I just wanna say, I bought these headphones completely blindsided not knowing what to expect and not even reading reviews. I wanted to buy noise cancelling headphones because during my flight from Costa Rica to New York I had to suffer for almost 5 hours enduring this annoying couple sitting next to me.
When I flew back home I had this headphone the second time around and I was mind blown how these headphones ACTUALLY MINIMIZED THE PLANE ENGINE SOUND TO ALMOST NOTHING. If you are watching a movie you can barely hear anything. It made my flight more pleasant and relaxing. Best purchase in my life. ❤
Hi, i have a question: i would buy this headphones for night sleeping..Is this ANC capable of covering and cancel a very loud noise as, for example, an hammer against the wall or a jackhammer???
Thanks in advance for your reply.
In general, Bose has always made great audio products. And Sony as well. Those are my two favorites for audio products.
Unfortunately this is not an investment
@@joseitsme bose for evere
I’ve still got the original QC35s from 2016 that are still working well and the battery life has held up wonderfully. Only had to change the earcups once, and while it is beginning to show age, it still sounds great. That being said, my favourite earbuds are still the wired EarPods in terms of comfort and mic quality.
yup, my QC35 works perfectly, just some cosmetic damage here and there, I already replaced the cushions twice.
Same here. Just want more bass so I ordered them
Same here. My ear cups literally just fell apart last week while traveling which sent me on a search for new headphones. I’ve been waiting on some definitive reviews to pick between these, Sony X5, Sonnheiser M4…and even considered some pricey Bathys focals. Battery life is probably the biggest downside of these but the fact that these are the only ones with excellent ANC, sound and fold flat-Ican’t believe how large the other cans are in the travel case… I think I found my winner.
Same here. I love the OG QC35s. Still a staple in my arsenal
In the same boat. Only downside is I still have to carry around a micro USB cable. I'm looking to upgrade soon.
Just bough them, here is my honest review. These are the ONLY headphones I have ever owned that don't give me any top head pain after long term wear (1hr+). They are truly the most comfortable headphones I have ever worn, it's unreal. The audio quality is FANTASTIC. Honestly, these are the headphones to buy. You will NOT be disappointed, these are the Rolls Royce of headphones.
Are you an Iphone user or android?
I'm still using my Bose QC 15's from 2009. I replaced the ear cushions, have a zip up head band replacement and bought a separate Bluetooth adaptor that I use with them.
They still look and feel brand new.
14 years of use!
I just bought a blue limited edition from someone who’s also had them since the beginning. They also replaced the ear cups and got one of those zip covers for the headband. The headphones themselves are immaculate and still sound great, but the case is pretty beat up. Just goes to show you how much protection the cases do give to your headphones. QC 15’s were a great product in their day and still are. Great headphones for listening to classic rock.
Same with my slightly newer QC25's !
Cool......who gives a fk
Got mine last week. Absolutely love them.
Great review. My AirPod max stopped working after years. Loved my old Bose. Can’t wait to get back to Bose!😊
Just bought these as my first true noise canceling headphone. Been using gaming headsets and my Galaxy Buds 2 Pro for everything else...and I must say these are incredible. Steep price but I wanted the best of the pack for music and watching content. Love them!
I recently bought these headphones on Amazon. They're now $379 . Definitely worth now. I have no complaints whatsoever. Glad I did my research instead of buying another brand.
i just got a pair today. i like them. very light weight. good sound quality. solid build
To say the least
I have the Bose QC 45 and 35 and they are amazing, I am very excited about these . Bose are the most comfortable and for me the best
My og QC35 are still holding up except in the headband department. I hope future iterations have materials that do not fray
Do you think there are any chances of incoming firmware update to make them work with jack cable when turned off? Its weird when normal QC model has got that functionality
Wow Just hearing David testing out the phone call quality was off the charts. To me that sounded stronger than my Sony xm5's. I've been searching and testing and can't believe what I just heard. The Ultra earbuds don't do as well with the phone quality in loud environments. But they sound so good. I just got the ultra headphones today and they sound so good they feel like the bass can push these Cans off your head. But soon I see how hard I can push the phone quality test with being on a phone call next to my vacuum cleaner. If it pass that then they are a beast.
Got a notification that Walmart had these new headphones on sale for $2.69. by the time I checked the website they we're all sold out. But that's a good omen that for Black Friday they will drop to that level again.
Hi. I am a Samsung S23 Ultra user which support only LDAC codec. Do you think QC Ultra will still be a better option than XM5s? I like to listen EDM.
@wingriderrr I have the S23 Ultra. The Bose QC Ultras use the Snapdragon Sound which uses a high bitrate lossless codec called AptX. It has better latency and data transfers than LDAC. It's not huge, but it's noticeable.
I just got these for christmas and I LOVE them, but I have a major gripe:
You only have two real choices for your listening: ANC or Immersive Audio. You are NOT able to turn this off at all, so its impossible to have just the natural sound cancellation from the earcups to actually take place, instead you either always have to hear whats outside your headphones or have that "cabin pressure" feeling in your ears (or somewhere in between since you can adjust a slider to make different modes). Hope they can release an update to change this because I love using these with my dsesktop and would really like to just turn off ANC altogether
The ear cushion and head band is nkt designed for warm weathers. I have changed on mine qc 35ii thrice. Due to hair oil and normal sweat issue.
After 7 years with my original QC35, i finally made the change with the XM5 at $270 US a few months ago. Maybe I should’ve waited a little longer for these
XM5 are awful
Yeah because those suck.
Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S2e would be my choice for sound quality, to me nothing comes close. I also have Sony XM4 and I only use them when I cut grass, sound quality is not there. I gave in to Sony because too many tech UA-camrs were claiming they were the best.
@@KingKikikoi absolutely. how long have you had your XM5?
@@wavyremix for sure. I'm interested to hear about your negative experience with the XM5
I've been thinking it's almost time to replace my slowly aging Sony XM3 and had been considering the XM5 as the "default" choice. I've never been completely pleased with how the XM3 fit and now that its headband adjustment slider is developing more play and showing its wear and age more, this now feels that I'm about due for a new headset.
But now that the QC Ultra is live I may have to give Bose another try. I'm not liking its usage implications regarding the shorter battery life of the QC Ultra however; I've gotten used to how infrequently I recharge the XM3 and the XM5 is supposed to be more of the same. However what drove me to choosing Sony over Bose in the first place was how much better I thought the top Sony NC/BT headphone at the time (XM2) sounded better than the then-contemporary Bose units. And with you now (perhaps) giving the sonic nod to this new Bose unit, I could be convinced that it's now the time to jump ship, although I still kind of want to wait and see what Sony has up its sleeve. The XM5 has been out for a bit now and one might draw the conclusion that a XM6 generation should be out fairly soon.
I honestly think sony is the better option but aye u like what u like💯✨️🔥
I just ordered a pair of these ultrase for 269. I think Walmart had a price mistake. I currently have the xm3's too and I'm gonna try these out to compare. I still love my Sony's and I just replaced the ear cups because the old ones got super uncomfortable, it helps a lot but I still want to try these Bose. I'll let you know what I think once they get here.
I have Bose QC35ii and was looking to upgrade and my default choice was going to be the XM5's too. But just a few hours ago, I learnt of this QC Ultra being a thing and now I'm thinking of going with it instead. The biggest downside is that here in the UK, the QC ultra costs £449 which is $545.72. The Sony XM5's cost between £270-300. So as you can see, the QC ultra cost quite a bit more. Which for me is kinda a deal breaker. Can't justify spending nearly 500 pounds on headphones.... but I do really like them, lol. We'll see what happens
Trying tor decide if I should return my new quiet comfort and get these I have to wear them for pretty much all day and I want to know which are more comfortable to wear for a long time or if I should just get the earbuds because my head won’t start hurting as bad also can you turn off automatic sleep mode when u take them off your ears
I bought the ultra headphones and received them a couple of days ago,,,I already have the AirPods Max but needed another over head set because as much as I luv my AirPods Max, they are not the most comfortable over a long duration of use (the weight is fine but the clamp is a bit over forceful on the grip for me). The sound on these ultras are great and do the job perfect for my needs.
Sound wise which do you prefer?
how is the anc compared to airpods max?
@@bassyboii I feel it depends on the song,,to my ears I think the spacial audio is still better on the AP Max but the sound signature more to my preference is the Bose (the Bose sounds better on my iPhone also). No clear winner but comfort would be enough to point me to the Bose.
@@endless5661 I have only tested them around the house, I find both excellent ANC and the Bose is definitely comparable to the AP max's.
Time to put qc on airpid for ultimate anc
Love the review, but did get distracted by a burning question: what is that phone case you are using in the shot showing the app?
I have the QC35ii headphones, and I really am happy with the sound and noise canceling technology. What I really don’t like is the connectivity issues. Sometimes it takes minutes to get the headphones to pair, sometimes they just don’t pair. This happens with my android and my MacBook occasionally. Sometimes it works fine. Do these new headphones have this kind of issue?
that's odd, my qc35ii has no pairing issue., connects to everything and switches between 2 devices immediately.
@@papagen00 yeah sometimes I just can’t get them to pair whatsoever and I just stick them in a drawer for 2 weeks and then they work
My QC35ii also REALLY struggle with switching between two devices. If I take a call on my phone, end the call, and then fire up a Zoom call on my computer I often have to open the Bose app and manually toggle off my phone. It's annoying to say the least.
My QC35 always had problems when I left my phone 20 feet away from me
I purchased it 3 days ago. I saw this video before the buy. And put it simple, it's a great product. Very comfortable, and the sound es excellent. But the noise cancelling... woooow. Beyond this world. Thanks for this video by the way.
The Sony 1000XM5 are better in every way.
@@Mr.Z1989 No they aren't
@@TableDog They are.
@@Mr.Z1989 LMFAOOOO sony. Stop lmfao
@@Mr.Z1989the biggest problem of sony xm5 is the design. Sooo ugly that I had to return mine and buy a bose qc ultra. Bose is better in terms of design and comfort.
Still using the Bose QC25 that I bought in 2014, although the on/off button is broken and I had to change the pads a couple of times it's still doing the job after using it every day for 10 years... (Not much is left of the feaux-leather on the headband though.)
I bought a pair yesterday and coming from the Bose 700's the most immediate difference I picked up was that there is no longer a touch panel on the ear cup to swipe forwards, backwards, tap to pause and swipe up and down for volume. Instead, there is a button for pause, next, etc, and a hard to (firstly) find touch slider on the edge of the ear cup for volume. I will get used to it, but I did like the ear cup touch panel of the 700. Also, the Immersive Audio feature, whilst nice, is a bit different to that of Apple's. In Motion mode, there is a slight lag as the direction of audio catches up with your head movements. Otherwise, incredibly good set of headphones and love their ability to seamlessly switch between my iPhone and PC.
Any feedback on the ANC compared to the 700's? Is it worth upgrading?
@@yelmasry91 I haven't done a full side by side on ANC. My guess is they are similar. But one slight annoyance on the Ultra is that if you have them in Immersive mode, and you then take a call, you can't hear yourself speak. You need to change the mode to Work or some other pre-set so it can pass through your speech. Upgrade if you want the immersive audio - which is very good - and the better packaging. Don't if you're expecting better battery life, or ease of use.
Unfortunately, i was not able to smoothly move between my macbook air and iphone 15 pro. I was hoping this would be working well as i used to have QC35s that did this well. I find that my Airpods max do this much better as well as spatial audio. Too bad they always seem to be dead.
I'm happy with the ultras glad I upgraded
can the carcups be change at all with these or no? just what to make sure
I’m going to get a pair of these early next year
As a Bose 700 owner I like that these have gone back a little more towards the quiet comfort build style
I bought the BOSE 700s a couple years ago... but not really enjoying them --- so Im gonna try the QC Ultras and see how they work for me.
I have em for over 2 maybe 3weeks and I love em. They are better than the sonys in my opinion. Definitely look more expensive and sounded better while they don’t create that pressure on your ears like some of the previous Bose and Sony anc models did. They have the 20$ coupon so I think the price is pretty acceptable
The coupon changes everything!
@@serrael-182😂
I think the xm5z are better 💯✨️
Nice, however I look forward for QC55. I prefer physical buttons in such device.
I have had the Sonys for a year, and i can say i prefer these over them simply for the bottom that helps control things. I live in New England so hanging l having cold hands and having 90% touch pad controls doesn't work
I definitely love these headphones and there are high in price but worth the buy in my opinion. Excellent video in description 👍👍👍👏👏👏👏
I was able to test some headphones in a shop and the QC Ultra are the best, by far, in terms of ANC. As regards the battery on a plane: if the cable is connected to the headphones, the Bluetooth function is disabled, hence increasing the battery life. Also, nowadays the planes have usually a USB port that can be used to charge the headphones.
About the headphone cables: this is obviously for connecting to the airplane screen audio, if I want to connect my headphones to my phone, I can use the Bluetooth connection on a plane as well. If I don't like Bluetooth I can buy an adapter ($1-2 on Aliexpress) to connect the headphones via cable to my phone.
Curious about these for the immersive mode
Are these worth upgrading to from the QC35ii? I have these headphones and use them everyday and love them!
Do it, im upgrading from QC 25's ill get them a set of new pads and keep them as backup.
Please also compare to the earbuds. Travellers like me really want to know whether it's worth carrying a bully over ear or if we can just take the earbuds.
Flying 10 years ago : All frequent flyers had over ear bose. Then it changed.
I have the Sony mk5 earbuds but I would probably compare them to earplugs rather than noise cancelling. But that's just my opinion.
Hope you help with that topic too
deym how many generations of bose or other headphones this guy reviewed.. he's a legend great review ☺️
😂Thanks for watching!
Best in the business!
just a question how wide are the actual muffs or what you call it the things that go over your ears
Im upgrading my existing Bose qc 45 that I’ve got for over 2 years I’m going to upgrade to the Bose Bose QuietComfort Ultra Noise Cancelling Headphones and my old Bose headphones to one of my family members
seriously, this guy is the best reviewer on cnet, i love his "facts with zero attitude" style. So sick of the low level humor/presentation
Thanks. Appreciate the support!
I am struggling with Bose qc ultra, wh1000xm5, B&W px7s2e, and Airpodsmax since I am an Apple user. Which is the best regardless of sound quality. I just wanna have a headphone with good ANC and transparency mode.
bose has flat sound , sony has warm bassy type sound and apples are great sounding that atmos in apple music i ok n feels n sounds nice overall for apple devices i like apples airpod max i bought them in 2020 still works great i got mine replaced too cause had some issue with apples service centres are great and boses too as i've heard but sonys i don't like there service centres not helpfull b&w great but i dont own anything from them the airpods cushions are fabricish material feels itchy in begining but can get used to it then it doesnt tear like leather or foam fake leather stuff plus magnets so easy to clean etc i think wait for airpods max 2 maybe it'll come at the end of this year bose seems like cool option but sound and volume control on them i don't know bose always had flatish sound but it does have eq so hope that helps with that , apples awesome sound works great just a bit heavy lets see what aipods max 2 is like
Bose over-the-ear headphones always have simultaneous multipoint Bluetooth, but the earbus always need to be switched manually or on the Bose app.
How do those compare to Bowers PX8?
My QC25's are still going strong, just need to order some new ear pads for $30 and im set for years to come.. no worries about charging as it holds a battery and space for a spare plus you get the airplane adaptor why wouldn't they include that ???
I bought this last week but I decided to return. The immersive audio for me is not good compare to airpods pro 2 and for me the sound quality is not that good, maybe because I own sennheiser earbuds thats why Im not satisfied with the sound quality of ultra. And also the buttons on this is very annoying when Im playing music with anc I can still hear the clicking sound.
I've just ordered this headphone earlier today. What do you mean it doesn't have USB-C Audio?
what about easily replaceable ear cuffs? or do i have to perform a surgical operation to replace them?
I've enjoyed his reviews for years. He doesn't do benchmarks or any kind of objective testing. However that doesn't make his review any less informative. He look for the details and ALWAYS conscious of the competition.
"that doesn't make his review any less informative"
Is that why he failed to mention that these Bose headphones must be powered? The 3.5mm headphone jack will not transmit audio into these headphones unless they have USB-C power or are charged which is a dealbreaker especially on very long flights or commutes when you may have forgotten to charge them.
Thanks for the support!
@@PSYCHOV3N0M I probably failed to mention some other stuff as well. Hard to be perfect. 😢
I wear a size 8 New Era Yankees cap, the 700 is tight for me. Will these Ultra fit more comfortably in your view? thanks,
In theory, yes. Bose claims they will fit a wider range of heads better. If you buy them, just make sure you buy them somewhere you can return them without any penalties. I think Bose still allows you to do that.
@@davidcarnoy961 Just ordered the Sandstone exclusive colorway. Thanks for your review.
@@paulchiu Let me know if they fit your head or not!
I have read that the latest version of Beats Headphones are Apple Max Headphones lite. Bose QC Ultra does not have the same chip as Apple's headphones, does this make Beats a better value proposition than Bose QC Ultra for less coin?
First of all, BEATS are a "black thing." I'm shocked you would even buy them lmfao
@@arsenioseslpodcast3143 No need to be shocked, they are not the only pair of headphones I own. People wrongly think that we all own one pair. They are good for what they do.
Good Friday or Amazon prime days. Damn. The new ones went on sale at Walmart for $269 already. Yes. They are sold out. But that is a good hint they may go on sale for Black Friday
I am very curious about these... I love my apple AirPods Max, but for long period of time they hurt my head.
From some of the reviews I've seen, the Bose QC Ultras don't have a "normal" mode. Meaning both ANC & transparency mode is off. That would definitely impact battery life.
Got the NC700, QC45 and QC35II's. Think I can break the addiction this time. Unless the price drops below, say $250 on black Friday.
Got the these last week and loving them. Have qc 35ii, qc45. Nc700 and these these are my new daily driver
Me too. I have all the same headphone. And sennheiser m4 and ultra are my new daily driver
Are the pads replaceable?
I want to use with my dac amp dongle and my fiio btr7 but if you have to have them on to use them them i cant see this being possible due to interference.
Bose continues to make sure that i keep my money in my pocket .
Good looking pair of headphones 🎧
Just wanted to inform! I got these and absolutely love them! However, i sadly realized a few months later my ears were having an allergic reaction (the reason it took me months is because i thought it was an after effect of chemo therapy). So just be aware of that. I am going to try to change the cushions first. The ultra ones are made of Protein leather, the QC45's is made of PU leather. As soon as i went back to my 45, the reaction stopped.
So, i ordered some new cushions from something called Wicked Cushions, as theirs is made of PU leather also. Will update once i get them if it fixes the problem.
This is likely very rare, i just wanted to inform.
4:08 From the icons and descriptipn, it looks like Still mode uses Head Tracking, and Motion mode does not… 🤔
Still loving the NC700 design as it’s far more modern. These just look like huge earmuffs.
Imo these look much more clean and classy. The 700s look loud and sporty, almost like you want people to look at your head.
@@0dylan To each their own. Majority like the 700s more. The 700s look more premium, expensive, and modern. These just look like the QC35s with a touch of metal (or fake metal).
Samsung phones do not support AptX adaptive. They didn't pay for the license, so AptX is all you get. (coming from the Z Flip 5 on Android 13)
so u can choose to use regular aptx in dev settings? cuz i also have the flip 5 but im not sure if it works
Sadly, you are correct on the licensing issue. Pretty ridiculous that these new Galaxy phones are powered by high-end Qualcomm Snapdragon chips and they don’t support aptX Adaptive.
@@notbrian4299I don’t think you can.
@@davidcarnoy961 thats really sad
With the premium price, Bose could have done better on the controls functions on the headphone like Sony XM4/XM5 and with the USB-C. I really like the sound quality of the Bose a little better than Sony XM4/XM5. I guess I'll stick with the XM4 for now.
How about sound leaking? How loud can I play music without disrubting the person next to me in the bus or at the office?
I legit js bought these today and I love them so far, they are great and have everything I could want. The only thing as he said is the fact that the wire jack is so old and nobody even uses those. In addition to that the as he said the pairing with my iPhone is kinda weird. It’s js a lil confusing but besides that it’s great and they still work great so idgaf. These r awesome. If u can get a pair go for it. Acc scratch that these r expensive. I got them for cheaper.
You missed that these Bose QuietComfort Ultra headphones must be powered. The 2.5mm / 3.5 mm headphone jack will not transmit audio in to the QC Ultra headphones unless they have USB-C power or are charged. This is a dealbreaker, especially on very long flights or commutes when you may have forgotten to charge the QCU.
On one side, you have a somewhat valid point but on the other side most people travel with at least 1 or 2 battery banks which they can use to power these headphones.
Just saying...
Sit in first class usually have a power outlet 😂
@@PSYCHOV3N0MLots of headphones don’t actually allow for charging and listening at the same time tho
Is this true? I am so curious about this. Saw the other reviewer says that you can still listen with wire after running out of battery.
The 700s didn't have this limitation. are you sure?
How’s the sound quality with the “immersive” DSP turned off?
Good. The Immersive Audio mode sounds better with some tracks than others.
My AirPods Max's Bluetooth sucks so hard I'm ready to ditch them. Thanks for this review!
Bose products last forever lol. They don’t break.
I literally upgraded to this from my QC 25 which is still working great. I wanted the Bluetooth mainly
Funny for me to read this, I've been using my QC 35 ii for 6 years with an average 10hrs per day (probably more) and the metal band finally snapped haha might have to get these new ones sadly
Watching from Makkah SAUDI Arabia
I bet u want these headphones
They Fold!!!!!!! YESSSSS
I feel like that makes them one of the best pair of headphones for digital nomads. They fold + great ANC
These vs AirPod max?
Noise canceling comparison?
I purchased the Ultra just hours ago.
I love mine
Did Bose still skip the find my earphones feature?
Friend of mine bought Bose Earbuds Ultra Honestly very disappointed With App And connectivity issues
They didn’t stay connected with App
Random disconnect random Music getting Stoped
The case feels flimsy Very Low quality
I’m a huge fan of Bose products
Bose killed it. Hands down
I own a Samsung Galaxy S20 phone. When I receive text messages, the headphones do not alert me. Is this alert feature possible on these headphones? Also, I'm unable to activate or use Google Assistant with these headphones. Is it even possible to use Google Assistant with these?
No
Does anyone here know how to use the immersive audio feature on laptop?
The lack of new drivers is disappointing, Bose is really behind on music playback sound quality.
They are £449 here in the UK. Which if converted into USD, it would be $545.72. Abit too much
I'm sticking with Beats Studio Pro and the Sony WH1000MX4
I use mine almost exclusively at the gym and I've owned everything ... What's never mentioned is the size of the Sony cans they are massive and you will be lucky if they last you a year of gym use (poor build quality) and the same goes for apple ... Now apple is just straight garbage for gym use. They broken on the way home from buying them ... Garbage ... Bose quality they last ... Every pair I've ever owned has lasted and I have never had problems with. I typically replace the earcups and sell them in great working condition to buy the next generation. My 700s lasted the full 4 years and continue to work great to this day. I got my ultras last week and the build quality has only improved. As a gym rat I wouldn't go with Any other pair ... And that's not even getting into customer service of Sony and Apple 👎
ugh back to plastic buttons after my airpod max randomly died :( im getting airpod pro
What do you mean by aptX support? Does it mean that it doesn't support Lossless and Hi-Res Lossless?
I still have my QC-2 and it is still working great. I owned the QC-2, another prior which I can't remember the model, QC-15, and the QC-25. Not only those products but also owned their Lifestyle 600, Soundbar 600 which I replaced with the Smart Ultra Soundbar 900, Companion 2 Series II and Companion 2 Series III. Do you think I was a good customer? Well, I still have a grudge with Bose for the way they treated us, those who bought their defective Quiet Comfort headset (defective on/off switch). That's when I switched to the Sony WH-1000MX4 which sounds fantastic!! Works just fine with all my Apple products (not listing my Apple products, too many) and my home theatre system (not Bose). Sorry Bose but no longer interested on your products. Customer service is paramount and yours is below bar. Hopefully you upgraded your service for the benefit of those who may still believe in your products.
Should we upgrade our 700s?
I think you should but I love the 700 designs hope they would make a upgraded version 700 while keeping the original design
Is it worth upgrading from the Bose 700 that are two years old?
want to ask the same question
I have the same question lol
Same
No USB c port is a deal breaker .I am good with Sony xm5
Are these waterproof/sweatproof?
Nope, NC needs a lot of mic holes.
If it enabled usb-c audio the battery problem would be solved. You could easily connect a small battery to it and continue using it over Bluetooth. Just like you can with the Sennheisers
I’m having trouble switching between devices from desktop to mobile phone. I basically have to turn off the Bluetooth connection. On desktop in order to return back to my phone audio
Anyone else ?
I need snapdragon sound review BOSE QC ULTRA
White or black help me choose !
White is much more fingerprint resistant, so if you like both colors equally, go with the white
Black
Will Bose update there Bose 700s
*their
Ultra is the update of 700
I'll take them 😍😍😍💯💯💯
