Customer Ratings & Reviews

Comfortable and well engineered head phones and good battery.

Pretty good- I was coming from the NC700s and wanted to upgrade- initially went w/the Sony 1000MX5s but although the sound was INCREDIBLE w/them, I really couldn't get used to the controls and the app. I then found that Bose had switched back to QC as the flagship model, so I gave those a shot and despite the Sonys having a slightly better (IMO) sound (and the QC Ultras aren't BAD- they're just a lot more neutral than the Sony headphones- the Sonys had more 'natural' low-end' IMO), the QC Ultras have INSANE noise cancelling- literally, I was listening to music w/them on the first night at a high-ish volume and couldn't hear myself snapping my finger in front of my face- the BEST noise-cancelling I've ever experienced. So, I kept them- don't regret it, but I MIGHT be looking into a pair of Jabra Evolve2 85 headphones b/c I do use these at work all day and these aren't the best w/Teams/Microsoft (tbh, the Sony ones were NOT any better and MS is notoriously horrible w/BT for Teams). Oh, battery life is pretty amazing- had to charge the NC700s every night (use them on the bus/train to midtown from south Brooklyn and sometimes for most of the day at work and then again on the ride home)- w/these, at most I'm charging them every other night- not even always.

Purchased these for my son as his previous ones Sony needed to be replacement. He mentions the sound quality is much better, the noise cancellation blocks pretty much all external noise. Its comfortable even with his glasses. His had it for several months, now the cushion started to tear, it may be from the eye glasses. He mostly uses it for the gym and while at the dorms. My husband has had the same pair for about a year now constantly using them. His doesn't have any tears on the cushion, and doesn't wear glasses.

These headphones have been a lifesaver in the workplace thanks to its amazing noise cancellation abilities. I have been so much more productive at work than I ever had been before due to being able to block out distractions. I also like that there is no “clogging” feeling in my ear with the noise cancellation and that I can achieve the reduced noise even when nothing is playing. It’s also very helpful to have the different modes that can be adjusted based on circumstances or personal preference. Definitely worth it for me!

A very well made and comfortable pair of headphones. Bose really is the master of noise cancellation. I was impressed by how well these block out my manager while I’m on my lunch break. I’d 100% buy again.

Great headset noise cancelling very comfortable on ear I have earring stacks and they don't bother me at all. Beautiful rich sound. I highly recommend!

I am so surprised at how comfortable this is. So if you have a budget, def get the QCU gen 1 is good enough and the sound quality is great still. Used this on a 10 hour flight and did not have any ear issues as it was comfortable.

I think Bose beats so many other competitors in so many ways. I’ve had Bose for a few years now and upgrade to these new ones and they didn’t miss. I love how comfortable they are despite wearing them for long study hours. The different using modes include quiet, immersion which is full noise cancellation. You can customize settings from their app. Love the quality and sound.

Quality 10 comfort 10 volume 7 if it had one to two more ups on volume in my opinion would be a solid pair. Hopefully, they can fix this in future updates.

Sublime. Truly sublime. I bought these headphones on a whim, but having experienced much of the QuietComfort line, I had high hopes and these do not disappoint. The lightest pair they’ve ever made, the best ear clearance I’ve ever felt, and my ears stay cool and comfortable. The noise cancellation is, as expected, bested only by what Apple will come out with in their next AirPods Max II headphones. The ambient sound is seamless and provides clear audio of your surroundings if you need it. The sound quality is Bose: great mids and decent lows with clean but not overwhelming highs. The app to control the headphones is also pretty easy to get the hang of. Do be careful pairing on the airplane as it’s easy for someone to pick up the signal and pair by accident. The power on button takes awhile. As in, you need to hold it down in order for the headphones to turn on. I prefer a switch, but it’s not a dealbreaker. All in, would buy again, even though they are expensive. If you know the serenity you feel when you isolate yourself from the rest of the world, this is the pair to get. Now, with added lightness, I almost want to wear them all the time.

I spent a ton of time (literally weeks) reading, learning and watching every single review of all headphones available early in early 2024. I found that every single review at least ranked these headphones as one of the best if not the best. I felt 100% certain that they are at least one of the best, but as I continue to read longer, I felt that they they are actually the best. I first bought the XM4, then returned them. Then bought the XM5 and while I liked them, I really wanted to try these headphones. I ordered the B&W 7s and noise cancelation was not different, and around the same time I finally got these Bose. 2 days as I was testing them, I never came back to the other two headphones I have. I am obsessed with headphones, and now this bose headphones are the only one I use. It’s sad that you really need to try different headphones to develop a sense of which one is best, and am glad I finally tried those and the decision was easy. Those are way much comfortable to wear than all other options, sound quality is INSANE… the the BEST aspect is the noise cancelation as well as the transperance mode. Phenominal headphones am so happy with my purchase.

I bought this and Apple Airpod Pro Max to compare. Bose one is more Light weight and comfortable for wearing long period of time. Both sound quality are pretty good to me so I just picked the one is less expensive with similar experience. Also love the sand color that gives some character but not too pop out :)

Bought these for my girlfriend and she absolutely loves the noise canceling and sound quality. She says they’re so comfortable and she can wear them all day without any problem. The battery lasts way longer than her previous pairs of headphones as well

I purchased the Bose QuietComfort Ultra headphones as a Christmas gift for my fiancé, and they were a huge hit. The noise‑cancelling is outstanding, the sound quality is rich and immersive, and they’re extremely comfortable for long wear. Bose has never disappointed.

Best over ear headphones I’ve ever owned. Very lightweight, easy to use and pair and the optional aux cord is clutch for airline travel. The bass and noise canceling is awesome and audio is extremely crisp

Awesome. This is the third set of headphones that I purchased ( 1st Bose) because of connectivity issues. Connected to everything with no problems first time, and its Bose so you already know about the sound quality.

This is simply the best premium headphones in the system period. The simple but elegant design, the top-notch noise cancellation, the ultra-comfortability, and the excellent sound quality make the Bose QC Ultra headphones the best.

These are by far the best headphones I've ever bought. After setting them up through the Bose app, they connect and work seamlessly with my phone. I love how you can change the different audio modes from quiet, to immersive, and aware. I rarely need to charge them too, I swear I've only had to hook them up a handful of times since I bought them a few months ago. Best headphones for the gym, studying or working. 10/10 would recommend them for everyone!

great, comfortable headphones, especially when on an airplane. the immersion setting removes all the plane.

Really good noise cancellation, worked grgeat on several 8+ hour flights and sounds great for casual listening too. Battery life is long and headphones are very lightweight so they don’t get uncomfortable.
