Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have had several headphones including the Sony XM4, beats, and Sennheiser. So far this has topped my expectations and I love the new design Bose went with. I’ve previously tried the Quietcomforts but if you’re someone who wants to be encapsulated by what they’re listening to, definitely go with the Ultras. I love using the immersive audio mode to really tune out the world. Not to mention, I’d say the Ultras have one of, if not the best noise cancellation that doesn’t leave me with a headache afterwards. I also appreciate that I can customize the level of noise cancellation on top of the usual EQ. I’ve gone on long flights with this and it has great battery life. I’ve charged it 2x so far since purchasing it in May, and I use this daily at work, home and the gym. One last thing to note is that if you’re someone who goes to the gym and is looking for really great headphones to help you focus on your sets, this is the one. The new design also makes the fit so much better where I can confidently do my reps without having to worry about my headphones falling off my head. And for the runners, I’ve had no problems running with these either.

Let me first acknowledge that a lot of reviewers mention these don’t feel as premium as its competitors. And honestly I can’t argue with them on that. But I don’t necessarily feel like they feel cheap. And after coming from very premium feeling B&W headphones, I do really appreciate how light these feel as a result of not using more premium metal and other heavier materials. In terms of sound quality, it’s right on par with the Sony and AirPods Max (both of which I have owned). And the noise canceling is also on par (I would say a bit better than the AirPods Max, but just shy of the Sony). The only reason I dinged a star is because it lacks a feature the Sony does have. It can connect to two devices simultaneously. But you can’t turn that off (i.e. you can’t set it so it can only be connected to one device at any time). This is annoying because I know it does degrade the quality of the bluetooth connection. But mainly because of times where I am using them on a call, open my laptop, and it will connect to my laptop but I won’t be able to hear my call. Overall, I do think if you want to go with anything better, you do need to shell out $200+ more. I would say the Sony are a good alternative, and they are. But I find these far more comfortable, especially if you wear them for any more than 2 hours at a time.

My old Bose headphones finally wore out of many years of use. When I went into Best Buy to consider a replacement I test listened to the many options available, but the sound quality of these headphones was mind blowing. I've been completely stratified with them from sound, comfort and battery time before i have to recharge them. I listened to other brands but in my opinion Bose has the best sound quality.

Great noise canceling, also very light and confortable compared with others. Also de case is light and convenient. Sound great I dont regrrt of buying them.

I adore these headphones, I travel quite a bit and these headphones are not only comfortable, but are truly noise cancelling! The battery lasts me a while, even when using them daily at the gym, gaming, or for calls. I do wish I could make them slightly smaller as they're a bit big for my head, but readjusting every once in a while isn't so bad.

The Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones offer outstanding noise cancellation and a rich, full‑bodied sound that makes music genuinely enjoyable. I especially appreciate how comfortable they are for long listening sessions, thanks to their lightweight build and soft padding. While they’re definitely on the pricey side, their top‑tier ANC performance and overall audio quality make them a solid choice for travel or everyday use.

The Bose Quiet Comfort Ultra wireless noise cancelling headphones in white are just wow! Where to begin? I just got them and couldn't wait, I had to immediately set them up. One comment on the color, it isn't really white but rather a grayish version of white, if you can envision that. They come inside an accessory bag, in the same color, placed on the right side when opening that bag, and a pocket on the left side with your charging cable and plug in cable for times that you cannot use wireleslly. Let's get to the good stuff. I downloaded the Bose app from the Google Store since I have an android phone. The setup was quick and seamless to my phone which is the device that I started with. However, they are made for Apple, but will work with android. You can even create yourcuser name for Bluetooth linking listed in the Bluetooth options and I have never seen that before. Basically, all the controls are on the right side and R&L ears are clearly labeled. One cool thing these have is that rather than turn them off after each use, you can just take them off and they will go to sleep, saving battery, until the next engagement. By the way, the on/off button is also on the right ear and is the Bluetooth small button below the larger control button.Even the loudness is controlled with either a slide up or down slide on the right ear vs. a button. So, these are really noise cancelling when you engage in the immersive sound option. You can either use the immersive feature in "still", and turning your head adjusts the direction of the sound, or you can engage "move," that allows you to change with movement. My teenage years were in the 70s and playing disco in the immersive mode was glorious and wonderfully energetic-Donna Summers never sounded better. This one is a go. ⁶

I used Rtings.com to see their rating of it and it checks out. The noise cancellation is the best I have had (only other one was AirPods Pro 2). The transparency mode is also just as good as the AirPods Pro 2. The battery life is also good. I do like that it can connect to multiple devices at once for easy switching between devices. The only downside is the cost which no way should any headphone like this be 400 dollars. But in saying that I don’t regret buying it.

These have been great for my flights where ive been seated near children lately. The noise cancelling helps drown out crying or the engine noise. I used them in place of ear muffs when traveling to areas that were snowing and it helped protect my ears from the cold, and i could still hear my friends talking when i had it on the awareness setting. They were comfortable enough to wear for longer periods of time and the batter would usually last me the whole day out

Bose is a leader in active noise cancelling and have been around for a few decades, I've been using Quiet Comfort products for a long time and they never stop impress me! QuietComfort Ultra replaced my old QC35 pair of headphones and it's totally worth the upgrade! Great build quality and new Bluetooth standard support with longer wireless range, USB-C charging and of course excellent noise cancelling performance. Headphones are controlled just by 2 buttons and touch sensitive volume control slider on the right ear cup (sliding power switch that my QC35 used to have is gone and I actually kinda miss the ability to tell the power state just by looking at the switch position). Controls are smooth and voice annunciations are now brief, Bose Music phone app is available to look at the settings visually. QC Ultra introduced a brand new Immersive Audio feature - it expands sound stage so instead of hearing music "in the center of your head" you can actually make it feel like you are in front of the sound stage (and it either stays that direction when you move or stage can move with you making it feel like you are listening to the speakers in the room, not headphones). Noise cancelling performance is actually very good for the size and weight of the headphones (I'm comparing to professional aviation Bose A20 set) - air conditioning noise, fans, street noise just goes away. Bose products do last a very long time and you can actually buy a replacement ear cushion set when they wear out. I would definitely recommend this headset, it will serve you well for many years.

These are by far the most amazing and reliable headphones I have ever used. The battery life is absolutely amazing, as a person who is listening to music constantly I don’t have to constantly keep them charged. The music quality all the way to the bass is incredible and don’t even get me started on the noise cancellation ha! It really tunes the outside world out and it makes your listening experience 100 out of 10. I love these so much I bought one for my little brother this year for Christmas.

Got these for my wife who generally doesn't like to wear any type of headphones. She now wears them to the gym and around the house. I have 2 pair (including Ultra) and my son has a pair so that makes 4. I guess that means we like them. Sound is great and they are comfortable even on my gargantuan head. The physical controls could be easier to use but it's not a major issue.

Connect to LG tv was EZ and often auto reconnects. Extremely pleased with this so Pop can snooze …I watch movies. Excellent to connect with my Surface Computer when I’m needing privacy. Meeting/class setting. Listen to audiobooks often…. This headset is soft around the ears. The pad on top seems to be right for me. I do have to adjust it if I have been working for l hours. Which leads to the next point. This headset has a good charge life. At least so far this one has done incredible. (I have been using earbuds… which of course cannot last but very pleased. Though all those uses are wonderful and the ability to keep the world out is fabulous you will definitely want to put your favorite music on sit back and feel the sound. Overall I’m pleased with performance, connectivity, sound, comfort, and appearance. By the way I’m a grandma too if that makes any difference.

Excellent sound, extremely comfortable with decent battery life. I enjoy them a lot.

It's April, I have suffered through an episode of shingles on my face that has left me with lasting numbness. Ramsey Hunt Syndrome. I have no sensation of feeling in and around my right ear. It has left me with the inability to wear my Pixel Buds Pro. FAST FORWARD: After research I chose to purchase the Bose QC Ultra over ear headphones and they are a God-send. Not only is the sound quality as amazing as advertised but the comfort is beyond belief. They work excellently with my glasses and do not cause me discomfort. I can listen to things again without interfering with others around me. These have been a win-win. I highly recommend even though my situation vastly differs from others. Lastly, the sound quality and noise cancelling is phenomenal. Well worth the price even though they have no water resistance rating.

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 have try them all…from Marshall - JBL- apple airpod Max- Sony XM5- all of them sound more or less oK. This Bose is by far the best.. the sound is just incrrdible… it is very lourd..( finally) ..very light… well build.. connectivity is top and the app that comes with is awesome..(I spend months of test and research).. this is the best achievement in BT and ANC headphones..Thank you Bose!!!

comfortable to wear in both relaxation and workout settings. Easy to connect to iphone and high sound quality

AMAZING. I originally bought the M5 but didnt like the way they fit my head so I returned them for these. Way better! ANC is better, sound quality is better, fit is better. Works perfectly with my iPhone. Would absolutely recommend!

The Bose QuietComfort Ultra headphones stand out for their exceptional comfort and refined sound quality, making them a great choice for extended listening. The noise cancellation is among the best available, effectively removing distractions, while the immersive audio adds depth and clarity to music and movies. They feel premium, travel well, and deliver a consistently smooth, balanced listening experience.
