I purchased both ultras, over ear and buds. They were replacements for my QCII and my QC earbuds. Both work very well. The only negative on the headphones is I wish it had the physical on/off switch. I’ve accidentally left them on and ran the battery down. I use them mostly on airplanes and they even stop crying baby noise.😂
These are great noise canceling headphones. The immersion feature is awesome! But the one thing about the design is there is no definite on/off switch like previous designs. This makes turning off the headphone confusing - you have to hold the button that also controls the different options of noise canceling. I know when you take off the headphones it will put it in like a low use type battery saving, and if you don’t put them back on for 24 hrs I think, it will turn off all the way. But the battery runs down in this, so to have a definitive toggle to turn on off would be a better design.
I’m loving these headphones. They are very comfortable for extended wear, and they sound great. I recently used them for air travel, and they were fantastic for this application. I put on the headphones, was in my own little world for the entire flight, and felt very happy and relaxed for the duration of the trip. I am pleased with this purchase, and feel it was worth the big splurge/financial investment.
Not too impressed to be honest. Won't automatically shut off when I take them off (like my old ones) which means the battery time is awful. I think I might have got an early faulty example. Sound and noice cancellation is good, as expected.

Hello, I am glad that you are enjoying the sound and noise cancellation of the QC Ultra headphones, these headphones do have an auto-off feature available to use, this is defaulted to off, so you will need to enable the feature via the Bose Music app. You can find more information on this via the product support page: https://support.bose.com/s/display-articles?productId=01t8c00000QEpaxAAD&articleId=ka08c000001pXrlAAE&language=en_US.
