The $329.95 QC 45s are also cheaper than the ProMax, which retails for $549.

But the new Bose headset promises to be more than just a value proposition.

The ProMax sounds terrific, but their tight fit and heavy weight hurts my head after long listening sessions.

Better Battery Life

Im most excited about the claimed 24-hour battery life of the QC45.

Ive never gotten anything like this length of battery life from other headphones I own.

The new Bose headset promises to be more than just a value proposition.

Dont expect a radical departure in the looks department with Boses latest, though.

The QC45 is almost indistinguishable from the previous model.

Theres another button on the left earcup to toggle between Modes and mute the mic during calls.

The QuietComfort 45 headphones feature just two options using a new active noise cancellation system.

Bose also offers an intriguing feature which it claims allows QC45 owners to share their noise cancellation.

If the QC45 model lives up to its hype, Id seriously consider trading in my AirPods Max.

I cant wait to give them a try when they drop on September 23.
