The New Bose QC Ultra Headphones

We got a new Bose product, the Quiet Comfort Ultra, and this brings me back

I've had experience with Bose products dating all the way back to that original noise-canceling stuff that really changed the industry

Led us to this previous model, 700 series. Sort of departed a little bit from that original classic Bose design that you see in the airport and on the airplane

Traveler that needs to block out sounds, babies crying, the chatter in the cafe and stuff like that

Now, obviously, times have changed, and Bose is staying up to date with that and including features like what they're calling spatialized audio to give you head tracking awareness, that transparent mode in there as well so you can hear your surroundings if you want to

It's all baked into the new QuietComfort Ultra. Ultra model is not the only model they'll be making

You still have the QuietComfort, which I actually found in this cool kind of green color

But in this video, we'll be focusing on the new Ultra model. Swept away by sound. Hear every dynamic guitar riff. Soft spoken lyric. Turn up the music or silence the world

Features Snapdragon sound. I'm very particular about headphones. Sound and performance and comfort and battery life

Bose is saying we're looking at 24 hours of battery life or 18 hours with immersive audio

Press play, pause the rest. Very familiar kind of travel case here

Nice little hard shell carrying case. And, eee, kind of nice. These are lightweight

I want comfort and sound. These are lighter than some of the other flagship options that are out there

Cushioned headband. Slidy, not clicky. Type C here for charging it up as well as an LED in that location

og audio jack but a tiny little one i'm guessing there's probably a cable here so it

looks like it's a 2.5 mil to a 3.5 mil everything just stays packed in here big labels for right and

left and you can actually see the angular design that going to play a role alongside the immersive audio experience which they calling spatialize give you a sound stage that like somewhere at arm length it moving that sound by knowing the

location of your head simulate the experience of either sitting in front of a performance kind of

out in front of you we have a dedicated bluetooth button the other thing to mention you look around

the outside and you recognize this variety of grills and that's because you have this multi

microphone input and that's how noise canceling works so if we do a quick comparison between the

current QuietComfort and the current QuietComfort Ultra, you can see slightly different layout

sort of old school switch on this one, same 2.5 mil. This one's got like a clicky headband where

this is a little bit more smooth. Weight wise, they're fairly comparable. Actually, before I set

that up, I want to mention another feature. Because Bose has a variety of audio products they offer

including soundbars, you can actually link this and sync this with an existing soundbar. So when

you're on your couch, you can have your own personal volume level. Sure, sure. So it sees the

QC Ultra headphones. Let's connect. Ready to connect. I'm going to actually throw these on now

By default, I have some noise cancelling on immediately. You can name your QC Ultra headphones

What about Dark Star or Fargo Jet? There we go. Ah, so we have a demo for their immersive audio

Sure, let's experience the demo. In the off setting, you're just having your typical stereo

Left, right. Then there's a still setting. So it's kind of right out here somewhere

Still stereo, still left, right channel. But out in front of you, it will track your head's location

So if I turn my body this way, the audio is still here. And then the last setting is called motion

The audio follows you in your head location. If I turn this way, it's still out here

sort of somewhere at arm's reach, but it's adapting and maintaining that positioning

I'll leave it in the still setting for now. So they gonna power up just by opening the headphones from the flat position and they can go to sleep in the same fashion so you don need to actually hit a button If you don use them for 24 hours they power off completely So this little button here is going to control play pause that above the power switch So this same button that you

using for most things is also going to control your noise cancellation mode. So if I press and

hold that I'm now in awareness mode and I can hear myself now pumped through these microphones and

The feeling is I'm not even wearing headphones. Crystal clear as if there's not headphones on my head

Wow. I'm going to press and hold it again. I am into immersion mode now

And then quiet, which is the most extreme noise canceling. That man is gone

Yeah, you're gone, dude. All set. Get started. You see we've got 50% battery life

You also have an equalizer built in. So if you do want to kind of dial in your sound, maybe you want to see a bass boost or if you just want to reach in there and do your own kind of custom that's available

Use your shortcut to resume Spotify. Oh, that's cool. And let's go listen to some stuff

You want some classic Lou Later. There we go. Controlling the audio with the meter is kind of nice

Oh, the immersion mode on spoken word dialogue like a podcast is very strange

Go ahead. Try and say something. Very powerful noise cancelling. As soon as you have an audio source, it just goes, it gets boosted up even more so as I'm

sure you're aware. Like some classical music. Go back to immersion. I kind of like the immersion like in the still mode it's kind of cool they sound

like I have it playing on a record or something over there you can go in and actually create your own mode so I can just say like commute focus home music outdoor and then the parameters that are available in there is the amount of noise cancellation which you can really dial in It really amazing how far these things have come

I remember in the early days being like this level of noise cancellation is too much

Obviously, we saw the development of transparent modes, which do the complete opposite

But to be able to go in there and really dial it in in these incremental levels, kind of nice

There's also a wind block mode that you can apply to a specific setting

immersion setting which can be off still or motion and that's for each mode now maybe i should listen

to something with a little bit more bass some i'm listening to popular music i clicked on listen now

i'm listening to popular music i can't hear you man you're saying things i can't hear you

a lot a lot of low end available if you want it Listen, what are these headphones about

This is about utility. Like I look at this headphone, particularly if you buy it in black like this

and that it can be executive. It can be some sort of famous athlete

It can be a world traveler, just tremendous noise cancellation, really strong transparency mode

and now immersive setting. I personally like how low key the design is

like minimalist almost. like it's the classic form of headphones. The lightweight aspect is also key for me

because if I'm going to wear any headphone or choose to put it in my bag, chances are a comfort is going to play a big role

So that's the new Quiet Comfort Ultra. And if you're wondering about the product line

for the new models, it's Quiet Comfort Ultra and then Quiet Comfort
