Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones (2nd Gen)

Great gift! Love how its noise cancelling feature.

I really love these! Cleanest, richest sound I've had in a headphone. I've owned Beats, Sony (my previous favorites), and Dysons, and Bose takes the crown for me.

Bought these as a back up to my QC ultra1st gen. The noise cancelling is not as good as 1st gen but still impressive for a person who is easily distracted by almost any noise. These are comfortable. I wear them for a 10 hour shift, taking calls in a call center. They connect easily to Bluetooth via laptop and I have about 50% battery left at end of my shift. I notice a blue tooth stutter at the beginning of my calls, muffled sounding voice with all of my Bose headphones that clears maybe10 seconds into the call. I am not sure if it’s the headset or Chrome .

Sound quality and noise cancellation are incredible. Upgraded from the 700s and so glad I did.

I love them , about to take a14 hour international flight soon ! That will be the ultimate test ! Great battery life, sounds good ! Oh yeah also I got them on Black Friday✌🏾

Sound quality is superb, as you would expect from Bose, however it is the other features that I absolutely love! The ability to connect to two devices simultaneously is incredible! I can connect to my phone to listen to music but having it linked also to my work laptop means that I can be listening to music and if a call comes through via Teams, it switches me straight over. Love it!

These are my first set of nice headphones. The color is beautiful and vivid. The sound and noise canceling is excellent. The phone calls are clear which is a huge plus. Being used to earbuds, I didn’t like the bulkiness of the headphones. I use them while doing chores around the house- dishes, laundry, etc… The headphones often slip down to my forehead or off the back of my head when I bend down. There is a very slight echo when listening to podcasts, but this might be possibly corrected thru the app adjustments. Overall, this is a great product, but I will probably return and get the earbuds just because of the bulkiness and constant sliding around when I’m moving.

Received my PU order and headphones opened and had chocolate caramels, and dipped pretzels and some had beeen consumed, returned everything and ordered and everyone was sold out of my headphones

Muffled sound. Despite using the equalizer the highs are muffled . Every one in a while the sound opens up by usually flat and dull

Wow! I love these! They are lightweight. They are so comfy. The sound is stellar with your personalized settings! They were packaged beautifully! They had a pleasant scent too! Super easy to charge! Amazing. Stunning earphones.

I purchased both the Bose and Sonos comparable models. Both were equally impressive. However, the ability to use the Sonos with my Sonos surround and TV. Made it the overall winner. Will be returning my Bose.

The best headset

Quality is incredible, a bit expensive but you get what you pay for

I have a couple of weeks with my headphones and I love them! I just wish they have more colours I want a blue one but wasn't any so I get the purple..

I bought these for a Christmas gift. I gave them to her early. We were going on a flight. Noise cancellation was spot on.

As a classically trained musician and educator, I need headphones that offer honest reproduction, not just heavy bass. I recently trialed the Bose QuietComfort Ultra (2nd Gen) to see if they could handle critical listening sessions and long days of grading. Here is the breakdown of how they performed from a professional standpoint. Pros: - Superb Sound Fidelity: The standout feature is the audio quality. It is a noticeable step up from my previous QuietComforts, offering clarity that makes dissecting a score much easier. - Genre Agnostic: Whether I was listening to a dense orchestral arrangement or modern pop, the balance remained consistent. They don’t favor one genre over another, which is crucial for music education. - Premium Comfort: The design is sleek with a nice metal finish. Most importantly, they are lightweight enough for hours of continuous use without causing fatigue. - Strong Noise Cancellation: The ANC is excellent overall, creating the quiet environment needed for focus. Cons: - Frustrating User Interface: I prefer tactile feedback. Relying on touch gestures for pausing, skipping, or changing ANC levels was unintuitive and often broke my concentration. - Frequency Leakage: While the ANC is strong, it isn't perfect. As a musician with a trained ear, I noticed specific frequency ranges leaking through the silence more than I expected. - Durability Concerns: The ear cups feel like the weak link in the hardware; I am skeptical about how long the material will last with daily heavy use. - Redundant Features: The "Immersive" vs. "Cinema" audio settings were virtually indistinguishable to me. Additionally, if you aren't using the headphones with a smart device/app, many features are inaccessible. The Bose QuietComfort Ultra (2nd Gen) is a high-performing instrument when it comes to raw sound and comfort. If you prioritize audio fidelity above all else, these are a winner. However, be prepared for a learning curve with the controls and potential durability issues with the ear pads down the line.

I love the sound and bass these headphones give, without beating up your eardrum.

The best purchase I have made in a long time for headphones.

I’ve owned every major Bose noise-canceling model since the QC15, and the QuietComfort Ultra is easily the best of them. The standout is still the noise cancellation, which remains the most effective I’ve used. I reach for them every day for that reason alone. Comfort is another area where these excel. They’re light, the earcups are soft, and they’re extremely easy to wear for long sessions. I use them daily for studying, and they help me stay focused without fatigue. The “set down to sleep / raise to wake” feature has quickly become one of my favorites; it makes the headphones feel completely frictionless in everyday use, especially when moving in and out of study blocks. The ability to stay connected to two devices at once is another small but meaningful convenience. As for sound quality, they’re not the absolute best on the market—but they’re very good, especially for ANC headphones. The tuning is clean, balanced, and easy to enjoy, and because the noise canceling is so strong, I often reach for these over other headphones that may sound a bit better in ideal conditions. I’m genuinely excited to see how they perform on an upcoming flight. Overall, the QuietComfort Ultra has become a daily essential for me and stays in my bag permanently.

The product is good and the noise cancellation is excellent.
