Noise-cancelling over-ear headphones
The 2023 successor to the QuietComfort 45, with the same design plus adjustable noise cancelling and custom modes. It has no Immersive Audio, and the USB-C port does not carry audio.
-
Adjustable noise cancelling
Besides Quiet and Aware modes, the app saves up to two custom modes with their own noise cancelling level. Reviewers found the noise cancelling strong, though not the best in its class.
-
Physical buttons
The ear cups use physical buttons rather than touch controls, which reviewers found reliable. The left Action button cycles modes or runs a shortcut.
-
Wired listening without battery
A 3.5 mm to 2.5 mm cable with an in-line mic is included, and the headphones still play over it when the battery is flat, without noise cancelling.
