Bose QuietComfort 45 noise-canceling headphones for $280 ($330)

Bose's QuietComfort 45 is the most comfortable pair of noise-canceling headphones we've tried. They also do a commendable job in keeping out sound. Apple's more expensive AirPods Max may have the best noise-cancelation in their class, but if comfort is of utmost importance, then the QC 45s are worth a look. They fit larger ears better and have a more neutral sound signature, but they lack an EQ tool to make adjustments. The QC 45 is also outfitted with more reliable physical playback buttons compared to touch controls commonly found on other headphones in this class. A full charge gets you about 20 hours of listening time, which should be plenty for most any trip.
