Promising review: "I bought these headphones to replace my old Wired QuietComfort headphones that I have had for over 20 years. My old headphones finally had the plastic break where the earpiece attaches to the headband on one side. I am sure that this was just from age. I have several earbuds from other manufacturers and almost did not buy the Bose wireless Quiet Comfort Headphones because I already had some really good earbuds. Then I thought the QuietComfort Headphones would be nice because of the excellent comfort and noise cancelling feature of my old ones. As soon as I put them on, I was blown away by not only the comfort, but the sound quality! WOW! I heard things in my music that I had not heard before. The sound quality and comfort are excellent. It is just hard to beat that Bose sound! I am a bass guitar player and the Bose headphones bring out the bass in music, but it is not overpowering bass. It is just right and the details of the music are spectacular! It was a smart purchase. I am glad I decided to buy the new ones to replace the old ones that I loved so much. I highly recommend the Bose QuietComfort Headphones!" — BKM

Promising review: "I work in manufacturing and all other headphones or ear buds I have purchased didn't cancel out the loud machines. These headphones are amazing! The sound quality is great! Even sounds wonderful on a low volume so I can hear my music and the people around me. They are also very comfortable! They surround my ear instead of sitting on top and smashing them! Highly recommended!" — Kim
Apple’s luxury TikTok-viral headphones
Rating: 4.4 out of 5 stars
The surprisingly stylish Apple AirPods Max headphones feature active noise cancellation, spatial audio and memory foam ear cushions for a comfortable fit. They come in five colors.
Promising review: "Love these headphones, the buds never fit in my ears properly so these over the ear are my favorite. I fly a few times a week for work and these are the best headphones on the plane. I never realized how loud the plane was until I turned the noise cancellation off mid flight just to see if it actually worked." — Jackie Griffith
A budget-friendly option with thousands of accolades
Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars
With active noise cancellation, high quality sound, strong bass and a whopping 40-hour playtime on a single charge, these headphones are a great budget option for wireless listening. They come in blue, black, pink and silver.
Promising review: "The sound is very clean and deep. It had extra bass if you like it and the noise canceling is amazing. I am impressed by the quality of sound and the price. Don’t think twice and get them. The headphones themselves are great made and good quality. They are also very comfortable around the ears with that super soft memory foam. I have buds but after a while they slide of my ear and make it sore so this is a much better choice." — Sara

I love them and are worth the money." — SkylarG

The battery life beats most of their competitors and I can't get over the high quality sound. The fact that you can use these connected by bluetooth or cord is a big bonus too!
