QuietComfort Ultra Headphones
Excellent with a few imperfections

I've been using these headphones for hours a day since I got them. They're really comfortable so far. Initially they had a bit of a gross smell, I don't know if this is from the case or headphone materials but it's nearly worn off. At first glace I thought these looked like decent quality but the only thing that lets them down is the padding on the top band and ear cups. It does look like it will crack/peel quickly. Having had this issue with 2 of my last 3 Bose headphones I'm disappointed they haven't used a sturdier material but only time will tell.
The headphones are easy to set up. Download the Bose Music app, connect, and you can change all the settings easily within the app.
Personally I think the immersive sound is a game changer for blocking out noise. It sounds like the music/dialogue is in the room around you and my wife has had to take drastic measures to get my attention as I can't hear anything else.
I love the ability to sync to up to 10 devices at a time and be able to cycle through them. The headphones do try and switch devices when you play sound through a different linked device but it doesn't always get this right. Occasionally it won't change devices or it will change devices even when sound isn't being played. It's not a huge deal breaker for me, as it's quick to use the button on the ear cup to cycle back to the device you need.
The volume can be changed using an area on the ear cup (slide your finger up or down to adjust the volume as needed. This isn't as sensitive as I would have liked and doesn't always register my touch.
I really like the auto feature of reconnecting to devices within 24 hours when you put the headset on, no manual reconnecting needed.
The battery lasts me around 2 work days (18 hours) of continuous use. According to the box it should be 24 hours.
I can't say what the quality of the mic is lik as I haven't heard it myself but I haven't had direct complaints during online meetings.
Overall, I am very pleased with the headset and the few imperfections are outweighed by the quality of the sound and noise cancelling.
