Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones: Push the Boundary of Listening

Bose introduced not one, not two, but three brand-new audio products yesterday. The new releases include the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones, QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds, and the refined QuietComfort Headphones. But among these three, the QuietComfort Ultra is the main highlight.

It’s a flagship product from Bose, which aims to go head-to-head with other high-ends, such as the Sony WH-1000XM5 and the Apple AirPods Max. And considering the fact that the QuietComfort Ultra comes with advanced tech and hardware, it could give the competitors a tough time in the market.

Main Highlights of the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones

The brand-new flagship headset from Bose builds up the Bose NCH700. But even though it shares some similarities in terms of the design aspect, there are many meaningful changes. Let’s take a deeper look:

World-class Noise Cancellation

Bose has integrated a completely re-engineered system into the QuietComfort Ultra Headphones. It includes the proprietary signal processing and a highly advanced set of microphones. With this system, the headset can deliver complete isolation from the outside world, letting you get fully immersed in your favorite tracks.

You also get complete control of the noise cancellation level. There are two different modes: Quiet and Aware. In the Quiet mode, you get full isolation from your surroundings. It makes the highs of the playback hit harder and lets you enjoy the deepest bass from your favorite tracks.

In the Aware mode, you get the best of both worlds. It makes the important sounds, such as the traffic, go through and cancel out the loud noises. With this mode turned on, you get to hear your music and surroundings with full transparency. And both the modes of the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones promise to deliver the most accurate sound you can get.

Class-leading Spatial Audio on Bose QuietComfort Ultra

You may already be familiar with the spatial audio feature that utilizes Dolby Atmos. With it, you get an immersive soundscape, making you feel like you are listening to the song at a live concert. But the spatial audio feature of the Bose QuietComfort Ultra has nothing to do with Dolby Atmos.

Instead, Bose is utilizing proprietary audio processing to spatialize the stereo tracks. The great part is that the QuietComfort Ultra Headphones even offer optional head tracking, which further enhances the immersive nature of the sound playback and gives you a fully spatialized experience.

In addition, the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones feature an inertia measurement unit sensor. This sensor detects your head movements, which refines the spatial audio experience. It works when you activate the “still” mode, making the music’s sweet spot remain in the center even when your head is turning from side to side.

Also, the QuietComfort Ultra has a “motion” mode that keeps the music in front of you. This mode will ensure the best possible spatialized experience when you are on the go.

Enhanced Sound Quality

To offer a class-leading audio experience, the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones come with CustomTune technology. This tech automatically adjusts the sound performance of the drivers by considering your ears. As a result, every sound from the playback sounds exactly like it should.

For those wondering, the Bose QuietComfort Ultra tailors the sound quality in three steps. First, the wireless headset analyzes the unique shape of your ears. Then, it makes the drivers adapt to distortion. Finally, the drivers of the headset personalize the audio output in such a way that it’s a treat to your ears.

Furthermore, you get the freedom to customize the sound output of the Bose QuietComfort Ultra according to your liking. The headset is compatible with the Bose Music app, which allows you to tweak different sound parameters to get a truly personalized sound.

Bose has also integrated Qualcomm chipset inside the QuietComfort Ultra Headphones. This chip brings support for aptX Adaptive audio codec. This lets you enjoy lossless and low-latency audio when paired with an aptX-compatible source. There’s support for AAC audio as well. So, it’s not like you can’t use the Bluetooth headset if you don’t have an aptX-compatible device.

Also, the QuietComfort Ultra headset is LE Audio ready. Bose will soon release a firmware update for this, which will enable the LE Audio features and LC3 audio codec.

A Design Meant to Deliver Unrivaled Comfort

True to its name, the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones deliver ultra comfort. It features a high-end build quality with luxe materials, all geared to offer maximum comfort during prolonged listening sessions. What’s more important is that the wireless headset offers an extremely secure fit. It’s like a soft hug for your head and ears.

Thanks to that, you can keep the headset on regardless of what you are doing. On the note of the design, the QuietComfort Ultra Headphones come in White Smoke and Black colorways. Both of them look sleek and will allow you to make a statement.

Long Battery Life of the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones

Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones will impress you in terms of battery life. The wireless headset can offer up to 24 hours of runtime with a full charge. That means a single charging session will be more than enough for at least two days’ worth of music listening.

Reliable Calling Performance

With the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones, you can take calls anywhere and everywhere. The Bluetooth headset comes with a class-leading microphone system, which ensures that your voice is heard clearly in calls.
