We will be comparing two of Bose's most popular headphones: The QC-45 and the QC-700. The QC-45 is Bose’s first wireless headphone that’s designed to deliver a premium listening experience with an emphasis on comfort. The QC-700 is the newest model in Bose’s flagship QuietComfort series, and it offers a few new features that make it worth considering over the 45.

The Bose QuietComfort 45 and the Bose QuietComfort 700 both offer excellent noise cancellation and a comfortable fit. The QC45 is more budget-friendly and offers the same noise cancellation as the QC700. The sound quality of both headphones is excellent, with the QC45 being slightly better for bass tones. However, it’s not a big difference and it’s hard to tell which one is better. The QC45 has a 20-hour battery life while the 700 has 35 hours so there is no clear winner here. The battery life on the 45 may be shorter but it charges quickly so this might not be an issue for most people. The only other difference between these two headphones is that the 700 comes with a hard carrying case.

The Bose QuietComfort 700 is a wireless noise-canceling headphone that has been designed to offer the best possible sound quality. The QC 45, on the other hand, is a wired headphone with active noise cancellation. The QC 45 headphones are lighter and less expensive than the 700s. It also offers better sound quality in comparison. The QC 700s have a more comfortable design, which makes them better for traveling. They are also much more expensive than the QC 45s and offer slightly better sound quality as well as excellent noise cancellation performance.
