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

Comfortable. Sound great. Good noise cancellation. Good battery life. Connects well with iPhone.

I love them. Many negative reviews were on the foam not lasting and not being able to get replacements. However, the foam part IS NOT meant to last forever and THEY DO sell replacements on here for them. They sound really good, they do block out sound. I fly in 6 weeks to Greece, so I will come back after that and let you know how they did on the plane. From wearing at home, you can hear everything around you if you have a certain option (ALL IN APP) but the have an all immersive that fully blocks out all sound. People around you cant hear what you are listening too either (tested that too). I wear glasses and earings and they fit comfortably over them. When using the right setting it is so quiet if you close your eyes you feel in a zone outside the world, alone, peaceful, and quiet. This is good because when there is alot of noise, I can get anxious from it and need an escape. These will work well. The color is so cool love it, and they have EQ and IT DOES work. They have an easy user friendly app and customizable button. A volume slide bar, you can skip music with it or go back, pause it, answer the phone, answer a second call at the same time. It really is a good buy. I was 100 off when I bought it. Really worth the money. LASTLY they are super light. I and you bearly feel them on your head. I love them and you will too!

To start out, I must say I am very fussy about audio. I have a small recording studio, which I spend at least eight hours a day in. I have three different sets of headphones, which all have a personality of their own when it comes to sound and mixing, I have a couple of Bose speakers which are excellent and have always been impressed with their products. I did not buy these with the intent of mixing, just for listening out of the studio. Most headphones don’t reflect what a good pair of studio monitors produce. These headphones , do an excellent job of reproducing accurate recordings, good and bad. The features of these headphones was really more than I needed, but I was presently surprised how good they sounded. As I have found over the years with Bose, there was always a little problem in the mids, but the clarity was so clear it was a no-brainer. Ever since I’ve started using these I can’t get them off my ears. I started using them in place of my flat response headphones because they give me a good reflection of my monitors. they are extremely comfortable to wear for long periods of time and the features are top-notch in the noise cancellation is about as good as it gets in a set of headphones. The volume control can be a little bit hard to get used to, but the more I use them the easier it gets, as usual. The one thing I don’t really care for and it’s being kind of picky is, I normally will use these with a wired connection in the studio to avoid any latency by using Bluetooth. But you have to have the headphones powered on even when wire direct. My other headphones don’t use any battery power when plugged in direct. Now, if you’re into high-tech, you’re going to love the immersive settings on these cans. I have no idea how they pull this off and it wasn’t the reason that I bought them in the first place, but these things are awesome. I guess there’s no way I can really explain how they work and what it sounds like so I guess you’ll have to buy a pair for yourself. The problem with that is that they are a little pricey as always with Bose, but I think in this case they’re worth it. I was prepared to send these back if they didn’t sound good, simply based on how much they cost , so I was pleasantly surprised and how good they were. If you can get by the price, you will be happy with these headphones. Nothing is perfect, that’s for sure, but in the audio department these things come pretty close….Nice job Bose !

So just to preface my friend is a bit of an audio file and has shown me a lot of medium to high end consumer headphones and systems. I've been super cheap myself and only just recently started to try higher and higher end products granted the highest I currently have is a pair of JBL ead buds that I think were around 40-50 dollar mark. (got them on sale might retail higher) So these Bose headphones are quite the step up in price but honestly comparing the two... A DOWNGRADE in sound quality. I don't think the ear buds I'm comparing it to are even that great! I literally just went back and forth between the two with the same connection, audio file, everything, and they just aren't that good! I don't get it. Was extremely disappointed even when I first tried them it was extremely noticeable. Don't get me wrong they are a good set of headphones for around the 50-100 buck mark but that's the problem they are 3x + that budget point! I've been very impressed with speakers from Bose and was just utterly disappointed with these. Idk if the sound cancelling really costs that much because that's really the only outstanding feature that these have. Main gripes: -Price for what they deliver. -They seem to be really proud of their "immersive experience" but they sound like they inject white noise put the audio threw a high and low filter (as much clarity loss than a security camera loosing connection)and then play that audio in an ecco room and they push it to you like the best thing since sliced bread and you know it might be if the music or whatever didn't sound like crap now. Like it could be really cool for immersive binural experiences like that tech has potential to make vr 360 video super immersive but they really do modify the audio too much. -Audio quality: as in the crispness and high tones are worse than what I have and the punchiness of the bass is worse than my ear buds that are like 1/8th the price. The bass itself is also very not present by default and has to be boosted a bit to sound normal and maxed to have it sound good. It can shake or rumble to its credit, and reproduce really low frequencies it's just not as punchy if that makes sense. -Loudness: typicaly I like the 75% volume mark to be a good loud workout/hype type volume(and typically it is) for these that's about 90%. It's max volume is (in most cases/with typical balanced audio) one click too loud. When listening to quiet audio I literally can't turn it up enough which is so annoying. It's like just barely loud enough to be ok for 80% of the time but it's literally just on the line and that sucks. I want to say 90% of the cheaper ear buds can be too loud and give me the controll over how loud I want my music. And like it was very similar with the bass, when boosted it just barely hits that ok level but can't go past just ok. -They don't like to stay on my head. I do have a really small head and I know that less clamp force generaly means more comfort but if you do get these you probably want to because of their insane noise cancellation and if you can only wear them at home not moving much in a chair where it's probably fairly quiet already that's doesn't really seem ideal. Anywho some good points -Very comfortable -Noise cancelation literally sounds like you teleport into outer space - They do sound good and have a warm unique sound to them ($100 dollar good not 300) -Loudness and bass are just so barely satisfactory (for me it's a negative but for you, maybe that's all you need) -Can rumble and shake even if it's just a little bit. (Definitely feels like it's tuned for mid tones the most) -Battery life is good but again it doesn't stand out For the price, the brand name, and the sound quality I am really disappointed. I was very excited to have finally splurged on a really nice pair of headphones to get a taste of some better sound quality but was left with a bad taste instead. It's not impossible that I didn't do something that would have made them so much better or that I was doing something wrong because I only had them for a day or maybe I even got a lemon somehow but they did work so I don't think so.

*Please be aware this review is being written from a totally blind person's perspective. * As I’ll be one of the first to review these headphones due to how new they are, I’ll try to go into as much detail as possible. First off, upon opening the box, you are greeted by a simple layout. The box purely contains the case and the manual. The case is more of an oval shape compared to the NC700, which is more of a square. Inside the case you’ll find the headphones, USB C to A charging cable and an audio cable if you want to connect it to a wired source. Opening the case up, the headphones feel very sleek, around the same size as other pairs, but the first thing I noticed was the fact the cushions mould seamlessly with the headphones, creating a complete seal. There is not that tiny gap like on the NC700 and others. What I liked immediately though was the fact the cushions slip into place with the use of six little tabs which simply snap into place. It’s a lot easier, for me at least, than trying to line them up with a tiny crack as with previous designs. When you turn them on, they have to be on both ears to activate, so Bose can use its tuning technology to personalise to the shape of your ears. This has to be done every time you put them on, turning them on with only one earcup in place won’t work. They truly live up to their name of ‘quiet comfort,’ I am wearing them right now as I type this, and you can almost forget you’re wearing headphones, you can hardly feel them, they almost mould to your head. They truly do hug your ears. The most comfortable pair I’ve ever owned. I also like how the Bluetooth and power button is slightly indented, whereas the multi-function button is perfectly smooth. The volume strip is also able to be felt, and I love how you just swipe it with a finger to change the volume, and you can also configure a shortcut to it, in the Bose Music App. Now moving on to connecting them, it’s just the same as with previous Bose headphones. Turn them on, you’ll hear the tone, and then the voice prompt will tell you they are ready to connect. Select your device and away you go. You can also store up to 8 Bluetooth devices in the headphones, which is a nice feature. The noise cancelling is without doubt the best I have heard yet. You can hardly hear anything when it’s on ‘quiet’ mode. You can also adjust the level of ANC you want, plus in aware mode, there are also ‘active sense’ settings, which block out loud noises by briefly turning on ANC, then turn it off again when the sound stops. This is good for if you're in a restaurant and a blender starts up, for example. These also have ‘wind block’ which mutes the microphones for NC while you’re on a call, so you don’t hear the wind against them. The person on the other end will still hear it though. Now the highlight, the immersive audio. I personally think it’s incredible. I’ve heard details in my music I’d never heard before, it gives the song or other content a completely new layer of depth. Bose weren’t kidding about that. I also have the Apple Air pods Max and these knock spots off those for their spacial audio and head tracking. It really does sound like the music is coming from a speaker in front of you, it sounds like the speaker nearest you when you turn your head, whichever way you turn it. I flicked between spacial and stereo, and I tell you what, I’ll never go back. Stereo sounds bland in comparison to this. I will always use spacial now wherever possible. The base is full, as is the treble and mid-range. You don’t miss anything, just like the artist intended. If you’re like me, you won’t go back either! As soon as I heard these were coming out, I just had to get them. It’s my birthday next month and my family said they would pay for them, but I just had to have them now and wow I do not regret it at all, and neither will you! Just one final note, I researched it last night and Bose will be releasing Ultra ear cushion kits for these headphones soon so we can buy replacements, if necessary, mine will probably wear quickly the amount I’m going to use them. I’ll probably use them on my work laptop too. All in all, yes, their pricey, but your ears will thank you, for both the superior comfort and second to none sound at the same time. Worth every penny, happy listening! Edit: (Because I struggled with this too,) if you want to clear the Bluetooth list and start over, press the power and multi-function buttons at the same time for a few seconds while the headphones are on, until the voice says 'bluetooth device list cleared.'

I waited awhile to review this. I think it's important to be accurate in a review. Fake reviews are evil and go against the spirit of a review, which is to give someone thinking about buying something the correct information. Anyways, the positives of these headphones are the noise cancelling and the sound quality. I have some very good phones to compare these to and the sound quality on these is legit good. The noise cancelling is top notch, at least as far as the tech allows it to go. I work in a loud shop and these do really good on some sounds and not so good on others. But I've tried cheaper noise cancelling phones and these are straight up better. The negatives to these are the price for one. But I guess that's the going rate for good quality phones with among the best if not the best noise cancelling. The other negatives are some quirkiness to the controls. Sometimes they give me trouble turning on. They've always eventually turned on but sometimes I've had to try a few times. That should be fixed in a firmware update, unless it is a problem unique to mine. And the last gripe I have with them is the battery life. I mean, It's stated at around 25 hours. I work 10 hours a day so I have to charge them every couple of days. For the price I would expect maybe a bigger battery. Overall they seem to be high quality and they are comfortable. So in conclusion, if you want to spend the money I don't think you'll be disappointed. The few problems I list are annoying, but not deal breakers, at least not for me.

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 !
