The QuietComfort Ultra Headphones (2nd Gen) are absolutely amazing. The noise cancellation is one of the best I’ve ever experienced — it completely blocks out background noise and makes music, calls, and videos sound crystal clear. The audio quality is rich, balanced, and very detailed, especially with the immersive sound mode.
The comfort level is outstanding. The ear cushions are soft, lightweight, and perfect for long hours of use without any pressure on the head. Battery life is strong and easily lasts through an entire day of work or travel.
These headphones deliver premium performance, great sound, and unmatched comfort. I’m extremely impressed and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for high-quality noise-cancelling headphones!

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.

I got these after shopping around a bit and I have been very pleased.
Pros: Great sound (with minor EQ), SUPER comfortable, amazing ANC and Awareness modes. I love the corded losseless audio, and aux cord option I can use for my Xbox.
Cons: the button scheme is pretty bare bones and can be difficult to use. 3 buttons for 10+ functions is not ideal, but not a deal breaker either. Bose in general could use more customization options I.e a 5+ band Eq vs the current 3, being able to give custom names and Eqs to the modes especially the custom modes
Neutral factors: The Immersive and Cinema modes are a neat options, but do take some getting used to. I do wish there was a little more color option. Bringing the in some of the pastels from the standard QC line would be great, I would also love a white and gold option.

I mainly use headphones for the gym and this purchase was an impulse, but I’m glad I pulled the trigger. The gym I go to plays really loud music and with the anc I can barely hear it, but if I raise the volume I won’t hear nothing from the outside world. They’re very comfortable during my training weightlifting and cardio (stairmaster). This is my first pair so I hope it’ll last.

Outstanding noise reduction, exceptional sound quality. I’ve always enjoyed the Bose brand, and this was an excellent addition to my collection, I use them outdoors quite often and wear them everywhere.

I have enjoyed Bose products over the years but had never tried their noise cancelling over the ear headphones. While the 2nd Gen product is brand new, the original Quietcomfort headphones have earned almost universal praise. I believe more kudos are in order with this new model.
I can report to you that the Quietcomfort ‘phones, although enclosing and sealing off my ears completely, are quite light, comfortable and non-fatiguing. It is possible to forget they are there as you enjoy the music. In fact, my first night of listening found me waking up the next morning with the ‘phones in place over my ears. They are that non-constricting.
From opening the box to listening to music takes only a couple of minutes. I installed the software on my smartphone, pressed the on button on the ‘phones and got a confirming LED light. The software recognized the headphones, and I had the devices paired easily.
Musical satisfaction was instantaneous. The presentation was neutral. I did use the app to knock down the lowest bass response down a few decibels to meet my personal preferences. Full equalization is available if you are so inclined. I felt my adjustment was just a small tweak.
The active noise cancellation must be experienced to be believed. I am not going to be flying this month, so I tried to come up with a way to evaluate the ANC without getting on a plane. I turned to YouTube and found a pink noise presentation which was probably set up for students and others who wanted to have a way to physically drown out distractions for study and sleep. I bumped up the pink noise to almost 70 decibels through my speakers while listening to music through the Bose’ phones. The noise reduction was quite effective. I was able to hear music only with the headphones over my ears and got blasted with the pink noise when I took the ‘phones off. Between songs the pink noise was muffled to the extent it could have almost been mistaken for tape hiss.
Battery life has been excellent. A full charge is said to provide 30 hours of playing time. These ‘phones certainly meet that spec, and when you take them off, they automatically go into a sleep mode to preserve battery life. One feature that I absolutely love is that you can successfully pair these ‘phones to multiple devices. So many similar products do not offer that feature.
I rate the sound quality as top notch and have used many headphones both wired and wireless over the years. If you value comfort and noise reduction, you will be making a serious mistake if you don’t give these a try. Highly, highly recommended.

The Bose QuietComfort Ultra 2nd Generation in black look, feel, and sound great! Having owned numerous over the ear headphones through the years, they all have had various shortcomings such as battery life and comfort or poor fidelity and sound quality. The Bose QC Ultra have nailed the feature set and are an all around great set of headphones.
The Bose QC Ultra feature a clean, modern design that looks and feels solid, apart from the hinge design of the cups (easy to pinch your fingers or hand) and easily lay flat on a surface or fold into the included carrying case. The QC Ultra have an adjustable soft, leather padded headband and equally plush leather ear cups, which are extremely comfortable even for extended wear with their 30 hour battery life. The headphones are also fairly light and don’t create any pressure points, which is a must.
The controls are limited and simple, but you have everything you would need with gestures from volume and call control to playback or immersion settings. There is even a customizable shortcut action where you can set to battery level, immersion, voice assistant or even Spotify resume. I would like Bose to expand this function further but it is great that you have some control over the behavior. The QC Ultra come with a 2.5 to 3.5 mm adapter cable, but the real treat here is the USB C port which supports wired lossless audio.
Audio quality is great and rich with that signature Bose sound. Within the app you can customize the Bose QC Ultra even more with custom immersion modes and equalizer access. The Bose QC feature CustomTune tech, which analyzes sound and adjusts it to the shape of your ears for optimal audio reproduction. I am not sure how much it adjust the audio but music is rich and detailed while having a wide, virtual sound stage. The immersion setting provide convincing instrument separation, which widens the presence and depth of the track. the Bose QC Ultra headphones aren’t just for music, with Cinema mode movies sound great and easily as enjoyable as my full theater system. If you are not looking to pipe any audio into your ears, the noise cancelation is top notch and can be utilized without audio to provide peace and quiet anywhere.
The Bose QuietComfort Ultra are some of the best all around headphones I have ever owned; from the fantastic spatial audio to the incredibly effective noise cancellation, they have everything you need in a premium set of headphones.
