The Bose QuietComfort White Smoke is the 2023 QuietComfort over-ear headphone in Bose’s soft off-white, a white with a faint grey cast rather than a bright, glossy white. It looks clean and minimal next to a white laptop or phone and is the finish most often picked by people who travel light and like matching accessories. Inside, it is the full QuietComfort set: active noise cancelling, Quiet and Aware modes, custom modes with Wind Block, a three-band equaliser in the Bose app, two devices connected at once and up to 24 hours of battery.

The White Smoke finish up close
White Smoke is a muted, slightly smoky white that keeps the headphones looking light without the plastic shine of pure white. It suits minimal setups, white and silver devices, and summer clothing. Like any light finish it needs some care: the cushions and the inside of the headband show skin oils and denim dye first, so wipe the Bose QuietComfort White Smoke with a soft damp cloth regularly and store it in its carry case rather than loose in a bag. Choose it if you like a clean look and do not mind a little upkeep; choose Black if you want zero maintenance.
On a plane
Long flights are where QuietComfort headphones earn their name. Quiet Mode applies full noise cancelling against engine drone, and up to 24 hours of battery, as rated by Bose, covers long-haul trips with a connection. When the in-flight screen is the source, the included 3.5 mm to 2.5 mm audio cable lets you listen wired. The headphones fold into the carry case, so the Bose QuietComfort White Smoke travels protected and stays clean between trips.
Calls, voice assistants and Wind Block
For calls Bose uses an adaptive microphone system, and the Bose QuietComfort White Smoke works with voice assistants and with VoIP apps such as Zoom or FaceTime. Wind Block can be added to any mode to keep wind noise out of your voice when you take a call outside. The multi-function button on the right earcup answers and ends calls, and Aware Mode lets you hear yourself and the room naturally during a conversation. Note that the included cable is a listening cable; Bose sells a cable with an in-line microphone separately.
Two devices and the Bose app
Multipoint keeps two source devices connected at the same time, so a laptop meeting and a phone call can share the Bose QuietComfort White Smoke. Bose quotes a wireless range of up to 9 metres. In the Bose app you set custom modes with your preferred level of cancellation, adjust bass, mid-range and treble independently, and update firmware. If you never open the equaliser, the sound adjusts automatically.
The rest, in brief
Bose lists the weight at 0.52 lb, about 236 g, with protein leather on the headband and removable cushions. A full charge takes about 2.5 hours according to Bose’s specification table, over USB-C with the short USB-A to USB-C cable in the box; a wall adapter is not included. The Bose QuietComfort White Smoke also pairs with Bose smart soundbars through SimpleSync.
Who This Is Not For
The Bose QuietComfort White Smoke is not for anyone who wants headphones that never need cleaning; the off-white shows marks sooner than Black. It has no spatial or immersive audio, which is a QuietComfort Ultra feature. Bose does not publish a water or sweat rating, nor the Bluetooth version or codecs on its product page, so gym users and aptX or LDAC shoppers should look elsewhere. The included wired cable has no microphone, protein leather warms up in hot rooms, and no wall charger is included.
