So these are the Bose QC45’s… now I’ll be honest I thought we were never going to get these headphones cause after the Bose NC 700’s came out I thought Bose was going to go in a new direction with their headphones. But I guess the QC35’s proved to be such a cult classic that bose ended up caving in. Now overall the QC45’s are good and they definitely deliver… but these headphones are rather peculiar, and I feel that bose is holding the QC45’s back a little bit.
