Bose updates its QC 45 and adds a much-requested feature

Admittedly a bit lazy but no less successful update of its old QC 35, the Bose QC 45 headphones
remains an excellent Bluetooth model with active noise reduction. However, a little less upscale than the headphones 700
the QC 45 does not benefit from the same functions on the dedicated application.

Without proposing an ergonomic revolution, the latest product update will however partially correct this.

Customizing the sound is finally (a minimum) possible

Until now, the QC 45 did not benefit from graphic equalization like its big brother. So this function has finally been implemented in the latest version of the Bluetooth headset firmware.

Although very far from being as precise as what we find on the Shure Play application for example, it consists of a graphic equalizer with three frequency bands (which is really the minimum). It is thus possible to adjust the bass, midrange and treble, by 10 notches up or down. Many users will, for example, opt for an emphasis on the bass and a slight reduction in the treble, frequencies that are a little acidic on these headphones.

Four predefined equalizers are already present: Bass boost, Bass reducer, Treble Boost (boost in the treble) and Treble Reducer. In
however, no profile record appears to exist. Once a setting is found, it is impossible to keep it in memory by creating a custom equalizer. Of course, this graphic equalizer does not work when the headphones are in passive mode (off and wired).

Nothing transcendent therefore, but a little more always to take.
