If the name 'Bose' doesn't come up when you're researching new wireless noise-cancelling headphones, you need to change your search terms. But with its latest QuietComfort over-ears, the firm has added a new string to its sonic bow.

The QC Ultras have a feature called Immersive Audio, which is Bose's attempt to emulate the spatial audio concept popularised by Dolby Atmos. The idea is to consistently put you in the acoustic sweet spot of a spatial presentation rather than the tedious old left and right of stereo, and there are two distinct executions available: confusingly, the 'Still' option adjusts the sound in response to your head movements, while 'Motion' fixes the effect in position.

You can change this in the Bose Music app, which also lets you customise the ANC, fiddle with the EQ and decide whether you'd like music to pause when you take the 'phones off.
