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.

Review: Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones The Bose QuietComfort Ultra headphones are truly exceptional, living up to the premium standard Bose is known for. From the moment you put them on, you’re greeted with unparalleled comfort—thanks to the plush ear cushions and lightweight design, making them perfect for long listening sessions. The sound quality is phenomenal. Bose has always delivered balanced audio, but the QuietComfort Ultra takes it a step further with incredibly clear highs, rich mids, and deep, punchy bass. Whether you’re listening to music, podcasts, or watching movies, the sound experience is immersive and detailed. Noise cancellation on these headphones is next-level. It effectively silences background noise, whether you’re on a plane, in a noisy office, or outdoors on a golf course. The aware mode is equally impressive, allowing you to stay aware of your surroundings when needed. I use these headphones regularly outdoors, at the gym, and even while playing golf, and they never fail to deliver. The secure yet comfortable fit ensures they stay in place during physical activities, and the durable build holds up well in various conditions. The battery life is a standout feature—lasting over 20 hours on a single charge. It’s so convenient not to worry about charging them constantly. Whether I’m on the course, at the gym, or commuting, I know they’ll last all day without any interruptions. The touch controls and seamless Bluetooth connectivity are intuitive and make using the headphones effortless. Pairing with devices is instant, and the connection remains stable even when moving around. While the price is on the higher end, the QuietComfort Ultra headphones are worth every penny for anyone seeking premium audio quality, superior noise cancellation, and lasting comfort. They’re a fantastic investment for audiophiles, frequent travelers, outdoor enthusiasts, gym-goers, or anyone who values a top-notch listening experience.

I recently purchased the Bose QuietComfort Ultra headphones after a lot of back and forth. I was torn between the AirPods Max and these, and I’ll admit—it wasn’t an easy decision. Both have their own merits, but after spending some serious time weighing my options, the QuietComfort Ultra came out on top. The deciding factors for me were comfort, weight, features for the price, and noise cancellation. First off, these headphones are noticeably lighter than the AirPods Max, which makes a huge difference during long listening sessions. I can wear them for hours without any discomfort or that heavy feeling on my head. The ear cups are plush, and the overall fit is snug without being too tight. As for the noise cancellation—Bose does what it does best. I’ve tested them on flights, in coffee shops, and even during my daily commute, and they block out everything. It’s almost eerie how effective it is. Whether I’m listening to music or just enjoying some peace and quiet, these headphones deliver. What really impressed me is the range of features packed into these headphones for the price. The sound quality is rich and balanced, and the companion app offers plenty of customization options to tweak it just the way you like. Battery life is solid, too—I’ve yet to worry about running out of juice during a busy day. If you’re on the fence like I was, here’s my advice: go for the QuietComfort Ultra. They’re not just headphones—they’re an investment in comfort and quality sound. Bose knocked it out of the park with these.

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!!

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.

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.

I’ll start by saying I have never been a Bose fan. Most likely because I listen to mostly hip hop and I’m somewhat a bass head. Recently this has changed as I travel for work and really prioritize anc as I’m constantly in airports and on planes. For comparison, I've tried the Sony xm4s and 5s, neither fit my small head, momentum 4s, AirPod max, and beat studio pros. These are the best sounding head phones out of any I’ve tried in multiple genres, and I’m able to use the eq settings to get the bass I want. These fit extremely well, no discomfort on long flights, and without question have the best anc of all (AirPod max and xm5 are somewhat close). I never thought I would ever be a Bose fan but here we are! Picture attached just to show I’m somewhat addicted to headphones lol!

The Bose headphones are absolutely amazing! The sound quality is top-notch, with deep bass and crystal-clear audio that makes music, calls, and videos a pleasure. The noise-canceling feature is incredibly effective, perfect for blocking out distractions in busy environments. They’re also super comfortable to wear, even for long periods, and the battery life is excellent. While they might be a bit pricey, the quality and performance are well worth it.

This has to be my favorite pair of headphones of all time. Let’s start first with the blue color, it’s a very dark blue and it looks absolutely gorgeous in this color. Next is the price, I ended up purchasing these on Black Friday when they were about $329 which I think is a steal for these. Next is the comfort! I can’t emphasize this enough! My glasses people these are the headphones for you! The comfort is the best part of these headphones. I wear glasses and various types and I never have that head crushing feeling after wearing these for a long time. Next is battery life it does the job! It lasts me alll day! I took it on a flight from jfk to Jakarta Indonesia and that’s not a short flight about 18 hours and it lasts the whole thing with about 15% left. Sound quality, now it is important to understand everyone has a different ear for sound and I prefer my bass cranked up and it is also equally important to stress to DOWNLOAD THE APP to access the EQ settings for thesr headphones. The bass is absolutely PHENOMENAL, it’s not muddy at all and it does a great job in delivering the bass to my liking and does exceptionally well with hip hop and rap music. J Cole, 50, K. Dot (etc) Now if you aren’t a bass head you can also tune the bass down as well as the mids and treble to your liking. Lastly is the ANC, the ANC is on a whole different level. I mean it’s almost scary how quiet it gets, and when you got something playing you wouldn’t even know a bus is flying by. In conclusion I have to say for full price it’s a little TGH but if you wait for the sales price! Absolutely give it a try! It’s sealed in my number 1 favorite headphones for a long time I even bought 2 pairs.

Bose outdid themselves with these hands down to them. I bought them because my 6 yr old Beets passed away and I had an upcoming business trip. Attended a meeting at the airport and the noose cancelling was above and beyond. I kid you not when I tell you that I didn't even liaten when they started boarding my flight and the folks on the call didn't hear any background noise either. On the plane I activated the immersive mode and best audio I've heard so far. I've worn them while working the entire day and theybare so comfortable, don't hurt my ears and battery lasts for around 4 days straight. Don't walk...run to get these

I got the Bose QuietComfort Ultra in White Smoke, and im happy i did. The sound quality is amazing and really immersive. The noise-canceling feature works wonders, They’re also super comfortable to wear for long hours, which is a huge plus for me. The design is sleek and stylish, and the White Smoke color looks fantastic. I love that they’re easy to connect to my phone and have a decent battery life. I can use them for hours without needing to recharge. Overall, I highly recommend the Bose QuietComfort Ultra. They’ve made my listening experience so much better.

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.

I researched and had my eye on these Bose headphones for a couple months. I purchased while on sale and truly enjoy the sound quality and features. Easy to setup and use. Best sound quality of all headphones i every purchased or tested.

The good. The sound quality, noise cancellation and battery life are excellent and what you’d expect. The bad. The part that they fold at makes them feel cheep and they make squeaky noises when flexed from time to time at this point. I think if we were worried about size that much we’d get earbuds so I don’t see the point of it in the first place. It also seems like they would break easily because of this. The ultra headphones didn’t seem as comfortable as the regular one’s also but just by a little. Overall they are good headphones but I’d suggest getting them on sale to really make it worth the money.

This Is By Far The Best Bose Branded Headset I've Ever Owned. First Off, The Sound Quality It Projects Is Truly Amazing. There Is More Bass Distributed In Comparison To The QC 45 Which I Love But The Icing On The Cake, I Must Say Is Bose Implemented Immersive Audio Into These Which Left Me Breathless Upon Trying Out The Demo In The App. The Comfort And Noise Cancellation Is Second To None. Highly Recommend 10/10 !!!

Wow, just wow… I used to have the AirPod Max’s and I fell in love with them, I still felt that the price didn’t make any sense. I thought I wouldn’t find any better headphones than Apple’s but boy oh boy, this are excepcional. 1. Quality : headband it’s pretty comfortable just like the ear cups, I could listen to music for hours and not get irritated by such. The frame is a mixture of plastic and aluminum (if im correct) but they feel great. 2. Price : it’s a great price for what you’re getting 3. Pairing mode : you can connect several devices but you can only switch back and forth between 2 devices of which you can select in their app. Pretty easy 4. App : really good app, it shows tips and tricks 5. Audio Quality : BEST NC OVERALL, better than apple 6. Case : Listen, it’s just perfect and compact

If you don't pay much attention to the world of audio, it may surprise you to discover that Bose is a surprisingly divisive brand. There's a vocal, mostly online community that will bash anything Bose. “Bose is overpriced!”, they say. “No highs, no lows, must be Bose”, they say. I’m not a fan of every Bose product I’ve used. For example, whenever I try out my old AE2s in hopes that maybe I’ll appreciate them more, I’m always let down. But for every loser they make, there’s a few winners. I have a set of circa-90s 301s in my living room that I thrifted, and they really do sound great. I have a Bose sound system in my car, and I love it. I still use a Bose Wave Radio by my bed. The QuietComfort Ultra are a winner. They might actually be the best product Bose has ever made - their pinnacle. Peak Bose, you can say. The QuietComfort Ultra are Bose's newest high-end noise cancelling model, following up the Noise Cancelling 700 - which received some mixed reactions but have a bit of a dedicated fanbase. While the fit and finish isn't exactly on the level of this headphone's predecessor, and while I do prefer the look of the 700s, Bose has achieved a decent medium here. I remember people complaining about the metal build of the 700s being too heavy, and the Ultras don't feel like that at all. They’re incredibly comfortable and they don’t have the clamping force that people complained about on the old model. The Ultras do definitely feel lighter, and as a result they feel flimsier - but really Bose is sort of in a lose-lose situation here. They don’t feel cheap, but they don’t feel as nice as the 700s. They just feel like headphones. If I had to give them credit for one thing, if you get the right color, they look spectacular - I have the Diamond colorway, and it’s gorgeous. The moment you put them on, you can tell just how many years of engineering and care went into these. Bose is such an interesting company to me because they're an audio company that basically does weird things that no one else would ever do, while basically being /the/ most well known name in audio outside of maybe Apple, I guess. Amar Bose, the company’s founder, went on a plane ride in the late 70s and tried out a pair of the headphones the airline given to him. He hated the experience. The background noise was so distracting that he pulled out a notepad and drew up a preliminary design for noise cancelling headphones on the flight. It took a decade and $50 million to turn that concept into a workable product. Bose were the first company to market any noise cancelling headphones - to pilots in the late 80s and to the general public in 2000. I sound like I’m writing an advertisement right now, but I just wanted to give some context here. There’s bits and pieces of technology that I don’t really think much about, in that context - but the QuietComfort Ultras just feel different. Their noise cancelling is absolutely superb. They just… work. There have been times I’ve used them with no music playing and I’ve taken them off and I’ve been astonished about how much of the noise around me is just gone. If you have sensory issues like me, these can be a lifesaver. Just on that basis alone, I’d recommend them. But they’re headphones. /Bose/ headphones. How do they sound? I have a pair of Sony MDR-1AM2s, which are now discontinued but I've always loved them. They don't noise cancel, and they're wired, but they've been my go-to set for just listening to music out and around. Switching between them and the Bose, I was kind of surprised. The Sonys feel a bit warmer and a bit more bass-heavy, but honestly I prefer a slightly colder sound and that's where the QuietComfort Ultras shine. There's a few songs with prominent basslines where I still prefer the Sonys, but I was kind of surprised at first to find quite a few songs where I actually prefer the Bose. What's even more surprising to me is that I barely EQ'd them. In the app, it includes a built-in equalizer. I had the Bose NC 700s momentarily, and also tried the Sennheiser Momentum 4s (which, for the record, sounded great) - but with both, I couldn't really get the sound I wanted from the equalizers in both of their apps. Which, for me, is a problem because I'm an iPhone user and there's no other way of getting a more advanced EQ. With the Ultras, the sound I want might change just a little over time, but I'm never frustrated with how they sound. In fact, my current setting is basically just tuning the mids down 1db and sometimes adjusting the treble a little bit. That's it. Now, they do sound a bit more analytical, more flat. Maybe I’m just biased by being used to my MDR-1AM2s, but the Ultras actually sound a bit bright to my ears. These are headphones that make good recordings sound great and make bad recordings sound bad. To some people, that’s a good thing, and to others that isn’t. I reckon that most people will think these sound great and won’t mess with the EQ at all. However, if you mainly listen to bass-heavy music and you want your head to shake, these won’t give you that. The Sennheiser Momentum 4s will, and they'll give you more battery life, but they don't have the Bose's noise cancelling or honestly the Bose's ease of use. The Sennheisers are annoying sometimes. The Bose really aren't. The Sony XM5s might give you a bit more bass, too, but those have the hinge issue that everybody on the r/SonyHeadphones subreddit will tell you about the second excitedly you post there with the XM5s you just bought. Are the QuietComfort Ultras the world’s best sounding headphones that will wow everybody at CanJam? No, but that’s not what they’re meant to be. For most people, they’ll sound great - and their noise cancelling alone is enough to seal the deal. They look nice and fancy. They have an “Immersive Audio” mode, which while it’s sort of useless to me and makes everything sound worse honestly, is still kind of fun to try out sometimes. Don’t worry, you can turn it off. They have a nice case. If you have expendable income and all you want to do is listen to “Are You Jimmy Ray” by Jimmy Ray at 50% volume on a 15 hour flight in some semblance of actual peace, these are the headphones for you. The Bose QuietComfort Ultra are a technological marvel designed for people who just want to sit back and relax and listen to their favorite music - or just listen to nothing at all.

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).

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.
