Bose QuietComfort Headphones are the successors to QuietComfort 45 Headphones. They deliver high-fidelity audio performance and world-class noise cancellation that allow you to hear more of your music and movies — while traveling, at the office, or at home.
QuietComfort Ultra Headphones offer our most premium design and our most advanced technologies, for the best Bose listening experience in a headphone. With QuietComfort Ultra Headphones, you will enjoy our best headphone noise cancellation, audio quality personalized with CustomTune, and voice pickup, among other premium features.
Immersive Audio allows you to hear audio as if it were coming from beyond your QuietComfort Ultra Headphones, thereby allowing for a more spacious, natural listening experience. Your music and other audio will have a wide sound stage in front and to the sides, just as if you were listening to a pair of stereo speakers and seated at the sweet spot between them.
Bose CustomTune technology is a proprietary Bose technology that optimizes the audio playback you hear based on the unique physical properties of your ear and ear canal. It works by playing a specially designed calibration tone as the welcome chime each time you power on the headphones while wearing them. It then measures how the shape of your ear uniquely modifies that sound. The headphones use that information to adjust their sound to your ears, creating a more balanced, authentic audio experience.
Proprietary TriPort acoustic headphone structure utilizes external ports to vent the earcups and effectively enlarge the acoustic volume, without increasing the size of the earcup. The result is better audio and active noise reduction from a smaller, lighter, more comfortable headphone.
Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones utilize both active and passive noise reduction technologies. They use a sophisticated proprietary electronics approach for active noise reduction, placing microphones both inside and outside the earcups. The electronics system senses the sound in almost any environment and then measures, compares, and reacts — instant by instant — to produce an opposing cancellation signal. Meanwhile, passive noise reduction is achieved by the combination of earcup fit, design, and clamping force of the headband.
QuietComfort Ultra Headphones have three controls on the right earcup: a Bluetooth/power button at the bottom, a multi-function button in the back, and a capacitive volume strip along the edge. Additionally, the headphones are equipped with on-head/off-head detection, which is another way to control the product.
• The Bluetooth/power button is used to power the headphones on/off, put the headphones in pairing mode, cycle through paired devices, and more.
• The multi-function button supports audio playback (e.g., play/pause/skip), telephony (e.g., answer/decline calls), mode switching (e.g., Quiet, Aware, Immersion), and more.
• Swiping along the volume strip changes volume, and pressing and holding on it activates a user-configurable shortcut.
• Putting the headphones on and taking them off controls wake/sleep/auto-off and resume/pause. Auto-off can be customized in the Bose Music app.
Listening modes are collections of headphones settings that you can name and access with a single action. You can combine the following settings in a mode:
• Noise cancellation level
• Wind Block on/off
• ActiveSense on/off (applicable only in Aware mode)
• Immersive Audio setting
Three modes are provided by default:
• Quiet: noise cancellation set to maximum; all other settings off
• Aware: noise cancellation set to Aware; all other settings off
• Immersion: noise cancellation set to maximum; Immersive Audio set to Motion
With the Bose Music app, you can create your own custom modes as well as switch between modes.
ActiveSense listens for very loud outside sounds and selectively applies noise cancellation briefly during those sounds. This way, you can remain aware of your surroundings without having your music drowned out by interruptions like passing vehicles and loud appliance motor noises such as a coffee grinder or blender. ActiveSense can be enabled and disabled in the Aware mode setting.
Wind Block is a setting you can use when your environment is windy. Wind Block mutes the microphones on the outside of the earcups used for noise cancellation so that gusts of wind do not cause system responses that become noise disturbances in themselves. Note that the exterior microphones used for voice pickup are not muted, so if you’re on a call, the person on the other end will still hear the wind.
Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones also give you two options when it comes to audio EQ. Do nothing and the bass, midrange, and treble of whatever you’re listening to will be adjusted automatically to make it sound great. Or choose Equalizer in the settings of the Bose Music app to change the audio levels yourself to however you like them best. Either way, you’ll enjoy immersive sound at any volume.
Yes. QuietComfort Ultra Headphones have an adaptive microphone system that allows you to use the headphones during calls when connected to any smartphone. In addition to traditional calls, the headphones will work with many apps that use Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), such as Teams, Zoom or FaceTime. The microphone system adapts to your environment to isolate your voice from competing background noises and wind so that you can confidently take a call, knowing you will be heard clearly and naturally. In addition, self-voice allows you to hear yourself naturally, as if you weren’t wearing headphones at all, so you can monitor the volume of your voice and minimize the effects of speaking while wearing headphones.
First, make sure your headphones are turned on with the slider switch in the middle “On” position. Next, slide and hold the switch to the Bluetooth icon until the Bluetooth LED flashes blue or when the voice prompt indicates the headphones have entered into pairing mode. Please note, if this is your first time connecting the headphones, they will automatically turn on into pairing mode. Voice prompts will provide you with additional guidance. We recommend using the Bose Music app to complete the pairing process, however, Bluetooth settings on your device can be used to complete pairing.
Bose QuietComfort Ultra headphones have a range of up to 30 ft (9 meters) from the source device. This range may be reduced by physical obstructions, such as walls and doors, or by interference from other electronic devices. Pops or a cracking noise may be heard if there’s interference with the Bluetooth connection. If that happens, move away from wireless routers or microwaves and bring your headphones closer to the Bluetooth device.
The headphones can be charged using the USB-C cable supplied in the box and plugging into a USB port on a PC, laptop, or wall charger. Allow up to 2 hours for the headphones to fully charge. The battery light indicator will show an amber light while the headphones are charging and turn green when fully charged. When you don’t have time for a full charge, the fast-charge feature provides up to 3 hours of play time from a quick, 15-minute charge.
No. QuietComfort Ultra Headphones feature proprietary Bose active EQ to provide incredible, life-like sound, in conjunction with a personalized listening experience enabled by CustomTune technology. To enable this, the headphones must be powered on during use, including when using the auxiliary audio cable.
No.

Awesome.
The headphones are awesome. They feel and look premium but are also lightweight. The addition of “Immersive Audio” is what makes these headphones stand out from its predecessors. I definitely keep Immersive audio on to “Still”. The noise cancellation sounds great and sounds like it got improved too. The microphone also got improvements, the mics pick up audio better than the older headphones so just in case whenever I have to pick up a call I know the other person won’t have trouble hearing me. The battery life is improved . Since these I are my daily headphones, I don’t always find myself running out of battery throughout the day. The thing that also feels like that helps out with battery life is new feature that was added. When taking off the headphones while listening to music or watching a video, it’ll pause whatever is playing and resumes once the headphones sense you have them back on. If you happen to use your Bose QC as a wired headset for your ps4 or ps5 using the QC25 Android cable, audio works but the mic doesn’t. I tried it multiple times but no luck. Overall these headphones are a big step up if you have an older pair such as the QC35 or the QC45.

Perfect for focusing on work.
I am a high school choir teacher and so I really care about the quality of my headphones. These have superior quality and comfort and are truly noise cancelling. One of my students had a bit of sensory overload upon walking into my classroom but when I allowed her to borrow my headphones, she was able to block out all the exterior noises and focus on her work. For me, that’s all I need to hear (pun intended) to be sold on these headphones. Hope you can enjoy as well!

Won’t disappoint
I ordered a pair of QC Ultra headphones about a month ago for a trip. However they arrived late. Once I was home and got to try them out I wasn’t disappointed. These are great! They are very comfortable to wear and the sound is great.

Immersive audio is awesome!!
I love the immersive feature the most about these headphones. It really makes the music standout and seems as if you’re listening to a surround sound system. My favorite is immersive audio with quiet mode and I can listen to salsa music, alternative, and classical music. With instrumental music the sound is exceptional.
The design is different but the buttons are easier to use and remember than the QC45.
The headphones are comfortable and don’t ever hurt your head or feel too tight. I do have to take them off every couple of hours to scratch my ear which I think is normal.
The immersive feature I would not recommend using in public so that you can be aware of your surroundings. You can use immersive in aware and it still sounds great with your surroundings.
The bass is a lot stronger than prior Bose headphones when you play around with the EQ settings.
Overall, the spatial audio immersive feature and the increased bass make these headphones worth it.

Try only if you want to step up the listening game
On my first try, I couldn't close my mouth with the music quality coming out from this device. Even watching youtube commercials was fun to listen because it's just whole different experience that you feel like you are in that space and hearing like almost the real sound.
After few minutes of trying this new device, I had to ask everyone in my family to try it out, and all of them didn't want to take it off and was listening to their favorite music. My son is playing Cello and making his way to become more professional level, and this headphone actually helped so much to hear more detailed play from the classical music side as well.
FYI, of course this is not my first device and I used so many headphones and earphones / earbuds because I travel a lot domestically and internationally. So far I've been using many different products from different brands like Apple, Sony, Status, B&O, and etc, and this is the far best headphone I ever tried.
In short, It's very hard to describe this 'WOW'ing experience with the words, but it almost feels like you were listening to the radio, and all the sudden you get into this luxurious space with the high end audio sound devices.
I stronly stronly recommend anyone try this headphone since Bose is offering 90 day risk free trial and I'm sure you would feel the same.

Amazing listening experience!!
As a long time Bose user I was not surprised with the quality of these headphones, or by how quickly I fell in love with the QC Ultra headphones. I usually tend to gravitate towards their noice cancelling earbuds, since I’m on the shorter side, and most headphones feel overwhelming on me. That was not an issue I had with these headphones. Although they appear to be relatively similar in size to other headphones on the market, they are very lightweight and comfortable to wear for extended periods on time. They don’t have that bulky feel!! Pair that with their new immersive audio feature and easy touch controls, and I found myself losing track of time while doing mundane things like cleaning or running errands. It did take a minute to get used to the controls, but once I got the hang of them, they felt very natural. As an avid audiobook listener, it made my reading experience 100% better. The immersive audio helped me get lost in my books, where it felt more like the book was being read just to me, not at me. I knew music would sound amazing on the QC Ultra headphones, but this was an unexpected, but awesome bonus. I honestly couldn’t be happier or more impressed by these new headphones.

My new favorite headphones
These headphones have quickly become my favorite pair I’ve ever owned. The sound quality is excellent, as they are able to get pretty loud while remaining clear and crisp. The active noise cancelling is the most powerful I’ve seen, and is notably even stronger than the Bose NC700 headphones. Also improved from the NC 700 model in my opinion is the QuietComfort Ultra headband, which is much more robust feeling in my hand. Overall these are a premium feeling, solid pair of headphones, with class-leading audio and ANC performance.

Revolutionizing the Experience of Sound
I received this pair of beauties a couple weeks ago and I am very impressed. The design of the Quiet Comfort Ultra is very sleek, feels extra durable, and the improvement on the cup shape provides a more comfortable and better experience overall. I also enjoy the way the headset collapses and folds, making it even more compact than previous models and competitor models. The Immersive audio feature is a major game changer for me, it provides the ability to feel like whatever you're listening to or whomever you are talking to is in the room with you. The volume slide is very unique and handy, as well as the sensors that detect when the user removes/puts on the headphones and pause/resume whatever is playing. My only suggestion is finding a way to make the battery life longer while using the Immersive feature.

Always superior products
This is the best headset I've used and I have tried many noise reduction headsets over the years. I travel extensively and use a Bose headset in the cockpit when I work, and would never use any other. Similarly, when I ride on an airplane, or train, I will be now using the Quiet Comfort Ultras. They are light weight, easy to pack, have excellent controls, are ultra quiet, and the best part for me is the feature that they pause the audio when you remove them to hear someone talking to you, or for whatever reason. Put them back on, and voila, play resumes.
A bit pricey, but take care of them and they will last.

Excellent Product All Around
I’ve had the headphones for a little over a week and they are fantastic. They serve as my meeting headset during the day, my gym headphones, and my walking the dog headphones. A full battery lasts me 3-4 days of frequent use, they are comfortable enough to wear all day, and the sound and noise cancellation are superb. Highly recommend

QC Ultra Headphones - Awesome performance!
I jumped from the QC25 to the new QC Ultra headphones and it doesn't get any better than this. With the QC25 you had to slide the power button from OFF to ON or to the right in order to enable Bluetooth. Now, the QC Ultra headphones have a push button (no slide), making it easier and you can avoid leaving them ON for some time.
The performance is outstanding, with the 3 modes: Aware, Quiet, and Immersion.
1) Aware lets surrounding sounds in so you know what's going on while listening to the stereo audio.
2) Quiet is your brand Bose regular noise cancellation mode.
3) Immersion is the best feature for me: full noise cancellation plus Motion. You can move or be still and the audio experiences changes depending on your movement... just amazing!
You can even create your custom modes with the app, making it a more personalized experience.

Best noise canceling headphones to date
It has only been a week since I got these headphones for my husband, and he cannot stop raving about it. He made me tried them on too, and I am seriously thinking of getting another pair for myself (in the sandstone color). Here are a few things to note:
Pros:
- Excellent sounds quality and noise cancellation
- Comfortable fit, can keep on for a few hours (e.g., trans-Atlantic flight) and your eyers do not get uncomfortably warm
- Able to connect to multiple devices and easy toggle between devices (have connected this to my iPhone, surfacePro, MacAir laptop, as well as my LG OLED TV)
- Immersive Audio feature with head-tracking enhances experience
Cons:
- High price tag
- Had some initialization issues when connecting to phone (see attached pictures), but was resolved later
- Immersive audio mode drains battery
Overall, this is a huge upgrade from the QC 45 headphones as well as the QC II earphones

The Pinnacle of Sound and Comfort
I've had the pleasure of using the Bose QuietComfort Ultra headphones for a while now, and I must say, they have truly exceeded my expectations. These headphones are a cut above the rest, offering a seamless blend of superb sound quality, impressive noise-canceling capabilities, long-lasting battery life, exceptional comfort, and top-notch build quality.
Amazing Sound Quality:
Let's start with the most crucial aspect of any pair of headphones – the sound quality. The Bose QuietComfort Ultra headphones deliver a listening experience that is nothing short of breathtaking. Whether I'm immersed in the intricate details of classical compositions, bopping to pop tunes, savoring the raw beauty of acoustic melodies, or even indulging in an audiobook, these headphones consistently impress. The sound is crisp, clear, and incredibly immersive, with a well-balanced range that captures every note and every nuance.
Perfect for Work Meetings:
One of the standout features of these headphones is their exceptional noise-canceling capabilities. I use them extensively for work meetings, and they have virtually eliminated all external distractions. The active noise cancellation ensures that I can focus on important discussions without the interruptions of the outside world, making them an invaluable tool for professional settings.
Long Battery Life:
The battery life of the QuietComfort Ultra headphones is nothing short of remarkable. I've used them for extended periods, and they consistently provide a long-lasting performance. I hardly ever have to worry about recharging them, even during the busiest workdays or long-haul flights.
Unmatched Comfort:
These headphones are designed with comfort in mind. The plush ear cushions gently cradle your ears, and the adjustable headband ensures a snug yet comfortable fit. I've worn them for hours on end without experiencing any discomfort or fatigue. It's like a sonic embrace that I never want to end.
Exceptionally Well-Made:
Bose has a well-deserved reputation for producing high-quality audio equipment, and the QuietComfort Ultra headphones are no exception. They feel solid and durable, constructed with precision and care. I'm confident that they will serve me well for a long time.
In conclusion, the Bose QuietComfort Ultra headphones have become an indispensable part of my daily life. They excel in every aspect that matters to me: sound quality, noise cancellation, battery life, comfort, and build quality. They've seamlessly adapted to my diverse musical tastes and have enhanced my work meetings significantly. I can confidently say that I would buy these headphones in a heartbeat, and they stand as the finest pair of earphones I've ever had the pleasure of owning. If you're in the market for premium headphones that truly elevate your listening experience, these are the ones to consider.

Upgrade ya
The QC Ultra headphones definitely felt like an upgrade from my 700 headphones. Lighter, softer fit, and easier to operate touch control volume. The sound features are a trip! I love listening to live tracks through the immersive audio, but I prefer not to use it with others; having a choice is the best part. I got white, same as last pair, but this time the case was white, too... easier to find and easier to get dirty with my grubby fingers. No matter, because my very favorite upgrade is the even better noise cancelation. My distaste for invasive sounds only lasts as long as it takes me to get them on. Can't wait to take them to my next Pride event! The loud crowds can't keep me away, now!

Perfect Headphones - Bose does it again!
It certainly was worth the wait for Bose to come out with the QuietComfort Ultra Headphones! As always Bose strikes again, delivering a high quality products time and time again!
From the packaging - to the carrying case - to the actual headphones, everything is PERFECT. When opening the headphones, the first thing you notice is how compact they are - the headphones lay flat and fit in a super sturdy carrying case, which is a perfect size when traveling for work. They fit in my backpack with no problem, and likely would also fit in a purse or handbag you could carry around!
The set up is simple and intuitive, it took me under 5 minutes to fully set up and get comfortable with the buttons on the headphones and the UI of the companion app. Not only that - the materials and feel of the headphones were PERFECT - everything feels super sleek and high quality.
When I played the first song, I felt completely immersed in the music. As you move or turn your head, the song moved along with you, it's something that I have never experienced any headphones do! It was super cool and made listening to music even more enjoyable - it felt like I was listening to music from a stage!
Would highly recommend buying the QuietComfort Ultra headphones for yourself or a family member over any other products on the market - especially with the holiday season coming up!

Great valve!
The Bose Ultra headphones are overall satisfying! The new Immersion audio is something I didn't know I needed until now which sets the tone for over the ear headphones. What I love about the new Immersion audio is the projection impersonating surround sound vs OFF normal mode projecting direct audio. I found myself switching modes frequently and it's great to seamingly change modes on the app or on the right ear muff except to bring your hand up to change settings, it is not so ergonomic on finger placement which will take time to get used to. You will find yourself wanting to keep these headphones on and reason being is that they are very comfortable and the audio is not too low or high it is well balanced for clear sounds, subtle but punchy bass. To conclude my experience, the product is well constructed for comfort, durability and sound and gear 20 hour battery which is why I highly recommend and I am pleased to share my experience.

Great Product
I got my headphones about a week ago and I absolutely love it.
The noise cancellation, as always, is incredible(when on work calls or in a noisy environment).
The other things I loved are the immersive audio and the wind block. The immersive audio adds a different feel when I'm listening to music or watching a movie.
I had a fan on at the highest speed and once the wind block was turned on, I could no longer hear the "noise" from the fan.
The one thing I will complain about is the Volume Strip, but hey, it might grow on me.

Audio Experiences Its HDTV Moment
When HDTVs burst onto the scene, it was often described but rarely understood by the conversation alone. One couldn't fully fathom the enormous visual upgrade until it was seen with one's own eyes. It wasn't uncommon to see people gathered around the display TVs gawking in disbelief. "Immersive Audio" is sound's equivalent upgrade moment.
The Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones check all the boxes that you have come to expect from Bose. They are comfortable, stylish, and well-made. As a father of four loud children and four even louder dogs, I can attest that their "Noise Cancellation" is still top of the line and greatly appreciated. The "Bose Music" app is incredibly easy to use and has been improved with some great new features. Users will love "Remember My Mode," ""Multi-point Connection," and "On-Head Detection." Each of these tools make it easier and quicker to get back to listening to superb sound. EQ is easily customizable to personal preference with a quick swipe of the finger. Battery life is as long as advertised. You will not lose audio opportunities because you have outlasted the battery.
The star of the show though is the new "Immersive Audio". Like seeing HDTV for the first time, you have to personally hear audio in one of the two immersive modes before you can truly grasp just how incredible it is. Words are not adequate to describe the vast audio improvement that you will experience. It is truly how audio was meant to be heard. Sound is still crisp and perfect as has been produced in past Bose endeavors. The improvement is found in the new depth of the sound. On multiple occasions I had to check to see if the sound was really coming from the headphones. It is so natural, pure, and perfect that it's hard to belief that you are hearing it from headphones. I personally prefer the "Still" setting over the "Motion" setting but both are amazing. In "Still" mode, the listener gets an audio treat every time they move their head as the sound seemingly chases after them. So incredible is "Immersive Audio" that once you hear it, standard audio no longer seems adequate. It is like watching sports or action movies in standard definition.
These headphones have been "stress" tested with hours of listening to music, movies, and video games. They are game changers in each category with the high-quality sounds being produced by "Immersive Audio."
Highly recommended for all sound lovers!

Well worth it
Received my headphones and was instantly impressed with the finish and the quality of them. Very comfortable to wear and give a classic look. Started to use them taking in a variety of media including, music, podcasts, sports, and movies. Used the headphones on numerous work calls as well where they were fantastic. I love the battery life as well as the ease of access to connect through Bose music. The auto stop when you take a side of the headphone off of your ear is a great touch.

Best Headphones ever!
Received these headphones and immediately I noticed the improved comfort. I put on pandora and the first song that came on blew my mind away. As a musicophile, I listen to a wide range of music (classical, jazz, prog rock and hard rock). A song by Rush came one and I was blown away by the depth that I had not appreciated. I switched through Jazz, classic, pop and rock and the music really seemed to jump out at me.
The following day, working at home, I listen to music while my wife works from home. Her voice when she is on conference calls is now muffled and the little clicks when she is typing on the computer I do not hear. In fact, she has to really get my attention now (wave arms, tap me on the shoulder etc.) Even my kids I do not hear when they are home from school. Overall, they work great and I love the spatial sounds and the noise cancelation. I have a pair of Bose Quiet Comfort but these are handsdown better then those!!

the Immersive Audio is an Amazing Innovation!
The Bose Quiet Comfort Ultra have amazing sound. The Immersive Audio is the innovation that makes this model my favorite on the market.
THE SOUND: I am a chemical engineer who became a lawyer. I am overly reliant on using my words and numbers (all my forces of good and evil) to express a point. I think that the sound here is so startlingly vivid that I don't need to draw arrows to all tech innovation that make these headphones great. There are many Bose videos that do that better. I am sure that data would support me in my statement that the QC Ultra are a singular sound experience. I listened to a variety of songs with varying vocal and musical ranges, such as Mozart's Queen of the Night and Massive Attack's Angel. I could hear notes at a high frequency and low frequency clearly and loved the QC Ultra made the sound experience so clear. These are the headphones to wear if you want to feel like part of the band. It is incredibly convenient that the QC Ultra connects to two points over Bluetooth at the same time. I was able to connect to all of my tech, including the stationary bike, with ease.
NOISE CANCELING: I tried the Quiet mode, both around my son's tuba lessons and neighborhood construction. I couldn't hear anything I didn't want to hear. I was thrilled. (Still supportive of him but the tuba is unpleasant.) The QC Ultra work well for Microsoft Teams meetings and FaceTime calls. I could hear voices clearly, without any background fuzz or clatter. As an experiment, I called my friend who has the least amount of phone etiquette to see how the sound would hold. (She's the friend we all have, the one who answers the phone while lawn mowing or eating crackers.) I could hear her voice startlingly clearly and had only a slight suspicion she was washing pots and pans. I was less annoyed with her than usual. I think these headphones will bring us to a better friendship.
THE HEADPHONES AND PACKAGING: These headphones are even more soft and comfortable than the previous model, the QC 45. They are lightweight and the white color looks sophisticated and fashion-y. (I don't have the 700's and I don't know if they are part of the Quiet Comfort lineage.) I appreciate that these headphones came in a hard case within environmentally-friendly packaging. Even high-end headphones like Apple or Beats Pro no longer have cases included with the headphones.
BATTERY: I have severe battery anxiety and charge everything when it hits 50 percent. I wore these headphones for 16 hours, on all modes, before I compulsively had to charge it again, at 50 percent. The battery life is amazing.
CONCLUSION: These headphones are a wonderful, innovative approach to sound. The Immersive Experience is named perfectly-- you can feel the adrenaline and euphoria from crystal-clear sound that is similar to being at a live performance. The sound really is THAT good. Even if you wear these all day and use them just for calls and meetings, the sound of your colleagues and friends is clear and easy to focus on. Five thumbs up! (Out of five.)

Game changing sound
Bose is known for their amazing sound but these headphones take it to the next level. Immersive audio is the next best thing to going to a concert. Classical, punk, blue grass... it doesn't matter... it sounds like you're right there with great seats.
As a mid-40's woman, I'm not the most technologically savvy person out there but setting up these headphones & pairing them to both my phone & computer was easy & now I can jam out to music during work, take a quick call, & get back to dancing around the room seamlessly.
The only issue I've had since I first put these on is trying to get used to noise cancelling technology... it makes my head feel mushy. Luckily I've added to my modes to allow various levels of outside noise to come through so I can enjoy the technology without discomfort.
If you're interested in high quality headphones with amazing sound capabilities, you will not be disappointed with Bose QC Ultra Headphones.

BOSE, First to None!
BOSE(Best Overall Sound Equipment) has once again outperformed. The Quietcomfort Ultra Headphones are first to none in my humble opinion. The symphonic sounds bouncing from one cup to the other allows you to truly immerse yourself into whatever genre of music you enjoy. From jazz, to rock and roll, to rhythm and blues, and let's not forget classical, these headphones plays mind games on your psyche. The minor tones are just as clear or maybe clearer than the major tones, which is my most enjoyable feature. The way the headphones controls the output of music establishing peaks and valleys throughout the musical selection places you in state where you can simply enjoy the artistry of music.

Super Comfortable and Awesome Sound
I work in construction and can't tell you how many times I've had to walk away from my jobsite to take a call bc it was so loud. The design on these headphones are amazing and so comfortable. The fit is snug to the point where I can't hear anything around me using the noise canceling quiet mode unless I want to, then I'll use the cool Activesound option, which allows you to hear your surroundings, but eliminates them if they get too loud, so I can still enjoy my music or continue my phone call uninterrupted. Hands down, best on the market!

AWESOME Headphones to write home about!
I received my Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones in color: White Smoke and am very impressed by the sleek and stylish lightweight design with only two buttons: Multi-Function/Bluetooth buttons and a volume strip, where you can easily swipe up or down to adjust volume, all located on the right side of the earcup. The headphones are padded nicely around head and ears and provide exceptional comfort level after several hours of wear. I work from home and live in town where it can get pretty noisy during the day, so really needed a pair of good noise cancelling headphones to drown out the noise of the traffic and such. My favorite starred setting when working is Quiet Mode which provides exceptional Acoustic Noise Cancelling, and I found that my production increased due to being able to concentrate more on my work by not hearing all the distracting noises that entail with working from home. When I'm not working, I love to watch movies and listen to music with my Bose surround sound system, and glad that I can easily switch between devices and pair my new headphones with my sound bar as this especially helps when it's late at night and don't want to disturb or wake others. My favorite setting for movies and music is Immersion Mode which takes it to another level of complete bliss where the music literally wraps you up and sweeps you away! I'm so impressed with the quality of sound, it's so crisp and clean! The Bose app. is a must for set-up since there's no paper manual provided. There are so many cool features, tips, and shortcuts available in the app. to where you can customize your headphones to your liking and needs, such as the Equalizer (EQ) where you can add more or less Bass & Treble. I like that I can be listening to music and able to receive phone calls, which pause my song and then resume playing after my call. Very cool and convenient Sleep/Wake features, where the headphones automatically go into sleep mode when I take them off and then wake up when you put them on, and automatically powers off after 24hrs. of inactivity all while saving battery life. There are some things to be mindful of, such as the recommended safe handling suggests placing your hands around the middle of each earcup when removing from and putting back in case as this helps keep fingers away from the hinges, so they don't get pinched. It is also not recommended to use headphones near water or moisture of any kind and to clean with a dry cloth only! I knew that Bose would have the best pair of headphones available that would meet my needs and expectations and beyond, and they have always been my number one choice and have been very happy with all their products that I've purchased over the years. Bose also has exceptional and knowledgeable customer service agents to help with all your needs and concerns. I highly recommend these headphones and all Bose products to friends, family, and to all music lovers out there! There's no comparison when it comes to Bose, they are simply the best!

Best headphones I have ever used
I have only had the Bose Ultra Headphones for a week. But I have had the opportunity to test them in a variety of situations: At home listening to music, using them for work on MS teams meetings, phone calls, and watching movies on my tablet; Commuting to work on a train and then walking to the office building in downtown Chicago; In an open work environment taking MS teams meetings and listening to music. In every situation, they have exceeded my expectations.
I have used profiles for Quiet, Immersive, and Aware. Here is where I feel each performs its best:
- I prefer “Quiet” mode when I am on phone calls and for some types of music.
- “Immersive” works well for most music but is really awesome when watching a movie.
- The “Aware” mode worked as expected when I wanted to hear people around me or when I was walking on the street in Chicago. I was curious what I could hear on the street and it was pretty much everything like passing cars, people talking, and animals.
These are the areas I have liked and disliked so far in my time using them.
Pros:
- Best noise canceling headphones I have ever used. The train and office really sold me on how well these cancel the world around you.
- Great for listening to music and watching movies.
- Extremely comfortable even when wearing for multiple hours.
- They are mostly plastic but they look and feel premium to me.
- The case that comes with them is molded to support the headphones which is a first for Bose that I am aware of.
Cons:
- I have experienced a few software issues related to Bluetooth connections. I was able to work around these either via the Bose Music app or powering the device off and on.
- The highest price for a Bose headset yet.
While I hope a software update will resolve the few issues I noted they do not change my opinion of the headset. I would very much recommend this to my friends and family. If you are looking for a headset and can afford it, this is the one to buy. Just go get it and enjoy!
