+
+The QuietComfort SE offers decent noise cancellation and sound quality for the price.
+
+The loose swivel on the earcups, while annoying, doesn't impact their comfort or durability.
+
+The 2.5mm end on the included cable means you may have a harder time searching for a replacement if it ever breaks.
+

+
+After losing my precious Bose QuietComfort 45 headphones, I needed a pair of headphones to replace them pretty urgently.
+
+I use noise cancelling headphones when I'm out or if I want to relax.
+
+I opted to get the soft case (SC) variant as it was a little cheaper than the hard case version and I already had the hard case from my previous pair.
+
+## What's in the box?
+- A soft case to protect the headphones
+- An audio cable with an in-line microphone, a new addition not seen in the QC 45's
+- A short USB-C charging cable

+
+## Quality
+
+The outer shell of the headphones is exactly the same as the QC 45's, though the plastic is now matte instead of glossy. A welcome change in my opinion.
+
+My only gripe is the loose swivel on the earcups. It can be pretty tricky to put the headphones in their soft case sometimes.

+
+Setting up the headphones was as straightforward. After switching them on, pair them via Bluetooth on your device and voilà!
+
+The headphones have pretty strong bass while managing to mantain decent clarity in the high-end.
+
+## Features
+
+The headphones have the playback controls and charging port on the right earcup and a customisable action on the left.
+
+With the Bose app, you can
+- Create custom modes with different levels of noise cancelling
+- Customise EQ settings to your liking
+- Manage paired devices
+- Change what the action button does
+
+## Overall opinion
+
+Despite the strange pricing, the headphones offer great noise cancelling, good durability and good sound quality.
+
+My previous pair of QC 45's lasted just over two years, with an earpad replacement towards the end. Let's hope these last just as long, if not longer.
