Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

I’m absolutely thrilled with these headphones! Honestly, this is one of the best purchases you can make on the market, especially at a price close to $300—I got mine for $298 with a discount. The regular price of $449 feels a bit high, but in my opinion, it’s worth it and easily beats Apple-shi3t or Sony alternatives. The sound quality is phenomenal—crisp, detailed, and immersive. For sports, it might not be the obvious choice, but for home use, it’s simply amazing. Traveling? Perfect. The noise cancellation works exactly as advertised—really impressive and effective. Overall, if you want top-notch comfort, superb audio, and unbeatable noise cancellation, these headphones are a fantastic choice. Highly recommend! (wait discounts :))

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

Very comfy, I can see how ppl say it’s not “loud enough” but these are perfect, their never uncomfortable loud just like the perfect amount to me. Their really comfy and don’t hurt my head after using them for so long. I have a pretty big head and ear lol but they fit comfortably. The noise cancellation is the best and what I love the most. Helps a lot when getting overstimulated by sounds in public. If u want really painfully loud headphones these are not for u, if u want to escape the sounds from the world and listen to music for hours without getting a headace these are for you. Very portable and looks very good. Had them for under 2 months I still use them regular and daily

I have to say, after a weekend of use with different media; music and movies, these are wonderful headphones. Bose finally has integrated immersive sound (basically, dolby atmos) and the results are awstounding. The help of noise cancellation puts you in the music. The quality of construction is superb as usual. But, my favorite is how light they are on my head. This is something Bose has mastered. All and all, an A + for sound quality, construction and design.

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.

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.

Battery lasts a long time, they are comfortable, and the noise canceling is good.

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.

**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!

these are the best and most useful over the head headphones. You can have on a plane, especially with the noise canceling feature. You can really tell the difference with having them on and off, and it helps reduce anxiety on flights.

Very comfy, great battery life, noise cancelling & sound quality! Only downside is that if you have a small head like me, it slips off when working out or laying down

Great over the ear headphones. Upgraded my 10+ year old Bose QC headphones for these and was blown away. Great sound great noise cancelling. Still has a cord so great for flights but Bluetooth so great mobility.good battery life. Easy to use controls.

I've had my Bose QuietComfort Ultra Wireless Noise Cancelling headphones for over a year now, and I'm still blown away by their exceptional performance. The noise cancellation is incredibly effective, allowing me to fully immerse myself in music or movies without distractions. As a longtime fan of Bose speakers, I wasn't surprised by the impressive sound quality, but it's great to see the brand deliver similar excellence in their headphones. The comfort and design are also top-notch, making them perfect for long listening sessions or flights. Highly recommend!

I love these headphones! They are lightweight & comfortable on my ears. I don’t feel like they are causing strain on my head & neck like other headphones. I love the case & protection it offers. The noice cancelling feature is superb!

As a music producer with a keen ear for sound quality, I carefully considered several factors before purchasing the Bose QC Ultra headphones. While the AirPods Pro Max have a strong reputation, I found them to be somewhat cumbersome. Similarly, after testing two different Beats models, I was disappointed by their lack of innovation despite being recent releases. I initially bought the standard Bose QuietComfort headphones but decided to upgrade to the Ultras, and the additional $100 was well worth it. The noise-canceling capabilities of the QC Ultra are unmatched, and the app integration with my iPhone is seamless. The option to connect to multiple devices simultaneously is a standout feature. There is a slight learning curve, as with any high-quality headphones, but after a week of use, they become second nature. I also appreciate the prompt, same-day delivery from Best Buy, which has proven to be a reliable and preferred shopping experience over other platforms. Having used the Bose QC Ultra headphones for about a month, I’ve had zero issues. The battery life is impressive, lasting several days on a single charge. The ‘Immersion Mode’ effectively blocks out external noise without compromising sound quality, and the ability to customize noise-canceling settings for different modes is a fantastic feature. Overall, I’m extremely satisfied with this purchase.

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.

These are hands down the best headphones I’ve ever owned. The sound is rich, clear, and incredibly immersive with the spatial audio—it feels like I’m in the middle of the music. Noise cancelling is next-level; it completely blocks out the world. They’re also super comfortable, even for long listening sessions, and the battery lasts all day. Calls are crystal clear too. If you want premium sound and comfort, the Bose QuietComfort Ultra is worth every cent.

Great sound, great noise cancelling, great comfort, great price.

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).
