Bose QuietComfort Ultra headphones stand out for strong noise canceling, rich sound, and a foldable design that feels solid in hand. The low latency codec support also makes them a better fit for gaming and watching movies with tighter audio and video sync. Comfort is generally excellent, though long listening sessions can still cause fatigue, and the set is heavier than Sony rivals. Controls are the main drawback, with the button layout and gesture handling feeling less intuitive than simpler alternatives.

Common Questions (5)

  • The Ultra is reported to sound better than the Sony XM4 and slightly better than the XM5 for ANC, with slightly better comfort than the XM5 as well. It is also heavier than the Sony pair, but it folds for easier storage.

  • The Ultra uses physical buttons instead of touch controls, which can be more intuitive for some tasks. The downside is that the button layout can feel random and the gesture-based controls are described as unreliable, while Sony's touch earcup controls are easier for pause and playback.

  • The Ultra is reported to be about the same comfort-wise as the original QC, and both are among the most comfortable headphones out there. For long listening sessions, some users still notice fatigue after a full day, so comfort is excellent but not completely fatigue-free.

  • Yes. The Ultra supports better codecs, including a low-latency option that is useful for gaming and helps keep audio and video in sync for TV and movies.

  • Best Buy clearance and open-box units can be deeply discounted, with one pair reportedly bought for $57 and still in protective film. That makes the $183.20 certified refurbished price less compelling if a local open-box unit is available.

The ultra supports different and better codecs, for example a low latency one that you definitely would need for gaming, and probably would want for watching tv/movies, to have good sync between the audio and video.

I chose the original qc's over the ultras due to the lack of physical buttons and reportedly wonky gesture based controls.

Would use just on plane/gym, I got the bowes SP too material are better but think qc is more comfortable to keep.

Is the ultra more comfortable than qc?

Worth noting that Best Buy has this on clearance, meaning any open box units are deeply discounted. Got a pair a couple weeks ago for $57, still had the protective film and everything.

These sound better than the XM4's I have. I can't really tell the difference on comfort however if you fly long haul flights you still need to marry these with earbuds because you do start getting fatigue wearing them a whole day. I find also find these more intuitive to control by hand due to the buttons than the X4's.

They are the same comfort wise. Both are some of the most comfortable headphones out there.
