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.
Q: Can these be used as hearing aids?
A: While I don’t need hearing aids yet my hearing is going to the point I have to be tested yearly. I have been using the quiet comfort ultra 1st gen and now the 2nd gen to help hear better in noisy situation in Aware Mode while at work and in noisy situations. They help me a lot hear every word around me and block out other noises at the same time. I know they are not hearing aids but they help greatly for those going deaf without having hearing aids and greatly cheaper.
A: Hello! Absolutely! Each earbud has four built-in microphones, so you’re free to use either one on its own for calls. The mics are designed to pick up your voice clearly while reducing background noise, giving you flexibility and great call quality even when using just one earbud. We’re glad you’re exploring all the great features of your QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds (2nd Gen) if you need help with setup or tips for clearer calls, we’re always here to support you, here's the link to contact our customer support team: https://bose.life/contactus Thank you for considering Bose!
A: Volume cannot be adjusted however you can select between quiet mode or wear mode Etc with a tap on the earbud. You can also select to stop and start music or answer the phone by tapping. There are other customizable features to the headsets
Q: Are these compatible with the Samsung 25 ultra?
A: Yes, the Bose QuietComfort Ultra (2nd Gen) Earbuds are fully compatible with the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra. As long as your device supports Bluetooth, which the Galaxy S25 Ultra does, you’ll be able to pair and use the earbuds without any issues. You can enjoy all the features such as noise cancellation, transparency mode, and high‑quality audio.
Q: Can these earbuds help better hear conversations in a group or restaurants
A: The Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds (2nd Gen) are mainly made for great sound and strong noise cancellation, not for boosting voices in places like restaurants. They can block background noise and make phone calls clearer, and you can use transparency mode to hear people around you without taking them off. But they don’t amplify conversations or work like hearing aids. In short, they’re excellent for listening to music and calls in noisy areas, but not designed to make group conversations easier.
Q: Can these be used on airplane to watch movies provided by the airline ?
A: No, these are not the type of ear buds that will connect to the unit on the airplane to watch movies.
Q: can I use them to take a phone call?
A: Yes these earbuds are fantastic. Even if you're listening to music, once a call comes in, the music will stop playing and you can tap once gently on one earbud to answer the call. The sound is crystal clear and the noise reduction feature is outstanding!
Q: Is this compatible with Samsung 24
A: These ear buds have two different models. Look on the box and it will tell you if that particular model is compatible with an IPhone or an Android.

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.

Very nice earbuds with great sound quality and noice cancellation . Fits very well in ears and doesnt fall off easily . Battery charge is also very good . I dont use heavily but still only charged once till date when got it new which is impressive . Tad heavier than Airpods pro but thats a happy tradeoff for the quality of sound . Also easily connects to my Iphone.

Bose is killing it with these new gen 2 products! I love loud music and these are the best ones I’ve tried. They may not look comfortable but surprisingly they feel super great! The battery life is insane too! I can listen to music for hours on end. I’ve had them for about a week and have yet to charge the case
