Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones

Engineered for music lovers – and noise haters

In the not-too-distant past, people wore headphones solely for entertainment. Not any more. Today headphones have become an all-day, everyday companion. People use noise cancelling headphones, in particular, for work as much as for play. We currently offer several styles of noise cancelling headphones, all of them featuring proprietary Bose noise cancelling technology that makes quiet sound quieter and music sound better.

What is the difference between active and passive noise cancelling headphones?

Active noise cancelling (ANC) headphones use sophisticated algorithms to analyse surrounding noise and create an opposite sound wave to cancel out unwanted noise, while passive noise cancelling headphones use physical barriers like padded ear cups to block out external noise.

Are noise cancelling headphones good for travelling?

Yes. Our noise cancelling headphones are ideal for travelling as they can block out unwanted sounds like aeroplane engine noise and allow you to enjoy music or films in peace.

Can noise cancelling headphones be used for phone calls?

Yes. Our noise cancelling headphones are ideal for phone calls. With a combination of unwanted background noise reduction and built-in microphones, noise reducing headphones can be used for phone calls with clear audio quality.

What are noise cancelling headphones, and how do they work?

Noise cancelling headphones use advanced technology to reduce ambient noise and provide a more immersive listening experience. The headphones work by analysing surrounding sound waves and then producing opposite sound waves that cancel out the noise.

The technology behind noise cancelling headphones

Ever wondered how Bose wireless noise cancelling headphones create your own personal oasis of quiet? It’s all thanks to some seriously smart tech. Active noise cancellation (ANC) is the secret behind this noise cancelling magic. Tiny microphones within the headphones listen to the noise around you, then generate an opposing sound wave that effectively cancels it out. The result? A haven of peace and quiet, even in the most chaotic environments. Bose has been at the forefront of this quiet revolution, pioneering ANC technology and setting the industry standard for performance and innovation for decades. With Bose noise cancelling earbuds and headphones, you can tune out distractions and focus on what matters most, which makes them great for work over traditional headsets. Experience enhanced audio where every detail of your music, podcasts, or movies comes through crystal clear, without the interference of background noise. Reduce stress and fatigue on long flights or noisy commutes by creating a calmer, quieter environment. With Bose active noise cancelling headphones and earbuds, the world fades away leaving you with pure, uninterrupted sound.

Types of noise cancelling technology

Bose noise cancelling headphones aren’t just about silencing the world, they’re about giving you the power to choose what you want to hear and when you want to hear it. When you need to focus, escape, or simply enjoy your music, full noise cancellation technology creates a tranquil cocoon of sound, blocking out distractions and immersing you completely in your audio. But sometimes, staying connected to your surroundings is just as important. That’s where Aware Mode comes in. Whether you’re crossing a busy street, chatting with a friend, or just want to stay aware of what’s happening around you, Aware Mode lets the outside world in while still allowing you to enjoy your music. And when you want full awareness of your surroundings, try open ear headphones.
