WIRED Excellent ANC. Very comfortable. Detailed sound. Comes with hardshell case, wired cable for lossless audio and charging. TIRED So-so battery life. Voice quality is pretty bad during calls. No wireless high-res audio support. The Bose QuietComfort has been the business traveler's headphones. For many frequent fliers, Bose has been the go-to for noise-canceling headphones and has dominated the market. I’ve spotted close to a dozen of them at every airport and on every flight I’ve been on. That’s staying power for the company that pioneered noise-canceling technology in consumer headphones and has released many versions of the QC since 2000.
