Bose Noise Cancelling Outdoor Speakers

Have 2 other Bose Noise-Cancelling headphones over the years and I always felt somewhat disappointed in the quality of the noise cancelling, but figured this is what it is. Now I know differently. These Sony headphones literally shut down nearly all the noise where I can't hear anyone talking to me and priced reasonably, unlike the Bose or Apple headphones.

Ive had several other noise cancelling headphones by Bose (QC35 II) and Beats (Studio Wireless) and I always hailed Bose as king of Noise Cancelling headphones. Now the only thing that Bose has over Sony is the durability of the headphones, my Bose headphones I could pretty much bend however I wanted and they wouldn't break. The Sony's are a bit more stiff, but the material is still premium! I originally went with Bose because of their comfort though, I like to wear my headphones for an extended period of time and the old Sony's (XM1 and XM2) got uncomfortable after a few hours. With the new design however, I can see myself wearing these all day! What does Sony have to offer that's better than Bose? - Noise cancelling (much better) - Sound quality - Battery life - Customization through app - Accessories (better quality auxiliary charger cords, as well as a good airplane adapter!!) - USB-C Charger!!! (as a MacBook Pro owner this was a must, I hated micro-usb so much) - Comfort? (I'm still testing this out but ill update in a few weeks if its better or on-par with the Bose QuietComfort 35 ii)

Best looking noise cancelling on the market. Great performance. At least equal to Bose

Better than than the Bose Quiet Comfort for noise cancelling. With 3 dogs and an early bird spouse, these have saved my sanity!

This is my first pair of new Bose headphones since I purchased my Bose noise cancelling headphones roughly 6 years ago. The difference in the audio experience and the noise cancelling features is hands down the best yet! The fit and feel of the headphones are very comfortable, lightweight, and fit the contour of my head very nicely. Aesthetically, the headphones look top-notch and very well put together. Battery life is more than I would ever need in any given go, but I have yet to run into any performance or charging issues. Pairing the headphones with the Bose app was seamless, and the product demonstration/tutorial was fantastic. I fly a lot for work and for anyone wanting to tune out the white noise of air travel and have a truly immersive audio experience, look no further than the Bose QuietComfort Ultra.

Ordered it replace a Bose Headphone with Noise Cancelling. Very happy about the purchase, quite heavier than my previous headphone but the quality is there. Really like the possibility to modify the EQ with the app. I also use it to play guitar with my amplifier, great sound overall. I recommend

My Bose Quiet Comfort Headphones arrived a couple of weeks ago and they have quickly become one of the things I look most forward to after a long work day. Forget Calgon… my QuietComfort Ultra’s take me away! I didn’t think it was possible to improve upon the sound quality I’ve come to love with my Bose products… but it seems Bose is “winning” with the release of their new headphones. Set up was easy… after charging the headphones,, it only took a couple of minutes…if that. I first had to download the Bose App to my device and then added the headphones to my account. I can control all the features from the App and the primary ones directly on the headphones. I set my preferable modes on the product and can easily make changes as necessary. My favorite setting…complete immersion. This setting uses the highest noise cancelling level and plays immersive audio in the motion setting. Definitely next level quality sound. I’m able to easily answer calls as they come in as well. The call clarity on my end is perfect… cancelling outside noise distractions of passing emergency vehicles with blaring sirens… and of course the occasional barking dog. I have to take time to locate the speaker in that callers say I’ve sounded muffled at times. It’s possible something is partially covering the speaker …. Maybe it’s my hair, but I’ll figure it out as I continue exploring the features of my new headphones. With that, noise cancelling sound immersion is what I need at the end of a long day. I can unwind to the musicality of contemporary jazz… that sounds like I’m live in studio. Try them for yourself… you won’t be disappointed.

I went into B&H looking for a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. The floor attendant told me that it would be mostly a toss-up between Sony and Bose for top-of-the-line equipment. I eventually settled on Sony because I was more interested in listening to natural voice than to bass and musical effects. So far so good. I am happy with the performance, which kept my ears protected during the 9-hour flight home.

I am a traveling consultant that is on the road every other week if not every week. For me, noise cancellation and comfort is primary concern as I am spending about 8 hours on a plane a week. The other guys used to be my go-to with their folding design and excellent noise cancelling but I always missed the amazing comfort of my Bose QC35. I finally got both comfort and noise cancelling performance with the Bose QuiteComfort Ultra. Sound quality was amazing especially when using Spatial Audio but it’s not for every kind of audio input. I have yet to figure out when to turn it on vs. off for better sound but I am starting to get better. I also love that these fold away in a case which is essential to be able to keep these tucked away in my already full backpack. I look forward to using these for many many years to come and have replaced my standard set of noise cancelling headphones in my backpack.

I received these as part of a Sneak Peek program and am so glad that I did! I have owned Bose noise cancelling headphones for as long as I can remember (several different versions) and wouldn't think of getting on an airplane without them (I travel a fair amount for work and pleasure). I wondered if these would really feel "ultra" / like an upgrade and they definitely do - immersive sound and comfortable (my key criteria!). The controls still take me a bit of getting used to, since they are different from my previous pair - but I'm sure I'll get the hang of them soon!
