Detachable cables are cables that have connectors on both ends.
One end goes into your headphone earpieces, while the other end is inserted into a source device. Some new headphones, and not just the expensive ones, are coming with detachable cables, Bose QuietComfort Headphones are one of those. With a detachable cable, Anker Soundcore Space Q45 too can use alternative cables and if the cable is pulled, it will pop out instead of breaking.
Twisted headphone cables can be a great source of annoyance and inconvenience, Bose QuietComfort Headphones's cable is designed to minimize tangling. Constant twisting of the cables can also lead to microfractures in the copper wires, affecting sound quality, or
completely damaging your headphones. Anker Soundcore Space Q45 too have a cable designed to help prevent tangles.

Anker Soundcore Space Q45 with this design offer potential for maximum bass and loudness levels.
Bose QuietComfort Headphones have stereo speakers, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from separate channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience. Both Anker Soundcore Space Q45 and Bose QuietComfort Headphones have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation uses more advanced technology to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and then inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out.
In simple terms, it's like taking +1 outside (noise from your surrounding) and adding -1 inside (counter sound within the device) to make 0 resulting in a reduced level of noise.
Bose QuietComfort Headphones allow you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the volume to overcome background noise. Anker Soundcore Space Q45 too have active noise cancellation making both devices ideal for plane rides and morning commutes.
Each may work with different noise cancellation modes, pick the setting, mode, or noise cancellation type that you prefer for commute or that enhances your relaxation time. Passive Noise Cancellation uses well-designed ear cups to seal out environment noise. This is used for both in-ear earphones and over-ear headphones where the headphone itself will keep surrounding noise out.
The Bose QuietComfort Headphones sits tightly in place, creating an acoustic seal that reduces background noise and prevents your music from leaking out. Both of these devices have passive noise reduction which means that also the Anker Soundcore Space Q45 isolates you from ambient noise instead of actively using technology to cancel it out. Low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio component reproduces low audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on the way through.
Bose QuietComfort Headphones's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, the lower the low-frequency response, the stronger and juicier the bass. Anker Soundcore Space Q45's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices produce equal bass
High frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component reproduces high audible frequencies and if it changes to the signal on the way through. Bose QuietComfort Headphones's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, the higher the high-frequency response, the clearer and crispier the treble.
Anker Soundcore Space Q45's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, this implies that
Anker Soundcore Space Q45 got a clearer and crispier treble than the Bose QuietComfort Headphones
The driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device, its size dictates the loudness of the headphone. Bose QuietComfort Headphones driver unit is 40mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful and can produce better bass. Anker Soundcore Space Q45 driver unit is 40mm in diameter,
making both Anker Soundcore Space Q45, and Bose QuietComfort Headphones similar in how loud their sound gets
, as many tend to believe that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers usually have difficulty reproducing high frequencies so yeah, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not mean that they deliver better sound. If your headphones play wirelessly, cancel ambient noise, or enhance your listening experience with active features, their battery life will reduce over time. The device's battery life is given by the manufacturer, with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often.
Bose QuietComfort Headphones's battery life is 24 hours
Anker Soundcore Space Q45's battery life is 40 hours. Each time you recharge your headphones, they get a little less listening time. The effect is barely noticeable at first.
But over a few years, you may find that your device, no longer plays for long like it used to. It takes 2.5 hours to fully charge the Bose QuietComfort Headphones's battery. It is recommended to fully charge the battery before using the headphones for the first time or when they have been unused for extended periods.
Anker Soundcore Space Q45 takes 2 hours to fully charge the battery
Bose QuietComfort Headphones have a battery level indicator, an indicator shows you when the device has a low battery. The battery indicator lights indicate the charging status of your headphones.
