Customer Ratings & Reviews

To me the sound quality on these are better than Beats. The soundstage seems clearer and crisper. I also like the fact that the Bose app has a customizable EQ whereas you’re stuck with the preset ones on your iPhone for the Beats. The noise cancellation on these is excellent. A single charge lasts a few days while using immersive audio and lasts even longer if I switch to aware (no noise canceling). Some people have indicated Bluetooth connection drops on iPhone but I haven’t had any problems — they stayed connected for an entire east coast to west coast flight. I generally don’t use over ear headphones for phone or video calls so I can’t comment on call quality.

Purchased as "open box" with $60 discount. This was an upgrade from much older QuietComfort 35's that began giving me "buzzing" noise. Using these as a phone headset in addition to listening capabilities is a real plus. I've been flying with these and find the noise cancellation capabilities to be excellent. Battery life seems longer than older model. The longer time having to hold the start-up button is a little annoying, but not a big deal. Note that when using as a phone headset that noise in your environment (e.g. paper rustling, outside sounds) will be fully heard by the person with whom you're talking, but not much by you because of the headphones' noise canceling capabiities.

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.

Comfortable, great sound, great noise cancellation. Great value and purchase at the sale price.

Not sure what happened, but I was expecting to be blown away with the sound this produces but fell short. The main complaint is the lack of bass, it’s quite flat. I will sometimes pull out my $30 headset to listen to music/videos where I want to feel rumble in my ears. What is good about this device, is the noise cancellation, ear comfort, and light weight on head. I struggle with turning this off/on, since the Bluetooth button is also the power off/on button.

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.

Bose really did well with this headphones. Very comfertable, immersive sound, wind block option and many features.

I love my Beats headphones! They tune out 98% of noise that surrounds me in a fairly loud room. The sound quality is the best headphones I’ve ever owned, which has been a lot. The battery life is amazing. Fully charged can last me a full week. I’ve watched 2 movies that weee 2 1/2 hours long and I was still at 89%. I can’t say enough about these Beats headphones, because I would run out of space. I love the soft ear cushion. It fits snug around my ears. Easy to set up the wireless Bluetooth to any device. Best headphones I’ve ever purchased! You won’t regret purchasing Beats Bluetooth wireless headphones

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!

Though I ended up returning these, I loved the comfort and sound quality. At first, I wasn't too fond of the spatial audio or Immersive feature as initially, it sounded too articial. After some days using it in this mode and I swtiched back to the Sony XM5s at had bought at the same time, I preferred the sound in Immersive over the XM5s. For me, the Bose did not run as "hot" as the Sony's. The XM5s made my ears hot and the Bose didn't. I live in Chicago and commute on buses and trains, and the Bose kept tuned out my surroundings during my rides. Outside in the cold, the Aware mode sounded almost as good as the Transperancy mode on the AirPods Maxs (returned those too because they were too heavy) and kept my ears warm. The QuietComfort Ultras are great if you commute and travel a lot like I do. Ultimately, someone gave me the Bose 700s for free and that was the only reason why I ended up returning these. If that did not happen, I recommend these over the Sonys, though the XM5s have superior battery life to both the Bose and Airpod Max.

These have become my favorite go-to listening device for music. The noise cancelling is incredible. The sound quality is just what I'm looking for vs. my old Samsung Galaxy Buds 2. I often find myself reaching for these more often than not. Would gladly buy again.

So comfortable with a really wonderful sound quality. Take these with me on long flights and the battery lasts forever. I'm so thrilled with my purchase. Can't be without these on long hauls. Noise cancelling is a lifesaver with screaming babies.

Sounds better than the Bose 700 I have. Better bass. The immersive audio could use an update for better head tracking. I’m sure a new firmware is in the works. I didn’t realize it doesn’t have the touch sensor on the earcup like Bose 700 before getting them. I think they got away from it to make room for bigger battery. Overall satisfied with the purchase.

I can honestly say this is the best headset I’ve ever bought. I’ve been using my Bose headphones for about two weeks now, and the sound quality is amazing. Everything feels so clear, and the audio is incredibly smooth. Whether I’m listening to music or watching videos, the experience is just on another level. Definitely worth it!

Excellent head one . I have used all the headphones from Bose, this is the best I have ever used . It’s made so light , very flexible and soft in use and best is its sound , immersive , noise cancellation so effective, I slept so easily in the plane . It’s just excellent .

Amazing headphones. They have better bass than my QC 35 II. The battery lasts a long time, and the over-ear fit is more comfortable. Excellent Bluetooth range.

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.

This is a great pair of cans. Maybe not the top of the audiophile ladder, but great for travel and working, if you don’t get too sweaty. They connect fairly well, but will become disconnected fairly quickly.

Bag talk, hmm It's quiet, ain't no back talk Quiet, ain't no back talk. They good, people keep sneaking up on me like ninjas. The battery life is decent too. Recommend if you are looking for the best noise cancelling headphones even if they are expensive. You can get 80-90 percent of the performance from Anker or Sony but bose has that last little bit that sends them over the bar.

The product is outstanding and offers excellent comfort, effectively blocking noise. However, it's not significantly superior to the Bose 700, which provides more hands-on options and greater control in noise cancellation. A crucial tip: After installing the Bose app on your phone, remember to disable Bluetooth on your phone. This step is essential to prevent interruptions during computer use, such as when receiving phone calls. If you're in a Zoom meeting, an incoming call can disrupt the session, silencing applications like YouTube or Zoom. You can still take the call, but to ensure uninterrupted listening, it's best to turn off the phone's Bluetooth while using these headphones. Initially, you'll need to use the Bose app to set up the quiet mode and other features before turning off the phone's Bluetooth.
