Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones White

Bluetooth-Kopf­hörer im Test: Kopf­hörer mit gutem Sound und Akku

Die Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones brillieren durch ihr Noise Cancelling und einem ebenso überzeugenden Transparenzmodus. Zu dem guten Sound gesellen sich eine komfortable Bedienung, ihre Leichtigkeit und die sehr kompakte Bauform – eine Empfehlung im Premium-Segment!

The QuietComfort Ultra Headphones are the best noise-cancelling over-ears on the market with Bose somehow managing to best its predecessors’ already excellent performance. Improvements to the audio, battery life, and wireless performance are also welcome, although the call quality is slightly iffy. While the Immersive Audio is a confident stab at spatial audio, it’s not quite an essential feature

The Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones are not cheap, but from the moment you start using them, they feel worth every penny. The sound quality is electrifying, and the noise cancellation swallows you into a black hole of silence. They're also comfortable and come with great extra features, including a reasonable stab at spatial audio from their Immersive Modes. It's just a shame about the sub-par battery life.

Bose has brought its ‘A’ game with the QuietComfort Ultra Headphones – they’re expensive, but they also deliver sound quality and noise cancelling straight from the top drawer

With the QuietComfort Ultra Headphones, Bose remains near the top of the headphone heap. While Immersive Audio is great at times, the results are inconsistent and can be downright bad with some albums and songs. Still, the default tuning is improved and puts these headphones closer to the level of Sony and Sennheiser sonically, mostly due to added bass, increased clarity and enhanced warmth. Bose needed to nail its new trademark feature to help justify the higher price, but it failed to do so. The QuietComfort Ultra Headphones showcase a number of improvements over previous Bose models, but they’re not good enough to dethrone the king.
