Our take
Shortlist the first-generation QuietComfort Ultra if you specifically want Bose Immersive Audio and CustomTune personalization. Its feature appeal comes with a battery trade-off: Bose lists a lower maximum when immersive audio is enabled.

What the features mean for you
Decide whether immersive audio is a priority
A spatial listening mode is valuable only if you enjoy its presentation with the content you play. Treat it as a feature to try, rather than proof of greater accuracy or universally better sound. Bose’s stated battery difference also makes the choice practical: plan around the immersive-mode figure if you expect to leave that feature enabled.

Confirm the generation, color, condition, seller, and return terms before ordering. If comparing a refurbished listing with a new one, include warranty and condition in the decision instead of looking only at the displayed price.
