Great headphones for the gym and travel. Bonus that they are comfortable and have a long battery life

The are more comfortable than my QC700’s. The 700’s had a weird slide adjustment headpiece that was very cumbersome. The sound is excellent and the battery life feels like forever

Always great sound quality and features from Bose. Easy connection and long battery life. Fast charging is a bonus.

Awesome headphones, great sound, great battery, great design, I had the Apple Max 2’s, Bose out performed at every level!

I have the Beats Pro and these blow them out of the water ! The comfort and sound are amazing! The best headphones! Better quality, better noise reduction!

It’s hard to find a headphones that wouldn’t hurt my ears. I have a helix piercing on one ear. This headphones fits just right. Not too snug and not too big. The noise canceling is amazing. At times I’m thinking like I have no headphones on lol. A bit pricey. Happy with my purchased.

I returned Bose qc45 because the connectivity was CRAP; horrifically frustrating. I've since been awaiting these, and they finally arrived. Pricey, but the comfort, material quality and performance of this headset finally lives up to what I expect from Bose. I like that there are physical buttons, and the touch volume feature is dependable. I enjoy the different immersion modes and I particularly appreciate aware mode, for when I do want to hear any smoke alarm, etc (noise cancelling is amazing). With these, I had best phone call (hear and be heard) experience yet. I have yet to use with korg piano and/or ham radio, but so far, this is a keeper already. I've been a Bose customer for many years, and the qc45 experience had me considering divorcing Bose. This qcUltra headset solicits redemption and I am since reasurred of Bose comitment to quality.

LovThe Bose QuietComfort Headphones are a fantastic choice if you want: Excellent, reliable noise cancellation Class‑leading comfort Warm, refined sound quality A trustworthy travel companioned the color and the sound quality, A superb, comfort‑focused ANC headphone that nails the essentials and remains one of the best all‑around choices—just not the most feature‑packed option in the modern market.

Bose clarity at its finest. I've first-time listened to the headphones in the comfort of my mancave. Then finally decided to use outside while doing yard work. Not to mention was listening to 90 2000s rap music so just imagine how terrified I was when hearing gunshots in background lol. They really brought the music to to life.

TLDR: Best ANC headphones on the market with a few fixable flaws. If you want better sounding headphones, be prepared to open up your wallet and hear a lot more of the outside world. If you’re looking for the best ANC headphones out there, the Bose QC Ultra’s are the way to go. This is my first pair of Bose headphones and I’ve been blown away by their ANC performance. I’m not new to the ANC headphone scene-I previously owned the Sony XM4’s and XM5’s, and the Sennheiser Momentum 3’s and 4’s. The QC Ultra’s surpass all of them when it comes to noise cancellation. The ANC is a little more effective than the Sony’s and considerably better than the Sennheiser’s. These aren’t audiophile headphones but for the average listener, like myself, these sound great. I think the Sennheiser’s sound a little better but it’s not a significant advantage. If you’re looking for “higher quality” sounding headphones, you’re going to have sacrifice ANC performance and spend a decent amount more. I’ve tried a few of the more upscale headphones and they do sound better but the ANC isn’t anywhere close to the QC Ultra’s. The build quality is solidly above average. It’s mostly plastic with synthetic leather but adds a touch of luxury with genuine aluminum accents. Outside of the Momentum 3’s, the QC Ultra’s have the best build quality. They’re light but don’t feel or look cheap. Unlike a lot of other headphones in this segment, these do fold so they come with a smaller case. The case isn’t extremely rigid but feels relatively solid. I wouldn’t be worried about these getting crushed when throwing them in a suitcase or backpack. This shouldn’t really be a pro but, yes, you can manually turn the Ultra’s off. So what’s not too hot? The battery life is mediocre/average. Compared to all of the ANC headphones I’ve owned, they have the worst battery life. I use these daily and have to charge them more frequently than the others. It’s not horrible but when compared to the 60 hour (give or take) battery life of the Momentum 4’s, the mediocrity really stands out. For some reason, Bose decided not to give users the option of turning off ANC. I suspect that having that option would improve battery life significantly. The app is ok but the EQ is pretty basic. You can’t save individual sound profiles and easily switch between them like with the Sony’s or Sennheiser’s. Again, I have no idea why they took that route. If enough people complain, hopefully they’ll update the ANC off and EQ through a software update. The last complaint is mostly cosmetic and seems to be an issue with a lot of other headphones. The finish of the ear cups are fingerprint magnets. It doesn’t matter when you’re jamming at home but who wants to be in public with greasy looking headphones. Overall, I really like the QC Ultra’s and will use them until they fall apart. I wanted the most effective ANC headphones and these fit the bill. They sound great and I love using them every day. They’re far from perfect but do the best job of suppressing all that chitter chatter in the background. If you cam get these on sale, i think they’re one of the best bargains available.

Perfect. Great noise cancelling feature. Comfortable to wear on ears as well.

Audio gets no better than this. Very comfortable and easy to connect

First thing you notice is the noise cancelling. It’s kind of wild. The moment you put them on the world just fades out like someone hit mute on reality. Bose has always been strong here and yeah this still feels top tier. But what really got me was how they handle music. The sound is smooth, slightly warm, and super easy to listen to for hours. Nothing feels harsh or fatiguing. Bass is present but not overdone, mids are clean, vocals sit nicely, and everything just feels… polished. There’s also this immersive audio mode which kind of pushes the sound slightly in front of you instead of inside your head. It’s a bit of a “huh that’s cool” moment at first, and then you start enjoying how spacious everything feels. Comfort is honestly ridiculous. You forget you’re wearing them after a while. Soft cushions, not too clampy, and no hotspots even after long sessions. Battery life has been solid too, easily getting through long listening sessions without worrying. Only small nitpick, the controls and app can feel a bit finicky at times, but nothing that ruins the experience. Overall this feels like one of those sit back close your eyes and just enjoy your music kind of headphones. Once you get used to that quiet bubble and smooth sound, it’s hard to go back.

Awesome sound! Great cancellation noise option. Battery last long. Highly recommend

Very nice headphones. Great sound and material quality. Also, they are very comfortable for long trips.

Best headphone I have purchased. Had AirPod max, skullcandy, beats etc etc these are by far the best headphones in terms of sound quality, weight and comfort

I love love love these headphones. As a mom of 4,when i put them on it literally drowns out all the noise. Theyre extremely comfortable as well.

I thought the noise cancelling on my previous pair was impressive, but this one stopped all the crying babies from ruining my flight. The sound is crisp and clean. I even just like to turn them on without music for the peacefulness they create. And that blue is awesome. The only downside is that putting them in the case correctly is not as intuitive as my last pair, but I will figure out what yoga position they have to be in to fit correctly.

Awesome! Even can plug av plug into phones if you're traveling internationally on the airplane and can listen to the movies on the airplane screen. Sound is crisp, bass is deep. Beautiful design. A+

Have had these for years now and they are an amazing product! The color is sleek and great looking! Sound quality is studio quality and all eq levels are fantastic on this
