Title: Best noise cancelling headphones money can buy.
Review: These are not perfect as headphones go, but they are literally the nicest noise cancelling headphones that any amount of money can buy. They have their ups and downs. I'm going to talk in depth about each of these, but overall these are the best noise cancelling headphones money can buy, so even when it comes to their downsides, you can't do better.First, if you're a regular consumer, you'll be blown away by the sound quality. However, if you're an audiophile used to audiophile grade open back headphones like the Sennheiser HD800, these fall short of audiophile levels of sound quality. Let me explain why that is.Sound quality wise, the sound quality is overall spectacular, but it has two problems. Bass is way overemphasized, and the treble is rolled off. The treble issue is in my opinion the only really major flaw you have to deal with in these headphones. It's really a shame. Even with EQ, there's no good way to make up for the treble problem because the high end is just always a little lacking.Bass is massively overemphasized, but everyone seems to do that these days, and most people seem to love it. Thankfully, you can just lower the bass in the EQ and it works fine, but from an audiophile perspective it's still a mark against it. You can also raise the bass if you want to lose your hearing and cause brain damage from the thump. These things will thump so hard that it'll give you a concussion.Aside from those two downsides, instruments sound absolutely spectacular with amazing definition, separation, and clarity, it's just really unfortunate that they rolled off the treble. It'd be nice if the bass wasn't so overemphasized, but the bass at least is understandable since it seems to be what most people want. I will say however that the mid is absolutely spectacular, so there's that.Even at their best, if you're a real audiophile, these don't hold up to the sound quality of high end audiophile open back headphones by Sennheiser like the HD650 or HD800. These are consumer grade, very top end consumer grade, but they don't reach the heights of real audiophile territory. For most people though, these will blow you away.Noise cancelling wise, these are the best money can buy. I've tried other noise cancelling headphones, and these destroy everything that I've ever tried. It's a night and day difference in terms of the overall quality and effectiveness of the noise cancelling compared to other noise cancelling headphones.However, they're not totally perfect. I have a bunch of air filter fans running full blast all the time, and it reduces their volume by 90+%, but it's a little inconsistent. Some of the inconsistency comes from just how the headphones sit in my head, if I get them just right, it mutes probably 98% of the sound, but if they're just a little off, it drops to between 90-95%. Sometimes it just seems to work better than other times with no apparent explanation. 90% is still a ton of noise reduction. Be aware though that you can still hear things, they're just quiet. Like if you pass a fan while walking, you can still hear it, it's just quiet.There is sometimes a slight amount of pressure from the noise cancellation, but it's very minimal, and a lot of the time there's actually none.Next, we get into the real premium stuff. You're paying like $400 for this, so let's talk about what you're really paying for: the creature comforts and luxury that get overlooked at lower price ranges...For example, the case for these headphones is simply amazing. It feels extremely premium, it has a nice touch, it's light but durable, it has this lovely leathery material that is a joy to hold. It just feels like a million bucks. Even the zipper is nice! The internal layout is likewise spacious, protective and just overall very high quality.Same with the headphones themselves. As an object that you hold in your hand, these things simply feel incredible. They're unbelievably light, I don't know how they made it feel this light. The headband literally feels like a cloud, it almost melts in your hand. I've never felt anything like it. It is insanely soft with this beautiful smooth leather feeling, yet it doesn't collapse when you wear it. I don't even understand how that works, but it does.These are the most comfortable set of headphones I have ever put on my head by far. It feels like you're wearing a cloud. It's crazy. The clamp force is so low that I can wear these for hours and hours on end and they just feel insanely comfortable the entire time.Even just holding these headphones physically, they feel like a million bucks. Like they've got these buttery smooth moving collapsible cans, yet they feel solid and durable, and they have this lovely smooth feeling to them.These are the things you're really paying for when you pay $400. It's just all those little details and luxuries that really make it. They put a lot of luxury into the things outside the actual speakers, and it shows. They feel super premium in your hands, they're a beautiful shape, they're insanely comfortable to wear, they have this elegant simple design to them, and their case is outstanding. Seriously, if you hold the case and headphones of any of the other noise cancelling headphones in your hands, they just don't feel as nice as this.Overall, I really wish they hadn't rolled off the treble. That's its one major flaw. However, these are so good that I can't go back to anything else (other than my open back audiophile sennheisers for serious listening). These are like the ultimate casual headphones for every day use. Watching TV? Use these. Going on an airplane? Use these. Going to the gym? Use these. Going for a walk? Use these. Unless all you want to do is sit down and seriously listen to some high quality music in a quiet room with audiophile headphones, you should be using these.These are your ultimate every day use headphones. If you're a normal consumer who doesn't care about audiophile grade stuff, these will absolutely blow your mind. Even if you're an audiophile, you'll probably end up addicted to them for every day normal use. I'm kindof addicted to them myself, to be honest.

Title: These headphones are the IT GIRL
Review: I can't get over how much I love these headphones. The comfort, the sound quality, and the aesthetic literally ATE. I got the pink AirPods Max and literally hated them: they were so tight on my head, so heavy, sound quality was mid at best, and they felt, though heavier than the Ultras, more susceptible to being damaged/dinged. I returned them within a week and got these instead. These headphones are so elite and far better than i imagined. The sound quality is so clear, phone calls and music sound CRISPY, the noise cancelling is excellent, and you look so cute wearing them!! I have a big ole head, and they're still cute. If you want a great ANC that doesn't look or feel like you're wearing a headset straight outta Top Gun, these are THEM.

Title: Best noise cancelling headphones that I currently have
Review: I recently got my hands on the Bose QuietComfort Ultra headphones, and here are my thoughts:1. **Sound Quality**: The sound quality is great, with clear and crisp audio. The bass is on the heavier side, which might be a plus for bass enthusiasts but could be a bit overwhelming for others.2. **Comfort**: The headphones are quite comfortable to wear. However, I did experience slight pain after about an hour of use, and they tend to get hot, which can be a bit uncomfortable during extended listening sessions.3. **Noise Cancelling**: For some reason, I feel that the QC Ultra earbuds provide better noise cancellation compared to the Ultra headphones. While the noise cancelling on the headphones is still good, it doesn't seem to match the level of the earbuds IMO.4. **Price**: I was able to get these headphones on sale, which was a better deal than the launch price. This made the purchase feel more worthwhile.5. **Customization**: The Bose app allows for sound adjustment to better fit personal preferences. This customization feature is a great addition, allowing users to tailor the audio experience to their liking.Overall, the Bose QuietComfort Ultra headphones offer great sound quality and customization options. However, the comfort and noise cancelling could be improved. If you can find them on sale, they are a solid choice for those looking for high-quality headphones.

Review: Fone bonito e de bom acabamento. Confortável e leve. Quanto ao som, possui muita qualidade, graves na medida sem ser exagerados,; bom volume. Pode se conectar com até 8 dispositivos o que é bastante útil. Bom isolamento de ruÃdo. Não isola 100% mas diminui bastante o barulho externo. Utilizando o modo "silencioso" + música, não se ouve quase mais nada externamente. Possui , ainda, uma função "transparência" que é interessante quando é preciso se comunicar com outras pessoas. Nunca pude comparar com os top de linhas da senheiser, Apple ou Sony, mas posso afirmar que a qualidade de áudio é excelente.

Review: I waited awhile to review this. I think it's important to be accurate in a review. Fake reviews are evil and go against the spirit of a review, which is to give someone thinking about buying something the correct information. Anyways, the positives of these headphones are the noise cancelling and the sound quality. I have some very good phones to compare these to and the sound quality on these is legit good. The noise cancelling is top notch, at least as far as the tech allows it to go. I work in a loud shop and these do really good on some sounds and not so good on others. But I've tried cheaper noise cancelling phones and these are straight up better. The negatives to these are the price for one. But I guess that's the going rate for good quality phones with among the best if not the best noise cancelling. The other negatives are some quirkiness to the controls. Sometimes they give me trouble turning on. They've always eventually turned on but sometimes I've had to try a few times. That should be fixed in a firmware update, unless it is a problem unique to mine. And the last gripe I have with them is the battery life. I mean, It's stated at around 25 hours. I work 10 hours a day so I have to charge them every couple of days. For the price I would expect maybe a bigger battery. Overall they seem to be high quality and they are comfortable. So in conclusion, if you want to spend the money I don't think you'll be disappointed. The few problems I list are annoying, but not deal breakers, at least not for me.

Review: I was torn apart between Sonos, Xm5 and the Bose QC Ultra. Finally picked the QC Ultra.Among the three I wanted to try out the Sonos headphones but the service centers are close to non existent.The Sony XM5 were great but couldn't fold and the case was just bad.Settled on the Bose and I didn't regret it. It's amazing the comfort and noise cancellation is brilliant and unmatched.I flew wearing the QC Ultra for 3 hrs and my ears didn't heat up and I didn't have any discomfort.I'd strongly recommend the QC Ultra.Sometimes you'll forget that they are on.And it's value for money.2 week later update:These are inseparable from me.I read books with ambient music on or noise csncellation and listen to music and fall asleep without any pain in my ears.The cushions are very comfortable.
