Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great staff and very helpful. Loved my headphones sound.

I love this head phone Bose so awesome the Quality the best and ever godbless Best Buy

Best sound quality for someone that likes to spend time alone in quality

Top tier all the way Dont doubt just don it. I tried all from the sony to the apple These are the best

The Bose QuietComfort Ultra headphones offer exceptional noise cancellation and a user-friendly app interface. However, the bass quality may not satisfy all audiophiles.

Sound quality when using cord is poor when pugged into aircraft sound jacks. Works well only as wireless.

I love them. I use them frequently at work, while gaming, or consuming media during bedtime.

Could have had same sound experience with next down model of Bose or perhaps another brand. In other words, overpriced.

Super good love the bass and sound also very comfortable will buy again

For the price they are noise cancelling should be amazing but I feel like it doesn’t work that well I could still hear my surroundings and other peoples voices and music even when quiet mode is activated I also don’t like that they turn on by themselves when I place them on and the battery is ok

Good sound and good noice cancelling from the outside, works best for music and music only. Not very good mic quality and very poor voice isolation. For its price and brand, I expected top-notch performance but was mistaken.

They are better than the older versions . I like the fact that you could choose more than one color

Excellent headphones, very good acoustics and quality finish

The sound is better than any other headphone I've owned, and the battery life is great. That being said, these headphones have some major issues that are causing me to look at alternatives much sooner than I would have liked. The seam in the ear cushion starts to rip after a couple of months of use, I've had to replace them 4 times in the 1.5 years I have owned these. Fortunately Bose sells replacements, but they cost $35. So factor that in as a hidden cost of these when comparing them to alternatives, and a major annoyance. The software can be buggy, they will repeatedly pause and restart. I contacted their support, who told me to turn Bluetooth off on other devices, but that did not help. It doesn't happen too often, but when it does, it goes on for a while, and is very frustrating.

Excellent headphones, BOSE always hits it out of the park!

Bose's latest version of their QuietComfort Headphones excel in almost every aspect. Their noise cancelling is top tier, they're very lightweight and comfortable to wear for extended periods, they sound excellent. Starting with their sound, they have excellent audio quality. Highs and lows are easily distinguished. Bose touts their immersive audio in these headphones, and it's an impressive feature to be able to sort of have audio seeming to emanate from its source. Say you have your phone on a desk, the sound would seem to come from that area, so turning your head would keep the audio coming from there while you move your head around. It's an interesting feature that works well. I also feel I should comment on how great these headphones sound. They truly are excellent sounding. Setup and connection are very easy. Especially using Bose's app. You just select the headphones in the app, and it easily guides you through getting them ready for use within a couple of minutes. Even letting you sample the immersive audio options. Connecting to dual devices is also easy and works very well. I like to wear the headphones while I'm working and using them to edit or watch videos on my PC, or anything on my phone will moving seamlessly between the two are handled very well. Bose also has a neat feature that plays a special audio tone that helps map your ear's unique properties and caters to you. It does this each time you put the headphones on, and you don't even notice. Another headline feature of these headphones for me is how comfortable they are. Wearing for extended periods of time doesn't get too uncomfortable over time. I'm able to wear them for hours at a time while I work without feeling the need to take them off. They seem lighter than other competitor headphones that are at this level. The fast charging is another standout feature. Being able to get an extra 3 hours of listening time after a 15-minute charge is great. If you forget to charge them before starting to work on a project, or hop on a flight, you can get enough battery from a quick charge. The battery life itself is also very good. Bose claims 24 hours of life without using the immersive audio, and I'm getting right around that battery life in my experience. Truly impressive. I also really appreciate how seamless and quickly it is to start using the headphones. The sensor in the headphones detects when you take them off and puts them in a sort of standby mode to save battery. If you put them back on within 24 hours of last taking them off, they automatically turn back on and reconnect to your devices. It works so well that using them is such an easy and pleasant experience. If you use headphones frequently, you owe it to yourself to get a nice pair. And if you're considering these, you won't be disappointed. Pros: Excellent audio quality, comfort, features, ease of use, lightweight Cons: I wouldn't mind if these hand controls on both earcups to skip tracks, etc.

Even though I have used some amazing wireless headphones before, and my personal bar is set very high, I was still absolutely blown away by how exceptional the performance of these headphones are. The noise canceling and sound quality are the best in their class. Bose Ultra is now the new standard for wireless noise canceling headphones, to which all others will be compared. Bose was one of the original pioneers of noise canceling technology, and they have made some excellent products over the years, but they have found a way to set the bar even higher with Bose Ultra. When wearing them, I feel like I am in my own personal bubble of sound. I was not able to test them on an airplane, but I am looking forward to using them the next time I fly. Sound quality is also excellent. They produce powerful, full-range, high fidelity sound that makes watching movies and listening to music an absolute pleasure. The Bose Music App has a 3 band EQ that can be used to tweak the sound profile to the user's liking. There are also a few sound presets that can be used as well. I preferred the Bass Boost preset and found the bass to be powerful, while still being defined. I enjoyed the Immersive Audio feature for music because it convincingly enlarges the width and depth of the soundstage. Music impressively seems to be coming from all around. Setup is very straightforward. The Bose Music App is recommended since it opens up the advanced features of the headphones. Since I own other Bose products, I was already using the App so all I had to do was add a device. If this is your first Bose product then you will have to download the App and create an account. Theoretically it is possible to use the headphones without the App, but that is not advisable as you would be locking yourself out of many of the advanced features. Battery life is rated at up to 24 hours. I have been using them extensively for several days without needing a charge, so I consider the battery life to be outstanding. The headphones offer a very advanced Bluetooth Multipoint capability. Taping the Bluetooth button on the headphones switches to the next paired available device. This makes switching the primary audio stream from your phone to another device very easy. This is the smoothest Bluetooth switching implementation I have ever used. Switching from device to device can also be done using the App. The App will list the available device and which device is primary for audio. The build quality for these headphones is as good as the sound quality. They are manufactured from high quality components, and are very comfortable to wear. I would describe the ear cushions and head strap as pillow soft. The included hard case is sturdy and provides excellent protection. The case has a small interior sleeve to store cables and accessories. There is also an interior tag that shows the proper way to fold and insert the headphones into the case. Bose has set the bar once again for the wireless noise canceling headphone market. They have completely exceeded everything else that has come before it. They are expensive, but if you want the best noise canceling performance available, then Bose Ultra is what you want to get..

Several years ago, I discovered Bose Quiet Comfort headphones. My first pair wore the QC15 and I have owned every iteration since then. Until now, the best of the best have been the Bose NC700 which are spectacular headphones. Now, I find myself the proud owner of the company’s newest over-ear headset, the Bose Quiet Comfort Ultra. After thorough comparison, I can confidently say that the new Ultra are an upgrade in every way. There is especially one aspect which causes the Ultra to make them an absolutely must-have for music lovers. I will get to that in a moment, but first here are my thoughts on how the NC700 and QC Ultra compare: COMFORT I am very happy to report that the Bose QC Ultra are more comfortable than the NC 700 headphones. They are lighter, there is less clamping force and the headband distributes weight better on the top of your head. I used to consider the NC 700 headphones as the second most comfortable pair of over-ear headphones second only to the QC45. Well, the Ultra now take this 2nd place spot and they are almost as comfortable as the 45. Very Great! NOISE CANCELING Yes, Bose has also improved the noise canceling. When in quiet mode the headphones put you in a place where the world simply disappears. Each iteration of Bose headphones through the years has improved upon the previous in this area. The Ultra are no different. In fact, when I was testing them out my wife was standing 3 feet from me and trying to talk to me. I never even knew she was talking. This has never happened with my older NC 700. SOUND QUALITY The QC Ultra are more of a spiritual successor to the NC700 than they are the QC45. The sound is much more similar to the NC700. What they retain is the excellent clarity and instrument separation. The mids are just as perfectly present. Also the highs have a very pleasing ring without ever sounding harsh. What was great on the 700 but even better on the Ultra is the bass. Bose says that the new Ultra are now taking samples of sound inside the ear ups and then actively adjusts the bass to sound best dependent on the shape of ears, the seal of the pads, etc. This really does make a difference. I wear glass which compromises the acoustic seal. The Ultra compensates for this and makes the bass sound deeper and have a greater punch than my NC700. So, the sound signature overall is better and gets WAY better with immersive audio. But, we are getting to that. IMMERSIVE AUDIO This is the feature! If you are a music lover then this is the feature which gives the biggest incentive to upgrade from the NC 700. Music with immersive audio just sounds better. I have several setups of actual stereo bookshelf speakers around my house. I always preferred a good pair of music monitors over headphones. Why? Because you can hear and imagine the soundstage in front of you. Good recordings place an orchestra or band members several feet from each-other as you listen. With live listening you can hear the music spread throughout the venue and this is what immersive audio on the Quiet Comfort Headphones does. It places the band a couple feet in front of you. It feels like you can point to and reach out and touch the various vocalist and instruments. It is so great! It is exactly like advertised. Immersive audio makes it sound like you are listening to a good pair of speakers in a room acoustically ideal for premium audio. Now that I have heard it, I can never go back to regular headphones. CONCLUSION There is so much more good that I could say about the Bose Quiet Comfort Ultra headphones. The buttons are well placed and are useful - even the touch-sensitive volume slider works well enough! The app also just works and all the needed settings are there to easily adjust. The carrying case looks premium and is compact. It is smaller than the NC700 case and even more compact than the QC45’s storage option. There are some things I do not like about the headphones. For example, immersive audio for movies is still not as good or immersive as Spacial Audio on Apple’s AirPods Max when watching Dolby content. Also, the placement and function of the buttons is different than what I am used to on the 700. In the end though, I am ecstatic with what Bose has done in their newest iteration of Bose over-the-ear noise canceling headphones. My NC 700 are going on eBay and I look forward to many great years with the Ultra. Well done Bose!

_____ *Pros: -Premium look and feel. -Smells nice. -Spatial audio is very cool and more than a gimmick. -Great passive noise isolation. -Comfortable to wear for hours on end. -Good battery life. -Easy to fold and put away inside the case. _____ *Neutral: -Out of the box audio is so-so. Tune-up required with the Bose Music app. _____ *Cons: -None *** Build Quality and Comfort *** The first thing that impressed upon me when I unboxed the Bose Ultra was how nice and premium it looked and felt. Mine’s the White Smoke color option and I feel it looks more high-end, premium, and classy than the black option. My two previous Bose headphones were black so this was a welcome change of scenery. The sense of premium-ness continues when handling the Ultra – the pleather feels soft and plush, and the plastic components feel dense and silky smooth with no harsh graininess. The padding is soft and comfortable, and the earcups are supple, comfy, and provide good passive noise isolation. The QC Ultra folds, swivels, and tucks away neatly and smoothly with nary a cheap-feeling sound or awkward movements. There was another aspect of the Ultra that I didn’t expect but was pleasantly surprised by – these headphones smell great! Specifically, the Ultra headphone gives off that new car smell scent that I like so much. The scent is strongest on the pleather parts such as the earcups. As for the rest of the Ultra, I have no complaints and I’m quite happy with the entire package. The fit and finish is excellent, the buttons are clickity and responsive, and the capacitive swipe area on the right earcup works perfectly for volume control. I’ve been using the Ultra mostly at work where I work at a cubicle with many colleagues nearby. Some of them are quite noisy, and these headphones provide peace for hours and hours without hurting the top of my head or my ears. After extended use, my ear areas do get a bit sweaty and warm but not uncomfortably so. Ergonomically, the QC Ultra is a Win. *** Audio performance *** I expected great audio fidelity and quality from the Ultras, and I was not left disappointed or pinned with buyer’s remorse. The Ultra lives up to Bose’s hard-earned and well-deserved reputation for quality and slick execution and Bose takes it to a new level by introducing Immersive Audio, which is a fancy spatial audio technology that makes the audio source feel like it’s right there with you and nearby instead of some audio signals leaking out of the earcups. By connecting the Ultra to the Bose Music app, one can choose the Immersive Audio setting of your choice – Off, Still, and Motion. Bose recommends the “Still” option for those sitting down and not moving around much, and the “Motion” option for those who are walking and going to places. I liked both options and used Immersive Audio anytime I was listening to music on the Ultra. It really does add a new sense of audio depth and increases the breadth of the soundstage beyond what “regular” headphones can do. I frankly expected Immersive Audio to be a clever marketing gimmick from Bose that I would try a few times and turn off but it turned out to be more than that – it truly adds something novel and makes the music listening experience more fun and interesting. After getting used to Immersive Audio, other headsets are going to feel more boring and duller. If by any chance you choose not to use the Immersive Audio option, you still get great audio fidelity and quality from the QC Ultra. Just don’t expect a big difference from the outgoing Bose 700 or QC 45 headsets. The active noise cancellation is slightly better in the QC Ultra, but the general audio quality sounds pretty similar to the older headsets. I did notice better bass on the QC Ultras though. Overall, it’s really hard to go wrong by choosing the QC Ultra. The audio quality is excellent, and it’s made fantastic thanks to Immersive Audio (spatial audio). *** Battery life *** Frankly speaking, the battery life is not that much improved over my older Bose QC45 headphones. Still, the endurance level is good enough for my particular situation and I’m content with it. I’m never too far away from a charging cable so battery life hasn’t been an issue for me. *** Is it worth the coin? *** If you got the coin for it, then the QC Ultra headphones are definitely worth it. You’re getting superb active noise cancellation, clean and high-fidelity audio, and with Immersive Audio turned on, a new and interesting way to listen to music both familiar and new. I wouldn’t hesitate recommending the QC Ultra to friends and family. 5 Stars.

I bought these headphones bc of the reviews, they're NOT WORTH the MONEY. The nosie cancellation SUCKS, NOT comfortable, Sucks to SLEEP in. I can still hear my roommates. HORrBILE!!!!
