Customer Ratings & Reviews

These live up to the hype for me. I personally very much enjoy the sound stage. Phone call quality is amazingly good. As Flossy Carter would say the noise canceling is God level good!

Great headphone with great sound. Nothing else beats it in my opinion. It’ll be money worth spending. Don’t hesitate just buy it and dive deep into the irresistible bose sound

ANC is unmatched and puts Sony to shame. The sound quality is superb and comfort is the absolute best. Build quality is solid and the case has such a small footprint.

Love this head phone color, which is my favorite, enjoyed using it when im walking or riding my peloton bike. It keeps the noise out from outside. Love this product

Preface: I LOVE Bose sound quality and have been using their headphones for over 10 years, however, the QC Ultra Gen2 headphones have the same issue as Gen1: Bose expects you to just take them off your head and let them auto disconnect from your devices, but this auto disconnect doesn't consistently work. Many times the headphones stay connected and audio plays through the headphones even when they aren't on your ears. Very annoying. Like the Gen1, I returned the Gen2 and say with my Sony MX5 until Bose changes this behavior.

Great anc and sound. In my experience, it blocks out more noise than the Sony XM6. Battery life is great and comfort is unmatched.

I loved it a lot thank you Best Buy so much I will now enjoy these headphones

This is a big upgrade from a prior one I had. Major updates make it great

Noice Cancellation - 5/5 Sound quality - 4/5 Build quality - 3/5 (we can think of metal build in this price range)

very good noise canceling and a very tight fit does show fingerprints

I've been a longtime owner of Bose QC35 headphones. While I've had several headphones since then, I keep coming back to the QC35 headphones for ease of use and steady performance. One of the things I just kind of lived with for a while now is the charging port of the Bose QC35 headphones. It's a Micro-USB connector where most of my modern devices are USB-C. It doesn't really affect my overall travel packing when I'm traveling with my family as I've got older Kindle tablets that require Micro-USB. But it's still a luxury that I'd like in new headphones. In comes the QuietComfort Ultra 2 Headphones. I haven't gotten Bose headphones since my QC35 headphones so this will be a decent jump. Taking it out of the box, the new QC Ultra 2 is about 30 grams heavier than the QC35. What strikes me off the bat is that the QC Ultra 2 has metal forks which is a welcome upgrade since I've had other branded headphones that broke after 1 year of use. I noticed that the QC Ultra 2 only has two buttons. A labeled Bluetooth button and a non-labeled button. After looking through the quick start guide, both of these buttons are multi-function. There is also an embossed bar that is a capacitive touch volume control. The other cup has my coveted USB-C charging port. The USB-C port also allows USB audio. It also has a headphone jack for connecting to older planes and other audio devices. I've had several Bose devices that work well with the Bose Connect App, but now these QC Ultra 2 Headphones utilize the Bose App. After connecting to the Bose App and then connecting to my PC, I found it very easy to switch Source from within the App or by pressing the Bluetooth button. However, the Bluetooth button is a multi-function button that also controls the Power On/Off. So it took a little trial and error to press and hold the button for the right amount of time to jump between switching sources, power or go into Bluetooth pairing. That's where another function tries to help. The On/Off is also controlled by placing the headphones on your head. Within 5 seconds of placing on your head, the headphones automatically turn on and I suspect similarly when you lay them down, they take about 5 seconds to turn off. This is where I like the QC35 with the physical on/off slider and when you push past the On detent, it switches the Bluetooth. The EQ in the app is somewhat disappointing. While the out of the box sound profile is great, I want more EQ channels than just the 3 (bass, mid, treble). Immersive Audio in the App is kinda fun. When you have it in Still mode, it sets the sound stage virtually in front of you, but as you turn your head, the sound is virtually stationary and you get more sound to the 'closer' ear and less sound to the 'farther' ear. While it's fun, I don't see myself using it very often. Noise Cancelling. Bose has always been very good with Noise Cancelling. Even with the QC35, white noise is tuned out very well. With the QC Ultra 2, they take it a step further and try to tune out sudden noises above the white noise for a more pleasant experience. I really enjoy this. Add to it, I've been reading comparisons of the QC Ultra 2 against the XM6 and they are neck and neck when it comes to Noise Cancelling. Audio performance. Despite only having the ability to EQ 3 channels in the app, I have to say, I really stuck with the out of the box settings. Bose starts you off in a really good place. I was listening for hours before I realized how much time had passed. If you don't mind getting used to multi-function buttons, these Bose QuietComfort Ultra 2 headphones are top notch contenders. They are light, have good battery life, provide solid ANC performance and are great on the ears.

The same as Gen 1. The same audio the same quality.
