Review Summary

Rated 4 out of 5

No further complaints. Still a great product.

This is my second set of BQC Ultra Earbuds. The first set I had for at least 9 years. Still works, but the rubber piece that attaches to (surrounds) the device body was lost. (Not the rubber in-earpiece) I did not know they could be replaced. However, the best noise canceling in existence for earbuds. FANTASTIC!! Your apps could be more user friendly though. It is sometimes difficult to program and adjust. Also, it would be nice to design and include XL earbud nipples though. Or at least have them available as an accessory.

I like them but the battery sucks, seems like a problem these expensive Ear buds shouldn't have

Completely Satisfied

Loves these ear buds. They are so comfortable and the sound from them is out of this world. I gave away my Skull candy ones I had as they didn't come close to this quality. I also have bose surround sound for our entertainment room. They are fantastic as well

10/10 headphones

I bought these to replace my QC buds 2020 and they are stellar. Excellent sound quality and ANC is fantastic. They were very plug and play, with all of the usual controls pretty much the same as the last set I had so I didn't have to do much learning.

Unexpectedly Sad

If I could give zero stars I would, they are on their way back to Bose's. The right ear bud stopped charging shortly after I started using it. Went back to using old Bose ear buds, questioning why I spent the money to upgrade a product that I used every day for a few years with no issues.

Great improvement.

I bought them a week or so ago to replace my older Bose earbuds - Gen 1. Great sound improvement. They seem to be more secure in the ear too. This is my 3rd set of Bose earbuds buds and definitely the best sound.

I'm not sold yet. The 2nd Gens don't seem to hold a charge and I may have to return. Bose products not what they used to be and I own a lot of them.

RUN

Worst mistake of my life purchasing these earbuds, they worked perfectly until I did a software update. Then, the charging case became very hot. Melting, one of the earbuds inside of the case. I immediately called customer support. Informing them of the situation. They process the return and I drop them off with U. P. S. UPS then lost the package In transit. And now Bose is refusing to refund my money Or replace the headphones because they claim they did not get the product back.Even though u p s lost the package during transit back to them. Product sucks, customer service sucks.

Well worth it!

These are great! Got them for work to drown out the rest of the office and it worked like a charm. Best noise cancelling ear buds I've owned hands down.

Top quality as always

The quality is as high level as always and the sound quality is in my opinion can't be beaten. The immersive sound elevates this to another level and can't believe how well the noise cancelling works. So highly recommended

For $250 I expect more.

I have not yet decided whether to return the Bose QC Ultra Earbuds or not. First they don't stay in my ear, while I have tried every combination of Eartips and Ear restraints provided. Also, they do not isolate surrounding sounds from the area. If you touch them they will fall out, and trying to find them is problematic, so adjusting them while working out is impossible. Twice while wearing them while at the gym they began to cycle through the three mode options of Aware, Quite and Immersion and the sound was not able to play except for the notification of the mode. My previous pair of Bose Earbuds lasted about 7 years but they don't make replacements, like many other Bose products so they are a throw away too! I will give them until the end of this week but will probably send them back.

not for sleeping but amazing product

i dont regret buying these ANC earbuds at all-they work great. Some things to be aware of: I bought them thinking they'd be more comfortable than my ANC earphones for sleeping, however they fall out of my ears constantly even with the smallest size and they are not that comfortable bc they stretch my ears out . But if you keep your head upright and still, they work great. Just don't plan on moving from lying on your back to lying on your side. They might work best for those with larger ears. But true to the BOSE name, the sound and ANC is amazing. My personal preference remains the Bose over the ear ANC earphones which I have had for years and still use every day.

Brilliant Earbuds

Excellent quality in terms of noise reproduction, equally good on phone calls. I mostly use ear buds for listening to audio books in bed and the quality of the noise reproduction is better than any other earbuds that I've used before. The only problem I've found is if I fall asleep the earbuds tend to become a bit uncomfortable and I get audible warning messages which is not necessarily a bad thing just a bit disconcerting at first.

Will they stand up?

Sound quality very good. Instructions amazingly inadequate, all a multi (many) page booklet had was: be careful! My phone was not able to download the instructions on line. I was packing the earphones to return when I discovered the bose app for my speakers works to connect the earphone too. Have not yet figured out how to use them to make phone calls. While, as I said, the sound quality appears to be very good, I hope they last better than some of my other bose products (got no support when i called to complain)

Research before you buy

So you're asking me to do a review on your product here's my overall outcome. I've spent several thousands of dollars on earbuds you name them I've bought them. The problem I have is here you go out and you purchase a product from a company that is well-known and you pay for blown price and then when you're done with your purchase, they say oh by the way you can buy refurbished ones at half the price that have the same warranty or you can buy one pair and we'll give you the other half off or something like that now if you want to attract buyers, why wouldn't you throw that out in the first place I'm on my second pair of the first pair went back after a week I mean so I lost one of the earbuds just quit working altogether. I don't know what was the reason. I only had maybe 20 minutes on them. I use them for five minute intervals here and there. I probably hadn't even still had to figure out how they worked so I sent them back and I bought another pair I do like the sound of them, but this is disappointing on what you people do so you sell surprise you for a price and I think that I did get a little bit of a discount. I can't remember and then all of a sudden after you have purchased something like this, they throw this at you. Oh, we have refurbished ones. There's as good as new. There's half the price is the ones that you paid for so none of this makes any sense to me. The first thing you should probably do is buy the refurbished ones to see if you're going to enjoy them not buy brand new ones, but nobody tells you this so now that I've bought them brand new. I'm getting all these emails on discounts and this and that it's discouraging a Bose product is state of the art. They have been around for a long time and I don't know how many hundreds of millions of dollars the corporation is worth but this is the problem I have now I'm getting all these emails on discounts on refurbished items that are guaranteed no different than the brand new ones but this is how they suck you in any normal person would've bought the refurbished ones to try them out. I didn't even know they were available. I just went online. I knew what I wanted. I knew the namebrand so I think I spent like 279 because there was some kind of special event happening but now I find out I can get the same thing for 159 so I'm not real pleased with the whole situation. We'll see how long these ones last that people if you read my review before you start purchasing something for $300 be well aware that after you purchase them, they're gonna send you an email that you could buy refurbished ones for half the price that are guaranteed so be smart about it unfortunately I didn't catch onto it until it was too late

App awful. Ruins experience of the product.

Headphones are great. Sound good and noise cancelling upto bose standards. Shame the phone app isn't up to some standards. Drops connection and crashes if weak Internet connection. Why on earth would you design the app to need connectivity to work??? The produce owner is either incompetent or incentivesed by data mining rather than real world customer experience.

Best ever!

Having mislaid my previous ear buds, I purchased The Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds (2nd Generation) in recent weeks. I tend to use ear buds/headphones primarily in the gym, on journeys via the train or plane and on holiday, whilst relaxing by the pool. I have to say my recent Bose purchase is faultless. I love the sound, the technical aspects and must say they produce my music to the next level. I am very happy, thank you!

Great, but needs larger silicone wings to hold in

Whilst the sound is fantastic as always, I really wish there were bigger silicone wings as in my 1st gen Bose QC EarPods that have sadly died after 5 years of use. Those were very difficult to fall out of my ears, but these newest ones are not as solid. It's a shame as I'd like extra large wings for these which should help.
