    They feel good to wear, sound quality was great, but they trap heat and my ears get very hot wearing them. Not really a pleasant feeling or something you’d think would happen. If you don’t run hot or plan on exercising in them, sound quality is great.

      Hi there, and thank you for sharing your experience! We’re glad to hear that you’re enjoying the sound quality and comfort of the headphones, those are key strengths of the product, and it’s great to know they’re delivering on that front.
      We understand your concern about heat buildup around the ears, and you're absolutely right, this can happen, especially with over-ear headphones in warmer environments or during physical activity. The snug fit that helps deliver excellent noise cancellation can also limit airflow, which may lead to warmth over time.

      While this isn’t entirely avoidable due to the design, taking short breaks or using them in cooler settings can help improve comfort. Your feedback is valuable, and we’ll be sure to pass it along to our product team for future improvements.

    Headphones have a great sound easy to use with IPhone unfortunately you were supposed to get three months of Apple Music and you YouTube TV +3 months of serious XM what that did not happen went back to Best Buy and nobody could figure out how to get. It said it’s an ongoing problem.

    Overall, these sound great and I'd consider them the near-pinnacle of audio quality for over the ear listening headphones. The long battery life is a huge plus as well for constant work travel. However, they do start to get a bit uncomfortable after several hours of wear, a tiny bit more padding could go a long way.

    The Bose QC Ultra Headphones sound excellent. Great sound quality that you would expect from a Bose product. As a mobile DJ, I own several Bose products. I have had no issues with the volume in the headphones being low. Volume/sound has exceeded expectations. I also like the Bose in-app equalizer for customizing the sound to my preference. I purchased the headphones to use in the gym and while traveling on public transportation/flights. I purchased them while on sale which was an added plus.

    I've purchased several gaming headsets, both wired and wireless, but I was never satisfied. My expectations were exceeded when I decided to try my luck with the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Wireless Noise Cancelling headphones. Phenomenal headset with three varying levels of noise cancelling for when you need to focus. Also, comes with a sturdy case for when you need to take it with you, such as on an airplane. Lastly, this is a Bluetooth device, so there is no need to mess with proprietary dongles that other headsets come with. Well worth it. Trust, me don't waste your time with "gaming" headsets.

    Bose QC Gen 1. Not impressed but good enough

    Meant to buy the latest version of the quiet comfort but the sales person gave me the first Gen instead. I was quite disappointed. However, the sound and quality of the headphones were fine. The quality isn’t the best but definitely fine for everyday use. The case was also a bonus. Great for travel. The feature that let you hear your surrounding is not good. The sound is very artificial and thin. I’m not impressed. If you’re not used to noise canceling, be aware of the pressure. It feels a little odd. Perhaps it’s something you’ll get use to over time.

    I love my bose quiet comfort ultra headphones. I tried the bose quiet comfort and the JBL noise canceling headphones and they sound good but I wasn't quite satisfied. I needed something to cancel out background noise when I'm on the phone so the other person can't hear the noise in my background. I got them to wear when I'm at work and they are great. I can hear the person I'm talking to without me or the other person hearing all the noise in the backgroung. The music dounds like it's all around your head. I gind myself looking around to see if the music is coming from something else even though I can't hear anything else around me when I have them on. I couldn't be happier. They are worth the price.

    Good Design, Poorly Made

    I used these headphones for about 8 months before the left ear cushion starting splitting at the (glued) seam. It's unfortunate because they were working for me. Pros: -They generally sound crisp and rich. They're not the audiophile's headphone, but they're solid for everyday use. -They are pretty comfortable, even after hours of wear with glasses. -Passthrough is pretty solid. Cons: - They're mostly made of cheap plastic which you can hear occasionally creak while you use them. Not the biggest deal but it can get distracting. -Bluetooth is pretty buggy. I can get over this, too, but it's pretty annoying switching between devices. -Like all Bose headphones, the ear cushions are practically disposable. They're synthetic and wear out really quickly. These ones just ripped at the seam. These headphones cost $400 and I expect better. Even though past models were made of plastic, they still felt more solid than this. The QC Ultras are simply not built to last and I shouldn't have to replace the cushions annually for that amount of money.

    I've been a true fan for bose for the past decade. My work requires international travel and i cannot board a plane without these! I like a lot of the new features, but still allows for direct connection. I'll stick with this brand! Should not that these are an update from my last layout which are 11 years old and still usable, so now i have 2 great pair in my collection

    I am so surprised at how comfortable this is. So if you have a budget, def get the QCU gen 1 is good enough and the sound quality is great still. Used this on a 10 hour flight and did not have any ear issues as it was comfortable.

    Great sounding headphones with ANC

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    These headphones are great if ANC is your primary requirement. No other headphone can beat this level of noise canceling and I have Bose as well as B&W PX7S3. The sound quality is bit lagging and EQ is very basic. So there are not much options of customizing sound to your taste. These headphone also have great microsphones, so it works very well in office. You can adjust the noise canceling levels to your liking. There is no mute button on the headset, so thats a bummer.
