The market for headphones with active noise canceling is large and more and more manufacturers are moving into this segment. Bose came under pressure with the Quiet-Comfort series, not only from well-known manufacturers such as Sennheiser, Sony and Co.

Very good ANC; Very comfortable to wear; Noise minimization even during telephone calls; Connection with two devices possible

Bose AR is (still?) a gimmick; No cable with in-line microphone and remote control

While these aren’t the best headphones in this price range, their stylish look might be enough to sway some people

Good headphones do more than they used to. A couple of years ago, all anyone expected from their headphones was reasonably good sound quality. But these days, people are looking for noise cancelling features, wireless connectivity, voice assistant support, and a number of similar features.

When Bose launched the first QuietComfort active noise-cancelling (ANC) headphones in 2000, it changed the way consumers enjoy music outdoors, and especially on planes. The headphones were very functional, achieving noise cancellation and comfort, and were loved by frequent travellers.
