QC Ultra Headphones are rockin’

The new QuietComfort Ultra Headphones are quite impressive! These headphones use special technology called Immersive Audio to make your music feel like it's surrounding you, giving a more immersive experience. They also have Qualcomm's Snapdragon Sound Technology, which makes your music sound great and lets you connect to multiple devices at the same time, so it’s great for bouncing back and forth between my devices for work.
But what's really cool is that these headphones can automatically adjust how much noise cancellation you need, so your music isn't interrupted by loud sounds or colleagues. Plus, they have the best noise cancellation around. The Ultra headphones are the upgraded version of the QuietComfort 45, offering top-notch sound quality and noise cancellation, perfect for use while traveling, working, or just enjoying music at home… gives me a nice break from the kid’s loud tv shows!
They have some handy features, like fast Bluetooth pairing and a long 24-hour battery life on a single charge. And you can control them easily with buttons on the earcup.
The buttons and build do not feel cheap, so if you're after top-quality headphones with excellent noise cancellation and sound, they're definitely worth the investment. I am wholeheartedly an Apple fan, and I truly love these.

Almost perfect - and the best QCs yet.

My fandom of Bose goes all the way back to the QC1s (I've had QC3s and QC15s, too). Currently I already own a pair of the QC45s, so I'm going to give my thoughts about the Ultras in comparison to those. The Ultras are a bit heavier, and everything about them feels more solidly built, including the cushioning on the ear cups and the headband. The sound overall is fuller and better than the QC45s and the Immersive options are really pleasing to listen through (though don't layer Immersive with Dolby Atmos - gets a little too weirdly spatial if you do that). The mic also seems to be better quality for phone calls than the QC45s, and the streamlined controls are cool.
My nit-picky observations are as follows. Because they are slightly heavier and the cushions are thicker, they feel slightly hotter on my head. Also, because they are more solidly built, adjusting the size of the headband is a little stiffer. Not a big deal, but I have a big head and I like being able to put on the QC45s and easily pull the cups in place. I kinda miss having a separate button on the left cup for scrolling through the NC and Immersive settings, instead of it being shared functions on one button on the right. Also, I can't decide if I like the volume slider or if i miss the more granular control with two buttons - in any case, the slider does work flawlessly so no real issue. Lastly, as much as I love the general sound and experience of listening through the Immersive settings, I have to say there is a lag in the Motion setting when you turn your head. Instead of staying in a fixed position in the sound field (the "sweet spot"), when you turn your head, the sound kinda floats/follows you a hair late. To be honest, it makes me almost feel a little dizzy. I'm really hoping Bose adds a setting where the sound field doesn't lag behind your head turn - I would definitely add that 5th star if that happens.
Overall, another solid, great sounding product and the best sounding of all the models I've owned over the years. I will probably always grab these before my QC45s just because of the sound and the Immersive audio settings.

Like having surround sound in your headphones

If you’ve ever been fortunate enough to install a home surround sound system for the first time, you will be familiar with the very first aha moment when you realize “I had no idea my tv could sound this good”. These headphones gave me that same aha moment with the music on my phone. With other headphones I am used to playing music and having the sound contained within the physical boundaries of the headphones, but with these quiet comfort ultra headphones it sounds like the music is coming from speakers placed several feet in front of you, beside you, and behind you. It was so different from what I am used to that it actually took me a few minutes for my brain to get used to the depth of the sound. Just imagine surround sound contained within your headphones and you’ve got the big takeaway. They are a little snug around the temples, but I expect that will ease up with more use.

Superb Sound! Sounds better than my 700 headphones. Love the customizability. Noise suppression is excellent and the Immersive audio is really great. Like the new design, Had to uninstall and reinstall my Bose Music to get it to connect but other than that great stuff!

Good product, as always. Love the sound. The headphones themselves are a bit heavy and the adjustable bands are not as flexible as the previous models.

So I have tried multiple over the ear, headphones AirPods, max, the new beats Pro, bang Olson you name it. I’ve tried it these by far are one of the best clarity and lightweight headphones and bang for the buck. The only downfall is I wish it would integrate my notifications from my iPhone.
