Bose QuietComfort Ultra Bluetooth Headphones, Wireless Headphones with Spatial Audio, Over Ear Noise Cancelling Headphones with Mic, Up to 24 Hours of Battery Life, Lunar Blue - Limited Edition Color

QC Ultras are being quoted as Bose’s best ANC headphones to date. Got these an attractive price in Feb 2025. 1. Sound: The quality of sound / clarity is impressive, balanced and clear across bass, mid and treble. The bass is a passive bass (rich in tone but no physical vibration as I understand it means). The default bass is a bit rich for me so I toned it down using the EQ in the Bose App. Other than that, the rest is crystal clear to my ears. 2. Active Noise Cancellation: Not seen better ANC in this price range. QC Ultras take it up a couple of notches with intelligent ANC adjusting to ambience. You can customise as per needs using modes. The “ANC level” control is no more accessible as a button, but instead is now set in “modes”. You can add any number of custom modes and mark some modes as favourites and the favourites can be toggled through using the multifunction button, when in use. If you want to simply tune out of the world with nothing playing on the device/ headphones, that works too. Silence. 3. Designed for comfort and fit: Lightweight with a cushioned headband and ear pads hinged to an articulated aluminium frame, QC Ultras are designed well for long listening sessions avoiding ear fatigue. 4. Battery Life: Upto a day on music, with a quick charge feature when needed. 5. Connectivity: The Bluetooth 5.3 is enabled, and it can toggle between two devices at the press of a button (say, phone and laptop). 6. Functionality has changed from previous generations with the volume control enabled through a capacitive-touch rib at the back of the right ear pad. 7.Spatial audio is an addition. The spatial audio effect is easily observable. But, some fixing is needed to make the sound as good as when using without spatial audio. Maybe a firmware/software update coming soon? Bose QC Ultra headphones are superior for ANC, comfortable wearing, and sound clarity.

Earpads are extremely comfortable. Don’t know how long it will last though because Bose had a problem with that always. Charges fast and has an amazing sound quality. Background noise is very very faint making it perfect to be immersed into your music. Bose products seem to be durable. Mine was working perfectly even after a drop. One button to start and is very easy to use. Multiple devices can be connected together. Design is very classy and straightforward. Recommend for people who want to use a classy and expensive headphone.

I bought this a month ago for studying with Anc on and this did not disappoint that purpose. The product can be worn easily for stretches of 4hrs at a time, charges quite fast, the cabin pressure is no big deal and can be easily adjusted to. I am no soundphile so did not do much experimenting with sound modes, although sound for songs and videos were good. Cons: The price is very high, the connectivity with bluetooth sometimes acts up(very few times) and disconnects automatically or fails to connect with a single device, Although Anc is top notch it does not work well with sharp sounds so be careful there, although, I'm sure alternative Anc products have this same weakness, in hot and humid climate the earpads will cause sweating and will need more care, mic quality is great but not as good as simply speaking with the phone on your ear 👂. Overall great for studying in a noisy environment, if you have headaches or are sensitive to environmental sounds or just wants to protect their hearing, if you have the money to spend and live in a slightly less humid and less warmer climates.

As an owner of the Bose QuietComfort Ultra headphones, paired with my OnePlus 13, I can confidently say these are an absolute revelation in personal audio. Bose has truly delivered a flagship experience that excels in every critical area, elevating daily listening into an immersive journey. From the moment you put them on, the comfort is simply unmatched. The lightweight design and plush earcups create a gentle, yet secure, seal that allows for hours of fatigue-free listening. This is crucial for long commutes, extended work sessions, or simply losing yourself in your favorite tracks. Now, here's the secret to truly unlocking the full potential of these magnificent headphones: feed them high-quality audio. While they'll make any audio sound good, to experience their true fidelity, you need to step up your source. This is where your OnePlus 13, with its aptX Adaptive support, becomes a perfect partner. With aptX Adaptive, your phone can dynamically adjust the audio bitrate to deliver the highest possible quality wirelessly, minimizing latency and maximizing detail. To complement this, I highly recommend: * FLAC or other lossless music files: Downloading your music in formats like FLAC ensures you're listening to uncompressed audio, preserving every bit of detail from the original recording. * Spotify Premium (when HiFi is available) or Apple Music Premium: Apple Music Premium already offers a vast library in lossless and high-resolution lossless audio, which you can enable in the settings. While I've been enjoying my music immensely with this setup. The synergy between the Bose QuietComfort Ultra's incredible sound and ANC, and the high-fidelity audio delivery from my OnePlus 13, creates a personal concert experience wherever I go. In conclusion, the Bose QuietComfort Ultra headphones are an exceptional investment for anyone seeking unparalleled comfort, world-class noise cancellation, and truly stunning audio. But remember, to get the absolute best out of them, pair them with a device like the OnePlus 13 that supports advanced codecs like aptX Adaptive, and make sure your music source is delivering lossless or high-resolution audio. You won't regret it!

Some of the best premium headphones on the market Pros • Amazing Sound Quality • Great Noise Cancellation • Long Battery • Incredible color/Design Cons • They do use some plastic in the headphone hinges, which at first I was skeptical of its durability, but proved to be well built. That's still a con, as long term use and plastic might prove to be an issue. • not ideal on hot days, ears will be sweaty... but in colder months and in winter it doubles as ear warmers the cons did not affect my overall enjoyment, and I love them still

Se você tem interesse e tiver disponibilidade financeira, pode comprar, vale a pena! Esse fone de ouvido é sensacional, sempre quis ter um fone com cancelamento de ruído de ponta, mas também sempre tive receio de me arrepender em razão dos preços. O mais barato dessas linhas de luxo é R$1.700 (1000xm4), então não se trata de uma compra que você faz no sábado a tarde despretensiosamente. Mas o preço é justificado (até certo ponto) pela qualidade em geral do produto, o material e construção são de alta qualidade, até o momento (10 meses) não vejo nenhum desgaste externo; A qualidade do som é muito boa, talvez não tanto para audiófilos, mas para o ouvinte comum é perfeita; A bateria é excelente, durando muito tempo mesmo, inclusive me surpreendendo quando tenho que carregar; Ele vem com uma case que é de extrema qualidade e funcionalidade; Tudo nele vale a pena, mas o que se destaca e, o motivo pelo qual provavelmente você pensa em comprá-lo, é o cancelamento de ruído. O cancelamento de ruído nesse fone beira o inacreditável; Já testei o fone no ônibus, avião, carro, escritório e os resultados sempre me impressionam. Por alto, eu chuto que ele deva cancelar uns 90% dos ruídos. Se você não estiver ouvindo nada (música, etc) provavelmente vai continuar ouvindo algum ruído de fundo, mas em um nível bem inferior. Se colocar uma música em volume baixo, só escutará ela. É realmente incrível o poder do cancelamento de ruído do fone, creio que a tecnologia não deva ir muito além disso. O ponto negativo do cancelamento de ruído é que, quando você desativa ele ou tira o fone, tem que ouvir alguns ruídos/sons que não tinha consciência que existiam (ar-condicionado, etc) rsrsrsrsrs. Muito bom mesmo. O único ponto negativo do fone é o preço, e esse é um mega ponto negativo. O preço é muito alto, foi o que eu disse, é um artigo de luxo e, se você só quer ouvir uma música em paz com algum nível de silêncio, existem outros fones de ouvido que vão cumprir a tarefa por uma faixa de preço muito menor, de R$300-600, como por exemplo o fone da JBL ou os da Anker. Portanto, se tem interesse em cancelamento de ruído de ponta e, não vai comprometer a renda do seu ano (porque esse é o período que você vai passar pagando ele), vale muito a pena! É um fone durável e creio que ainda vai valer cada centavo.

J’ai déjà testé pas mal de modèles dans cette gamme (Sony XM5, AirPods Max, Bose QC45), et pour moi, le QuietComfort Ultra sort vraiment du lot. La réduction du bruit est juste étonnant, bien au-dessus des AirPods Max, même dans des environnement bruyant assez difficile (vent). Niveau confort, c’est un sans-faute : il est super léger, ne fait pas mal à la tête, même après des heures d’écoute, et s’adapte parfaitement au personne qui porte des lunettes (ce qui n’est pas le cas de tous les casques). Côté son, il y a pas mal de basses a la sortie de boîte mais avec l’égaliseur de l’application (très simple à utiliser), on peut régler ça comme on veut. Résultat : un son riche avec et agréable pour tous les styles de musique, par contre j’ai pas ressenti une grosse différence avec l’Aptx adaptatives et sans et le côté immersion plus artificiel que autre chose. La housse rigide fournie est super pratique, bien meilleure que celles des QC45 ou AirPods Max qui est une blague. Je l’ai aussi testé pour le gaming : nickel en solo, mais à éviter pour les jeux multi à cause d’un petit décalage. Au final, ce casque est une réussite, polyvalent et bien pensé. Je suis ravi de mon achat et je le garde sans hésiter !

Great sound, super comfortable for longer listening times, good noise reduction too. The way to turn the sound up and down via sliding your finger over the headphone side is brilliant as well. The USB-C charge port is great for convenience as well. Study the user manual well before use! The button for turning on and off is not as obvious as previous models (it's the blue tooth button held for three seconds), and the more minimalist, multi-function button is hard to remember in how many taps at what time does what... I also found the auto-off function was strangely unreliable, draining the battery in the storage case a couple of times when I was not wearing them. Just learn to turn them off manually. The biggest real negative for me is the changes to the travel soft case they come in, with no outside storage on the case like the previous Quiet Comfort cases had. I used to be able to place a pen, passport and credit card in it, ideal for when flying (really the only time I use them) overseas. That all said, these are much better than the previous Bose QC headphones, if not more complex, just study the manuals first and enjoy their great sound.

Great headphones noise cancellation works very well
