The Bose QuietComfort Ultra Wireless Noise Canceling Headphones Drops Below $200

The QuietComfort Ultra is Bose’s highest-end noise-cancelling headphone (this is the gen 1 model). The Ultra is a significant upgrade over the standard QuietComfort headphones both in terms of audio and noise-cancelling performance. It’s comparable to heavyweights from other brands like the Sony WH-1000XM6 and the AirPods Max.

Compared to the QuietComfort and its predecessors, the QuietComfort Ultra supports spatial audio for better sound immersion and better passive isolation thanks to redesigned ear cushions that offer a more secure seal. It has been updated to Bluetooth 5.3 and is compatible with SnapDragon Sound, a feature that optimizes sound quality, connection stability, and latency for your streaming audio when the headphone is connected to an Android device.

Other features include an “Aware” mode that picks up ambient noises and amplifies them so that you can listen in on the outside world without having to take off your headphones, dual-hinge design that enables the headphones to fold up and flat for easier portability, a respectable 24 hours of battery life on a single charge, an updated USB Type-C port, and Bluetooth multipoint for simultaneous pairing with up to two devices.
