How we chose the best Bose headphones for this guide
Bose is a well-known name in the audio world for a good reason, delivering great sound quality, up-to-the-minute technology and comfortable designs. They also have high-rated noise-canceling tech and this all lands for greater value than many of the other big-name brands. Our comparison reflects the market-leading quality Bose has hung onto, with all of the top picks – in our expert opinion – deserving a place in (or on) your ears.
There are, of course, some criteria that separate the entries on this list, from design to tech. For example, if you want a pair of true wireless earbuds for convenience while you're commuting or out for a run, then Bose offers some great options. On the other hand, over-ear headphones might be best for audiophiles who will use them to get the most out of their music. There's also smart technology, with voice assistant integrations from Google and Alexa, on offer.
Battery life, price, comfort, and audio quality are all things we look at in our selection process, which involves testing and reviewing each entry for a significant period of weeks or months to determine how well they hold up to the brand's promises and users' expectations.
