First pair of Bose headphones and I am blown away!! So crisp, clear and extremely comfortable. I own several other Bose speakers and I absolutely love them. Bose is the best in the market hands down!!
Overall fairly disappointed with the purchase. Im not sure if I got a defective product or just expected too much from the ANC given all the praise this product has received. I recently took a flight and was very disappointed with the noise cancelling. The ANC is not nearly as good as I expected. Sound quality is fine. Build quality feels good. They are comfortable. Battery life seems as advertised. I would not recommend this product for the price. Will try Sony wh-1000xm6 and see if their ANC is any better.

Hey there! Thank you so much for sharing your honest feedback, we truly appreciate you taking the time to let us know about your experience. We're really sorry to hear that the noise cancellation didn’t meet your expectations, especially during your flight. That’s certainly not the experience we aim to deliver with the QuietComfort Ultra Headphones (2nd Gen).
While it sounds like the sound quality, comfort, and battery life were on point, we understand how disappointing it can be when a key feature like ANC doesn’t perform as expected. Several factors can affect ANC performance, including fit, seal, and environmental noise patterns. If you’re open to it, we’d love to troubleshoot further and see if there’s anything we can do to improve your experience.

We truly value your loyalty and would hate for this to be your lasting impression of Bose.
