Customer Ratings & Reviews

These are very good because of the soft ear piece comfort, great sound quality as well as top of the line noise cancellation ability. But what I like most is that they are foldable, light weight and easy to carry when traveling. I traded in my Apple Airpods Max for these because the Apple Airpods were heavier, less comfortable, and were cumbersome when carrying around while traveling.

I got the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Wireless Noise Cancelling headphones (Over-the-Ear) in Lunar Blue color from Best buy in December 2025 as part of a great deal at a very discounted price. The purchase process was seamless and I opted to pickup my order from a Bestbuy store close to my house. The overall purchase experience with best buy was great. As far as the headphone is concerned, this is one of the most comfortable headphones that I have ever owned and I own quite a few. The overall sound quality and noice cancelling is exceptional. A must to have device for frequent travellers based on the comfort and noise cancelling feature. I had a Sony XM4 and it was not a great headphone for long hours of use as my ears would start to hurt after an hour of use. This headphone feels very light on your head. It does not have that clamping feeling or you feel fatigued after long hours if use. Overall I am very satisfied with my purchase and from Best buy.

I love these headphones. They are very comfortable to wear and the sound is amazing. I bought them for the gym but I also use them at work to drown out the noise.

So comfortable with a really wonderful sound quality. Take these with me on long flights and the battery lasts forever. I'm so thrilled with my purchase. Can't be without these on long hauls. Noise cancelling is a lifesaver with screaming babies.

Fit is very good, comfortable. Excellent noise canceling. No regrets in purchase.

Bose really did well with this headphones. Very comfertable, immersive sound, wind block option and many features.

TLDR: Best ANC headphones on the market with a few fixable flaws. If you want better sounding headphones, be prepared to open up your wallet and hear a lot more of the outside world. If you’re looking for the best ANC headphones out there, the Bose QC Ultra’s are the way to go. This is my first pair of Bose headphones and I’ve been blown away by their ANC performance. I’m not new to the ANC headphone scene-I previously owned the Sony XM4’s and XM5’s, and the Sennheiser Momentum 3’s and 4’s. The QC Ultra’s surpass all of them when it comes to noise cancellation. The ANC is a little more effective than the Sony’s and considerably better than the Sennheiser’s. These aren’t audiophile headphones but for the average listener, like myself, these sound great. I think the Sennheiser’s sound a little better but it’s not a significant advantage. If you’re looking for “higher quality” sounding headphones, you’re going to have sacrifice ANC performance and spend a decent amount more. I’ve tried a few of the more upscale headphones and they do sound better but the ANC isn’t anywhere close to the QC Ultra’s. The build quality is solidly above average. It’s mostly plastic with synthetic leather but adds a touch of luxury with genuine aluminum accents. Outside of the Momentum 3’s, the QC Ultra’s have the best build quality. They’re light but don’t feel or look cheap. Unlike a lot of other headphones in this segment, these do fold so they come with a smaller case. The case isn’t extremely rigid but feels relatively solid. I wouldn’t be worried about these getting crushed when throwing them in a suitcase or backpack. This shouldn’t really be a pro but, yes, you can manually turn the Ultra’s off. So what’s not too hot? The battery life is mediocre/average. Compared to all of the ANC headphones I’ve owned, they have the worst battery life. I use these daily and have to charge them more frequently than the others. It’s not horrible but when compared to the 60 hour (give or take) battery life of the Momentum 4’s, the mediocrity really stands out. For some reason, Bose decided not to give users the option of turning off ANC. I suspect that having that option would improve battery life significantly. The app is ok but the EQ is pretty basic. You can’t save individual sound profiles and easily switch between them like with the Sony’s or Sennheiser’s. Again, I have no idea why they took that route. If enough people complain, hopefully they’ll update the ANC off and EQ through a software update. The last complaint is mostly cosmetic and seems to be an issue with a lot of other headphones. The finish of the ear cups are fingerprint magnets. It doesn’t matter when you’re jamming at home but who wants to be in public with greasy looking headphones. Overall, I really like the QC Ultra’s and will use them until they fall apart. I wanted the most effective ANC headphones and these fit the bill. They sound great and I love using them every day. They’re far from perfect but do the best job of suppressing all that chitter chatter in the background. If you cam get these on sale, i think they’re one of the best bargains available.

Though I ended up returning these, I loved the comfort and sound quality. At first, I wasn't too fond of the spatial audio or Immersive feature as initially, it sounded too articial. After some days using it in this mode and I swtiched back to the Sony XM5s at had bought at the same time, I preferred the sound in Immersive over the XM5s. For me, the Bose did not run as "hot" as the Sony's. The XM5s made my ears hot and the Bose didn't. I live in Chicago and commute on buses and trains, and the Bose kept tuned out my surroundings during my rides. Outside in the cold, the Aware mode sounded almost as good as the Transperancy mode on the AirPods Maxs (returned those too because they were too heavy) and kept my ears warm. The QuietComfort Ultras are great if you commute and travel a lot like I do. Ultimately, someone gave me the Bose 700s for free and that was the only reason why I ended up returning these. If that did not happen, I recommend these over the Sonys, though the XM5s have superior battery life to both the Bose and Airpod Max.

I tried the Bose Quiet comfort but I am so happy I upgraded to the Bose ultra and I’m a better color. Pristine with a better bass and sound just like I wanted . This is an open box item but it looks brand new

Slipped these babies on and suddenly my noisy apartment turned into a zen garden. They’re so light I forgot I was wearing them—and I’ve worn them into a Zoom call, the shower, and once, almost into bed. The comfort? Chef’s kiss. Feels like my ears are getting a first-class hug. And the noise canceling? I didn’t hear my neighbor’s drum practice, my dog’s barking, or my own self-doubt. 10/10 would ignore the world again.

Excellent head one . I have used all the headphones from Bose, this is the best I have ever used . It’s made so light , very flexible and soft in use and best is its sound , immersive , noise cancellation so effective, I slept so easily in the plane . It’s just excellent .

Not sure what happened, but I was expecting to be blown away with the sound this produces but fell short. The main complaint is the lack of bass, it’s quite flat. I will sometimes pull out my $30 headset to listen to music/videos where I want to feel rumble in my ears. What is good about this device, is the noise cancellation, ear comfort, and light weight on head. I struggle with turning this off/on, since the Bluetooth button is also the power off/on button.

Do not get me wrong and take me personally base on my 4 months of experience with the bose quietcomfort ultra headphones I like it so far because it feels comfortable it just feels a little bit lose on my head just a little bit and the noise cancellation is good and the sound quality is good and it does a good job of reducing most noises it does not reduce some noises and I do believe the connection and the noise cancellation and the sound quality could be better with more clear sound quality nosie cancellation and audio calls other than that so far I like the bose quietcomfort ultra headphones

Love these headphones. Sound is awesome. They are very comfortable and stay on very well. Would highly recommend!

Great noise canceling, excellent long battery life, and very convenient to travel with. I fly every week and these are key to comfort and entertainment on short and long flights!

These are so comfortable. I can wear them and completely forget they’re on. The sounds is great too. Connectivity can be kinda wonky but I’ve recently switched from AirPod Pro Max so I expected to have to get used to new buttons and modes. I love these and I’ll never go back!

Best headphone I have purchased. Had AirPod max, skullcandy, beats etc etc these are by far the best headphones in terms of sound quality, weight and comfort

Best headphones I have ever used. The noise cancelation is spectacular, it’s easy to use, the app is helpful. As a person with large stretched/gauged ears the comfort was most important for me and these absolutely deliver. No pinching, pushing, or soreness after long periods of use. Used daily for over a year and still amazing.

Sounds better than the Bose 700 I have. Better bass. The immersive audio could use an update for better head tracking. I’m sure a new firmware is in the works. I didn’t realize it doesn’t have the touch sensor on the earcup like Bose 700 before getting them. I think they got away from it to make room for bigger battery. Overall satisfied with the purchase.

The product is outstanding and offers excellent comfort, effectively blocking noise. However, it's not significantly superior to the Bose 700, which provides more hands-on options and greater control in noise cancellation. A crucial tip: After installing the Bose app on your phone, remember to disable Bluetooth on your phone. This step is essential to prevent interruptions during computer use, such as when receiving phone calls. If you're in a Zoom meeting, an incoming call can disrupt the session, silencing applications like YouTube or Zoom. You can still take the call, but to ensure uninterrupted listening, it's best to turn off the phone's Bluetooth while using these headphones. Initially, you'll need to use the Bose app to set up the quiet mode and other features before turning off the phone's Bluetooth.
