Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones
Loud, Clear, and Expensive

The Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones sounds quite amazing. They can get very loud, it has 3 modes for listening – Quiet, Aware, and Immersion. I use the Immersion setting and tweaked the EQ a bit to my listening pleasure. With Immersive Audio, there are 3 features you can enable – Off, Still, or Motion. I set mine to Motion, so it tracks the direction your head movement and always puts the sound almost like if the stage was always in front of you. The Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones can connect to 2 devices at the same time, I have it set up to my TV and phone. The build quality seems very good, the ear cushions are leather with memory foam, it has some metal accents and plastic as well, the earcups can be folded to lay flat on a surface and bend inwards for easy storage. The battery life is less than average, you can get about 18 to 24 hours of listening time, my experience on Immersive Audio is closer to 16 hours. You can charge these headphones via USB-C, no wireless charging mechanism. It has a simplistic design, with just 2 buttons, one is the Bluetooth/Power Button, and the other is the Media Control that you can use for to skip/pause/play/rewind. You can adjust the volume by sliding your finger on the volume strip. All the controls are located on the right ear cup. You can also assign a Shortcut to the volume strip. As far as connectivity goes, you must download the Bose Music app to use/enable features. I am not able to see the battery life on the device I use, or set up the features through Bluetooth settings, unless I specifically use the Bose Music app. The fit will be different for everyone, for me they have a tight fit and can become uncomfortable after prolonged use. The noise cancelling feature is good, I wish they will include a feature to turn the noise cancelling off if it detects you are having a conversation with someone, as it stands if you take the headphones off whatever you are viewing/listening to pauses – but not always the case, it fails to detect this sometimes. You need to press the Media Control button to switch between modes or use the Bose Music app. Lastly, the carrying case is a bit tricky, you have to fold the headphones a certain way and place them correctly into the indentations in the carrying case, if not it won’t close, these are not the type that you can just fold and quickly insert into the case. Quite an expensive product, good build quality and decent sound, with so-so battery life.
