About this product
The Bose QuietComfort Wireless Headphones are over-ear Bluetooth headphones built around noise cancelling and long-wear comfort. They suit frequent flyers, open-office workers and anyone searching for comfortable noise cancelling headphones for travel with a wired backup.
How much does the Bose QuietComfort Wireless Headphones cost?
When we last checked in October 2026, the Bose QuietComfort Wireless Headphones was typically selling for about $200 – $275 in the US. That is an approximate range, not a quote: the retailer changes prices often, and colour, size or storage options can move it up or down.

Key features
- Active and passive noise reduction: electronic noise cancelling works together with the physical seal of the ear cups to quiet the outside world.
- Quiet and Aware modes: Quiet mode applies full noise cancelling, and Aware mode lets surrounding sound through so you can hear announcements or traffic.
- Plush cushions and padded band: soft over-ear cushions and a padded headband are designed for long listening sessions.
- Adjustable EQ: bass, mid-range and treble can be adjusted to taste.
- Up to 24 hours of battery: the brand rates the battery at up to 24 hours per charge.
- Quick charge over USB-C: according to the manufacturer, 15 minutes of charging adds up to 2.5 hours of playback.
- Wired option with in-line mic: the included audio cable has a microphone and lets the headphones work without Bluetooth, even when the battery is depleted.
What we like
- A design focused on comfort for long flights and workdays.
- A simple two-mode approach that is easy to switch.
- The cable is included and has its own microphone for calls.
- They still play music by wire when the battery is flat.
What to consider
- Twenty-four hours is a shorter battery rating than several rivals in the premium tier.
- Two modes means less fine control over how much outside sound comes in; check the listing for any custom settings.
- This is a premium-tier purchase; cheaper pairs handle basic noise cancelling.
- No water or sweat resistance rating is listed, so they are not intended for workouts.
Who should buy it
The Bose QuietComfort Wireless Headphones suit people who wear headphones for many hours at a time and put comfort and quiet first: regular flyers, train commuters and those working in shared spaces. The wired cable makes them practical for in-flight entertainment systems.
Skip the Bose QuietComfort Wireless Headphones if battery life is your top priority, if you want spatial audio or lossless USB playback, or if you need headphones for exercise. Longer-lasting mid-range pairs or sport earbuds will fit better.
How it compares
Over-ear headphones run from basic wireless pairs with no cancelling, through mid-range ANC models, to premium headphones. The Bose QuietComfort Wireless Headphones belong to the premium group, where the focus is on cancelling quality and comfort. Mid-range models often match or beat the battery rating but usually use firmer padding and simpler cancelling. The brand’s name also appears on other QuietComfort versions, so confirm which one the listing shows. Active cancelling counters noise electronically; passive isolation is the physical blocking done by the cushions, and these use both.
