When music means everything, there’s QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds (2nd Gen). Because every listen deserves premium, personalized audio, the best Bose in-ear noise cancellation, and an entirely seamless earbud experience — so you can feel all the feels with each song you play.
- Heart-stopping sound with each play.: CustomTune technology analyzes your ears and adapts the sound and noise cancelling to their unique shape. The result? World-class noise cancellation and sound tailored to you for more goosebumps and bigger chills every time you press play.
- World-class noise cancellation.: When all you want is music, there’s the best noise cancelling of any Bose earbud. And now it’s even better than before. ActiveSense technology automatically smooths spikes in surrounding sound, so even in Aware Mode distractions won’t get in the way.
- Modes put you in the moment.: Tune all the way in to totally jam out with the full noise cancellation of Quiet Mode. Or keep on top of your surroundings in Aware Mode for full transparency. There’s also Immersion Mode that blends noise cancelling with Bose Immersive Audio for the realest listening experience.
- Immersive Audio. Feel the real.: A must-have for anyone serious about sound, Bose Immersive Audio spatializes what you’re hearing by taking it out of your head and placing beyond your earbuds. It’s like listening from the acoustic sweet spot, where songs sound like the artist intended and movies have theater-like levels of depth and realism.
- Fit? Check.: Focus on the beat — not your buds. Choose from nine combinations of eartips and stability bands to find the most secure, snug fit. The soft, umbrella-shaped tips seal off the opening of your ear to reduce outside noises. And stability bands hug the contours of your ears for a fit that won’t quit.
- Calls count, too.: Stay in touch while you’re out with the clearest phone calls. Noise-rejecting mics focus on your voice and AI-based background noise suppression filters out your surroundings and wind so you can be heard and hear it all. Take calls with both or a single earbud, whatever works for you.
- Keep the music playing.: Play for up to 6 hours in Quiet or Aware Mode (up to 4 hours with Immersive Audio).* Running short on power? The case itself holds up to three additional full charges,** and recharging it is now easier than ever with new wireless capabilities.
- Hands-free, hassle-free switching.: Bluetooth multipoint offers seamless, uninterrupted listening. Switch between your phone, your laptop, and other devices with ease — all without missing a moment.
- Stay connected.: Advanced Bluetooth connectivity offers a strong, continuous connection within 30 feet of your device.
- Swipe, tap, touch to get into the music.: Play or pause music, change the volume, and switch tracks with simple touch controls right on the earbuds themselves. You can even answer calls and cycle through modes, all without ever taking out your phone.
- Control everything in the Bose app.: Take personalization to another level in the Bose app. Create a Custom Mode (such as combining Aware Mode and Immersive Audio) or use Adjustable EQ settings to dial in the sound. Control bass, mid-range, and treble levels as you go. The app also lets you check the battery life of your earbuds and case, customize a shortcut, and manage connected devices.

Big upgrade over the Gen 1’s
Highly enjoy these earbuds. I did recently purchase the AirPods Pro 3’s mainly for gym workouts and the talk to transparency mode. I love the Ultra Quiet comfort Gen 2’s for home use (even though they would be great for the gym too). They lay flat in the ear so if you fall asleep on your pillow it won’t bother your ear at all. The sound quality edges out the airpod pro 3’s with better bass and more natural sounds. They are super comfortable in the ears, more than the air pod pro 3’s! They hold into your ear during intense workouts better too. They look great too. I have the desert gold and they look dope. Not too blingy at all. More of a subtle dark gold color with matte black background. The case has gold specks in it which I thought was a nice touch. The immersion mode is just like apples. The ANC is great and hard to say it’s better or worse than the Air Pod Pro 3’s too. If Bose has an update for the ultra quiet gen 2’s that give it talk to transparency mode, then I’ll say the Bose will edge out the air pod pro 3’s marginally in all categories.

Excellent noise canceling
These earbuds are really good, the noise canceling and sound levels are far better than what I had initially expected. They are also a comfortable fit.
