The Bose QuietComfort Ultra headphones are hands-down the best noise-cancelling headphones I’ve used. The noise cancellation is absolutely top-tier—whether I’m on a noisy flight or just trying to focus at home, it blocks out distractions effortlessly. The Aware Mode is also super helpful when I need to stay aware of my surroundings without taking the headphones off.
The sound quality is phenomenal. Clear highs, rich mids, and deep bass that doesn’t feel overwhelming. Whether I’m listening to music, podcasts, or taking calls, the audio is crisp and immersive. Plus, the spatial audio feature adds a whole new dimension, especially when watching movies.
Comfort-wise, they live up to the QuietComfort name. Super soft ear cushions and a lightweight build make them perfect for long sessions without any discomfort. Battery life is solid too—I easily get through a couple of days without needing to recharge.
Pricey? Yes. But the quality, comfort, and performance make it totally worth it. If you’re serious about noise cancellation and premium sound, these are a no-brainer.

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.

**Review for Bose Over-Ear Headphones**
I recently upgraded to the ultra-quiet Bose Over-Ear headphones, and I couldn't be happier with my decision! From the moment I put them on, I knew I had made the right choice. They are incredibly comfortable—so much so that I often forget I'm wearing them. The design is perfect for long listening sessions without any discomfort.
I initially purchased the basic model that was $100 cheaper, but after trying these premium headphones, I quickly returned the basics. The immersive listening experience is truly remarkable! The sound quality is incredible, with crisp highs and deep lows that make every song feel alive.
One of my favorite features is the adjustable settings. I can switch to "Aware" mode to stay alert to my surroundings or crank it up to block out everything for complete focus. This versatility makes them perfect for any environment, whether I'm working, traveling, or just relaxing at home.
Overall, the upgrade was absolutely worth it, and I highly recommend these headphones to anyone looking for a top-notch audio experience. Bose has truly delivered with these, and I can’t imagine going back to anything else!

They offer outstanding noise isolation performance, effectively blocking out ambient noise, which is beneficial for commuting or office environments. The sound quality is clear and sensitive, with a punchy bass and excellent instrumental staging. Users have noted that the headphones are comfortable for extended wear, though some mention that the design isn’t as luxurious as some competitors.

Bose QC ultra is very comfortable and has pretty good NC -better airpods Pro 1 and senheiser momentums. I faced a lot of QC issues and had to return them twice .I could hear a clicky sound when i moved my head and music wasnt playing. Sound is good , but senheiser momentums are better. Immersive mode is a hit or miss depends on the track.On some songs it completely changes the sound stage. Battery life has been poor for me. Sometimes it will go from 80 to 20 in just standby which is weird. Touch slider control for volume is a pain to use and very flimsy.

I had the previous version of these headphones and loved them. I also have the QC Ultra earbuds and really appreciate the immersive audio setting. While at my local Best Buy, I found a really good deal on an open box set of these in Lunar Blue and bought them thinking immersive mode would be even better on them.
That said, I have no complaints on the sound quality or the comfort of the headphones with long term use during work. I DO however have a complaint about not being able to use the audio cable without the headphones being powered on!
This seems like a no brainer. Use the cable when your headphones are dead or if you want to save your battery. The previous version worked this way, but these don't. If you plan on taking a really long flight, or if you know you're going to kill the battery on these and want to use the jack, you might want to get something else. Uploading a screenshot from the manual (pg 33 English version) that says exactly this.

I've been using Bose headphones for almost 20 years, and these QuietComfort Ultras really live up to the name. The sound is as amazing as ever—maybe even better than what I remember from older models. I use them every day, and they've been super reliable. They're light, super comfortable, and the color is just perfect. Honestly, these headphones are part of my daily routine now. Looking forward to another 20 years with Bose.

These are my absolute favorite noise canceling headphones on the market and they’re super comfortable the Sony ANC Headphones are overrated overpriced and lower quality plastic build material. The new Bose noise cancellation headphones are perfect for me.

Bose were my first headphones and my second so I generally try Bose before anything else. I tried the ultra & less than 1 week of daily use my ears were sweating profusely so I just wiped them off and continued but at then end of the day my ear and the skin totally surrounding it was bright red and itched worse than a 5yr old with chicken pox on his arm while wearing a cast for a broken arm(personal experience) it was a nightmare! I rubbed my ears and skin so hard and vigorously they started bleeding and swelling. I love Bose’s reliability and their new immersion sound but nothing is worth the pain they caused me. So if you do NOT have skin sensitivity I’d go for it in a second but if you do please go with a different pair your ears will thank you I ended up going for the new Sonos Ace headphones they do not and have not disappointed me yet. So go ahead and make your choice in my own personal opinion they rank as follows and this should not be construed as definitive or authoritative just my own personal opinions 1) Bose Ultra Over ear Headphones (if you aren’t sensitive like me 2) Sonos Ace Headphones only problem is app is sometimes a pain in the butt 3) Apple Max headphones the biggest waste of money for the fewest features imaginable all at a price that when it was announced in the strategy meeting everyone looked at the guy talking with look that said are you out of your mind no truly smart person will go for that.
