i originally had the qc 45s and wanted an upgrade so caved and got these. have to say they are very similar! i love the immersion mode it’s great! turning them on and off is little annoying as there is no switch like the 45s, just multipurpose buttons. how we they are amazing, they fit great and the noise cancelling is once again great!
Would definitely recommend these headphones, impressive sound quality, bass is just right and not overpowering. I would prefer to have these over apple headphones, and they’re cheaper too. Even though these are still 300 plus headphones, for what you pay, you get back in quality.
Dual BlueTooth connections (eg iPhone, TV). Also can use as a directly connected device eg to Yamaha Keyboard (where you cannot uses Bluetooth headphones). Bluetooth disconnects automatically when phones taken off head, and reconnects automatically when worn again. Built in mike for answering telephone and switching source to phone. Can be controlled by Bose app which allows you to control and manage two sets of headphones if you need to switch between them. Around the ears fits comfortably and with noise cancelling shuts out all extraneous sound – you’re effectively dead to the world around you!
The Headphone overall is good, but has some minor issue with immersion feature, doesn’t immerse properly.
The Audio it’s gives echo effect on the background.
Other than that it comfortable, easy to use fast process very effective and offers different features which is very good
Having had a set of Sony XM1’s for years I was expecting big improvements in sound when I finally upgraded to these. Initially I wasn’t that impressed with the so7nd gains but after a good month of listening and playing around with the EQ, they have really come alive. They have taken some significant wearing in thought. They produce a nice, warm sound and open with most music well. Detail is really good. My only gripe is the hinge mechanism. Is machine metal and it’s sharp. REALLY sharp. So much so I can’t actually belive they’ve let them go to production this way. It’s a minor niggle, but if you csth your skin in the hinge when unfolding it’s bloody painful!
The base is very good for a headphone, and the sound isolation is on another level. I cannot hear my partner at all if I’m playing or watching something, and they can get pretty loud/excitable when they’re playing with their friends.
As I use them with my PC, I can’t attest to what their battery life is like. The built-in mic quality isn’t great, and reduces the quality of the audio output when used. Of course, the mic is meant to be used as hands-free, not when used hardwired with a PC like I do. A separate mic is therefore a must.
Comfort wise they work well for me, and I’ve got a big head. No pressure pain after extended use, and overall very lightweight and flexible.
Overall then, not much I can fault them on. Time will tell of course as to their reliability.
Quoted battery life is shorter than claimed by other Bluetooth head phones but I find the battery does not need charging frequently. It lasts many days when using them for about an hour each day.
They turn off automatically when you take them off for a period of time, there is no off/on button. I lowered the default time period to 5 minutes. So when you take them off it stops playing the music and will resume playing when you put them back on before the time out period. If not put back on before the time period times out they shutdown.
If unused for a long period they do not automatically connect to the phone. You just need to touch the Bluetooth button to reconnect (effectively the Bluetooth button is the On button).
The ‘swipe strip’ to set the volume is very good and much easier to use than fumbling for Vol Up/Down buttons.
I also have an older set of Bose Quiet Comfort head phones. This new ‘Ultra’ set is far superior.
The different modes that can be selected via the Bose App are great, as you are able to fine tune what type of listening experience you want. For example, you can control the extent of noise cancellation on a sliding scale, how the music should be played (eg. Immersive) and save as a profile for future use. There is also a button on the back that can be programmed to change between modes.
In my opinion these are a better product than the AirPod Max, which was another headphone I was considering but eventually went for these after listening to them both.
The only thing I don’t like is the case and the way you have to fold the headphones, I’ve got used to it now but initially it was a pain. Also, I’ve had some issues with the app, in particular in an Airplane where it’s seemingly demanded internet connection to log me back into the app, after being randomly logged out. At one point I wasn’t able to control my headphones at all, but managed to sort out in the end. I’d recommend checking you are logged in and leaving the app in the background before losing internet connection.
First of all Appearance is good, the headphones are a nice slick black with a little light gray trim. The look good and i like them.
Quality wise they are plastic but i think this is for weight reasons. They are also still made to a high standard. They extend smoothly and have a good solid feel to them.
The battery life is good although for the size i feel it could be better. I have now used the for a few hours on two separate days and the battery is now down to 60% so not too bad. A nice touch is that they go into a sleep mode when you remove them from your head so don’t need to keep powering them on and off which is a nice touch. Although this does obviously drain battery very slightly quicker.
The fit is comfortable and the once on you don’t really notice them.
As for the noice cancelling its good, but i feel it could be better. For them being over ear headphones i did expect them to be far better than my airpods pro earbuds. They are.but not to the extent i expected. With noise cancellation on and no music playing you can still hear people talking next to you.i honestly thought they would be better than this. Maybe just me.
Overall they are very good. Value for money i’m not sure.
