Bose QuietComfort 45 Headphones Leaked Ahead of Impending Launch

I’ve been told the clarity is great, when I’ve used the qc35s in conference calls.

Yes, it’s so clear that the other party can hear what is happening all around you 🙄

That’s disclarity, I’m referring to clarity. 😬

Which model exactly, please? I'm on Bose 25 and thinking to switch over

Both the 1000-Xm3 and the latest xm4

Those who have tired the QC45's and AirPods Max, which is the most comfortable? Also, it's important to me that the ears do not touch the back of the ear cups. How big are the ear cups?

I owned the max and also own the QC45’s. QC45’s are more comfortable. Their earcups are smaller, but very deep on the rear side so your ears do not touch.

The top headband especially is ludicrously soft compared to the Airpod Max mesh band. I’d say the AirPods Max fabric cups are more breathable though.

Oh also, tip for anyone with issues on their old headphones: I commented earlier that my QC35’s (from 2016) seemed “infinitely repairable” and I wouldn’t get the QC45’s…

The QC35’s started constantly turning themselves on by themselves. Hugely annoying as it would snatch the audio from other running devices.

Unbeknownst to me, this must be a known fault with the 35’s or something, when I called Bose to arrange a paid repair, they did a FREE swap to a brand new pair of QC45’s!! No questions asked. Less than one hour from my call to pickup.

To receive such amazing support for a pair of headphones from 2016 has made me love the company even more. (A coworker also had the same issue with her pair from 2016 and the same thing happened - brand new QC45’s)

Thnaks for your reply. That is exceptional customer support. Can't wait to try out the QC45's. Thanks.
