Bose QC Ultra Vs Bose QC Headphones - So Whats The Difference Really?

right now i am looking at all of these...QC45 are 299 ( Canadian ) 218 ( US ) and the new QC are 379 ( Canadian ) 276 ( US ).....QC ULTRA 499 ( Canadian ) 364 ( US ).....which would you recommend as i am without anything currently....I need them for music and watching movies on my ipad...i am 58 years old.....great review by the way....thx....cheers from Canada

I was able to pick up my ultras for $210 so I'm happy with my purchase

So bad that the ultra's just don't make it. They just miss some details. They are getting closer to that ultimate headphone though...

in the last review you said they are worth the upgrade over the QC45 and here you’re saying they aren’t worth it over the QC’s. seeing as the QCs are basically slightly adjusted QC45’s…seems inconsistent

the ultras are horrendous. but Bose in general is.

What about the 2023 qc vs Bose qc35II what’s the verdict?

Between Bose QC (not the ultra) and Sony XM5 which one has better ANC and which one has less cabin pressure?

Such a fail. NC700 drivers and same old shitty battery. No thanks Bose.

Why do you wear a hat? That severely changes the seal on your head and therefore alters the performance.

It might be better or worse compared to other products, but you can't compare with the same metrics with that setup because it's an oddity.

Lol it's not just a marginal upgrade. It's a massive upgrade in the sound quality department. The Bose QC Ultra is so much better than the Bose QC when it comes to sound quality. It's not even close. The Bose QC Ultra sound better than the Sennheiser momentum 4 also. Better instrument separation and deeper bass on the QC Ultras. Also when it come tp comfortability I found the QC Ultras to be more comfortable than both. The new Bose QC 2023 model sound worse than the QC 45. With immersive mode off the Bose QC Ultras sound so much better than all of them. I don't like the immersive mode. It sounds like shit to me. Interesting thing is I found the Sony 1000xm5 to have far more cabin pressure than the Bose QC Ultras.

Please do a video between ultra, new quietcomfort and the good old qc35ii

it is normal when i fold it the ear fall and don’t stay fold it?

is the Bose QC ultra a right purchase for an apple user instead of apple AirPods Max ? is the connection with ecosystem comparable ? is the noice cancelling much better than the AMP?

what's your actually work

The immersive sound, soundstage and microphone quality of the QC Ultra is way better than the regular QC. I feel like you need to redo this review and check your settings on the device youvare using, because there is no way they sound similar at all.

Maybe you should watch your edited videos before publishing... there's quite a few repeated sections.

Hello,
I have the ultra headphones, and i can say that they are very bassy, better or as much as xm4 that i used to have. They rattle my head.They are not neutral or flat at all. They are the most bassy headphones that i ever tried. Thank you for your review.

I have had both the QC35s and 45s and I was shocked how much better the Ultra sound actually is. They just seem to fill in the sound the other QCs were lacking. Very clear neutral, full sound. I really don’t plan on wearing for 18 hours straight and charging things is just a way of life so battery life isn’t a huge concern for me anyway..

As someone with a big head who is planning to use these mainly for the gym, what would you suggest? You mentioned the ultras have more "clamping force" which seems like a positive and a negative to me. A positive because it won't fall off my head as easily while exercising, but I also worry that it may end up being too tight and giving me a headache during my workouts. Thoughts?

I have Sennheiser PXC 550 and I am planning to get a new headphones with improved ANC, what are the best options?

Is its just or do you keep saying bose ULTRAM? lol

All this guy cares about is daft amounts of bass 😂

So what do you recommend, qc45, qc or qc ultra? And you mention the qc ultra can't be used wired when battery is flat, and qc and qc45 can be used wired even with flat battery?

Do you think that the quiet comfort have a better noice cancellation overall than the AMP? Or the AMP are better than the Quiet comfort and only the ultra is better than the AMP?

Can you use the Bose Qc ultra or the Bose qc attached to the ps5 controller e and playing and contemporarily speaking with friends while playing with the headphones microphone and no external microphone?

is the Bose QC ultra noice cancellation much better than the Quiet confort ? I REALLY CARE NOICE CANCELLATION, do you think the difference is so big that I have to buy the ultra over the normal quiet confort ? considering that I also like the other ultra extra features over the qc

Why can't this guy pronounce ultra?

Let me give you my opinion, the QC45 were a mess for me, I will not be getting the Ultras because of the size and is unnecessary, I been using the 2023 QC for a while and I can say WOW!!! an improvement from the 45s, the ANC is not painful anymore for some reason, sound is CLEAN like always, the bass is strong even at really low volumes, Gumcaddy says the bass is on the audible side, not physical and I can say that method works, I owe the Momentum 4, really great headphones, but I need to crank the volume a lot to hear the bass, with the QCs there is no distortion, I just put the bass slider to 8 and I can still hear the music crystal clear, Ambient is not the best but is tottaly usable, no complaints there.

Yea you definitely in Sony pocket

These comparison reviews are so valuable, and your reviews are by far the most comprehensive. Your mic tests are da bomb. Thanks for the high value content!

where can I get the headphone stand that is in the video?

Just picked up the Bose QC for $249 at Best Buy - What a Deal! The Cream color looks more luxuries than the Black. Sony XM4 was the same price, but QC's ANC worked better for me. XM4 vs XM5, I'd not spend extra $75 for the XM5. Watching the Drive to Survive on Netflix now. As someone who's been to many Races, I feel like I am on the track side with the QC now. Cheers.

The BosenQC Ultra case was nice except for the incredibly flimsy zipper which quickly disintegrates so the cae is utter bullshit.

Whenever i see the "like the video" spam, i auto dislike

Big Heads Unite!

I’m a huge fan of Bose products

Does anyone go to the gym and workout with any of them ? If so how are they ?? I’m choosing between the two

Can you use the microphone wire with the QC45

I've sent my XM4 back and waiting for my XM5 bc ANC was not that great. Where can I find the stands that you use for your headphones?

If your looking to buy any just pay the extra 100 for the ultras because theyre differnt breed my son.

Bose has a Quietcomfort SC model that comes with a soft case (hence SC) instead of a hard case. Sold at Costco (and maybe other places). I think I'd prefer the hard case.

Ultras can't be use passively?? Thats a big downgrade. Ima get the regular qc because of that. I need to use the headphone wired a lot of time

I'd love to find an ANC headphone that doesn't feel like I have a inner ear followed by a head tumor after wearing them for a little while. The pain is amazingly bad, like on another level. And when I don't get that I get nausea.

I do agree the Ultras seem overly expensive for the materials included.....

Brilliant comparison, so well done. It helped me make up the mind. Thank you so much.

I own a qc45 I love it but it never reached 24 hrs battery life, I dont use it at high volume levels btw

I rarely write comments, but you did a great job of comparison

Does Bose have a history of making Firmware improvements that fix things like battery life and ambient noise? Do they use software to improve functionality?
