Product Details

  • Iconic quiet, comfort and sound : Introducing the power of our next-gen QuietComfort headphones, now with a best-in-class combination of noise cancelling performance and premium comfort, plus proprietary acoustic technology for deep, clear audio. Bose QuietComfort SE headphones—iconic wireless headphones with the perfect balance of quiet, comfort and sound.
  • The noise-canceling headphones that started it all: Acoustic Noise Cancelling—it started right here with the original QuietComfort headphones. And now it’s better than ever. With an additional external microphone (for a total of six) and enhanced signal processing, QC SE headphones dramatically cancel out noise so it doesn’t reach your ears.
  • More music. And awareness : Aware Mode brings the outside world in with microphones that pick up the sounds around you and play them naturally through the headphones. It’s your music and your environment at the same time.
  • Bose innovations for high-fidelity audio: Bose engineered QC SE headphones with exclusive audio technologies. TriPort acoustic architecture vents the earcups to add depth and fullness without increasing their size. And volume-optimized Active EQ maintains balanced performance at any volume, so bass stays consistent when you turn it down and the music is still clear when you turn it up.
  • Personalise your audio : Adjustable EQ allows you to set the bass, mid-range and treble levels to your personal preferences or select one of several preset options.
  • Comfort in the detail : Everything that made the original an icon is still here.Just refined. Like an updated design with smooth, pleatless cushions and earcup caps crafted from a single piece for a clean look. While luxuriously plush synthetic leather, impact-resistant glass-filled nylon and custom cast-metal hinges were each meticulously selected for their exceptional comfort and durability. Add in minimal clamping force, and you’ll almost forget you’re wearing them—even after hours of listening.
  • More music from longer battery life : QuietComfort SE headphones give you more play time than their predecessor, with 22 hours on a single charge. And they charge via USB-C in up to 2.5 hours. A quick, 15-minute charge gives you up to 3 hours of play time. Or plug in the included audio cable to listen for even longer in wired mode.
  • Clearer conversations : With the addition of a fourth microphone, the headphones are able to better focus on your voice. Plus, a noise-rejecting algorithm filters out environmental sounds for clearer conversations.
  • Customised control : The Bose Music app walks you through guided setup, making it easy to get started. Plus, access all noise cancellation settings, manage your Bluetooth connections, enable a shortcut and more.

    Sweet price, recently purchased the 45s with hard case for close to $300 off Woolies/MyDeal and missus has a pair of the SE (same without hard case) for $250 or so.

    Good to see prices back to the lows and they are so good if you travel for work or commute long distances.

    Nice stacking OP

    • rorypitt on 18/03/2024 - 20:07

      For me it depends on the PC.
      My work laptop has crackly bluetooth and only can use the 'QC45 Hands Free' in MS Teams
      My home laptop just connects to them as 'QC 45 Headphones' and the quality is high level.

      I have wondered if buying an external bluetooth dongle would help

        When it's asking for audio from the mic it'll switch over to HFP/hands free compared to the regular high quality mode A2DP sinc which doesn't need the bandwidth to the microphone.

        On my Linux laptop I'm able to set which mode it uses explicitly, but maybe try using teams in the web and explicitly select a different microphone source (e.g. inbuilt laptop?)

        The other thing I looked at was a wired boom mic like this one to be wired during calls to not need to rely on the inbuilt laptop mic, but apparently it wasn't amazing at blocking background noise so I now use a different wired headset for calls in a noisy environment.

      depends what you like in sound I find bose to handle base alot better.

      • Hangryuman on 18/03/2024 - 18:10

        'depends what you like in sound I find bose to handle base alot better'

        the advantage of these QC45 over earlier QC14, QC35, QC35ii which we also bought - is the QC45 has EQ allowing Bass, Mid, Treble adjustment in the free Bose Music app (which those older models don't) - not very fancy but enough to make a difference.

    • The Almighty Dollar on 18/03/2024 - 17:00

      No comparison with the Sony well ahead on comfort, sound and NC in my opinion, although they're nearly double this price so they should be.

      • guidedlight on 18/03/2024 - 17:46
        +3

        ANC is better than Sony
        Comfort is better than Sony
        Sound is worse than Sony (the Bose QC SE/45 is very bright, i.e. too much treble. The app now has an EQ adjustment, so it’s solvable. There are many EQ recommendations online).

        Overall they are equivalent, depends on your needs.

        • CrispyChrispy on 18/03/2024 - 18:24

          The sound is worse than the XM4s? Thought that wasn't possible 😆

          Jokes aside, the tuning of the XM4s is still comically bad imo. I get what they're going for but all I hear is thump thump thump and not enough detail.

    • WinnieRallycar on 18/03/2024 - 17:12

      When I purchased my Bose QC45 I cross-shopped with Sony WH-1000xm4. I liked a lot about them both, but the Sony's were unwearable. There wasn't enough depth from the ear cushions, causing the tips of my ears to compress against the hard plastic.
      If it's possible, I strongly encouraging getting into a JB HiFi that has a pair on display you can try on.

      • recession1 on 18/03/2024 - 17:24
        +1

        Yeah headphone fit is so personal. You shouldn’t buy any without trying them on first.

        I’m actually an outlier and find the QC45s uncomfortable but most seem to like them more than the Sonys.

      • Hangryuman on 18/03/2024 - 18:07
        +4

        yep - don't buy the Sony without trying them on in a shop

        my big ears rubbed on the bottom of the SONY earcups - that was excruciating on a 10-hour flight where I wore similar shallow earcups for noise-canceling - never again !

        The Bose have an angled earcup 30mm deepest where your ear would stick out the most (I measured just now from the top of the earpad) - I haven't measured the SONY but suspect it's gonna be more like 20mm - rub ma ears pain territory.

        I mappy with the Bose QC45 and wear them every day

          • WinnieRallycar on 19/03/2024 - 07:19

            @mit: I’ve also found my ears tend to get unpleasantly sweaty wearing the Bose for multiple hours. When the cushions need replacing I’m going to see about getting some that breath better.

    Thanks, grabbed a pair. Been considering a pair to take overseas/on planes, long trips, didn't want to use IEMs and my studio headphones are cabled only/quite heavy. My partner has these (from the JBHiFi deal last year slightly cheaper) and they seem decent! Super light at least, I messed with the EQ a bit and they sound 'fine' now, out of the box they sound very hallow/bright.

  • tukanglistrik on 18/03/2024 - 18:43

    • fredwu on 18/03/2024 - 19:15

      I have the QC35 II, and upgraded to the Ultra. I can't really tell the difference between the two. I actually prefer my QC35 II's controls (which is the same as the 45/SE). If I had to do it again I would've picked the SE or 45 instead of the Ultra.

    • CocaKoala on 18/03/2024 - 21:18

      I own one of these. Sound quality is pretty decent but a bit on the brighter side. NC is exceptional but I haven't tried the ultra so can't compare.

      I don't think there are any over ear headphones will hold up with frequent excessive sweat. In ears or bone conduction is the way to go. Even the in ears can go bad from sweat.

    • Orpheon on 18/03/2024 - 21:08

      I have the QC35s and they're a good fit for low intensity training, but anything cardio might get a bit stifling as the cushions are faux leather, not meant to be breathable.

  • SuperLate on 18/03/2024 - 21:40

    Please suggest this or Sennheiser momentum 4

    My use is for listening online music mostly Spotify or YouTube music. So considering the source of music, is it worth spending bit extra on Momentum ?

    °I've been using $30-40 headphone all my life.

    • CocaKoala on 18/03/2024 - 23:02
      +2

      Listen to the Bose in a jbhifi and buy it if you're happy with how is sounds. You'd get world class ANC as a bonus, which will come in handy in local public transportation, but will especially prove valuable during flights. In fact, the ANC is the #1 selling point for the Bose cans IMO.

      That said, the Bose may not pickup voice as well as the Sennheiser during phone calls and may sound somewhat less musical in comparison (nothing that you may notice going up from a $50 headphones).

      • SuperLate on 19/03/2024 - 10:16

        I'm not gonna use it for phone calls. Not sure if noise cancelling will be of any use either. My home theatre system is still wired. I want to upgrade for better audio quality. My current headphones stopped holding a charge for more than 30 minutes after a year of use, so battery life is important. As for noise cancelling only time I need that is while lawn mowing and for that I use wired earphones and don't mind continuing using them.

      • SuperLate on 29/03/2024 - 17:08

        Hi mate, so I've bought momentum 4 from OW for $375 finally. Didn't get time to use them yet and they're still in the box. And now QC45 SE are on sale at JB for $249 ($239 with perks). As you know I was already so confused between these two to start with. Is it worth spending extra $139 on momentum 4 or should I return them and get QC45 SE instead ? I also read that after some tinkering with Bose Equalizer QC45 sound about the same as momentum 4 ?

        • CocaKoala on 29/03/2024 - 23:33
          +1

          Hello. Momentum will sound somewhat more musical than the qc45 se, but it's not a leap I would personally need if I were going up from a $40 headphones. But if you need that little bit more then you keep it. If that difference is worth $139 more is questionable to me. That's even without considering the fact that you could adjust how the Bose sounds with the EQ.

          That said, once again, the Bose offers absolutely world class ANC and I can't emphasize this enough. You wouldn't know how much you needed it until you use it for a few days. Particularly useful in noisy environmenta and an absolute lifesaver on aeroplanes.

          You could also listen to the two units back to back in a JB hi-fi and decide if the sound difference is worth $139 to you personally.

          The difference in musical fidelity between the two units is a little bit (favouring the momentum), but the difference in ANC will be night and day (favouring the Bose). I would pick the Bose in your specific situation without batting an eyelid.

          • SuperLate on 30/03/2024 - 15:07

            @CocaKoala: Thanks. With that much price difference I also believe it's not worth it to buy momentum 4 and I finally bought qc45 SE from JB hi-fi and returned momentum 4. At OW they opened the box to check inside at the time of return and for a moment I got emotional looking at the brand new Senny haha ( as I always wanted one for last 10 years) . In the end, it's a good decision though as I found Sennys heavier on my head and bit bulky to carry around.Thanks for helping me decide.

    • WinnieRallycar on 19/03/2024 - 07:28
      +1

      The sound improvement from the Senny’s will be noticeable but not meaningful. The battery life’s also incredible, but ANC is better on the Bose.
      I returned my Momentum 4’s after a short while as the touch controls were infuriating and buggy. Even at the same price, much prefer the Bose

      • SuperLate on 19/03/2024 - 10:27

        I'm looking to get something for better sound but does it make much difference if I use YouTube music most of the time. I have had frustrating experience with charging my current headphones. Most of the time when I need my headphones they are out of charge. I usually charge them to use for later but they get discharged while not in use(sometimes weeks). Battery life, ease of charging and holding that charge for longer and quality of sound is my main issue.

        • CocaKoala on 19/03/2024 - 16:04
          +1

          You'll be ok with either then as they're not like cheap $40 headphones and will hold a charge much better and for longer.

          I'd just get the Bose if I were you as it's cheaper and you won't know how much you needed ANC until you use it.

          • SuperLate on 24/03/2024 - 00:43

            @CocaKoala: I went to JB to check these. Bose QC 45 was good but they didn't have any Sennheiser on demo so couldn't compare. Now that this deal has finished. I found Sennheiser HD 450BT on Amazon at $145. Thinking of buying it. Hopefully they have decent sound as many reviews vouch for it. Thank you for your time and feedback.

              @SuperLate:

              . I found Sennheiser HD 450BT on Amazon at $145

              And they're not worth even that much IMO. They're not going to be as comfortable or sound as decent as the Bose. They don't have ANC either.

              They fit very tight around the ears and could be quite uncomfortable for using long periods of time at one go (an hour or two might be ok). Granted they will sound better than pair is a $40 headphones, I'd still try them before buying.

              But then you dropped from the momentum 4 to this one and they're not on the same league. It looks like you can't quite make your mind up or even know what you want.

              • SuperLate on 25/03/2024 - 10:16

                @CocaKoala: Yeah, looks like I still can't make my mind up. Cheap prices do attract. Finally got to try HD450 and Momentum 4 in store. You're right, I didn't find them as comfortable as Bose. 450 felt more like on-ear. Both 450 and Momentum felt to be on heavier side to me. Even my $40 one feels light and comfy, may be because I'm used to it now.

  • Shiny Mew on 18/03/2024 - 23:38

      It will help a lot, you’ll still be able to hear them. The voices will sound distant and muffled. ANC tends to work better for low constant rumbling noises, which is why people love them for airplanes.

      At work, if I want to concentrate my personal reaction would be to find a quiet meeting room or WFH, rather than use ANC headphones.

        Unfortunately quiet meeting rooms or WFH are not a option :(

    A question for those who have used these headphones long enough - I know Sony headphones (e.g. WH1000XM3B) speak the battery charge level (%) when you press the start button at any time during the use. I couldn't find such a functionality in these Bose headphones.

    Is there a way to know battery level by pressing any button while having the headphones in use (rather than checking it on laptop or Bose music app)? These headphones seem to speak the battery level but only when you switch them ON. I couldn't find a way to do it again later during the use. This could be a trivial thing but I was so used to this function with my old Sony headphones.

    Expired.. disappointing. needed them

    • kacak on 20/03/2024 - 23:16

      Still showing same price, and could add to cart for me???

      • Bigburper on 20/03/2024 - 23:48

        323 for me, that's strange.

        • kacak on 20/03/2024 - 23:52

          I can see $323 from the seller "Amazon UK", are you able to switch to the Amazon AU seller which should be $238. Hope this helps.

          • Bigburper on 21/03/2024 - 00:07

            @kacak: I tried setting it to "all departments", "ship from Australia" and did a search for Bose and nothing is coming up. I have no idea what's going on.

          • Bigburper on 21/03/2024 - 16:35

            @kacak: Hi are you still able to see it for 238? Ive contacted their CS today and got absolutely nowhere. They told me the item is not not available to be shipped from Australia and were certain about it. They weren't willing to check the ozbargain link I provided them.
            This is really frustrating and bizarre.

            • kacak on 21/03/2024 - 16:40

              @Bigburper: Yes, simply clicking the link in the thumbnail of this deal itself took me to the correct $238 listing (Amazon AU) and I could add to cart etc….

              Have you tried logging in to your Amazon account, use Incognito, another device/browser (eg. phone or desktop).

              Also, try this link https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B0BDT54SGD

              Sorry I don't really know what else to suggest, but hope you manage to sort it out.

              • Bigburper on 21/03/2024 - 16:51

                @kacak: I just logged out of my account and I can now see them with a search for $238. This is just very confusing to me, Im not sure why the CS insisted they are not available. When I try to log back in it reverts back to $323 shipped from UK. Never experienced this before.

                  @Bigburper: So it turns out my postcode is not eligible. Thats pretty disappointing. Didn't know that was a thing with prime deals. Thanks for helping me figure it out.

                    @Bigburper: In that case, why don't you try to get it price matched at another store like JB Hifi or HN (show them the $238 amazon price)

                    @Bigburper: Are you in a regional area?

    • joomon on 20/03/2024 - 23:50

      Still in stock for $238.

      • Bigburper on 21/03/2024 - 00:13

        Thanks for confirming. Sorry I don't know what the problem is, I've never had this happen before. Was ten minutes too late to contact CS but will try in the morning.

    Great news - I was notified that the headphones just received an update, and to my surprise, the app now has the ability to customise more ANC modes! I was initially disappointed after purchasing that there were only the Quiet & Aware modes, but now you can customise additional modes with your own levels of noise cancellation (including none).

    Also, once you've set up the additional modes, you can cycle through them using the same ANC button on the left earcup.

    Another feature I noticed is the ability to press & hold the left button to either hear battery level or launch Spotify.

    Here's some release notes I found online:

    QuietComfort 45 firmware versions
    v4
    Released 21 March 2024
    Version 4.0.4
    Added Spotify Tap functionality that allows you to launch Spotify directly from your headphones. Enable this feature using as a Shortcut in your Bose Music app.
    Added a toggle to be able to turn multi-point on or off. This toggle is accessible via settings in the Bose Music app.
    Added the ability to create custom modes for different levels of noise cancellation that you can access from your headphones. Access Modes via the Bose Music app to create your own.
    Bug fixes and general stability improvements

      thank you.. awesome.

      I just tested the update on a windy hill right next to a freeway.
      using the new 'wind block' setting it eliminated the issue, and still had decent noise reduction.

      also, i think the standard 'quiet' mode is now less sensitive to wind.

  • smhbruh on 23/03/2024 - 19:47

    Ahh no longer available! :(

    • kacak on 23/03/2024 - 23:22
