    Best Headphones ONLY when they work (no sound)

    First boot of the headphone noise-cancelling and sound is great. But soon after the headphones will get in a state that crash often where there will be no sound at all. The ONLY way out of this state if to FULLY drain the battery, but when the headphones are in this no sound crash state, it is almost importable to do so. It does not matter if you get a replacement (the replacement will soon do the same thing) or a factory reset (there is no true factory reset option). Many times to get sound back (but will still be in the crashing state) I leave them plug in for hr's. Each time I need to leave them plug in longer and longer. (Ex 1hr → 1.5hr → 2.5hr → 5hr → 12hr → Gave up and called them dead) It became of this problem, I was never able to drain the battery of the headphone pass 50% before the headphone would crash. Connectivity is one of the things that would prevent sound from coming back to the headphone when in the no sound state (in the app will show info about the headphone like if they are charging).

      Thank you very much for your review of the QuietComfort Ultra Headphones!

      While I'm happy to hear that you enjoyed the noise-cancelling functionality of your headphones and the Bose sound, I'm surprised to hear about the audio "crashing" in the way you've described. This shouldn't happen, and may be a sign of your pair of headphones being defective. What you can try - as well as an exchange of the headphones - is pairing a different Bluetooth device to the headphones. It has been known for the connected Bluetooth device, rather than the headphones themselves, to cause this type of audio issue.

      Our customer support team will be very happy to assist you further, if required. Please get in touch with us here: https://support.bose.com/s/get-help-landing-page?language=en_US

      Warm regards

    Fantastic, but only because of Gino in your Duluth store. And why is there no place to praise an employee? That is really bad that there is no place for me to praise a person as opposed to a product.

    Bose QC Ultra: Premium Price, Poor Performance

    [Employee of bestbuy] After seven months with the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones including countless domestic flights and multiple international trips I can confidently say I regret buying these. I came from the Sony WH-1000XM2, and honestly, I should’ve stuck with my seven-year-old Sony's or waited for the WH-1000XM6. The QC Ultra is nothing but an expensive disappointment. Battery Life? Embarrassing. These headphones somehow burn through battery even when you turn them off. I can flip the power switch via the Bluetooth button, see the LED die, set them down, and still wake up to a dead battery the next morning. On travel days, it’s infuriating. My XM2s never did this not once. ANC? Horrible for Movement. Any movement such as walking, chewing, turning your head, shifting in your seat causes this awful popping, thudding, or pressure shift. It completely shatters immersion. It’s so distracting that I’ve stopped using them for anything other than sitting perfectly still on a plane. Call Quality? Straight-Up Bad. Bose advertises “crystal-clear calls,” but the real-world performance is downright miserable. During a recent FaceTime call with my daughter, I was constantly being asked to repeat myself or worse, she couldn’t hear me at all. For something this expensive, that’s unacceptable. Background noise leaks in, voices cut out, and the microphones struggle with even the lightest breeze. Using these for calls feels like a downgrade from AirPods, speakerphone, or literally anything else. Connectivity? Finicky at Best. Random Bluetooth dropouts, audio desync when switching between devices, and the annoying tendency to auto-pair to the wrong device the moment you turn them on. Switching between phone, iPad, and laptop feels like playing roulette. Spatial Audio? More Gimmick Than Innovation. The head-tracking features are disorienting, inconsistent, and drain battery even faster. Most people turn it off immediately, and I don’t blame them it adds nothing but annoyance. And No, I’m Not a Sony Fanboy. I just want a premium product to work like a premium product. These do not. Every flight reminds me how badly I wish I’d waited for the Sony WH-1000XM6 instead of taking a chance on Bose’s hype machine. Never again. These will be my first and last Bose headphone purchase. Don’t waste your money, I should have waited for Sony's or bought anything else.

      Hi Stephen, thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback with us, we truly appreciate it. Your input is valuable and helps us identify areas where we can improve.
      The QuietComfort Ultra Headphones are designed with advanced features such as spatial audio, adaptive noise cancellation, and multi-device connectivity. However, we understand these can feel different compared to traditional models, and issues like battery drain, ANC sensitivity to movement, and call quality are not experiences we want you to have.
      To help, we recommend:
      Checking for firmware updates in the Bose Music app, as these often resolve battery and connectivity concerns.
      Resetting Bluetooth connections to improve pairing stability across multiple devices.
      Adjusting ANC settings in the app, which can reduce the pressure effect during movement.
      We want you to enjoy the reliable performance and comfort Bose is known for, and we’ll continue to support you in getting the best experience possible.

    Great sound abs very easy to setup and operate. I love how it automatically turn off or pause if you have to take off and then resume when you put back on your head. The only complaint is the quiet mode is not 100% silent. There is some outside noise but very minor

    Purchased and returned going off reviews, wasn't pleased with bass or noise canceling. I expected more from Bose especially with this price tag. Nice quality feel and other than that might be a good fit for others but I like a bass heavy headphone.
