Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Bose QuietComfort Ultra headphones represent the absolute zenith of what over-ear wireless headphones can achieve. The legendary noise cancellation is in a class of its own, creating an almost surreal pocket of silence that effortlessly erases the hum of airplanes, the clamor of city streets, and the distractions of a busy office. This allows you to focus completely on the music, which is delivered with stunning clarity, rich detail, and the deep, balanced bass Bose is known for. The new Immersive Audio feature is a revelation, adding a subtle but breathtaking sense of spatial depth and width to your music, making it feel like you're in the room with the artists without ever sounding gimmicky or unnatural. Beyond the stellar audio performance, these headphones are masterclasses in comfort and design. The plush, cloud-like ear cups and perfectly distributed weight make them disappear on your head for hours of uninterrupted listening. The intuitive touch controls and seamless multipoint Bluetooth connectivity make switching between devices effortless. The battery life is more than sufficient for all-day use, and the sleek black design exudes understated premium quality. For travelers, commuters, and audiophiles who demand the best in both silence and sound, the QuietComfort Ultra is an uncompromising and worthy investment.

It became a secondary hobby for me to find the ultimate pair of noise cancelling headphones; countless hours of YouTube Videos and visits to BestBuy to try different options. Without hesitation, I truly beleive this is the "Goldilocks" option. The noise cancellation is phenomenal, the weight is low, the on-station charge time will accomodate any world flight (>15 Hours), the foldup is super compact making for ultimate travel option, and the comfort is amazing. I have now had them for a few months now and truly love them. While I have seen some user's post down-sides like "the in-ability to turn off noise cancellation" to get crazy long battery life (do you really need 30 Hours continuous) or the price (which is in-line with similar players from Sony, Apple, JBL, and others).

Terrific noise canceling ability, decent bass when turned up on the equalizer in the app, comfortable faux leather padded ear covers, great adjustable size range, easy to use touch controls, multifunction soft touch button, great compact carrying case, comes with aux and USBC compatible charger cord, but no wall adapter, great transparent and motion tracking modes in the app, superb 40hr battery life, super clear built in mic. Great for everyday wear 8.5/10 could use a little more oomph in the bass department, not the most secure on head if you plan on using them for the gym, doesn’t come with a wall adapter for the charging cord even though it’s $370+, ear padding can get a bit hot at times if you are active while using them.

top quality headphones, even better than the previous model, excellent battery duration, used it on a flight from Miami to Portugal (9 hrs) and the battery was still 70%, noise cancellation is total, very light design, didnt hurt my ears after 9 hrs of using it, as per the price, I got it with a Visa reward of $200 so it cost me only $230, great price for a top quality headphones

The quality itself of the headphones is great. I got mine especially and specifically because of the noise cancelling and the feature that allows you to adjust how much noise you want to block or how much you want to hear. As a current college student going into nursing school, I often find myself having trouble finding where to study because there is always loud noises going on even in the quiet zones of libraries so these were the best choice for me, and also because I have very loud nieces and nephews that visit me on a daily. Not to mention as a student I always find my computer or phone dying on me mid lecture so these will automatically connect to any other device I have paired it with allowing myself to easily begin the lecture on another device without having to search for them on the Bluetooth tab. On the other hand I am also a person that struggles with depression and anxiety and the only way to get myself together that has worked the best is by listening to music or exercising with a good quality sound device. Not only the quality of the audio but also comfortability, these allow me to adjust the size to my head, and the ear cuffs rotate so when they are not in use I can put them around my neck and they stay rotate stay flat against me and allow movement of my head. Also another plus is the battery life, I can sometimes use it 4 days in a row and won’t die on me easily.

Very light, sound is awesome and battery life is very good so far. They are comfortable and volume is very responsive with just a touch of your finger. I bought them on sale and worth it!

I purchased these in the middle of December 2023. These headphones are comfortable, and the audio provided feels next level. I come from the Sony - WH1000XM4 Wireless headphones I had for two years. The noise canceling is more profound than the Sony's, but it feels great. The Bose app works great and allows you to customize some settings. The headphones widen comfortably for larger heads. My only concern is that I sometimes would like the audio quieter, but I can't turn it down to the volume I want without going all the way down to mute it. It may be an iPhone aspect because I have used the headphones on my PS5 and can find a comfortable volume there. It may just be the noise canceling working a little too well, haha, but I felt it was worth mentioning.

I bought these QuietComfort Ultra headphones in June 2024 to replace my old Bose QC35 that I used for years. This is my second pair of Bose noise cancelling headphones, so I had high expectations. Overall performance is excellent. Noise cancelling is stronger than on my QC35, especially for low constant noise like engines and air conditioners. On planes and in crowded places they cut the background noise down to almost nothing. The aware mode works well when I need to hear what is happening around me without taking the headphones off. Sound quality is a clear step up from the QC35. Bass has more impact but still stays controlled. Vocals and details sound cleaner, even at lower volume. With the Bose app EQ I could dial in a sound profile that works for both music and movies. Comfort is classic Bose. I can wear them for long workdays, flights and gym sessions without pressure points. The new USB C charging is a big improvement. With the QC35 the old micro USB cable was always a hassle, now I can use the same cable I use for my phone and other devices. Call quality is better than on my old pair. People on the other side hear me clearly, even in noisy environments. For calls plus music these are one of the best all round wireless headphones I have tried. The big negative for me is the same problem I had with the QC35. After several months of regular use, especially in the gym where there is sweat and moisture, the earpads start to crack and peel. On this Ultra model the pads actually started peeling even faster than on my QC35. For this price level I expected Bose to fix that by now. I really hope the next generation uses more durable pads or includes a better sweat resistant design. If you want top tier noise cancelling, comfort and sound, these are an excellent choice and a strong upgrade from the QC35. Just be ready that with heavy use, especially workouts, you may need to replace the earpads sooner than you would like.

Very comfy, I can see how ppl say it’s not “loud enough” but these are perfect, their never uncomfortable loud just like the perfect amount to me. Their really comfy and don’t hurt my head after using them for so long. I have a pretty big head and ear lol but they fit comfortably. The noise cancellation is the best and what I love the most. Helps a lot when getting overstimulated by sounds in public. If u want really painfully loud headphones these are not for u, if u want to escape the sounds from the world and listen to music for hours without getting a headace these are for you. Very portable and looks very good. Had them for under 2 months I still use them regular and daily

Bose never disappoints. Every product that Bose manufactures is always better than the next one. The Bose overhead noise cancelling headphones ultra quiet are no exception. The sound,the great fit over the ears, the battery life combine to make this headset probably the best in this price range. Another important feature is that the Bose Headset fits absolutely perfectly in its carrying case.

In 2024, we all know Bose for delivering top-notch audio experiences, but let's dive into the nitty-gritty of the Bose QC Ultra headphones. First off, a bit of a letdown – no passthrough audio when using a cable. You've got to make sure the battery is juiced up and the headphones are turned on to catch those beats when connected with a 3.5mm cable, even if you are using a DAC. Now, speaking of cables, you might want to invest in a longer one. The included cable is pretty short, even for in-flight use. The physical buttons are a nice touch, but there's a minor hiccup – a 4 to 5 second delay from pressing the power button to hearing the chime when turning them on and other unreliable results when pressing the buttons, so you got to get used to it. Connectivity is smooth if you stick to one device, but the multipoint feature is a bit wobbly. It tends to auto-pause music or disconnect randomly. AND, you have to manually switch devices using the button (a bit of a bummer). Let's talk noise-canceling – it's downright impressive. However, calls are a different story. The self-voice feature is a letdown, and the automatic turn-off when not in use is hit or miss. Don't be shocked to find your headphones drained if you forget to manually power them down. A quick note on Aptx – it supports Aptx Adaptive, not Aptx, Aptx LL, or Aptx HD. Also, Snapdragon Sound is cool, but only a handful of devices support it, making it more of a "future-proof" feature for a future that hasn't quite arrived. Now, onto comfort – they're cozy to wear. I appreciate the design; it's not too big or small. However, those flat hinges might play a little pinchy with your ears, fingers, or neck occasionally, and it's worth noting that they tend to collect fingerprints (see photo). Why am I airing out these grievances but keeping them? Well, I'm hopeful that some of these quirks will get sorted with firmware updates. Plus, let's be real – they sound fantastic, and the noise-canceling is the cream of the crop. BUT, if you're not too fussed about immersive audio and "snapdragon sound" (which can be a bit gimmicky), a previous model might suit you just fine (and be nicer with your pockets).

Very comfy, great battery life, noise cancelling & sound quality! Only downside is that if you have a small head like me, it slips off when working out or laying down

These are hands down the best headphones I’ve ever owned. The sound is rich, clear, and incredibly immersive with the spatial audio—it feels like I’m in the middle of the music. Noise cancelling is next-level; it completely blocks out the world. They’re also super comfortable, even for long listening sessions, and the battery lasts all day. Calls are crystal clear too. If you want premium sound and comfort, the Bose QuietComfort Ultra is worth every cent.

I upgraded from the QC35’s and these are some great headphones. The noise cancellation works very well. I recently travelled with these through the airport and the flight and I barely heard a thing. High quality bass and treble levels. Call quality and pretty good too. The person on the other line can hear you quite well to much as a whisper. The EQ settings need a bit of work, and you don’t really need the other modes like walk, focus, and quiet. All you need is Aware mode and Immersion mode. But overall great headphones.

Exceptional audio, ANC, comfort, microphone clarity, and build quality. Out of the box, great experience on iOS, Android, Mac, and Nintendo Switch. Works with BOSE USB Link for superior/simpler performance on Windows. Works well with AptX dongles for wireless performance on PS5. Bose Music app is minimal but overall effective. ‘Smart’ buttons and functions are a bit clumsy. The ‘immersive’ audio is a tedious gimmick that I never use. Battery life could be better. If you’re loyal to Bose, these are a worthy revision. As always, price-to-performance doesn’t stack up against Sennheiser or Sony. Built-in Microphone doesn’t work when wired; included aux cable doesn’t have inline mic.

Sound quality is extremely nice, wish it was more louder but for sure good enough. Had some connection issues though a week later, It was saying it was connected but no sound was coming through and it kept trying to connect to app but wouldnt. Had to double click Bluetooth an hold it for a long time, was very annoying but doesnt happen too often. Gonna replace this pair because of that. Noise cancelling is very good but could be a little better I feel like anyways (I understand they are ear muffs though and I do mow lawns so... still I barely hear the mowers). The battery life is god tier, literally all day I be playing music without it dieing on me very impressive. In love with these for sure!!

I’ve been using the Bose QuietComfort Ultra headphones for a while now, and the experience has been a mixed bag. On the positive side, the sound quality is outstanding. It sounds rich, balanced, and detailed across all ranges. The noise canceling is some of the best I’ve ever experienced, blocking out everything from office chatter to plane engines. Comfort is also top-notch. I can wear them for hours without any fatigue or head pain. Unfortunately, the microphone is a major letdown. Total trash. On calls and video meetings, people constantly tell me I sound muffled or hard to hear, and the mic also seems to pick up every bit of background noise. Compared to my older QC35 II, the mic performance is significantly worse, which is disappointing for a premium product at this price point. Overall, while the headphones excel in listening experience and comfort, the poor microphone quality is a dealbreaker for me. If I had to do it all over again, I wouldn’t buy the QC Ultras.

Great comfort, great sound, great battery life. Very nice for travel/gaming/watching a movie next to a sleeping wife.
