Years ago, I tested the Bose QC35II and eventually Bose QC earbuds. While the active noise-cancelling (ANC) was excellent, I found the sound quality a bit flat for my taste. Since then, Bose has changed that sound signature, releasing one of my absolute favorite open-ear products, the Bose Open Ultra. I was also highly impressed with the Bose SoundLink Plus and how robust its audio playback is.
With those recent experiences, I was looking forward to seeing what Bose has done with the latest generation of the QuietComfort Ultra over-ear headphones! I’ll let you know right now, I was definitely not disappointed with the sound quality this time around. There are some things you should know before buying, though, so I’ll get into all of that below.
