Bose QuietComfort 45 Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones, Comfortable Fit, 24H Battery Life, Midnight Blue

Bose launched the QuietComfort 45 in only Black and White, and Midnight Blue arrived afterwards as a limited addition to the range. Bose QuietComfort 45 Midnight Blue is the colour most likely to be hard to restock once current inventory clears, which matters if the shade is part of why you want this pair.

QuietComfort 45 Midnight Blue: A Colour Added After Launch

The original September 2021 release came in Black and White Smoke only. Midnight Blue followed as a limited-edition finish, alongside Eclipse Gray, expanding the range once the launch pair had established itself. Being a later, more limited addition, it typically sees smaller production runs than the two core colours.

Bose has since replaced the QC45 with the 2023 QuietComfort Headphones, so remaining Midnight Blue stock represents genuine, unused hardware rather than an ongoing production line — something worth knowing if the specific shade matters to you.

Bose QuietComfort 45 Midnight Blue: What Two Modes Cover

Quiet Mode and Aware Mode are the only two settings, toggled directly on the earcup with no app required for basic operation. Quiet applies full cancellation; Aware opens the microphones for conversation and announcements. There is no adjustable slider between them, which is the main functional gap versus the newer QuietComfort Headphones.

For the vast majority of daily use — flights, commutes, open offices — the binary choice is sufficient, and it keeps the control scheme simple.

QuietComfort 45 Midnight Blue: Four Microphones for Calls

Bose added a fourth onboard microphone specifically for this generation, improving voice pickup during calls over the previous QC35 II. Combined with TriPort acoustic architecture for bass response, the QC45 balances call clarity and music quality more evenly than earlier Bose over-ears managed.

QuietComfort 45 Midnight Blue: Who Midnight Blue Suits

Midnight Blue is a deep, muted navy that reads close to black in low light and clearly blue in daylight — distinctive without being loud. It suits anyone who wants to move away from an all-black setup without committing to a pale or bright finish.

Being a dark tone, it hides everyday marks about as well as black, and is a reasonable middle ground for anyone who wants identifiable headphones in a shared space without sacrificing a low-maintenance finish.

QuietComfort 45 Midnight Blue: Why This Generation Still Matters

The QC45 remains one of the most comfortable headphones in its class years after launch, and 24-hour battery life still competes with current models. If adjustable cancellation levels and Wind Block are not priorities, there is little practical reason to pay for the newer QuietComfort Headphones instead.
