Customer Ratings & Reviews

Coming from the second gen QC45, these are a great upgrade. The battery life is significantly improved! I used to have to rechard my 45's daily to every to every other day. Once I got the Ultra 2's, the battery life it shipped with, 80%, lasted me four days! They are comfortable on my big head and the sound quality had improved quite a bit. The noise cancelling is significantly better and no weird pressure feeling! These were expensive, but worth the money. Another positive is I can be connected to my PC and Phone at the same time and I don't get the crackling I used to get with my old ones when connected to two sources.

Excellent noise suppression. I can't believe how good my Spotify and Podcasts sound. Will be a MAJOR improvement on my international plane flights this year. The ear pieces fit comfortably over my ears and are extremely comfortable. Love the upgraded battery life.

The Bose headset looks sleek and stylish, and the sound quality is excellent. What really stands out is the noise cancellation—it works incredibly well and makes a huge difference, especially in busy or loud environments. Overall, it’s comfortable, great-sounding, and well worth it.

Excellent purchase. Great fit and sound quality. They are lightweight love the color. Long lasting charge.

Main reason I purchased these headphones was because of noise cancellation. They are fantastic so far and the battery life is great I’ve used them for about 3-4 hrs a day and haven’t needed to recharge in 3 days and still have 70% battery life left. They are lightweight compared to other brands and very easy to use. Very happy with this purchase and would recommend.

A lightweight, comfortable headphone with great mid range and active noise cancellation that rivals other premium headphones. The 2nd gen ultra comfort truly is an upgrade compared to the 1st gen in terms of battery, software and better balanced mid range sound. In terms of comfort, it is the same, if not more softer to wear compared to the previous gen. Highly recommend this product if you wear glasses, as the clamp downs aren’t tight like the Sony XM06 or other brands.

Very light and comfortable however it may be loose on smaller heads. Overall good headphones with good mids and bass

I may have a biased review because I've been a fan of BOSE for a very long time. Once again, Bose delivered with the QC Ultra 2. Sound quality is excellent, fit and comfort are great, noise cancelling is excellent. Battery life has been excellent so far and I have no issues. I'm very happy with my purchase.

Good headphones with amazing sound quality. The color is gorgeous. The battery also last me all day, and when I say all day I mean it. Those Sunday cleaning days are no joke and these come in handy for those days.

Amazing comfort, class-leading noise cancellation, and rich, balanced sound. Spatial audio makes movies and music feel more immersive without sounding fake. Battery life is solid and you can wear these for hours with zero fatigue. If you want premium ANC headphones that simply deliver — these are worth every dollar.

Overall: The Bose QuietComfort Ultra Gen 2 headphones are a strong contender for anyone looking for top-tier active noise cancellation and comfortable, immersive listening. They’re a great option for frequent travelers or folks who want to drown out office noise. These are definitely geared toward people who don’t mind spending a bit more to enjoy a premium audio experience. They’re not ideal for gym use, though, since they don’t have a rating for sweat or water resistance. They also lack wireless charging, which a lot of other headphones include at this price point. Sound Quality: The QuietComfort Ultra Gen 2 delivers crisp, detailed audio with deep bass and clean highs. The sound signature is classic Bose: warm and balanced with a boosted low end, making them great for music, movies, or just about anything else. While a little flatter than some other headphones, you’re not going to get studio-reference sound here. USB-C lossless audio is a standout feature, offering higher fidelity than standard Bluetooth codecs. These are best paired with a streaming service that supports lossless audio, since compressed tracks won’t really show off what this headset can do. That said, the in-app EQ is super basic, and there’s no way to deeply customize the sound profile. For most users, Bose’s tuning will be more than fine, but those who like to tweak every frequency might be left wanting more. Active Noise Cancellation: This is where Bose blows most other headphones out of the water. The ANC is incredibly effective, easily muting road noise, office chatter, and of course, plane engines. Bose’s CustomTune tech adapts ANC to your ears every time you wear them, and it works brilliantly. If ANC is your top priority, these won’t disappoint. I promise. Other Sound Features: Along with ANC, you get a BeAware mode, which lets sound in so you can hear your surroundings if needed. The amount of noise cancellation is also adjustable, which is a nice touch. Immersive mode is another cool feature. Geared more toward movie content than music, it lets the sound follow your head movements. It’s basically 3D audio that shifts with your position. There are two modes: one for sitting and one for standing. Give them a shot. I found it pretty cool, but since I mostly listen to music, I kept it off for the most part. Bose also includes a new Cinema mode, which blends immersive audio with noise cancellation to really pull you into whatever you’re watching. It’s a fun feature for video content, and I recommend trying it out. Just keep in mind it drains the battery a bit faster. Connectivity: The headphones support Bluetooth 5.4, USB-C audio, and a 2.5mm analog cable. I had no issues pairing them with my iPhone. Plenty of audio codecs are supported, including SBC, AAC, and aptX, plus the lossless version of aptX. Long story short, these are going to sound great on basically any device you pair them with. And if you want the ultimate sound quality, you can always wire them in via USB-C for lossless audio. Comfort: The QuietComfort Ultra Gen 2 are comfortable, but not quite as comfortable as some of the previous Bose models I’ve owned. Maybe they’re still breaking in, but I’m hoping they get a bit more forgiving over time. I have a large head, and the clamping force feels a little strong right now. I also have to extend them to the largest setting to fit properly, but that’s true for most headphones I own. Battery Life: Battery life is good, but not great. You’ll get 30 hours with ANC off and 24 hours with ANC on. That’s more than enough for long flights or workdays, but it falls short compared to some other comparable headphones. There’s also an auto-shutoff feature that’s worked flawlessly whenever I take them off, and a low-power mode that helps preserve battery when not in use. Sadly, wireless charging isn’t supported, but USB-C fast charging is included. Design: The design is classy and modern, with polished metal accents and a dark black finish. The build is mostly plastic with some metal, which keeps the weight down without feeling cheap. The included faux-leather carrying case is a nice touch and stores the headphones securely. Pros: Industry-leading ANC Crisp Bose sound Quality build USB-C lossless audio Classy and modern design Comes with carrying case and cables Cons: Expensive Limited EQ customization No wireless charging No IP rating for water or sweat resistance

Nice headphones works great for canceling noise besides working as headphones. Soft, compact, comfortable, great sound. Perfect for shutting out the outside world or listening to music without disturbing others. Works great with my I-phone & iPad too. I love the color. Battery lasts a long time & its easy to recharge.

Very comfortable on my ears. Love the sound quality of left and right during song playback. Also battery life is awesome. I would highly recommend this headset to music lovers of all ages.

noise cancellation definitely works. sand color looks amazing , bass is good but not too punchy. once u pair, it tells u to download the app to adjust sound settings which is nice and helpful. strap that goes over head is very comfortable

The Bose QuietComfort Ultra (2nd Gen) takes everything great about the QC line and turns it up a notch. The CustomTune and Immersive Audio modes create a true 3D soundstage that feels natural, not gimmicky. Active noise cancellation is still industry-leading, but now transitions more smoothly with adjustable aware levels. The Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity is rock-solid , instant pairing and multipoint support work flawlessly between my phone and laptop. Battery life averages around 24 hours per charge, and a quick 15-minute top-up gives several hours of playback. The touch and physical control combo is intuitive, and the redesign feels lighter yet sturdier. For audiophiles and everyday listeners alike, the QC Ultra 2nd Gen delivers a premium experience with class-leading comfort and sound accuracy. Bose once again sets the bar for wireless noise-cancelling headphones.

Excellent Bose Earphones - these are used for meditation, specifically Joe Dispenza. They hold charge cery well, they are easy to charge. With earrings they are uncomfortable, on my last international flight with them, i ended up removing earrings because i had these on too long. I love the storage on these. I wish they had more base but they are great for travel and my early morning medtations.

These headphones are such a sleek and comfortable set. From the moment I put them on, the comfort stood out. The earcups are soft, lightweight, and somehow manage to feel secure without any pressure. I’ve worn them through long flights, daily at my desk and even on the couch listening to podcasts and music and they never felt fatiguing. Bose has always been known for comfort, but these take it up a notch. The sound quality is just as impressive. Music feels rich and detailed. The bass is tight without being overwhelming, vocals are crisp, and everything comes through with a clarity that makes you want to revisit your favorite tracks. These new headphones also have improved spatial audio support and upgraded noise cancellation, and you get an experience that feels more immersive than ever, whether it was music or movies, I loved all of it. Pairing is seamless, battery life easily holds up to long days, and the build feels premium without being flashy. I loved how the headphones auto pair whenever you take them out of the case, the ease of use and their overall comfort is perfect for flights and travel or just at my desk in my day to day. I cannot recommend these headphones enough, better sound, better comfort, and an overall more refined experience than the first gen. I received the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones to try from Best Buy. Pros: • Extremely comfortable for long wear • Brilliant sound with clear highs and deep bass • Top-tier noise cancellation and spatial audio • Premium build and easy Bluetooth connection Cons: • Pricey, but you can feel where the money goes

Excellent sound and crisp reproduction of music. Very adaptable to different head widths. This new model is also lighter than the past models. Battery wise, very long hours of continuos use.

Overall product is well built, it's biggest advantage against competitors like Sony xm6 is it's simply more comfortable. On top of having a bit more appealing designs. Compared to the previous generation not much a difference only added mode in the app.

My review with the qc ultra 2 .comfort 5/5 the padding on the earcups and headband very comfortable sound quality 5/5 very good for my type of music Connectivity 2/5 below average the headphones are sometimes very easy to connect but some times it takes 5 minutes to connect battery life good enough battery for me. But i would recommend to a friend
