“The Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones have a cool streetwear look but they deliver a high-end sound experience,” said the appreciative jury. In fact, the design team actually aimed to create a pair of headphones that would make users look good on any occasion, and a lot of care was put into the execution. The use of metal enhances the product’s exclusive look as well as its actual (and perceived) longevity. This material additionally made it possible to design parts that would have been too weak or too large if made from other materials. Although they have flowing and organic lines, the headphones are highly compact in appearance, and everything seems cast from a single mould – from headband to earpads. White and Sandstone offer users two in-vogue colour options alongside timelessly elegant Black. In terms of look, the product adapts effortlessly to different needs, whether the user is travelling, strolling around the city or enjoying music at home. The jury went on to emphasise the product’s technical excellence. The QuietComfort Ultra Headphones redefine the listening experience with immersive audio technology that adapts to individual user preferences. “Motion” is one of the two immersive audio modes that allows the sound to move with the user. The “Still” setting is best for home listening because it fixes the sound in a specific position, like attending a concert. Users can immerse themselves completely in the sound, taking music to new emotional heights. Thanks to excellent noise cancellation, this special listening experience is no less impressive on the move. Ergonomics and low weight also played a key role in the design, making the headphones comfortable to wear over extended periods of time. The QuietComfort Ultra Headphones can be safely stored in the transport case, and defective parts can be replaced, which is not only cheaper than buying new ones but also makes the product more sustainable. These headphones were developed to deliver the longest-possible listening enjoyment to the user.
