This is the best summary I could come up with:
On the Noise Canceling Headphones 700, you had to swipe your finger up or down the right ear cup for volume, but now there’s a dedicated spot for it that users should be able to more easily memorize — with less risk of accidental presses or mistaken gestures.
Like other recent Bose headphones, the QC Ultras’ transparency mode will include an “ActiveSense” feature that automatically strengthens or reduces the active noise cancellation based on your current environment.
Our source confirms the headphones will automatically pause when removed from your ears and resume playback once you put them back on.
The QuietComfort Ultras are also said to be Snapdragon Sound certified, potentially opening the door to higher-quality Bluetooth codecs (when used with Android phones) and lower-latency performance while gaming.
Other specifics about the QuietComfort Ultra headphones, such as battery life or upgrades to sound quality and noise cancellation, will need to wait for Bose’s full announcement.
Surely there’s more to this story for these new cans to earn the “Ultra” moniker — and likely a very high price tag to match that branding.
I'm a bot and I'm open source!
What is it with the swiping thing? It's not intuitive or useful or anything. I have that shit on my Sonys and swiping the cup is really cumbersome. I say give me buttons or give me death.
