Never undervalue a great pair of active noise-cancelling headphones. The ability to tune out all of the outside noise around you and tune into your music is absolutely essential to holiday travel. That’s why we’re glad that one of the best noise-cancelling headphones are on sale for Cyber Monday deals. In our Bose QuietComfort 45 review we said that these are “a no-brainer for Bose fans" and rival the Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones for the best headphones in 2022. Like the Sony, the Bose QC45 offer high-end active noise canceling – some of the best ANC we’ve experienced on any set of headphones. We also loved the surprisingly useful Bose Music App that can be downloaded for free. In terms of audio performance, the QuietComfort 45 offers excellent sound quality that lean toward the warm end of the frequency spectrum, but also produce plenty of detail and crisp mids. Audiophiles will appreciate the fact that frequency range is increased when listening in wired mode with lows being punchier and more pronounced. Admittedly, the call quality could be better, and you can’t turn off ANC to save even more battery life, but overall you’ll be very happy with these headphones.
