Bose QuietComfort Headphones - Sandstone

Product Description:

The Bose QuietComfort Headphones in Sandstone combine Bose’s signature active noise cancellation, high-fidelity audio, customizable listening modes, adjustable EQ, Bluetooth multipoint connectivity, wired listening, and up to 24 hours of battery life in a warm neutral finish. The Sandstone model uses Bose’s classic QuietComfort chassis rather than the redesigned QuietComfort Headphones (2nd Gen), pairing the familiar lightweight, foldable over-ear design with a soft taupe/beige color treatment suited to buyers who prefer a more understated alternative to Black or brighter limited-edition colors. Bose currently lists Sandstone as an official QuietComfort color.

Bose’s hybrid active and passive noise-cancelling system is designed to reduce surrounding distractions during flights, commuting, office work, studying, and everyday listening. Quiet Mode provides maximum noise cancellation, while Aware Mode allows environmental sound through when situational awareness is important. Users can also create customized listening modes through the Bose app and enable Wind Block when outdoor conditions call for additional wind-noise reduction.

Sound can be personalized with adjustable EQ, providing independent control over bass, midrange, and treble. This allows listeners to increase low-end impact for bass-heavy music, bring vocals forward, or brighten the overall presentation depending on the content and personal preference. The headphones are designed for music, podcasts, movies, calls, and general everyday listening rather than locking users into a single factory sound profile.

Battery life reaches up to 24 hours per full charge, providing enough endurance for full workdays, long flights, road trips, and multiple commuting sessions. If the battery is low, a 15-minute USB-C quick charge provides up to approximately 2.5 hours of additional playback, making it possible to recover several hours of listening from a short charging session.

For wired listening, Bose includes a 2.5mm-to-3.5mm audio cable with an in-line microphone. The analog connection allows the headphones to work with airline entertainment systems, computers, portable audio players, and other devices where Bluetooth may be unavailable or undesirable. The headphones can continue reproducing wired audio even when their rechargeable battery is depleted, although active features require battery power.

Bluetooth multipoint makes the QuietComfort Headphones especially convenient for users who regularly move between devices. The headphones can stay associated with multiple compatible sources and switch between them without forcing the user to manually disconnect and completely re-pair each time. That makes it easy to listen from a laptop while remaining available for calls or media from a smartphone.

Comfort remains one of the strongest reasons to choose the QuietComfort platform. Plush over-ear cushions surround the ears rather than pressing directly against them, while the padded adjustable headband distributes pressure across the top of the head. Bose designed the system for extended wear during travel, work, studying, and other situations where headphones may remain on for hours at a time.

The Sandstone finish gives the headphones a muted warm-grey/taupe appearance that sits between traditional silver and beige. Bose maintains a dedicated Sandstone collection and officially offers the QuietComfort Headphones in this color, confirming that Sandstone is a manufacturer colorway rather than simply a retailer-specific nickname.
