Customer Ratings & Reviews

I’ve been using the Bose QuietComfort Ultra in Lunar Blue for a little while now, and overall, I’m impressed. The noise cancellation is extremely effective — it blocks out background sounds like traffic, conversations, and even low airplane hums really well. It makes studying or listening to music way more immersive. Sound quality is clear and balanced. The bass is present but not overpowering, and vocals come through crisp. I also like the immersive audio feature — it gives music a wider, more spacious feel. Comfort is one of the best parts. The ear cushions are soft, and I can wear them for long periods without discomfort. The Lunar Blue color looks clean and premium in person. Battery life has been solid so far, easily lasting me through multiple days of regular use before needing a charge. Overall, these feel like high-quality headphones that deliver strong noise cancellation, great sound, and all-day comfort.

I’ve owned and tested quite a few over-ear headphones over the years, and these genuinely stand out. The sound quality is excellent right out of the box — clean mids, deep but controlled bass, and clear highs without being fatiguing at Bass 0 Mids +4 Treble -2. They handle everything well, from music and movies to calls and podcasts. Noise cancellation is very effective, especially for constant background noise like traffic, HVAC, or office environments. It creates a calm, immersive listening experience without that heavy pressure some ANC headphones cause. Comfort is another big plus. The ear cups are soft, lightweight, and breathable enough for long listening sessions without discomfort. Battery life has also been solid so far — easily lasting through multiple days of regular use. Build quality feels premium, controls are intuitive, and pairing was quick and seamless. Overall, these feel like a well-designed, high-end product that’s worth the price. If you’re looking for reliable performance, comfort, and great sound in one package, these are an easy recommendation.

Soft pads for ears; it does eliminate noise outside of the headphones; everyone that sees me where my headphones compliments the color (Lunar Blue). It's sleek, comes in a great case, and the only reason why I don't give it 5 stars is b/c after 3 hours or so, the tip top of my head (mid-scalp) begins to hurt. (I guess I need a little more padding.) Easily connects to blue tooth on my cell phone and desktop computers.

I was honestly scared to buy this after reading all the reviews and watching videos about how poor the mic quality was, connectivity issues, etc. but I'm really glad I did. My main critique, like others have pointed out, is that there's no "off" mode for ANC––it's always on some sort of ANC, and the most you can do to reduce it is put it on the lowest "Aware" setting. Sometimes ANC can give me a headache after having the headphones on for extended periods of time, so that is a negative for me. But I ultimately decided to keep the headphones because of a spate of other pluses; trust me, I had full intention of returning this because I expected it to be just as bad as the other reviews/Reddit made it out to be. I swore off headphones after a terrible experience with the AirPods Max but this really sold me on them again. First of all, as one review mentioned, this is the solution for glasses wearers - the pads are light and soft, almost weightless. I used to have the AirPods Max and it gave me the absolute worst headache because it would push my glasses in on the side of my face. Second, I didn't have any issues with the mic quality on Zoom or FaceTime; it came across just as clearly as my AirPods, which I deem to be just a little bit grainier than speaking with the laptop built-in mic. I'm not sure if this was fixed in an update or if the product has been updated or what, but I haven't had any issues with my voice sounding far away or not coming through. Third, I haven't experienced any connectivity issues with my phone or computer - it's always been a seamless transition between the two, and the headphones turn on immediately when I put them on after sleep mode. Lastly, I really enjoy the Immersive Audio feature as a casual music listener. I know some people find it gimmicky, but for me it really elevates the listening experience. It's crazy that it sounds like it's coming from all around you or even from outside of your speakers. Also, while this is more minor, I really love the Deep Plum color--sophisticated and elegant and it matched my vibe. Loved how the charger, case, and headphone jack matched. Overall, I'm happy with my purchase. I'd recommend buying it to try it out from Best Buy if you are feeling on the fence. Even though Bose gives discounts from their website, I heard nightmare stories about trying to return the headphones through them so I bit the bullet and paid a little extra to have the reassurance of a Best Buy return. This review isn't sponsored by Best Buy, Bose, or anyone - but I thought I'd share given that I feel like my experience has vastly differed from a lot of the negative reviews. Maybe it's because I'm more of a casual headphone user, or maybe I got lucky with the item I received, but I hope this review helps someone make a decision about these!

I settled on the Bose QuietComfort Ultra headphones after an underwhelming experience with the Sennheiser MOMENTUM 4, and testing out my friend's Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones. The Bose are the best for cancelling out loud city noises, annoying neighbor noises in apartment buildings, and construction noises. All while having amazing battery life. These headphones are a comfortable fit, they are lightweight and have the ability for connectivity to two devices at the same time. The call audio is great, the companion application is easy to use and allows customizable EQ settings. The carrying case is leather like has a nice simple design. Overall I'm happy with this purchase.

The Bose headphones deliver a refined listening experience built around industry-leading noise-cancellation and impressive comfort. Bose’s adaptive ANC remains one of the best available, effectively reducing background noise in busy environments without introducing pressure or distortion. The sound profile is clean and well-balanced, offering clear mids, smooth highs, and a warm low end that complements most genres. Comfort is another standout feature. The lightweight frame, soft ear cushions, and stable fit make the headphones ideal for long listening sessions, whether during work, travel, or commuting. Battery life is competitive, and the controls—both physical and app-based—are intuitive and responsive. While the premium build and performance justify the price for many listeners, users seeking more customizable sound might find the EQ options somewhat limited compared to competitors. Still, for those prioritizing noise-cancellation, comfort, and an overall polished audio experience, Bose remains a top-tier choice.

I picked up the Bose QuietComfort Ultras after being underwhelmed by a similar Sennheiser model. They do feel more durable than the Sennheisers, but I’ve already had to replace a pair through a warranty claim. I travel a lot for work, and they don’t seem to handle the pressure changes from flying very well. Sound quality is strong, and the noise canceling is solid. That said, after a fair amount of travel, I started noticing the bass crackling a bit, likely tied to how the internal adhesives react to pressure changes. If you’re planning to use these primarily for travel, I’d look at other options. For everyday use around the house, though, they’re perfectly fine.

Connecting and setup on these headphones was easy and fast. Scan the QR code and download the Bose app and you are in business. The headphones come in a nice padded case. Sturdy construction and easy to adjust. The earpads are very comfortable and fit nicely over the ears. It would be nice to see some fun colors instead of just black and white. Also included are 3.5 mm to 2.5 mm audio cable and a USB-C (A to C) cable that is 20” long. With the Bose app you can adjust setting modes. You can also adjust on the headphones (right ear) by a long press on the control button allows you to change settings. A short press is for pause / resume. There is also a volume control strip where you can slide your finger to increase / decrease volume. On your left ear there is a 2.5mm jack. Quiet - highs hit harder and bass drops the deepest. Aware - hear your music and surroundings with full transparency. Immersion - combine full noise cancellation and Bose Immersive Audio for best sound quality. Equalizer – works well and easy to adjust. Immersive Audio – Spatial audio makes the sound more realistic as it comes at you from all angles – just like in real life. Still / Motion settings – will you be sitting or moving? Tailored sound that analyzes the shape of your ears, adapts any distortion to give the best sound quality. Spatial audio makes the sound more realistic as it comes at you from all angles – just like in real life. Call quality was very good. Two of my calls had poorer audio quality but that may have been partially on the other end. Bose says the range is 30’ but I was able to extend that to 36-40’. Quality was fine until it lost connection. My usage was varied as I used all 3 modes so my battery life was about 21 hours. Immersion mode uses the most battery. Charging took just under 3 hours from about 5%. Highly recommended.

I work on a floor with lots of phone calls coming in. With these I never hear anything outside of what I am listening to. If coworkers need me, they either have to message me or come over to my cube to get my attention. These also flawlessly work with my cell phone and office PC via Bluetooth at the same time. Also call quality and people hearing me works great without a microphone hanging out the front. Also very comfortable on my head and battery lasts all day!

I tried on multiple headphones at BestBuy and the Bose UQ Headphones was the best fit. It is lightweight, has a long battery life, comfortable around the ear and neck, and the premium sound quality makes the purchase so worth it.

The headphone audio quality is excellent. I upgrade from Bose QC35 II and it was well worth it. The one thing that I will say is that connectivity with 2+ devices gets a bit dicey, but I think this is true of any audio product operating in an Apple ecosystem that is not Apple. The battery lfie is astounding, the noise cancelling is excellent, the comfort level is amazing, and I'm very happy with the color too. Very happy with this purchase and highly recommend

AMAZ…ZING! I tried several brands of over the ear headphones and wireless ear buds. These by far without a doubt have been the best. With the others, I had to sacrifice something. Good sound quality with noise cancellation meant my friends and family could barely hear me talking through the built in speaker. When they could hear me well it meant they heard all the background and ambient sounds filling the room included with that. From JBLs, to over the ear and ear bud Beats to Air Pods. These have far surpassed the competition where I’m no longer sacrificing comfort or sound quality, paired with the lasting battery. I can take a full day of meetings without a recharge. I use them everyday for remote at a desk work.

I’ve been using the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones every day for work and workouts, and they’ve honestly become one of my favorite purchases. The noise cancellation makes a huge difference during meetings by blocking out office noise, the sound quality is rich and detailed, and the comfort is good enough to wear for hours without thinking about it, plus they even stay put surprisingly well during gym sessions and walks. Overall, they look premium, feel premium, and deliver the kind of all day performance that makes them absolutely worth it.

I understand that these headphones are expensive, but if you can afford them or are considering investing in them, I believe they are absolutely worth it. I previously owned the Sony XM5 headphones and enjoyed them, but the case was too large and inconvenient to carry around. After conducting research, I decided to return the XM5s and purchase the Bose QC Ultra headphones, and I was extremely impressed. The QC Ultra headphones are constructed with better quality materials and are incredibly comfortable to wear for extended periods. The sound quality is also exceptional. While the Sony headphones are a good choice, the Bose headphones offer superior comfort, portability, sound, and overall quality. Although the microphone on the Bose headphones is not as good as the Sony headphones, the difference is not significant. In my opinion, Bose headphones are the superior choice.

I tried so many different noise cancelling head phones and finally decided on QC ultra. I am not a big tech guy to analyze all acoustic qualities and my decision was based on what experienced in short time tests and I have no regrets yet. I use it daily during meditation and on long distance flights with comfort and satisfaction. Sleek design and lightweight is also a plus point.

I LOVEEEEE these headphones.First of all, they are gorgeous, second, they sound amazing, especially compared to my other earbuds and headphones that I've tried. They last me so long on battery and also help block out outside noise and music when I'm at the gym. I love them downnnn and

This is the best pair of headphones I've ever owned the noise canceling is insane quiet powerful Bass and design is super comfortable around the head and that you 2 hours after buying them I took a nap by accident because they were so comfortable and the audio is so clean definitely a must buy if you're into music and a comfortable pair of headphones the headphones are easy to set up and navigate with the bose app and the battery life is insane I'm full charge it will last me from 9:30 to 2:00 and the headphones would barely be on 90%.

I travel for work and my ears get sore from my AirPods after having them in for hours and hours, so I wanted to have an over the ear option. I had purchased a cheaper brand off of Amazon that did the trick, but just wasn’t what I was ultimately wanting. These are extremely comfortable, the sound is unmatched, the noise cancellation and aware features are great for airports and planes. The dual connectivity is also a bonus for my phone and iPad. Definitely download the app!

Had the unfortunate situation where my old earbuds completely died on me during a flight, a coworker recommended these headphones as a replacement. I don't think I've ever been this satisfied with a pair of headphones before. Battery life is insane. Haven't had to charge them yet despite four 5+ hour flights over the last 2 weeks. they sound amazing. the different modes allow you to either completely block out background noise or have some awareness. Also, I have a larger than normal head and these fit great.

Wow! I tried these on in the store and put on the immersive audio and it was like I accidentally turned on the music so it was playing in the store instead of my headphone. I quickly took them off to turn off the music but to my surprise, it was quiet. The sound was only on the headphones but it was like I was right there! I was hooked and had to have them. I’ve had them for around a month and they have amazing sound quality, are very comfortable, lightweight, and the battery life is awesome. So much better than anything I tried. Get them and do it now!
