I am in love with these headphones! I previously had the Sony XM4 which died after the warranty period by randomly making deafening high pitched squeals.

The noise canceling is scary good. While walking my dog I never heard a peep from cars driving past. I’d say this is the best noise canceling I’ve had. The sound quality is great with the immersive audio set to motion. They feel very high quality. I am very happy with my purchase.

The reason I didn’t go with the xm5 is all the complaints about the auto adjusting anc never allowing anc to be at full power 24/7.

I have been dailying the Bose qc earbuds ii, before them I had the Bose qc earbuds…amazing the different between over ear and earbuds. I’m going to steer away from earbuds since an article talking about ear damage from earbuds being much easier to cause since they are feeding directly into your ear canal.

    I just received these last Saturday in a Black Friday deal on Amazon.de. You are dead right mate! I thought the ANC could not be better than XM4 and 5.

    Boy was I wrong😱😱😱😱😱😱

    I almost skipped these for Sennheiser Momentum Wireless 4 untill I read customer reviews on BT problems and other cons.

    These are 💯🎉👑

    Cons?

    -“Immersive” audio is méh and not my taste.

    -volume could be a little louder

    haven’t listened to bose in a long time but i know sonys are pretty garbage, just over bloated bass (saying as a bass head, like a shake your head type of bass head).

    i’m curious if bose sounds any better. i liked my qc35, i hope the ultras are good?

    I mean I wore the xm5 and they are definitely something else… Don’t like the adjusting it does where it affects my listening… Don’t want to hear anything adjusting every few seconds… either block fan noise or not… nothing beats a in hand experience… love my xm4’s and apm’s :D

    I still have my Bose QC35 II which I still use for travel. Bose really made some magic happen with their comfort, and it’s pre-app so I don’t need to download their garbage on my phone to use it.
