The QuietComfort Ultra Headphones are Bose’s new flagship headphones, replacing the Noise Cancelling Headphones 700. They offer the same excellent active noise cancellation (ANC) as the 700s but with a few new additions.
One of the most notable new features is
Immersive Audio. This feature uses an onboard inertial measurement unit (IMU)
and proprietary Bose digital signal processing software to create a virtual
soundstage that surrounds the listener. Users can choose between two modes:
Still and Motion. Still, mode is designed for when you’re sitting or standing
still, while Motion mode uses head tracking to keep the sound in front of you
as you move around.
Another new feature on the QuietComfort
Ultra Headphones is improved call quality. Bose says its new signal processing,
chipset, and advanced microphone technology can pick up your voice from all
angles, even in noisy environments.
The QuietComfort Ultra Headphones also
have a new design that sets them apart from other Bose headphones. The headband
is now made of metal, and the device has minimal seams and part splits. The
volume control has also been changed to a capacitive touch strip.
The QuietComfort Ultra Headphones will be
available in Black and White Smoke and go on sale in early October for US$ 429,
respectively.
