The QuietComfort Ultra Headphones sit at the top of Bose's headphone tree, with the best noise canceling and immersive sound mode. They're very comfortable and offer some excellent features across the board — but are they worth the extra over their less expensive cousins?
Pros
- Modernized design
- Effective Immersive Audio experience
- Intuitive controls
- Best-ever ANC
Cons
- High cost compared to most rivals
- Middling battery life for flagship headphones
Bose's cheaper option might not have the sleeker design of the more premium option, but they still pack in excellent noise canceling and good sound. They're very comfortable, and fold up nicely for travel. Is the saving worth buying them over Bose's more expensive model?
