I bought this for a trip becasue my previous bose headphone ran its course but these, although a newer model, are not very good. Think I may return it. The hinges don't actually stay in place. The sound is not isolated. My older model was way better.

Hi there, thank you for sharing your feedback. The Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones feature adjustable noise cancellation, which can be controlled through the Bose app if you feel the default setting isn’t sufficient.
Regarding the hinges, we can look into this further if it’s a cosmetic issue. If you’d like help adjusting the noise cancellation, here’s a helpful guide you can use: https://bose.life/4qdxMB2

I have not tried them on the airplane yet, but for around the house they do block the noise. Battery life is excellent. Easy to use. I haven't had any problems turning them on, adjusting the sound, connecting to my iphone. I found the app to be confusing and to have too many ads for more bose products when all I am looking for is instructions for the product I already have. However, I am able to control it totally from the buttons and things on the headphones so unless I run into problems, I won't need the app too much.
The downside is that they will not connect to my computer. I usually do have problems with connecting bluetooth to my computer. I think it would be nice to have a wired connection accessory to devices as an option.
Bought these headphones before my wife’s hospital stay. The noise canceling feature proved very beneficial for her in that noisy environment. Great headphones & very comfortable to wear.
I bought these to replace another pair of Bose I've had for years but the battery was starting to go on them. I was excited to try the upgraded model. So disappointed. They will not stay connected to my my pixel 9. They drop constantly. The on head and off had automatic feature is extremely annoying very hard to get used to. You can't tell if they're working or not working. I'm seriously considering trying to send them back.
