My Bose QuietComfort 45 Wireless Bluetooth Noise Cancelling Headphones arrived a bit later than promised. Additionally, I bought them as new, but noticed the box had been opened, the instructions loose and a wrapper for the optional cords had been ripped off. I was definitely of the mind to return them and complain. However I inspected them for tell-tale signs of use, they appeared mint and figured I would at least try them out.
I connected them via bluetooth to my android phone, LG OLED TV, and my computer. All three sounded fantastic. When the bass kicked in during a movie it was outstanding. Bluetooth word/mouth sync on some shows was off but not on the majority of what I viewed. I did not experience noise issues, signal loss or any other negatives mentioned in other reviews. And they are unbelievably comfortable for extended periods of time. Battery life is very good. I've used them for 8 hours at a stretch and still had quite a bit of juice.
So I decided to keep them despite the initial open box disappointment. They were not advertised by Amazon as refurbished and definitely not offered at the refurbished price. But I know quality when I hear it. My other headphones are Grado's and they are a good comparison indicator (although open ear).
The ability to wander around and filter out noisy neighbors with these is worth the price alone. That I can go jogging, watch movies or sit around in perfect quiet comfort and work the New York Times puzzles and games is priceless.

REVIEW - Bose QuietComfort Over-Ear Headphones
Hannah Bickmore
Reviews with images
Ear Pads fall apart after 1 year
Please note that I’ve rated these headphones at 5-Stars for their excellent performance!Consequently I continue to buy them in spite of the fact that the foam ear pads have fallen apart on ALL 3 out of 3 pairs. I am partially disabled—spend most of my time in a recliner. No one treats their headphones with the care I do. So trust me, you will need duct-tape to keep these headphones comfortable on your ears.(for the record…the simulated leather casings are seam-welded around the encapsulated foam. That seam pulls apart in one spot, then slowly separates all the way around over 1-2 months.) But I will give Bose credit, all three pair still function well. The sound is fantastic, and the noise reduction works perfectly until the ear-muffs lose their seal against your ear.
