Customer Ratings & Reviews

Pretty good- I was coming from the NC700s and wanted to upgrade- initially went w/the Sony 1000MX5s but although the sound was INCREDIBLE w/them, I really couldn't get used to the controls and the app. I then found that Bose had switched back to QC as the flagship model, so I gave those a shot and despite the Sonys having a slightly better (IMO) sound (and the QC Ultras aren't BAD- they're just a lot more neutral than the Sony headphones- the Sonys had more 'natural' low-end' IMO), the QC Ultras have INSANE noise cancelling- literally, I was listening to music w/them on the first night at a high-ish volume and couldn't hear myself snapping my finger in front of my face- the BEST noise-cancelling I've ever experienced. So, I kept them- don't regret it, but I MIGHT be looking into a pair of Jabra Evolve2 85 headphones b/c I do use these at work all day and these aren't the best w/Teams/Microsoft (tbh, the Sony ones were NOT any better and MS is notoriously horrible w/BT for Teams). Oh, battery life is pretty amazing- had to charge the NC700s every night (use them on the bus/train to midtown from south Brooklyn and sometimes for most of the day at work and then again on the ride home)- w/these, at most I'm charging them every other night- not even always.

Bag talk, hmm It's quiet, ain't no back talk Quiet, ain't no back talk. They good, people keep sneaking up on me like ninjas. The battery life is decent too. Recommend if you are looking for the best noise cancelling headphones even if they are expensive. You can get 80-90 percent of the performance from Anker or Sony but bose has that last little bit that sends them over the bar.

Love these headphones. I traded in my Airpods Max to get these instead - best decision I’ve made. They’re lighter, sound better, have better ANC, and are so much more comfortable. I was getting tired of cleaning the Airpods, but these are a million times easier to clean

I was in the market for new over ear headphones. Previously, I was using an older model of wireless beats studios. The Bose QC ultra are a huge step up in sound quality, comfort, and ease of use. EQ settings are new to me but I’ve messed around with my preferences. They’re so light and padded that I don’t really notice them even during long study sessions. The volume slider is different but once you get a hang of it it’s intuitive. The noise canceling is top tier. I was lucky to find these open box and in great condition.

I bought this and Apple Airpod Pro Max to compare. Bose one is more Light weight and comfortable for wearing long period of time. Both sound quality are pretty good to me so I just picked the one is less expensive with similar experience. Also love the sand color that gives some character but not too pop out :)

Sublime. Truly sublime. I bought these headphones on a whim, but having experienced much of the QuietComfort line, I had high hopes and these do not disappoint. The lightest pair they’ve ever made, the best ear clearance I’ve ever felt, and my ears stay cool and comfortable. The noise cancellation is, as expected, bested only by what Apple will come out with in their next AirPods Max II headphones. The ambient sound is seamless and provides clear audio of your surroundings if you need it. The sound quality is Bose: great mids and decent lows with clean but not overwhelming highs. The app to control the headphones is also pretty easy to get the hang of. Do be careful pairing on the airplane as it’s easy for someone to pick up the signal and pair by accident. The power on button takes awhile. As in, you need to hold it down in order for the headphones to turn on. I prefer a switch, but it’s not a dealbreaker. All in, would buy again, even though they are expensive. If you know the serenity you feel when you isolate yourself from the rest of the world, this is the pair to get. Now, with added lightness, I almost want to wear them all the time.

I spent a ton of time (literally weeks) reading, learning and watching every single review of all headphones available early in early 2024. I found that every single review at least ranked these headphones as one of the best if not the best. I felt 100% certain that they are at least one of the best, but as I continue to read longer, I felt that they they are actually the best. I first bought the XM4, then returned them. Then bought the XM5 and while I liked them, I really wanted to try these headphones. I ordered the B&W 7s and noise cancelation was not different, and around the same time I finally got these Bose. 2 days as I was testing them, I never came back to the other two headphones I have. I am obsessed with headphones, and now this bose headphones are the only one I use. It’s sad that you really need to try different headphones to develop a sense of which one is best, and am glad I finally tried those and the decision was easy. Those are way much comfortable to wear than all other options, sound quality is INSANE… the the BEST aspect is the noise cancelation as well as the transperance mode. Phenominal headphones am so happy with my purchase.

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

To me the sound quality on these are better than Beats. The soundstage seems clearer and crisper. I also like the fact that the Bose app has a customizable EQ whereas you’re stuck with the preset ones on your iPhone for the Beats. The noise cancellation on these is excellent. A single charge lasts a few days while using immersive audio and lasts even longer if I switch to aware (no noise canceling). Some people have indicated Bluetooth connection drops on iPhone but I haven’t had any problems — they stayed connected for an entire east coast to west coast flight. I generally don’t use over ear headphones for phone or video calls so I can’t comment on call quality.

This is simply the best premium headphones in the system period. The simple but elegant design, the top-notch noise cancellation, the ultra-comfortability, and the excellent sound quality make the Bose QC Ultra headphones the best.

I love my Beats headphones! They tune out 98% of noise that surrounds me in a fairly loud room. The sound quality is the best headphones I’ve ever owned, which has been a lot. The battery life is amazing. Fully charged can last me a full week. I’ve watched 2 movies that weee 2 1/2 hours long and I was still at 89%. I can’t say enough about these Beats headphones, because I would run out of space. I love the soft ear cushion. It fits snug around my ears. Easy to set up the wireless Bluetooth to any device. Best headphones I’ve ever purchased! You won’t regret purchasing Beats Bluetooth wireless headphones

Absolutely love these Bose QCU's. Found them in the Returns case and picked them up at a great discount. So comfortable and the sound is incredible. The app is easy to navigate and lets me experience sound like I've never heard.

Purchased as "open box" with $60 discount. This was an upgrade from much older QuietComfort 35's that began giving me "buzzing" noise. Using these as a phone headset in addition to listening capabilities is a real plus. I've been flying with these and find the noise cancellation capabilities to be excellent. Battery life seems longer than older model. The longer time having to hold the start-up button is a little annoying, but not a big deal. Note that when using as a phone headset that noise in your environment (e.g. paper rustling, outside sounds) will be fully heard by the person with whom you're talking, but not much by you because of the headphones' noise canceling capabiities.

The Bose QuietComfort Ultra headphones in White Smoke sound amazing, and the noise cancellation blocks out everything around you. They’re super comfy to wear for hours, and the design looks sleek and high-end.

Tested these out on my vacation starting on the airplane for 3 hours and noise cancellation was excellent. Battery has never run out. Super comfortable fit too. I like the new beige color so may get another and give this one to my daughter. Great buy! Love Bose!

I bought the Bose QC Ultra headphones last month, and I’m really impressed. The sound quality, noise cancellation, and spatial audio are all excellent, and the headphones are very lightweight and comfortable. Connecting to devices is seamless, and the Bose Music app makes everything easy to control.

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!

Amazing headphones. They have better bass than my QC 35 II. The battery lasts a long time, and the over-ear fit is more comfortable. Excellent Bluetooth range.

I did my research on which noise-cancelling headphone to get. I almost got the Apple headphone but this is by far premium! I recommend spending the extra dollars to get the Ultra. Super comfortable, sleek, and easy to use and compatible to Apple/Samsung devices.
