and while it provides very good overall sound quality with a bias toward music listening, its lack of wireless functionality and noise cancellation makes it less versatile than the Bose. The Bose headphones are pricier but offer excellent active noise cancelling, wireless and wired options, and a suite of modern features like an app equalizer, ear detection, and virtual surround sound, which may be better suited for a variety of uses including travel, TV, and gaming despite the higher cost; their comfort is also considered best in class, making them suitable for extended wear.

"The Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones are a credible step up from previous Bose ANC headphones, and they're built to hang tough with the competition for years into the future. No waterproofing is a bit of a letdown, but these headphones have the technical chops to make most quite happy."
