Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones

Literally a couple weeks past 1 year since I bought my Bose QuietComfort Ultra headphones, and the pleather ear cups split open. £25 for replacements from Bose. [...]

[...] I've listened to both songs on my Bose QC ultra headphones, which are far from perfect headphones. [...] The male voice sounds mostly ok, but has also something that sounds like compression artifacts (like mp3 compression, not loudness compression). [...] They sound somewhat like the real thing, but really badly recorded. [...] Heck, I would be furious that they fucked up so bad and would try to get my money back. [...]

Got these for my birthday. Have NEVER used any other headphones since. By far the best I’ve ever use

Please understand that the reason I use those headphones as they have a source button that allows me to change between different sources. Somehow they took this away and the updated version so I have to use an iPhone app to change from my gaming PC to my gaming laptop or from my Apple TV to my Mac? This is the dumbest decision ever and I’m gonna buy one more pair of the original headphones and never buy a Bose party again I swear to God.

I just got refurb 1st gen from Bose with two year warranty included for $183.

Dedicated Beats Audio fan here. [...] The quality of sound, the ANC, the subtle details in my music that I NEVER picked up on the Beats Studio Pros are front-and-center with the Bose. [...] I paid $299 for them and honestly it's the best audio investment I've ever made thus far. [...]

Do NOT buy this trash. It simply is aggravating and I hate it so much I had to find a few videos to post on to discourage others from making the same mistake I did. If you want to spend 30 mins everyday struggling to connect...go ahead

Got the 2nd gen for 260€ new in Europe, I’m really impressed by the mid and the high frequency

I bought Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones. [...] Still expensive but worth it if you've got the funds, IMO. [...]

I got the Bose Quietcomfort Ultra headphones for Christmas! They sound so good and block noise really well. I'm so glad I waited for them to go on sale tho lol 🎧

I just realize on the Airplane when i needed to connect the cable to watch a movie, I couldn't hear anything even if the sound was at the maximum. My wife had her QC35 which have buttons to increase the volume so they were working perfectly fine. Anybody else encountered this issue?

[...] I have one concern regarding the headphones and that is when i raise the volume up, seems like it leaves the headphones everyone who is around me can hear the music. Is that normal?

[...] Which I already have, just needs a replacement as it has aged.

I bought the Bose Quietcomfort Ultra. In sound cancellation they are 10/10. I have to say that when using them wired the sound is very low to the point that if there is noise outside I could say that it cannot be heard well. [...] I bought them in Spain and if I had tried them at that time I wouldn't have decided on these headphones. [...]

I love mine…upgraded for the immersive option. Worth every penny for me. I’m a classical musician and these serve my audio requirements to a tee.

[...] The Ultras are able to accept Flippant v1 but in the end I went with ZMF and a bottlehead crack on the go. [...] In the end I agree the Bose QC (not ultra) are a better price when using Flippant to denote the ANC but if in a quiet enviroment going full Violectric is an option with USB to get round the piwer button next to the USB. It is indeed unfriendly as you correctly say but I based my choice on the quality of the case, the Zip and the comfort. In the end just get some Beats for a consumer sound and hip hop. Accuracy is not important over using any Baxter which you can charge at the same time. [...]

[...] The app has great features top quality anc and even better transparency mode. [...]

I actually like mines I upgraded from the QC45 deff happy with the purchase. Review sounds like more of a personal nit pick but all good lol.

[...] The Bowers&Wilkins had a good sound, but they were heavy, too tight, not really foldable, weak ANC and the tiny buttons drove me crazy. Hard to find the headphones that make you 100% happy, in my case the QC Ultra are very close to it (missing only USB Audio). The QC Ultra price is totally okay btw, if you compare with Apple, Sony and B&W. Will become cheaper anyway very soon.

[...] The sound is okay, but the comfort, at least on my head… is fantastic! The most comfortable headphones I’ve owned thus far. [...]

just got these a few days ago and have already had issues...totally agree about the buttons and I think the buttons are the problem with these. [...] I know they were really trying to streamline the button operation but its not working. My qc 45s and 35s are better, have better button function. However, the ultras are the best sounding headphones I've listened to with the spatial audio, which is why I bought them. [...] But the sound of these blows away the others. Bose please fix the buttons, stick with the 35 and 45 functioning. [...]

[...] Still on the fence about the ultra but then the comfort level is making me doubt and making me maybe want to go to the QC but just not sure yet. [...] There's very much a lack of tactile buttons for the ultra although I love the sound. [...]

[...] I bought the $430 QC ultra to test it against my 2022 QC45's which are already studio quality stereo excellence out of the box and those are going for $199 now I don't need a motion swipe volume adjustment, noise canceling, STILL, MOTION and IMMERSION technology modes for $430 The 2022 QC45 already has excellent STUDIO QUALITY stereo sound and canceling with no need for equalization While you're getting the same phenomenal BOSE sound, the new QC ultra is gimmicky I also recently bought the SONY ULT but returned them the next day because I hate headphones that require equalizer adjustments to sound great. The SONY ULT is not great sounding, it sounds rather cheap to my ears (I'm comparing them to the BOSE) The BOSE QC45 is still an unbeatable headphone and now that they're at $199 I'm going to buy 2 more. [...]

[...] I purchsed the new QC but they feel so much cheaper in quality compared to the 35 so im returning them. [...]

[...] amazing tech and outstanding sound presence in imersion (for music lovers), but in fact there is some unpleasant pressure around the hear that should not be there!!! Its been 10h since I bought it; Now I will see overtime if the tech surpasses the unconfort substantially or if I will pass them on.

I just bought one. My only complain is if I want it hang on my neck, I have to get it off my head and turn it before I put it to my neck, to make the earpads flat.

[...] The only issue I have is the power button and bluetooth. [...]
