Frequently Asked Questions

Is Immersive Audio worth it?
If you listen to spatial audio content on Apple Music or Tidal, absolutely. It creates a convincing 3D soundstage that's unlike anything else in headphones.
Why is the battery only 24 hours?
The spatial audio processing draws more power. With Immersive Audio off, battery life improves. It's the main trade-off vs Sony's 30 hours.
Are they comfortable for long sessions?
Very. Bose is known for comfort, and the QC Ultra continues that tradition with plush ear cushions and light clamping force.
