A downgrade?? 😱😱 Bose QC45 vs 700

- Опубликовано: 26 июл 2024
- Bose released a successor to one of our all time favorite headphones; the QuietComfort 35! We’re excited about the QuietComfort 45, but also a bit confused. It's not the successor to Bose’s flagship, the NCH 700. So what is it?

“Pop pop popsicle, ice ice icicicle, test test..“ I was expecting something else than “testing” here..
Same
Yes….., test test testicle😂😂😂😂😂
Test test testicle 123
I always say that specific word every time I watch one of their videos😂😂
I like your headphone microphone tests. A lot of the headphone reviews on RUclips do not put enough emphasis in their review on the microphone quality. I find this to be very helpful.
Fantastic review! 😍 I really do appreciate testing mic and ANC, a lot of reviews do not include it. I'm wondering between Bose 700 and Bang & Olufsen HX, what would you choose? I'm amazed with the phone calls quality of 700, what do you think about B&O? Many thanks, watching your videos is a pure pleasure 💪🏻
So much so much hard work put into this one. Subscribed, but I am not someone who spends time on RUclips. So I hope you guys get more organic views. Simply amazing. And this is me coming after watching 25-30 other such videos. Thought this has less views so maybe generic but what an amazing review + comparison video.
the jokes and inuendos in these really seperate you guys from other reviewers, these vids are really fun :D
Thank you dude! 😁
It would be helpful if you can do a comparison between QC45, XM4 and Airpods Max. Thanks DHRME.
I'm amazed your channel isn't bigger, you are both so eloquent which is really important for tech reviews, you really are careful about the details you give and how you describe things, I have watched thousands of hours of reviews and never heard one as clear, precise and well spoken.
Wow! Thank you for the compliment!
Same thing. One of the best comparisons between these 2 models. Surprised it doesn’t have a million views. RUclips gods are biased.
Thank you guys. I tried both and 45 is muchhhhh more immersive than 700
What I noticed is that the QC45 build up more of a pressure feeling with the ANC on, whereas the 700 were more pleasant in this respect, especially when you don't play music. This is even more critical because as you mentioned the ANC modes on the QC45 can't be completely turned off.
Yes, the 700 has a more controlled ANC cabin pressure, even better than the Airpods Max in my opinion
Oh my god, I might return the 45s then because the pressure feeling is absolutely unbearable. Which headphones would you recommend without the strong pressure feeling?
QC45 all day,every day!
I actually developed an addiction for wearing qc45.
Comfortable and quiet.
Many times i just turn them on and wear them without playing anything.
Just enjoying the silence.
Excellent video you guys!!! If I were to wear my headphones for 3-4 hrs at a time with ANC turned on and no music, which of these 2 headphones would be more comfortable?
Bose 700
How is the Bass now since u can update your headphones and obtain EQ!! please share with us
Decent review channel, I’ve been listening to similar channels. Output here seems sharp and to the point
Hows the bass compared between the 2?
the difference is only like 20g in weight. 254 for the nc700s and 238 for the qc45s
Good comparison! Surprised that Bose QC 45 did not use the same tech available in Bose 700 for better noise cancellation. Please do a comparison of Bose QC 45 vs Sony 1000 XM4 as well.
That would be cool to see
Hello. I bought the qc 45. When noise cancellation is turned on to quiet mode should I still be able to hear someone speak to me when I wear the headphones no music just noise cancellation
Please, who is the best for u? Bose CQ45? Marshall Monitor II?
Great format for audio reviews. Audio is so subjective, but I think you guys have really nailed a review method that works. Love the Buy or Not to Buy; really highlights the pros and cons. "Verbose Bose" was a relatively simple word-play, but my favorite of this episode for some reason.
Thank you Gabe. Cheers!
In your opinion, which would be better for someone hard of hearing?
How good are the raycon h100 's anc?
Excellent video! I chose the QC 45 over the NCH 700: more affordable, simpler, and physical buttons! I didn't want gradations in noise cancellation - I want it to be either 100% or nothing. You can't go wrong with either, though. My only regret is that I couldn't get the smoky/white/silver, as they never seem to be in stock. So, I just settled for basic black - but am quite happy with my purchase. Great video, gentlemen!
Thanks Raj 🙏 and a great choice! Currently the pair I’m using as well 😉 -Kevin
Same here
Try QC45 eg settings Bass+6,mid +7 and treble +4. Check if your audio sound improved.
Not sure if you're familiar with Monty Python's Twit of the Year sketch, but it's kind of what I'm thinking Bose headquarters looks like after patiently watching them botch the 35ii, the 700 and now the 45 (jmho of course) 😭😭😭How HOW how could they blow the eq this time!!??
I just buy these bose qc45 a few days ago and notice that serial number on the box and in bose music app is different. Is anyone have dealt with that? Is that normal? The headphones works and sounds great btw
Great review guys, best I’ve seen on comparing the two. Speaks to things the majority of users need to know… well, I think so at least! Keep it 👍🏾
Glad it helped! Thanks for your comment 😃
What should I buy rn? QC45 or NC700? big head grad student.
“Test test testicle” 😂
The weight difference is roughly 20 grams not even close to a 100!
And the 700 are ipx4 rated.
Question for u guys..honestly now..are you modding the mic tests gain values to make a certain reviewed item will have better results???
IVe noticed how the soundcore liberty pro3 sound way better on its glory days reviews than in later comparisons.
Would appreciate if any other reason for the diff in mic results in diff videos.
Thank you
Many factors - usage, updates, slightly varying conditions. We don't reuse recordings (even though it's easier), because updates affect a lot of things.
Very comprehensive. Thank you!
Just bought the qc45 after 2 years of using the qc35ii. not worth it! they have a hissing/static noise when in 'quiet' mode that doesn't go away. will be back to best buy to exchange for the sony's and see how that goes.
Is there anything else as comfortable as the 45?
On the ANC testing, doesn't the QC45 shut out a LOT MORE flight noise than the NC700 in your testing? I agree on everything else but the AB testing seemed, to my ears, to show that if your sole criterion is low-freq powerful noise reduction the QC45 wins.
so right!
True, their ANC comparison is crap.
I’ve been on a headphone hunt for the last two weeks and every model I research leads me to your videos. Just want to say that you guys are awesome! Very thorough and honest. Thank you 🙏
Haha thank you so much! We do our very best!
Guys!!! Please do the QC45 vs the XM4s pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Thank You soo much.
Great video, thanks!
I cant decide between the inear xm4 and the bose 700
Thanks for this great video
are there cheaper headphone that has same comfort
about 75$

I bought the QC45's right after Christmas, just returned them for 700's. The 45's were great, except had major sound leakage. People around me were both distracted and somewhat annoyed. The 700's seem to be much better. This is an aspect that no one seems to mention in reviews.
We didn't notice it, but thanks for mentioning it Mike!
Completely agree with you on this. One of the biggest factors to me when choosing headphones are soundleakage. The 700s do better as the cups are more firm and tighter.
Thanks! Amazing review🎉, am gonna buy QC45 ;)
amazing review... after watching many, many videos i have decided thanks to you for the NC 700
Good choice! The Ultra is around the corner though 😉
Just now they are nearly the same price. Which one to buy if there is no difference in the price?
Very much interested to know the same. I like the better tech features 700s give and the design. But is the audio quality better in qc45 after the latest firmware upgrade ?
I just purchased the QC45 on clearance at my Walmart for 140.00 USD couldn't be happier they sound great to me. Thanks for the great work guys as a new subscriber you both have become my favorite reviewers.
Not having google fast pair makes it look outdated.
Pop Popsicles ice icesicle test test testicle wrongly Heard , then i increased volume all the way it was clear testing
I use headphones eight hours a day for my job and have been using the Sony WH-1000xm4s. Over time, the drivers pressed on my ears, giving me daily ear fatigue. I recently picked up the QC45s for the sole purpose of cutting back on ear fatigue. They are a game changer! There is so much more space in the ear cups in the Bose than the Sonys. so I can keep them on much longer. The ANC is an added bonus as I feel that it's better at cancelling noise than Sony. My only gripe is that music on the Sonys is much punchier.
I have the same problems with most headphones where my ears touch the earcups inside, it's annoying. So your ears don't touch the earcups on the qc45? Lot of air and room for your ears to breathe? I'm thinking of returning the bose 700s for the added comfort of the qc45
@@Caesar-ww3yp Yes, I have a naturally big head and medium-sized ears and I can use the QC45s for the whole workday without half as much fatigue as other headphones. My ear only touches the drivers when I push the headphones as hard as I can I to my ears and even then, they barely touch
@@roberts9078 that's great to hear. Have you tried the qc35? I wonder if they're better comfort than those
@@Caesar-ww3yp Yes, I actually had the QC35s for a year before the Sonys. I think the 45s are slightly more comfy.
Damn it! I was already sold on XM4 until your comment lol now I’m redoing my research and now either getting Bose 45 or Senn 550 II….XM4 is last in the list
I was looking for an excuse to get the QC45 but I just found that it is worthless having the 700s in the market so by extension it's worthless too to spend that much money to not get to a good standard.
I should've seen this video before I went and bought the QC45s. My 5 year old QC35-IIs developed a crackling, hissing fit off-late and I wanted a good replacement. My wife and I shared audio while watching movies together using the QC35s. It's a shame these 45s are not backwards compatible. Apple is being apple and only allows BT5 audio sharing on apple audio devices. At the 300$ price point, I expect more as a consumer, I feel shortchanged. Or may be i shouldn't?
Some additional points for anyone interested - (Comparing with the 35s)
1. ANC is better but crackles more in loud environments
2. Build is more plastic
3. ANC can't be turned off completely - Only quiet mode or passthrough mode
4. The Mic is a downgrade
5. Sound is richer
6. Earcups are bigger, but I've small ears so it doesn't help
7. No NFC pairing
8. Only available in black and white
9. Can only use the Bose Music App
10. Has completely replaced the 35s on the Bose store - So if you want a new pair of 35s, amazon is the only option.
Bose won't repair your old 35s and will only offer a discount on the 45s. But I feel like I'm losing more than I'm gaining.
@@cfarumust thank you for this. 👍
Thanks, guys. Good job!
Congratulations for your review !
🙏🏾
Can you do one with Sony srs-ns7 vs Bose Soundwear for call quality and sound quality? (P.S. I am more interested with indoors with quiet background, work from home type settings). Purpose being to avoid permanent damage to my ears using headphones all day long for various office calls. But not doing calls on full speakers that would disturb everybody at home.
please do a review of Yamaha YH-L700A

Me: testicle! Oh no… wait… 5:02
I really don't understand why Bose decided to boost the highs so much on the 45's. They should have just left the sound the same as the 35's :(. If anything, they could have just boosted the bass instead as that's what most people like. Anyway, they literally are the same drivers so IMO they should have just left them the same. All the reviewers have mentioned the highs being very pronounced and bright and many times harsh. I'm the kind of guy that prefers a warmer sound and I'm very sensitive to bright cans. It just sounds too harsh and causes discomfort. It's the only thing keeping me from buying these as my old QC35's (I'm wearing em right now) have the problem of randomly turning on and draining the battery even with the switch set to off. It doesn't happen every single day or all the time, but still, the problem's there and I've been waiting for Bose to come out with a successor so I can replace these cans. I'll hold off on it for now until I can either hear them in a store and see if I like the sound or if enough people complain and they bring the sound back to the old signature via a firmware update. It's about time Bose just puts a user adjustable EQ across the board. Everyone else is doing it, and they've already put it on the 700's so it's not like they don't already have the programming done. Could be a super quick patch. I can honestly wait until the XM5's come out. Edit: Idk how you guys think the 700's have better ANC, the 45's sounded slightly quieter to me in the tests you provided, specially on the airplane. That also coincides with Sounguys's review on their website, where they actually measure the level of attenuation and the QC45's edge out the 700's (as well as the XM4's).
Most reviewers have said that the 700s do better at dealing with bassy ambient sounds such as engines or ACs and such, but most others do a better job with higher end noise. I don't know if it really shows in this test specifically, but there have been a few have watched where I did notice that the 700s sounded better at dealing with an engine, but the 45s were better at dealing with chatter/ clanking noises
Also, is it worth to upgrade from Bose QC 35 to QC 45 - specifically for the ANC performance ?
Definitely . Just blue the 45s. Love the physical button s
Awesome review
The so-called transparacy mode actually amplifies outside sound and I don't like it.
This was literally a masterclass in efficient, in depth reviewing.
Cheers Vincent 🙏
The high end and sibilance on the qc45 ruined them for me despite the eq adjustment, the sound gave me headaches and some types of music and podcast were so irritating dare i say almost nauseating.
I went back to the qc35ii but i wanna try the 700 and see how comfy they are.
+ they’re are unusable when it’s windy
@@migo4316 which ones would you pick for wind situations then?
I have the 700 I thought to upgrade, but it seems downgrade in mic quality. thanks
the sound of the qc45 seems to be the same if not a little bit worse than the 700s. I'd stick with them
@@masoyoes thank you
Is this me or the QC 45 as MUCH better flight sound ANC?
I thought the same

(Correct Answer: yes, yes they do.)
🤣
Goedendag. Are you dutch?
Dat klopt!
Excellent comparison! Happy to keep my NC 700s 😊
Test test testicles would sound better
Микрофоны на 700 прям очень крутые. Очень удивило качество во всех ситуациях
However, I am seeing a little inconsistency in your videos, because in the comparison between the bose nc 700 and the sony xm4 you said that the sony have a much higher audio quality, while in the comparison between the qc45 and the sony you said that they are of much higher than the qc 45, however in the comparison between the qc 45 and the bose 700 you say that the quality is similar and sometimes better in the bose 700
your videos are well structured don't get me wrong, but I'm a little confused
Yeah, I noticed that too. The biggest thing is that the Sony's aren't meant to be balanced. They have a high emphasis on the bass which you can take away through the app, and this will sound like better quality for most people, but most reviewers and audiophiles agree that the Bose 700s are better/more true to what the artist made. However you can also tinker with the EQ in the Bose app. Basically, both are really good, but if you like bass, go for the Sony's, and if you want something that is very true to what the artist made, go for the Bose. The quality in both is very similar, but the EQ is tuned differently. As far as the noise canceling goes, the Bose and Sonys are both really good, but apparently the Sony's can sound kind of funny and have a white noise sound when active noise cancelling is on
Thanks
IMO the 700 is better than the QC45 in every aspect. And the QC35 have better music sound than the QC45. It seems that the only up grade was the battery.
Really great video
Thanks Maya!
You guys are brilliant
Right back at ya!
I've mentioned this in a few spots, so I'm sorry for the repeat comment, but I've been on a bit of an OCD Over the Ear Headphones kick since maybe June. I've purchased 11 sets to enjoy what they do best in their respective categories. Some I use just for the gym, so those are either sweat resistant or, I just care about the cans a little less, so I'm not terribly upset if they don't last forever since I'm going to sweat in them (looking at you Beats Studio 3 and JBL LIVE 660).
Some I use for heavy bass music, some for hard rock/metal and so on. It's been a fun little journey to say the least.
Now, fast forward to a few days ago. I finally broke down and added the Bose QC45 to my arsenal. I only delayed getting them because all reviews said they don't have great sound quality. Well, I beg to differ. I'm sitting here baffled by how much I love the sound of these after simply bumping the EQ to +8, +2, +6. I haven't played with the EQ anymore than that, so they might be tuned even better, who knows?
But what this tells me is, sound is very personal. The more I watch reviews and test my 11 cans out, the more I see that different people like different sounds and that's GREAT. Perhaps it's that I'm old, I'm 47 so maybe I don't hear certain things anymore or I hear it differently. But, the sound on these Bose QC45 sounds so full to me. The bass hits to where you can definitely bang your head a bit, but without drowning anything else out. Actually, I feel like I hear mids and highs so well in these compared to some of my other headsets. They are simply great!
Hearing that some people like the Beats Studio Pros more certainly peaks my interest. Also, Sony X5s will need to be checked out, but I've stayed away because I don't love touch controls. And now, I'm hearing Bose QC45 Elite or Deluxe or whatever they are calling them will be on the horizon.
Bottom line is, this is a good time to be into over the ear headphones. Great video as always.

They both have ip rating so they bit water resistant

It is not they’re sound good and microphones are much better then 35’s ....but they still charge 40 for cushions
Gimme SoundCore Q35 And Q45
Bose CQ45 vs Marshall Monitor II !
Bose created an inferior product which is the NC700 and then completely nerfed a great product, which is the QC line, so it won't get in the way of the the of an already trash one. Well done Bose.
Pop-pop-popsicle? :D
Papa popsicle
100 grams heavier ⁉
700’s have a really great mics for talking on the phone. I would get those i think. Right now they’re not that much more than the 45’s.
Edit: For got to say that I wish I could grow a beard like yours lol.
FCUK MAN GREAT REVIEW , SARDAR KHUSH HUA
What a bullshit review. The clumping force stronger on QC45 than on NC700? Bull.
