Customer Ratings & Reviews

I've always loved Bose speakers and headphones. I got these as a Christmas gift for my daughter and she LOVES them. These have the best noise-cancelling technology out there. No surprise since Bose developed it, but these are special. They have this crazy feature where as you turn your head, it sounds like the music is still straight in front of you. I feels like the band is in the room and you are standing center stage watching them. I have no idea how they do it, but it is one of the coolest things ever. The battery life is also wonderful. Should last you all day, even if your flight is delayed and you're flying to the other side of the world.

For anyone looking for a Quality sound…Best Headphones in the market,Amazing Bass depth powerful and also treble…Great job in noise cancellation perfect complete product.

Ive taken these with me to many nations and they are so comfortable to wear through long international flights. Long battery life is a plus!

Amazing keeps my loud non factor co worker's conversation out of my head. Highly recommend

I really like this noise-cancelling headset. So far, so good. I’ve used it on several long international flights, and you almost forget you’re wearing it and in a plane!

I use these for working in my home office. Great noise cancelling and solid battery life. I'll generally charge once or twice a week. I like that they switch seamlessly from my cell phone to my laptop for web calls.

These headphones truly sound amazing, and I’m happy to report they are comfortable. I can’t wear anything tight, they feel like painful vice grips on my head, but these are just as comfortable as the regular Quiet Comfort headphones that have been around for years, to me at least. The 700s felt tight and uncomfortable to me so I didn’t get them but these are a win. Sound is your typical great Bose over the ear headphones, but the Ultra line has a new feature where it feels like the music is in front of you rather than IN ear. It’s not just a gimmick to me, and when I turn it off and the music goes “back into my ear” I’m disappointed and I turn the immersive audio back on. It’s so good sometimes I check to make sure the sound isn’t coming from my ipad instead of the headphones. GET THESE they are awesome - I chose the Lunar Blue color, it’s fun to have something other than black, white, and beige/grey in the premium line. Thanks Bose!

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.

I love the sound quality and comfort. I can wear these for hours (without the battery dying) and not even notice them.

I really like Bose and these headphones don’t disappoint. Sound quality and noise canceling is great. They are comfortable for long flights. The case is cool to protect them. I like these better then Beats. The difference modes for sound is cool and the app is easy to use. Highly recommend.

As someone deeply invested in the Apple ecosystem, I decided to try the Bose QC Ultra headphones, and the only reason I’ve kept them is their incredible sound quality. However, they come with their share of frustrations. When connected to wireless CarPlay, my phone seamlessly transfers what I was playing to the car speakers, which works well. The problem arises when I step out of the car. Once the headphones turn off and back on, they fail to pick up what I was previously listening to on my phone. This lack of continuity is frustrating, especially given the expectation of a smooth transition. Another annoyance is the overly sensitive wear detection—simply nodding or bending down makes the headphones think I’ve taken them off. Yet, at other times, they continue playing sounds even after I’ve taken them off, which is equally frustrating. Additionally, they don’t forward “Siri” or “Hey Siri” commands to my phone, which disrupts the hands-free experience I rely on with other devices in the Apple ecosystem. Despite these issues, I can’t deny how much I love the sound quality. If Bose could iron out these usability quirks, these headphones would be nearly perfect.

Wore them on a plane for over 8 hours with 0 fatigue. Only need to remove for takeoff as the noise cancelling crackles on takeoff. Great battery life. Sound very good at any volume.

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.

Although it glitches when switching between products, that takes nothing away from the sound, and noise cancelling ability. Easily the best money spent and return from product. Comfortable and not flimsy which I appreciate as someone who has a toddler running amok.

I really like the sound quality of this headphones, I have tried some others in the market but they are not comparables. The battery is enough for the use that I have

Not sure what happened, but I was expecting to be blown away with the sound this produces but fell short. The main complaint is the lack of bass, it’s quite flat. I will sometimes pull out my $30 headset to listen to music/videos where I want to feel rumble in my ears. What is good about this device, is the noise cancellation, ear comfort, and light weight on head. I struggle with turning this off/on, since the Bluetooth button is also the power off/on button.

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.

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
