Bose is an American audio company founded in 1964 by MIT professor Amar Bose, known for helping popularise consumer active noise cancellation. Its QuietComfort line is a mainstay of the travel-headphone market.

Near-universal praise for the quiet and the featherweight fit — and a sound that splits its listeners down the middle.

Bose's everyday noise-canceller: nearly everyone finds it comfortable and quiet, and almost nobody agrees on how it sounds.

Class-leading silence and comfort that most reviewers love — and an argument about almost everything else, from the bass to the creaks to the price.

The comfiest, quietest travel headphone finally gets USB-C lossless and a bigger battery — sold on the same bass-first tuning, a three-band EQ, a plastic build people argue about, and a firmware update owners revolted over.
