Not sure what "B" means, probably bluetooth? I checked the model number in the description and it matches the one in Bestbuy.

Would this be a considerable upgrade from the QC 35?

QC 45 Improvements over QC 35
- Better EQ - better sound quality
- Better noise cancellation (some say it's close, others say it's noticeable - maybe negligible)
- 24 hours (vs 20 hour) battery life
- Bluetooth 5.1 (vs Bluetooth 4.1)
- Mostly metal construction (hinges) vs plastic QC35
- USB-C vs Micro-USB
- Nearly the same weight - 8.5 ounces (vs 8.2 ounces)
- Comfort is as good or better (according to reviews)
- Better microphones for phone calls
- Better "ambient" mode to listen to music without complete noise cancellation

Are these features worth $100 more than the QC35II recent sale prices ($180) - I'd say so.

Thank you very much, looking at everything it looks to be a pretty nice upgrade.

i just bought these from amazon two days back, my main purpose is to use it with Teams and zoom calls
it wont connect to your pc for sure windows 10, the only way i made it by using a stupid $70 bose bluetooth adapter to my pc.
but once it gets connected it was nice and peaceful for calls, but people were only able hear me properly when i switch to quiet mode ,in comfort mode i need to shout or speak loud.
i connected to two different devices my pc and my iphone,it was switching fast between devices, but when i am still on my teams call if i get any call on my phone its switching to my iphone,this is something useless i felt
i forgot to mention the main reason to go with bose was for noise canceling due to infant cry in my home , i heard bose had best noise canceling, i even tried microsoft surface 2 headphones and returned it back, they are too heavy and bulky, saw good reviews on jabra but i dont think their earpads will be comfy for me.
but if you are looking to connect to your pc you definitely need a bose bluetooth adapter for smooth connect.
i use airpods pro for my phone, but i bet 100% that bose is not as fast as airpods in connecting to your iphone, most of the time i need to manually connect to my iphone by going to bluetooth settings, don't expect a fast connection like airpods to iphone.

no problem - having owned a QC35II myself i was excited to see what Bose would have in store for it's next iteration

the regular price is a bit much over $300 but $280 seems fairly reasonable and comparable to the XM4, it's only real competitor in this market of ANC headphones - and to me the QC series are FAR more comfortable than either the XM3/XM4 or even the Airpods Max.

Ive stopped using over the set headphones all together and rotate between Airpods 3rd Gen and Airpods Pro since i mainly use them for watching TV.

Once you experience spatial audio while watching a movie/tv show with Dolby Atmos sound it's hard to go back - unless you have a serious sound system set up.

For regular music i use a USB-C DAC and a pair of HD58x if i want to get the full experience of listening to lossless / HQ music tracks

Yeah hit it right on the nail, I was in between the XM4 or rebuying the QC35 because I didn't even know these came out. My old QC35 was such a good investment but now they are so old they don't hold the battery as much as they did and I had to replace the pads twice. I've never tried the spatial audio so I might just try them and see if that and convenience is worth the sacrifice of best noise cancellation

Depending on your use case, the Airpods Gen 3 / Pro may not be the best choice.

They only get about 4.5-5 hours of battery life per charge (althought they recharge quickly) vs the QC35II at 20 hours.

However if you are using headphones to watch TV via Apple TV 4k / Macbook / iPad the spatial audio can't be beat.

For general use listening and longer listening times - the QC series may be best.

Ive shied away from over the ear headphones (esp those with noise cancellation) bc of ear fatigue, after a while you soemtimes dont even notice you have the Airpods in your ears (The pro you definitely notice - again bc of the noise cancellation and the silicon tips which create a seal).

If you are on the fence you could always grab a set of the gen 2 for $90 to give them a go and return them within most retailers extended holiday return period

Re: battery - Try a cheaper 25 if you don't mind wired or a separate BT connection.

I have the QC25, and was thinking of upgrading to the QC35 or maybe even these. It's just so hard to get away from them even though they are wired haha.
