- How is this different from the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones?
- The Ultra adds Bose's immersive spatial audio, a more adjustable fit and somewhat stronger noise cancelling. These headphones are simpler, cheaper in positioning and rely on physical buttons rather than touch controls.
- Can I use them wired?
- Yes. A detachable cable lets you listen with the battery drained, and the headphones work passively when switched off.
- How long does the battery last?
- Bose rates about 24 hours of playback with noise cancelling on. Real-world use is close to that, and a short charge covers a few hours.
- Do they work with the Bose app?
- Yes. The Bose app lets you adjust noise cancelling levels, update firmware and change settings. Some features need the app, but basic listening does not.
- Are they good for calls?
- The built-in microphones are fine for calls in quiet rooms. In wind or noisy streets, callers notice background sound more than with headset-focused rivals.
- Do they fold for travel?
- The earcups rotate flat but do not fold into a compact shape, so the included case stays fairly large.
