Customer Ratings & Reviews

Tested these out on my vacation starting on the airplane for 3 hours and noise cancellation was excellent. Battery has never run out. Super comfortable fit too. I like the new beige color so may get another and give this one to my daughter. Great buy! Love Bose!

Great ANC, good intuitive controls, except for the media controls put into a single button. And comfortable, they adjust really well and feel very lightweight on the head.

Fit is very good, comfortable. Excellent noise canceling. No regrets in purchase.

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.

These are by far the best headsets I have owned! 10/10 I use them to run, workout and for work. The best part is they are COMFY!!! and not heavy.

My flight experience is much more pleasant with a fully charged (~20 hours) pair of these headphones. Comfortable to wear forever as long as the temperature is low enough.

Slipped these babies on and suddenly my noisy apartment turned into a zen garden. They’re so light I forgot I was wearing them—and I’ve worn them into a Zoom call, the shower, and once, almost into bed. The comfort? Chef’s kiss. Feels like my ears are getting a first-class hug. And the noise canceling? I didn’t hear my neighbor’s drum practice, my dog’s barking, or my own self-doubt. 10/10 would ignore the world again.

I was less interested in the noise canceling component than the great sound/great comfort qualities. And in these I found a winner. They sound fantastic, and I can wear them for hours. Oh yeah, the noise cancelling element works great, too!

Best headphones I have ever used. The noise cancelation is spectacular, it’s easy to use, the app is helpful. As a person with large stretched/gauged ears the comfort was most important for me and these absolutely deliver. No pinching, pushing, or soreness after long periods of use. Used daily for over a year and still amazing.

Do not get me wrong and take me personally base on my 4 months of experience with the bose quietcomfort ultra headphones I like it so far because it feels comfortable it just feels a little bit lose on my head just a little bit and the noise cancellation is good and the sound quality is good and it does a good job of reducing most noises it does not reduce some noises and I do believe the connection and the noise cancellation and the sound quality could be better with more clear sound quality nosie cancellation and audio calls other than that so far I like the bose quietcomfort ultra headphones

Love these headphones. Sound is awesome. They are very comfortable and stay on very well. Would highly recommend!

TLDR: Best ANC headphones on the market with a few fixable flaws. If you want better sounding headphones, be prepared to open up your wallet and hear a lot more of the outside world. If you’re looking for the best ANC headphones out there, the Bose QC Ultra’s are the way to go. This is my first pair of Bose headphones and I’ve been blown away by their ANC performance. I’m not new to the ANC headphone scene-I previously owned the Sony XM4’s and XM5’s, and the Sennheiser Momentum 3’s and 4’s. The QC Ultra’s surpass all of them when it comes to noise cancellation. The ANC is a little more effective than the Sony’s and considerably better than the Sennheiser’s. These aren’t audiophile headphones but for the average listener, like myself, these sound great. I think the Sennheiser’s sound a little better but it’s not a significant advantage. If you’re looking for “higher quality” sounding headphones, you’re going to have sacrifice ANC performance and spend a decent amount more. I’ve tried a few of the more upscale headphones and they do sound better but the ANC isn’t anywhere close to the QC Ultra’s. The build quality is solidly above average. It’s mostly plastic with synthetic leather but adds a touch of luxury with genuine aluminum accents. Outside of the Momentum 3’s, the QC Ultra’s have the best build quality. They’re light but don’t feel or look cheap. Unlike a lot of other headphones in this segment, these do fold so they come with a smaller case. The case isn’t extremely rigid but feels relatively solid. I wouldn’t be worried about these getting crushed when throwing them in a suitcase or backpack. This shouldn’t really be a pro but, yes, you can manually turn the Ultra’s off. So what’s not too hot? The battery life is mediocre/average. Compared to all of the ANC headphones I’ve owned, they have the worst battery life. I use these daily and have to charge them more frequently than the others. It’s not horrible but when compared to the 60 hour (give or take) battery life of the Momentum 4’s, the mediocrity really stands out. For some reason, Bose decided not to give users the option of turning off ANC. I suspect that having that option would improve battery life significantly. The app is ok but the EQ is pretty basic. You can’t save individual sound profiles and easily switch between them like with the Sony’s or Sennheiser’s. Again, I have no idea why they took that route. If enough people complain, hopefully they’ll update the ANC off and EQ through a software update. The last complaint is mostly cosmetic and seems to be an issue with a lot of other headphones. The finish of the ear cups are fingerprint magnets. It doesn’t matter when you’re jamming at home but who wants to be in public with greasy looking headphones. Overall, I really like the QC Ultra’s and will use them until they fall apart. I wanted the most effective ANC headphones and these fit the bill. They sound great and I love using them every day. They’re far from perfect but do the best job of suppressing all that chitter chatter in the background. If you cam get these on sale, i think they’re one of the best bargains available.

So comfortable with a really wonderful sound quality. Take these with me on long flights and the battery lasts forever. I'm so thrilled with my purchase. Can't be without these on long hauls. Noise cancelling is a lifesaver with screaming babies.

Best headphone I have purchased. Had AirPod max, skullcandy, beats etc etc these are by far the best headphones in terms of sound quality, weight and comfort

I love these headphones, the sound is so amazing. Also they feel so light and comfortable. They charge really fast. I got these headphones because I was constantly losing the Bose earbuds lol lol

Bose really did well with this headphones. Very comfertable, immersive sound, wind block option and many features.

Excellent head one . I have used all the headphones from Bose, this is the best I have ever used . It’s made so light , very flexible and soft in use and best is its sound , immersive , noise cancellation so effective, I slept so easily in the plane . It’s just excellent .

Though I ended up returning these, I loved the comfort and sound quality. At first, I wasn't too fond of the spatial audio or Immersive feature as initially, it sounded too articial. After some days using it in this mode and I swtiched back to the Sony XM5s at had bought at the same time, I preferred the sound in Immersive over the XM5s. For me, the Bose did not run as "hot" as the Sony's. The XM5s made my ears hot and the Bose didn't. I live in Chicago and commute on buses and trains, and the Bose kept tuned out my surroundings during my rides. Outside in the cold, the Aware mode sounded almost as good as the Transperancy mode on the AirPods Maxs (returned those too because they were too heavy) and kept my ears warm. The QuietComfort Ultras are great if you commute and travel a lot like I do. Ultimately, someone gave me the Bose 700s for free and that was the only reason why I ended up returning these. If that did not happen, I recommend these over the Sonys, though the XM5s have superior battery life to both the Bose and Airpod Max.

Super comfortable, excellent battery life. Bose app allows for multiple settings options, as well as customizable setting templates to swap between easily. Took me a while to realize (bad at reading instruction manuals) but you can easily swap between the chosen templates for your device by holding down the button instead of opening the app every time.

Awesome sound. Best headset I’ve owned . Enjoy the online app. Cost is pricey but well worth it .
