The Bose QuietComfort Headphones Blue Dusk are the 2023 QuietComfort over-ear headphones in a muted, greyish blue that Bose calls Blue Dusk. It is a colour with character but no shine: darker than sky blue, softer than navy, and easy to wear with denim, white shirts or a grey suit. Underneath, they are the same headphones as every QuietComfort colour: Bose noise cancelling with Quiet and Aware modes, Wind Block for breezy days, up to 24 hours of battery and a connection to two devices at once.

A blue for people who want something other than black
Most headphones on a plane or a metro carriage are black. The QuietComfort Headphones Blue Dusk stand out without shouting, which is why it appeals to students, creatives and anyone who treats headphones as part of their outfit. The muted tone matches denim, navy and grey clothing and a blue or grey phone case. It hides everyday marks better than white or sandstone, though a little less than black, and the cushions are worth a wipe with a dry cloth every week or two. The QuietComfort Headphones Blue Dusk are also easy to spot among a pile of black travel gear.
Wind Block for outdoor walks
Wind is the weak point of most noise cancelling headphones outdoors. Bose lets you add Wind Block to any mode on the QuietComfort Headphones Blue Dusk; according to Bose, it mutes the microphone so wind does not spoil your calls. That makes a call during an evening walk by the beach, a ride to the Metro station or a rooftop break more usable, though no headphones remove wind entirely. The multi-function button also calls up your phone’s voice assistant, such as Siri.
Building your own listening modes
Quiet Mode gives full noise cancellation and Aware Mode lets outside sound through. In the Bose app you can create Custom Modes with your own cancellation level, then switch between them with the button on the earcup. A student might keep one mode for the library and a lighter one for walking between buildings. The app also sets the EQ automatically or lets you adjust it by hand, and keeps the QuietComfort Headphones Blue Dusk up to date with Bose software updates.
Battery, cable and connection
Bose rates the battery at up to 24 hours and lists 15 minutes of charging as up to 2.5 hours of playback in its comparison table; a full charge over USB-C takes about 2 to 2.5 hours. The box holds a carry case, a 3.5 mm to 2.5 mm audio cable for wired listening on planes, and a 30 cm USB-A to USB-C cable, but no wall charger. Multipoint keeps the QuietComfort Headphones Blue Dusk connected to two devices at once, with a range of up to 9 metres.
Size and comfort
Bose lists the QuietComfort Headphones Blue Dusk at 0.520 lb, about 236 g, and 7.68 × 6.18 × 3.15 inches. That light weight is what makes long flights and full workdays comfortable, and the cushioned earcups sit over the ear rather than pressing on it. The carry case protects them in a backpack. Note that Bose’s own store currently shows a limited set of colours, so Blue Dusk is now mainly available from retailers rather than bose.com.
Who This Is Not For
The QuietComfort Headphones Blue Dusk are not for sport or the gym, because Bose does not publish a water resistance rating. They lack the immersive audio of the QuietComfort Ultra line, and Bose does not list aptX or other high-resolution codecs on the product page. The wired cable needs a 2.5 mm plug on the headphone side, and no wall charger is included. If you want the most discreet look possible, black hides wear better.
