QuietComfort Ultra Headphones
QC equals Quality Confirmed!

I remember buying the first set of QC15s many years ago, and thinking these are game changes. I did not think that Bose could top that with iterations of the QC range. Fast forward to the new headphones the QC ultra, a nice stylish pair of headphone that go back to the soft rounded finishes leaving the sharp lines of the NC700s. Bose have done what they know best. The fit is light and comfortable and they don't make your ears sweat like some of the competition. However I didn't buy these cans to keep my ears warm. Out of the box the set up was easy, already having the app meant I just connected and I was pretty much ready to go. First up like all new AV kit I buy, I have to see how they performed to Queens Bohemian Rhapsody, Freddy was alive and kicking in my ears, his tones resonant with crystal clarity. Everything from the guitar solo to the alto vocals punched their way out of the immaculate drivers. Not to be outdone I had to bring Mick and the boys in with a little Rolling Stones and Sympathy for the Devil. I opted at this point for the immersive experience, the clear handslaps on the drum to the warbling of Jaggers dulcet tones. The experience was immersive and gave a full concert feel. The clean sound really worked as some 360 or immersive technology misses and creates quiet spots. After two good tests, I decided to really test the ultras with a piece de resistance, the true audiophiles master track, Ludvico Enaudi's Devenire in HD. This track has it all powerful grand piano coupled with a cacophony of strings. I had to sit down as I listened intently and could hear the finger strikes on the keys, and the pull of the bow across the brilliance of the strings. I didn't think Bose would create something that could step above the current crop of noise cancelling headphones but they have. An amazing piece of technology that allows you to appreciate music how it should be. My final test will be on a trans-atlantic flight seeing how they fair with the ongoing noises and switching of devices.
