The Bose QuietComfort Ultra White Smoke is the original 2023 QuietComfort Ultra over-ear headphone in Bose’s soft off-white with silver-toned metal arms. It looks clean and modern next to white or silver laptops and phones, and it is a popular choice for people who spend much of the day on calls and want headphones that look professional on camera. Inside is the full first-generation Ultra: Bose noise cancelling, a microphone system tuned for clear calls, CustomTune calibration, Immersive Audio, Bluetooth 5.3 multipoint and up to 24 hours of battery with Immersive Audio off.

White Smoke: a clean look that needs light care
White Smoke is a muted white with a faint grey tone, paired with silver-coloured metal. It looks fresh and premium, and on video calls it reads as neat and unobtrusive. Like any light finish, the cushions and inner headband show skin oils and denim dye over time. Wipe the Bose QuietComfort Ultra White Smoke with a soft damp cloth regularly and keep it in the carry case when not in use. If you want a pair you never have to think about, Black is the low-maintenance alternative; if you like a bright, minimal look, White Smoke is the one.
Calls and meetings
For calls Bose uses a microphone system that focuses on your voice and rejects sounds from other directions, so colleagues hear you rather than the room. Multipoint keeps a laptop and a phone connected at the same time, which lets you finish a Teams or Zoom meeting and pick up a phone call on the same headset. Aware Mode lets you hear the room and your own voice naturally, while Quiet Mode removes office chatter between calls. With up to 9 metres of range over Bluetooth 5.3, the Bose QuietComfort Ultra White Smoke stays connected when you step away from the desk.
CustomTune and noise cancelling
Each time the Bose QuietComfort Ultra White Smoke powers on, CustomTune plays a short tone, measures how your ear responds and adjusts audio and noise cancelling to match. The result is cancellation that fits your ear shape without any setup. Quiet, Aware and Immersion are the default modes, and the Bose app lets you add custom modes and adjust the equaliser. The Bose QuietComfort Ultra White Smoke earcup controls cycle through modes and manage playback and calls.
Immersive Audio for downtime
After work, Bose Immersive Audio moves music and films out of your head and into a sound stage in front of you, with a Still setting for sitting and a Motion setting for walking. It works with any source and is at its best with films and live recordings. For the Bose QuietComfort Ultra White Smoke, Bose rates the battery at up to 24 hours with Immersive Audio off and up to 18 hours with it on, so heavy users of spatial sound should plan around the lower figure.
The rest, in brief
A full charge takes up to 3 hours according to Bose’s specification table, and a 15-minute charge gives up to 3 hours of playback. The frame uses plastic and aluminium with protein leather cushions, and Bose lists the weight at 0.56 lb, about 254 g. Bose lists Snapdragon Sound support for compatible Android phones. In the box: carry case, 3.5 mm to 2.5 mm audio cable and a 50.8 cm USB-A to USB-C cable, without a wall adapter.
Who This Is Not For
The Bose QuietComfort Ultra White Smoke is not the right pick if you want the newest generation; Bose released QuietComfort Ultra (2nd Gen) in 2025 and this is the original. The off-white finish needs regular cleaning, Bose does not publish a water or sweat rating, Immersive Audio lowers battery life to 18 hours, Snapdragon Sound does not help iPhone users, and no wall charger is included.
