I’ve had my new QC Ultra headphones (2 Gen) for about a week and love them! I’ve had a pair of NC 700 HP’s for several years and these are certainly a nice step up from those.
I was looking to get these since last year, but I waited for a better price, I love these, the noise cancellation is excellent and the mic for my meetings works really good, much better than the previous quiet comfort, my only non conformance is that are a little heavy, I love that despite I have big ears these have enough room.
Great headphones. My feedback is that I don’t think I’m getting the advertised battery life, I wish the volume were a little louder in certain modes, and I wish the mic were a little better on calls for the person on the other end. Other than that, really solid headphones.
