. TriPort acoustic architecture vents the earcups to add depth and fullness without increasing their size. And Volume-optimised Active EQ maintains balanced performance at any volume, so bass stays consistent when you turn it down and the music is still clear when you turn it up.

Personalise your audio.
Adjustable EQ allows you to set the bass, mid-range and treble levels to your personal preferences or select one of several preset options.

Comfort in the detail.
Everything that made the original an icon is still here. Just refined. Like an updated design with smooth, pleatless cushions and earcup caps crafted from a single piece for a clean look. While luxuriously plush synthetic leather, impact-resistant glass-filled nylon and custom cast-metal hinges were each meticulously selected for their exceptional comfort and durability. Add in minimal clamping force, and you’ll almost forget you’re wearing them—even after hours of listening.

More music from longer battery life.
QuietComfort 45 SE headphones give you more play time than their predecessor, with 22 hours on a single charge*. And they charge via USB-C® in up to 2.5 hours. A quick, 15-minute charge gives you up to 3 hours of play time. Or plug in the included audio cable to listen for even longer in wired mode.

Clearer conversations.
The improved voice pickup of QC45 SE headphones exceeds the competition. With the addition of a fourth microphone, the headphones are able to better focus on your voice. Plus a noise-rejecting algorithm filters out environmental sounds for clearer conversations.

Customised control.
The Bose Music app walks you through guided setup, making it easy to get started. Plus, access all noise cancellation settings, manage your Bluetooth® connections, enable a shortcut and more.
