Customer Ratings & Reviews

I love my Bose Quiet Comfort Ultra Headphones. I wore them on a five-hour flight, and they isolated me from the aircraft's noise, whereas the open earphones couldn't be heard. They are comfortable, and the charge lasts a long time. I have done a lot of research, and Bose was the best fit for me. The Best Buy salesmen weren't helpful when making this purchase. The cashier duped me into reopening a Best Buy credit card by saying that there was a $50 credit toward the purchase. He just didn't mean this purchase.

These are fantastic. VERY comfortable, I can play all day with these on and they don't bother me one bit. The sound dampening is amazing, same with the quality of sound. I had no problems at all in connecting it to my PC. Highly recommend them. They are a bit expensive, but personally I think they're worth it.

Purchased these for the gym, they are amazing for that. Used them while cutting grass on a zero turn was surprised to find out I was able to take a phone call while the mower was running and the person on the other line could hear me perfectly and not the mower. The battery life is amazing.

I was in the market for new over ear headphones. Previously, I was using an older model of wireless beats studios. The Bose QC ultra are a huge step up in sound quality, comfort, and ease of use. EQ settings are new to me but I’ve messed around with my preferences. They’re so light and padded that I don’t really notice them even during long study sessions. The volume slider is different but once you get a hang of it it’s intuitive. The noise canceling is top tier. I was lucky to find these open box and in great condition.

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.

At 52, I’ve spent a lifetime appreciating sound — from the hiss of cassette tapes to the clean clarity of CDs, and now to lossless digital audio. Over the years, I’ve tried countless pairs of headphones chasing that perfect mix of comfort, quality, and quiet. With the Bose QuietComfort Ultra, I believe I’ve finally found it. Right away, the design speaks to the kind of craftsmanship that feels built to last. They’re solid but light, refined but not flashy. Slipping them on is like shutting the door to the outside world — in the best way. The cushioning is second to none. Even during long flights or extended listening sessions at home, they never feel fatiguing. The real magic, though, is in the noise cancellation. I’ve used plenty of “noise-canceling” headphones over the years, but none touch this level of performance. Whether I’m blocking out the hum of the world or just trying to enjoy a quiet moment, these headphones create a peaceful, private space for my music, audiobooks, or podcasts. And then there’s the sound — rich, balanced, and full-bodied. Bass hits without being muddy, mids are clean, and highs are crisp without being harsh. It doesn’t matter if I’m listening to classic rock, jazz, or orchestral film scores — the QuietComfort Ultras present each note with precision and warmth that takes me back to when I first fell in love with music. The wireless connection is rock solid, pairing easily with my phone and other devices. Battery life is excellent, and the touch controls are easy to use without being gimmicky. For someone who values tradition but embraces what technology can offer, these headphones strike the perfect balance. They’re not overhyped or overdesigned — just expertly built with purpose, passion, and performance in mind. Verdict: The Bose QuietComfort Ultra delivers exactly what the name promises — quiet, comfort, and ultra-premium sound. For those of us who’ve listened across the decades, these headphones prove that great sound never goes out of style.

i also own a sony mx3, but this is much more comfortable than what the other is! i’ve literally worn them for 8 hrs straight and never felt like i need to take em off! sounds great too, immersive audio for the win for sure. ANC could be better though, that and the fact that it doesn’t have passive mode of listening :( but overall a great buy!

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.

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.

The headphones are great! I have a smaller head and have trouble finding headphones that fit me correctly and don’t hurt the top of my head but these are perfect. They fit great and have really nice sound quality. I would definitely recommend!

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 absolutely love using the Bose QC Ultra — the sound is breathtakingly clear, and every song or game feels deeply immersive. The comfort is outstanding — it stays comfy even during long listening sessions. It’s amazing how much richer and more detailed everything sounds with it.

I bought these for flights and general use. I don't like airpods. They don't fit well FOR ME. These fit well and I appreciate the different modes for noise cancellation. They're lightweight and the case keeps them protected.

I am thoroughly impressed with these Bose QuietComfort Ultra headphones. The immersive audio is truly remarkable, creating a rich and detailed listening experience. The noise cancellation is simply amazing and effectively blocks out all surrounding distractions, making them perfect for travel, work, or just relaxing. To top it all off, the battery life is excellent and reliable. I highly recommend these headphones!

So good on an airplane for cutting out crying babies and the like. Really useful and comfortable.

Awesome headphones, great sound, great battery, great design, I had the Apple Max 2’s, Bose out performed at every level!

Love these! I have a very hard time finding headphones that actually fit my head and these are perfect. Sound quality is excellent and the noise cancelling feature is great when I'm working out or mowing the lawn.

Always great sound quality and features from Bose. Easy connection and long battery life. Fast charging is a bonus.

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 suffer TBI and multiple concussion/post concussion syndrome with migraine along with ADD/ADHD symptoms. These head phones are perfect for working at home, be it editing videos, listening to music or podcasts, movies, to studying, and meditation. They are super comfortable too. They are capable of handling and distributing different wave forms in the audio (trapezoid) etc which helps make the delivering of gamma/beta and other wave form beats truly effective during sound therapy sessions. Their noise cancellation is unmatched, as are the immersion, quiet, and aware modes. They are super easy to set up on your MacBook and for me - android phone. And talk about clarity on the mic and the headphones for cellular calls and virtual meetings. You can't go wrong with these incredibly well designed and built Bose headphones.
