QuietComfort Ultra Headphones - Sandstone

These headphones are truly outstanding. The noise cancellation is next-level—it completely blocks out background noise and creates a calm, immersive listening experience. Whether I’m working, traveling, or just relaxing, the sound quality is rich, clear, and incredibly detailed. Connects to bluetooth easily and quickly. I use it for music and also calls on walks and the mic quality seems to be great. They’re also surprisingly comfortable, even when worn for long stretches of time. Everything about them feels premium, from the fit to the controls to the battery life. Once you experience this level of sound and quiet, it’s hard to imagine going back to anything else. Great multi use product.

To start out, I must say I am very fussy about audio. I have a small recording studio, which I spend at least eight hours a day in. I have three different sets of headphones, which all have a personality of their own when it comes to sound and mixing, I have a couple of Bose speakers which are excellent and have always been impressed with their products. I did not buy these with the intent of mixing, just for listening out of the studio. Most headphones don’t reflect what a good pair of studio monitors produce. These headphones , do an excellent job of reproducing accurate recordings, good and bad. The features of these headphones was really more than I needed, but I was presently surprised how good they sounded. As I have found over the years with Bose, there was always a little problem in the mids, but the clarity was so clear it was a no-brainer. Ever since I’ve started using these I can’t get them off my ears. I started using them in place of my flat response headphones because they give me a good reflection of my monitors. they are extremely comfortable to wear for long periods of time and the features are top-notch in the noise cancellation is about as good as it gets in a set of headphones. The volume control can be a little bit hard to get used to, but the more I use them the easier it gets, as usual. The one thing I don’t really care for and it’s being kind of picky is, I normally will use these with a wired connection in the studio to avoid any latency by using Bluetooth. But you have to have the headphones powered on even when wire direct. My other headphones don’t use any battery power when plugged in direct. Now, if you’re into high-tech, you’re going to love the immersive settings on these cans. I have no idea how they pull this off and it wasn’t the reason that I bought them in the first place, but these things are awesome. I guess there’s no way I can really explain how they work and what it sounds like so I guess you’ll have to buy a pair for yourself. The problem with that is that they are a little pricey as always with Bose, but I think in this case they’re worth it. I was prepared to send these back if they didn’t sound good, simply based on how much they cost , so I was pleasantly surprised and how good they were. If you can get by the price, you will be happy with these headphones. Nothing is perfect, that’s for sure, but in the audio department these things come pretty close….Nice job Bose !

I own the Bose QC45 and have recently tried comparable headphones in this class including the B&W PX7 S2 and Sennheiser Momentum 4. The Bose QC Ultra are probably the best among this group when it comes to my top three priorities - sound quality, comfort, and ANC. Here are my relative rankings in these categories: SOUND QUALITY I was a bit skeptical at first that Bose's new Immersion Mode would amount to a mere marketing gimmick, but it's really unlike anything that I've ever heard. It's hard to describe (you have to listen for yourself!). Immersion Mode somehow gives the sense that the audio source is in front of you (almost like speakers), which ultimately creates a more expansive, 3D-ish effect that makes the music "come alive." I now listen exclusively in Immersion Mode and don't know that I can go back to the more traditional, "closed-off" sound of other headphones. The QC Ultra is a definite step-up from the QC45. I was also impressed with the B&W PX7 S2's balanced and clean sound signature; however, I had to return my pair because the left ear cup suddenly and inexplicably went dead after only a week of gentle use. I contemplated repurchasing because of how good they sound but don't want to take the chance on receiving another dud. While the M4 has a loyal following, I was personally disappointed by the Sennheiser sound signature. The M4 was too bass-heavy for my taste; moreover, the clarity/separation for vocals and instruments was muddy and often overpowered by the bass. Rankings: QC Ultra >= PX7 S2 > QC45 > M4 COMFORT Both the QC45 and QC Ultra live up to the "comfort" in their names. Their light weight and plush padding are second to none, with perhaps a slight edge to the QC45. The PX7 S2 is also quite pleasant to wear but a little heavier compared to Bose. I was not a fan of the M4, which felt a bit cheap to me; the material used for the ear pads was not breathable (think hot ears), and the clamping force was tighter than Bose and B&W. Rankings: QC45 >= QC Ultra > PX7 S2 > M4 ANC Bose has earned a reputation as the "King of ANC", a title that is well-deserved IMO. Both the QC45 and QC Ultra are noticeably more effective at drowning out ambient noise than the PX7 S2 and M4. Rankings: QC Ultra = QC45 > PX7 S2 = M4 Hope that my observations help you if you're trying to decide between these headphone options. I plan to keep the QC Ultra as Bose has made substantial improvements to the QC45, namely the Immersion Mode, that justify the price differential for me. I do wish that the battery life were longer, but its other distinguishing features make up for it. Overall, I'd give the QC Ultra 4.5 (rounding up to 5) stars!

Some of the best premium headphones on the market Pros • Amazing Sound Quality • Great Noise Cancellation • Long Battery • Incredible color/Design Cons • They do use some plastic in the headphone hinges, which at first I was skeptical of its durability, but proved to be well built. That's still a con, as long term use and plastic might prove to be an issue. • not ideal on hot days, ears will be sweaty... but in colder months and in winter it doubles as ear warmers the cons did not affect my overall enjoyment, and I love them still

Se você tem interesse e tiver disponibilidade financeira, pode comprar, vale a pena! Esse fone de ouvido é sensacional, sempre quis ter um fone com cancelamento de ruído de ponta, mas também sempre tive receio de me arrepender em razão dos preços. O mais barato dessas linhas de luxo é R$1.700 (1000xm4), então não se trata de uma compra que você faz no sábado a tarde despretensiosamente. Mas o preço é justificado (até certo ponto) pela qualidade em geral do produto, o material e construção são de alta qualidade, até o momento (10 meses) não vejo nenhum desgaste externo; A qualidade do som é muito boa, talvez não tanto para audiófilos, mas para o ouvinte comum é perfeita; A bateria é excelente, durando muito tempo mesmo, inclusive me surpreendendo quando tenho que carregar; Ele vem com uma case que é de extrema qualidade e funcionalidade; Tudo nele vale a pena, mas o que se destaca e, o motivo pelo qual provavelmente você pensa em comprá-lo, é o cancelamento de ruído. O cancelamento de ruído nesse fone beira o inacreditável; Já testei o fone no ônibus, avião, carro, escritório e os resultados sempre me impressionam. Por alto, eu chuto que ele deva cancelar uns 90% dos ruídos. Se você não estiver ouvindo nada (música, etc) provavelmente vai continuar ouvindo algum ruído de fundo, mas em um nível bem inferior. Se colocar uma música em volume baixo, só escutará ela. É realmente incrível o poder do cancelamento de ruído do fone, creio que a tecnologia não deva ir muito além disso. O ponto negativo do cancelamento de ruído é que, quando você desativa ele ou tira o fone, tem que ouvir alguns ruídos/sons que não tinha consciência que existiam (ar-condicionado, etc) rsrsrsrsrs. Muito bom mesmo. O único ponto negativo do fone é o preço, e esse é um mega ponto negativo. O preço é muito alto, foi o que eu disse, é um artigo de luxo e, se você só quer ouvir uma música em paz com algum nível de silêncio, existem outros fones de ouvido que vão cumprir a tarefa por uma faixa de preço muito menor, de R$300-600, como por exemplo o fone da JBL ou os da Anker. Portanto, se tem interesse em cancelamento de ruído de ponta e, não vai comprometer a renda do seu ano (porque esse é o período que você vai passar pagando ele), vale muito a pena! É um fone durável e creio que ainda vai valer cada centavo.

J’ai déjà testé pas mal de modèles dans cette gamme (Sony XM5, AirPods Max, Bose QC45), et pour moi, le QuietComfort Ultra sort vraiment du lot. La réduction du bruit est juste étonnant, bien au-dessus des AirPods Max, même dans des environnement bruyant assez difficile (vent). Niveau confort, c’est un sans-faute : il est super léger, ne fait pas mal à la tête, même après des heures d’écoute, et s’adapte parfaitement au personne qui porte des lunettes (ce qui n’est pas le cas de tous les casques). Côté son, il y a pas mal de basses a la sortie de boîte mais avec l’égaliseur de l’application (très simple à utiliser), on peut régler ça comme on veut. Résultat : un son riche avec et agréable pour tous les styles de musique, par contre j’ai pas ressenti une grosse différence avec l’Aptx adaptatives et sans et le côté immersion plus artificiel que autre chose. La housse rigide fournie est super pratique, bien meilleure que celles des QC45 ou AirPods Max qui est une blague. Je l’ai aussi testé pour le gaming : nickel en solo, mais à éviter pour les jeux multi à cause d’un petit décalage. Au final, ce casque est une réussite, polyvalent et bien pensé. Je suis ravi de mon achat et je le garde sans hésiter !

Great sound, super comfortable for longer listening times, good noise reduction too. The way to turn the sound up and down via sliding your finger over the headphone side is brilliant as well. The USB-C charge port is great for convenience as well. Study the user manual well before use! The button for turning on and off is not as obvious as previous models (it's the blue tooth button held for three seconds), and the more minimalist, multi-function button is hard to remember in how many taps at what time does what... I also found the auto-off function was strangely unreliable, draining the battery in the storage case a couple of times when I was not wearing them. Just learn to turn them off manually. The biggest real negative for me is the changes to the travel soft case they come in, with no outside storage on the case like the previous Quiet Comfort cases had. I used to be able to place a pen, passport and credit card in it, ideal for when flying (really the only time I use them) overseas. That all said, these are much better than the previous Bose QC headphones, if not more complex, just study the manuals first and enjoy their great sound.

Great headphones noise cancellation works very well
