thank you so much i’m sold ! i’m not looking at any other reviews about these headphones lol. I’ve done so much research, now i’m waiting for my color (sandstone) to come back in stock 😁 !
These headphones are absolutely amazing. They are super lightweight and extremely comfortable. The QC ultra’s sound quality are out of this world, especially with immersive audio turned on, but I still exchanged them for a pair of AirPod max. Lol
I LOVE that you took a sec to discuss how ANC works, even going as far as demonstrating with your fingers. I think a lot of people have unrealistic expectations for the tech, and while everyone discusses ANC in their videos, nobody’s done it as well as this.
i dont think i have ever been so sootthhh.. / relaxed while watching a review. Damn i love your voice! also really good video. Curretly trying to make my work pay for these becouse of my disability. But damn. I dont think i need them anymore. Your voice just made CALM the fuck DOOOWWNNN 10/10 would watch agian.. Listen? agian IDK 10/10 you got yourself a forever subscriber!
I’m looking forward to the AirPods Max 2. Now I bought the Bose quiet comfort ultra. I don’t want to buy the old AirPods Max because I think they are outdated. Do you think that Bose is the right purchase for an apple power user as me, with many apple device around me ? Or do I have to buys the old AIRPODS MAX (and return back Bose) because I’m an apple power user ? Or do I have to wait the APM MAX 2, while keeping the Bose now ? What do you think I should do ? I need a pair of over ear earphones right now, I can’t wait and I don’t know what to do hahaha
I think the APM max is the better choice for you. Outside of the build and listening experience, APM is buttery smooth when changing between apple devices and the playback controls are top notch whereas the Bose have a delay and the playback controls from the MacBook suck/ aren’t worth it. The APM should not be bought at retail at this point but only when on sale. Will you be selling what you have and buying the APM2 no matter what when it does release? If so then return the Bose, buy the APM on discount and enjoy them until the 2s.
@@visionarywatts I think you are right. Thanks man, you are very helpful. As a matter of fact I noticed the delay and it’s very bad of course. What do you thing about the noice cancelling performance between the two ? Which is better ? I watched a lot of videos and many people said that Bose are better than AirPods Max or anything else, while other people said that AirPods Max are better than Bose. What’s your opinion? Because for me noice cancelling is a very important feature.
@@John-S-01 from my experience, the ultras have more powerful ANC since sometimes I can feel the vacuum-like pressure at 100 ANC and the ultras do better at muffling irregular sounds that can't be canceled out. Again, I don't have numbers to back it up, just my thoughts/ experience. The ANC on the APM are good as well but I give the edge to Bose.
Are you switch to APM? What are your impressions? Now i'm in same situation :) Don't want to wait APM2 until autumn, but all devices by Apple and don't think what Bose is great choice
@@visionarywatts everyone on Reddit said you can’t 😭 I was in a little headphone emergency with my nc700s randomly telling me the battery life unprompted. Went with a second hand pair of qc35ii. Audio is different but not bad and great to be able to turn off ANC with a button on the earcup instead of going into the app on my phone. Thank you for replying 🤗
@@georgebee3090 ah okay! and to clarify, there is no physical button to turn off ANC on the Ultra headphones. I think I showed a screen recording from my phone in this video where it has to be done in the Bose app. And the ANC in the default modes can't be changed in the app. So at face value it might seem like you can't but through the app in custom modes you can. Hopefully you like what you have!
Thanks for this but I just thought I would inform you that the is no link to the next video at the end. It might be a TH-cam problem as I have noticed this in other random videos I have watched.
What are your EQ settings for the Ultra’s? I have messed around with the equalizer in the Bose app, but I cannot seem to find that sweet spot. I would love to try your settings!
Good video. Of course you can never shut off the Apple headphones, but the biggest criticism I hear about the Bose Ultra is that you cannot completely shutoff NC. For some of us, constant ANC brings ear pressure issues so that would be a dealbreaker for me. I still am in love with my Bose QC25....10 seconds to swap out an AAA battery rather than charging. Thanks.
Thank you for this. I've been contemplating buying QC Ultra. As someone who has an Apple ecosystem, unfortunately, Airpods Max weren't comfortable for me. Everything else is great about it, but comfort is one of the things important to me. My primary use for headphones is for home office and traveling. I do not need them when working out or just strolling.
Watts, my first time visiting your channel. 🔥🔥 Bro, you killed this video. DOPE!! You most definitely keep it 💯. Ok, let me get to it. I only had 1 Bose set of earbuds about 10 years ago. I returned them a few days later. Well made, nice bass, ok mids and mediocre treble. Fast forward to your video, I am thinking about Bose again. Because of your review. Keep doing what you do. God bless
Bought the Bose for ANC, my ears are shot after 35 years of underground mining. The Ultras allow deaf people to hear their music the way it was meant to be. I don't care about aware mode or how it takes calls, I have the new 45s also and the ultras are just that much better.
Do not buy the Bose QC Ultra headphones. YES! Here is the reason: Power on/off is the worst !!! After holding the power button for 3 seconds, if the device successfully powers on, there will be a voice notification 1-2 seconds later indicating that it has powered on. Normally, electronic products notify you immediately upon successful power on, but BOSE does not. If you wait to release the button until you hear the power-on notification, it will definitely enter Bluetooth pairing mode. If you release the button too early, you hear the power-on sound but cannot connect. I have tried up to 8 times to successfully power it on. Turning it off presents the same issue (although it's somewhat better than turning it on). Despite its sound quality being better than my SONY WH-1000XM4, the daily frustration of powering it on makes me want to throw it in the trash. It is completely not worth it.
Yo, is your voice all super boomy in real life like that? I don't think so, man. You gotta EQ your mic or something 'cause it's a real pain to listen to. It's just so unnatural.
Thank you for the real, unbiased review bro. I got these over the holidays and appreciate them for what they are. 👍
I'm glad you like them! I travel with these. Thank you for watching.

😂
Even though I believe the xm5's are a way better option than the max's this made me laugh
Out of the world sound is kind of an exaggeration when compared to Seens M4'S and Focal Bathy's. But other factors what you mentioned are correct.
I LOVE that you took a sec to discuss how ANC works, even going as far as demonstrating with your fingers. I think a lot of people have unrealistic expectations for the tech, and while everyone discusses ANC in their videos, nobody’s done it as well as this.
dude why are you so good at this lol? Love this vid. Very informative. Love your sound design bro. Making me want these.
Nah, I'm mid 😉
Finally someone that has a great voice! thanks for the review.

Great review. Your voice is perfect for reviewing. 👍🏻
Hey Watts 👋 this is the first time I saw your review, so wanted to say great job. Also you have an amazing soothing voice 😊.

Excellent production quality my guy this was a pleasure to watch
Can you disable ANC completely with the QC ultra? I made the mistake of ordering the QC45 before I knew you can’t turn it off.
Yes, in custom modes you can turn it all the way off
@@visionarywatts everyone on Reddit said you can’t 😭 I was in a little headphone emergency with my nc700s randomly telling me the battery life unprompted. Went with a second hand pair of qc35ii.

What are your EQ settings for the Ultra’s?
I have messed around with the equalizer in the Bose app, but I cannot seem to find that sweet spot. I would love to try your settings!
For me 10 bass, 10 on treble, 8 on mid
How do you plug in the Bose 2.5 mm to 3.5 mm audio cable?

There was always a certain way to store the headphones in their case, even with QC35s.
Appreciate it!
I think the Sony xms just dominate the over ear anc market so glad to see some competition but hope bose see this video to improve their product.
I appreciate your thoughts 🙏

so what you ended up with ? did you buy bose ultras or stayed with airpods? which of headphones you like the most ?
There he is 🙌🏻
Here I am!! it's been a while for a long video

your voice is so smooth!btw how does playboi carti sound through the headphones
Bought the Bose for ANC, my ears are shot after 35 years of underground mining. The Ultras allow deaf people to hear their music the way it was meant to be. I don't care about aware mode or how it takes calls, I have the new 45s also and the ultras are just that much better.
Great review - thanks.
such a good review
u should have way more subs! one of the best reviews i have seen :) Keep it up
If only I were consistent, lol. Thanks for the compliment!
These are dope headphones. Listening with my pair
Agreed 🫡
I'm not gay but your voice🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤
haha

Th self noise on these is unbearable. My Sonys are silent. Think I’m sending them back.
Amazing Headphones.
The only review that talks about wired mode being utterly useless and a disgrace
I love Mine
