Title: Bose's best offering to date if you value sound quality, comfort, and ANC
Review: I own the Bose QC45 and have recently tried comparable headphones in this class including the B&W PX7 S2 and Sennheiser Momentum 4. The Bose QC Ultra are probably the best among this group when it comes to my top three priorities – sound quality, comfort, and ANC. Here are my relative rankings in these categories:SOUND QUALITYI was a bit skeptical at first that Bose's new Immersion Mode would amount to a mere marketing gimmick, but it's really unlike anything that I've ever heard. It's hard to describe (you have to listen for yourself!). Immersion Mode somehow gives the sense that the audio source is in front of you (almost like speakers), which ultimately creates a more expansive, 3D-ish effect that makes the music “come alive.” I now listen exclusively in Immersion Mode and don't know that I can go back to the more traditional, “closed-off” sound of other headphones. The QC Ultra is a definite step-up from the QC45.I was also impressed with the B&W PX7 S2's balanced and clean sound signature; however, I had to return my pair because the left ear cup suddenly and inexplicably went dead after only a week of gentle use. I contemplated repurchasing because of how good they sound but don't want to take the chance on receiving another dud.While the M4 has a loyal following, I was personally disappointed by the Sennheiser sound signature. The M4 was too bass-heavy for my taste; moreover, the clarity/separation for vocals and instruments was muddy and often overpowered by the bass.Rankings: QC Ultra >= PX7 S2 > QC45 > M4COMFORTBoth the QC45 and QC Ultra live up to the “comfort” in their names. Their light weight and plush padding are second to none, with perhaps a slight edge to the QC45. The PX7 S2 is also quite pleasant to wear but a little heavier compared to Bose. I was not a fan of the M4, which felt a bit cheap to me; the material used for the ear pads was not breathable (think hot ears), and the clamping force was tighter than Bose and B&W.Rankings: QC45 >= QC Ultra > PX7 S2 > M4ANCBose has earned a reputation as the “King of ANC”, a title that is well-deserved IMO. Both the QC45 and QC Ultra are noticeably more effective at drowning out ambient noise than the PX7 S2 and M4.Rankings: QC Ultra = QC45 > PX7 S2 = M4Hope that my observations help you if you're trying to decide between these headphone options. I plan to keep the QC Ultra as Bose has made substantial improvements to the QC45, namely the Immersion Mode, that justify the price differential for me. I do wish that the battery life were longer, but its other distinguishing features make up for it. Overall, I'd give the QC Ultra 4.5 (rounding up to 5) stars!

Title: Excellent!
Review: 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 !

Review: Love everything about the headphone/headset.The bluetooth connectivity is breeze and the sleep/wake up mode is really fast and accurate as it detects the headset being worn.The only con i have is the battery life lasts for a day and required to be charged. But it is not a deal breaker.I use this more for Microsoft Teams call or phone call, the audio is crystal clear and the mic is pretty good.The NC is definitely very good for the cost of the headphones.

Review: Bose siempre se ha caracterizado por hacer productos de gran calidad y estos auriculares no son la excepción. La construcción es en plástico ligero y la diadema de aluminio con pistones de buena calidad. Hablando del audio: los medios están muy presentes al igual que los agudos, los bajos están un poco apagados pues no son un producto para reguetoneros ó hip hop. La conectividad es muy buena (multipunto), la aplicación también y poseen audio espacial. Un gran producto a un gran precio que en mi opinión lo valen.

Review: I was looking for a great headphone for use in the office and while working. I extensively looked at the Momentum 4, the Sony WX …5, the B&W PX7s2 etc. In the end purchased the Bose because of(1) the test results on call quality(2) alleged comfort while wearing(3) the size of the case (smallest of amongst competition)I am sure the alternatives are pretty good too. I can only state that I am supremely happy with these Bose headphones. Sound quality I find excellent. Some reviews criticize its Immersion settings for sound, but I find it spectacular. Battery duration is fine. Charging it perhaps once per week.Another great feature is that I can work on my laptop and phone simultaneously. The headset transitions very smoothly. Really handy.

Review: Als vielreisender Geschäftsreisender und Büroangestellter, der ständig in Videokonferenzen involviert ist, habe ich mich für die Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones mit Noise Cancelling entschieden, um meine Hörerfahrung zu optimieren – und ich wurde nicht enttäuscht.Das Design der Kopfhörer ist ästhetisch ansprechend und sie sitzen angenehm auf dem Kopf. Allerdings muss ich erwähnen, dass sie für meinen Kopf etwas zu groß sind. Wenn ich mich nach vorne beuge, neigen sie dazu, etwas zu rutschen, obwohl ich sie bereits auf die kleinste Größe eingestellt habe.Die Klangqualität ist beeindruckend und die Geräuschunterdrückung funktioniert größtenteils gut, obwohl ich mir wünschen würde, dass das Noise Cancelling noch etwas intensiver wäre, um wirklich jede störende Umgebungslautstärke auszublenden.Ein Pluspunkt ist die mitgelieferte Tasche und die entsprechenden Kabel. Die Tasche ist zwar etwas größer als erwartet, aber sie sieht elegant aus und bietet einen robusten Schutz für die Kopfhörer, was mir besonders wichtig ist, wenn ich sie auf Reisen mitnehme.Insgesamt sind die Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones eine ausgezeichnete Wahl für alle, die eine erstklassige Klangqualität und effektive Geräuschunterdrückung suchen. Trotz einiger kleinerer Mängel kann ich sie definitiv empfehlen.
