Our Verdict

Bose QuietComfort Headphones Wireless

Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones Wireless

The Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones Wireless are a step up from the Bose QuietComfort Headphones Wireless, but many differences are small. Both pairs use the same app, but the QuietComfort Ultra add virtual surround sound. They also have a bit better build quality, slightly better ANC, and mic and noise handling performance. However, the standard QuietComfort Headphones don't trail behind far and include an analog cable with an in-line, in addition to the integrated mic, which adds flexibility.
