    Hey, all! Quick note for something I say at 6:06! The Bose QC Ultra Headphones have a 2.5mm jack on the ear cup, but the product comes with a 2.5mm to 3.5mm cable to use with traditional headphone jacks. Hope that clears things up. Enjoy the rest of the video. Happy listening!

    started with b&o h95 , had for about 6 months sound is good but not that comfy as only use for long periods on the pc and not that loud , so i purchased the sony wh-1000xm5 , and was very pleased more comfy a bit louder and sound great , then i listened to a sound demo on utube between the sony wh-1000xm5 and the sennheiser momentum 4 and there was to me a noticeable sound improvement over the sonys and 60 hours battery so i purchased in the black friday sale and wow they do sound great , very comfy . i purchsed the Sennheiser BTD 600 Bluetooth Dongle as thought there connection may improve over my asus motherboards Bluetooth . i dont use them for critical listening as use focal clears through RME ADI-2 DAC FS dac with the pc ............

    The Sony WH-CH720N works just as well as the Sony WH-1000XMS5 with the exception of noise cancellation but people still think it's good regardless (I can't hear my laptop fans) - Uses the same V1 Chip as the flagship headphones. - TACTILE BUTTONS (I hate touch sensitive) - Similar sound profiles (but less accuracy maybe) - Microphone sounds fine, 38 hour battery life I would say at £80/$100 this is worth going for if you don't want to blow £315/$400. I'm honestly surprised these weren't suggested instead given the price.

    The 720n doesn't have the ldac bluetooth codec which is a bit of a big deal. Also can only pair with one device at a time. Sound wise though your probably right. Price increases on next models up is due to additional tech that is subjective as to whether its needed. If the drivers are the same then the sound quality will always be there about the same,

    Ok first of all these are the best WIRELESS headphones lol $179 for "budget" headphones is craazy for a lot of people. Also i JUST bought the arguably better pair from the same brand-- sennheiser momentum 4--for $118 used. Yes, used headphones exist and are great options for budget+eco friendliness+etc As for the high price headphones, the boses are barely better / very similar to the sony wh1000xm5's, and barely more expensive, so i wouldn't consider them at ALL the best money can buy. That would be the Focal bathys, bowers & wilkins px8, bang & olufsen beoplay h95, mark levinson 5909...the list goes on. Ik i criticized the last video in this series and dont get me wrong i love the passion & testing vigor & cinematography going into these videos but theyre just kinda misleading

    ​@@gabrielferrar6996Been actually thinking of buying Beats Studio Pro. They are on Amazon for $180 (discounted from $350). Have you considered those? No cap the discount is hella tempting, but the thing is it looks like they are only shipped in the US and I would have to have them shipped with some shipping company. So if u live in USA it shouldnt be ur case tho. But the thing I aint sure about is that if it is worth the money, if there arent a similar value headphones for less money that would cover our needs. But on the other hand the discount wont be there forever and we wouldnt lose anything if we decided to sell them whereas the retail price would be lotta higher.

    Hey sounds guys. Just bought the bose qc ultra cuz of you and other reviewers. Gotta say the biggest issue is the android app doesn't work (Edit: seems to work better with newer devices, am going to get a new phone at this point). The app doesn't connect to them (Edit: my galaxy S8) and hasn't been updated since January, even though the headphones came out in October. The app won't connect to them and these headphones aren't even listed as a headphone in the app. Recent reviews for the app all state the same thing. The second issue is they sound pretty bad, much worse than my Audio Technica ATH-M50s. I guess they are wireless so there are limits but to be honest i think even my Logitech g933 sounds better, or at least more balanced. These sound very closed in and base heavy (although you did mention this). The build quality and noise cancellation do seem good so far though. I honestly think if i can't find a way to connect to the app i might return them. This is basically fraud that they are advertising features that we can't even access because they won't update their app. Did you guys try them on Android or only iPhone?

    @@alicenguyen5846 yeah I have an old phone, galaxy S8, i think that's part of the problem, but it's not like theirs a problem with the bluetooth on the phone, works fine with the headphones and everything else, just not the app. App seemed to work okay on my S6 lite tablet. I think it's a software issue, with the S8 not having support anymore. Bose is still equally to blame IMO, should not matter if the phone is old, just poor programming. I'm basically going to just buy a new phone even though my S8 is working fine still. I am warming up to the headphones a bit more, not going to return them, besides I don't think I can anyhow.
