Great color, comfort and sound.
2nd pair of these great headphones! Love the Midnight Violet color. The sound is world class and the noise cancelling is top notch. The clamp force barely noticeable and it’s so comfortable to wear for hours. Charges fast and comes with matching case and accessories.

Everyone knows, for quality it's BOSE!!!!
As a headphone enthusiast for over 6 decades now and the owner of multiple brands of wireless and wired 'phones, I was very eager try out the new Bose QC Ultra 2 headphones. I still own (bought at Best Buy!) the original Bose Ultra QC45 'phones as well as Sennheiser's Momentum 3 and 4 'phones, again purchased by myself at Best Buy) as well as Skullcandy's Crusher ANC headphones along with Sony's latest version of their excellent WH-1000XM6. I am also a longtime member of the Head-Fi online community. I say this to show that I am somewhat serious about listening to music via headphones and own a variety of them for personal use. I tend not to fixate on anything too "audiophile" if you will. I like music and never listen in what some term a "critical" manner. I listen to the music, not the equipment. Having said that the Bose QC Ultra 2 'phones are equipped with features that provide choices in how one hears their music and accordingly, how it is aurally perceived by your ears and mind. Within the Bose Application you download to your Android phone or tablet or iPhone/iPad there are 5 main modes you can choose from. Quiet. Immersion. Cinema. Music. Aware. Depending upon what I am listening to I tend toward "Immersion" for Classical Music and "Music" for Traditional Jazz with the former being quite a dramatic expansion of the soundstage created within my mind. Of course all of this is subjective in value but it is a vital part of any review and as such I present it as a part of my listening experience. I would say that "Immersion" is a favorite because it is so different and dramatically so! It is vastly superior from my perspective to the "Background" mode on the excellent Sony WH-M6 'phones and I prefer it to using the "Motion" setting that creates an even greater sense of location via detecting the listener's head movements. Simply amazing and while I may one day tire of using it, at the moment I am still finding it quite engaging! I having been using the Bose QC Ultra 2 for several days now for about 1 to 3 hours at a time with noise cancellation engaged and I still have a battery level (as I am listening now!) at 70%. These phones should easily make it (if ever I go!) on a trip from California to Australia! Bose is often acclaimed to be the Master of ANC (Adaptive Noise Cancellation) and this newest version of their top of the line headphones regains that crown from the Sony WH-M6 and believe me, that is no small accomplishment because the Sony's are (still) superb in their own right. But...This is what competition does, it improves the breed and we all benefit from this. The Bose QC Ultra 2 are in my estimation the best at subjectively reducing ambient noise for the purpose of making my time with my music, be it at home, on a walk around my neighborhood or even on a plane, better. And by "better" I mean a LOT better. The QC 2 Ultras easily silenced a loud fan in my garage gym and a back to back comparison with the excellent Sony WH-M6 in my Diesel truck test proved the Bose to be a bit better than the Sony's in that regard. Nothing to date has entirely eliminated the clatter of my truck's engine and both of those headphones easily surpass my older Sennheisers and the original Bose QC45 efforts with the Bose QC Ultra 2 being the best yet. Is this subjective? Yup. It is my experience and viewpoint based upon my real world listening and I have no problem with stating that as it is fact. You can easily adjust the degree of noise cancellation to your taste/needs via a sliding "bar" in the Bose Application. Speaking of better, the build quality of the Bose is outstanding and equal to or even a touch superior to any of the aforementioned brands that I own and personally use. My original Bose Ultra QC45s are a few years old now and with proper care, still look and perform as when they were new! I have a pair of 40 year old Bose 901 Direct/Reflecting speakers and they too look and work as new. Bose does not make junk. In truth none of the manufacturers whose products I own (some of which I have made mention of in this review!) make anything but a quality, long lasting product but I am addressing the quality and craftsmanship of Bose not only in the case of the QC Ultra 2 headphones but also in a lifetime of use over decades as in the case of their 901 loudspeakers. As a retired Electronics Technician I can honestly say that if you take good care of your equipment it can last for many years of use and I think the new Bose QC Ultra 2 is going do just that. Everyone knows for quality it's Bose. Enjoy the soundtrack of your life while muting the background! Highly recommended? Indeed!!
