Bose has introduced the new QuietComfort 45 headphones in India! The QuiteComfort 45 replaces the popular QuietComfort 35 II headphones and brings in some upgrades. The headlining features include an improved noise cancellation system, a new AWARE Mode, better voice isolation for easier conversations, and 24 hour battery life on a single charge. The QuiteComfort 45 is available at all Bose exclusive stores, offline retail chains Croma, Reliance Digital and Vijay sales, and on Amazon. You will be able buy this at a price of Rs. 32,900.

The biggest upgrade to the QuietComfort headphones is the ANC system that gets a new transparency mode. Users will get two modes — QUIET and AWARE. In QUIET Mode, the ANC system will cut off all the popular ambient noises around you, especially those typically found in commuter trains, busy office spaces, and cafés. “The now famous “whoosh” associated with Bose noise cancelling technology happens in a fraction of a millisecond”, says Bose.

In the AWARE Mode, the QC45 headphones switch to full transparency, where everything can be heard again.

The design of the QC45 builds on the iconic look of the QC35 2. While it looks similar, pleats and puckers have been removed from soft materials, gaps between components have been replaced with smooth transitions. The headphones are said to be more durable, lightweight, and versatile to store in a compact carrying case, which is
