Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Bose QCU 2nd gen are an awesome pair of bluetooth buds. I've had so many different brands of wireless buds and have liked most of them, but I've only loved a few, and these are in that few group. The Bose QCU is their premium buds set for a reason and when you hear your favorite music or videos through them you'll fall in love with them too. Off the bat its Bose so you're getting their premium sound quality and drivers. This is amplified with customized audio tuning to your hearing specifications and spatial immersive audio for a 360° surround sound experience. The sound quality is just so good and only comparable to another set I loved, the Sony XM5. The strongest feature is the noise canceling, its the best I've experienced so far, I mean I've tried Samsung, Sennheiser, Beats, Jabra, Sony, and the Bose QCU 2nd generation are the absolute best when it comes to noise canceling. Once activated I couldn't hear anything, which was excellent for when I wanted to lock in and focus while listening to my music. Connecting is easy and all your customization settings are handled through the new Bose app. In box is a USB-c charge cable and different size fitment buds. The set is rated IPX4 so its good for light rain sweat protection. I never had the 1st generation of the QCU so I can't say how much they've improved over a gen but I can say they are the same dimensions and Bose offers a silicon protection case, but you can also use 1st gen cases as well. Overall, I absolutely love the Bose QCU 2nd gen wireless set and I absolutely recommend them if you want the best music listening experience.

Excellent sound quality and great intuitive controls. I've never heard music in this way before, and I couldn't recommend these earbuds any more highly. The battery life on these earbuds is fantastic too. I can go days without recharging thanks to the power bank of the case they come in. My ears aren't in pain when I have them in for a few hours, unlike a few competitors. Overall, the best earbuds I've ever owned.

I have both the previous headphones and earbuds but the 2nd generation series earbuds are the best ever. They are the quietest of the quiet, comfortable at its' best, superb fit and excellent sound in all modes. I'm still in awe of the sound!

Love the ear buds very comfortable and the sound is great. Battery life seems to be very good so far. The noise canceling feature is also very neat not sure how it works but I like it

Purple color is fun. Sound quality too notch. Great comfortable fit and long battery life. Love love them. I use them everyday so it validates the cost of them. Definitely worth it.

These Earbuds are the best I've had the pleasure of owning. They have many options to choose from for the fit of the earbuds and are very comfortable. Bose QuietComfort Ultra (2nd Gen) come with 3 listening modes pre-mapped into the earbuds (Quiet, Aware & Immersion), with the option to create your own and the ability to finetune your settings. The sound is well balanced and very rich. You have 3 channels to adjust on the EQ (Bass, Mid & Trebble). I would like more but 3 is fine. There's nothing negative to say about these in my experience so far.

As a former Apple AirPod user, the sound quality from these earbuds is significantly better (no surprise, right?) Set-up was easy to sync with my phone. Design style is clearly a bit different from AirPods, which you navigate forward, back and pause/play by clicking the stem. These are touch sensitive on the outside, which is helpful but i have found that if i reach up to readjust the fit i can accidentally pause what i'm listening to. Not a big deal and i'm sure this will not be an issue when i adjust to the new style. Overall i'm very happy with the purcahse and product.

The Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds are definitely the most advanced pair of earbuds I’ve ever owned. I was skeptical when I first read some of the features, but the second I tried putting one in my ear canal, I was blown away by the experience. Somehow, they could literally sense where and how the earbuds were positioned, how cool is that? Although I really dislike having to download apps for things that could run without apps, I made an exception for the QC Ultra. Having the earbuds without the app is to me like owning a Lamborghini in New York City. Yes, you can drive it, but you don’t get to fully experience what makes it an exceptional car. You can customize your audio preference in greater detail through the app. The noise-cancellation feature of the earbuds is truly outstanding which is why the premium price warrants it. Once you put these on, it’s like you’re in your own world. I don’t fly as much anymore, but these earbuds had me itching to book a flight just for the sheer satisfaction of silencing the sound of a crying baby.

The fit is perfect, sound was amazing and the noise cancellation is top notch. Definitely happy I went to these after using AirPod pros for years. These headphones are really nice. The sound quality is unreal. Sounds like you have full over ear headphones but in a bite sized package

Best earbuds I’ve ever used. I live in New York City, so noise-cancellation is a main concern. These do better than any other earbuds I’ve ever tried, and better than most over-the-ear headphones to block out noises of loud music in the gym, airplane and traffic noises. The Bluetooth connectivity is great. My iPhone connects to these right away, and never drops the connection until I purposefully disconnect. I dinged this product two stars under “connectivity” because of flaws in the charging case (see below). The charging case is not as good as the earbuds themselves, and as far as I know, as of this writing, there are no Second-Gen cases available separately yet. Two things have happened with the cases for me on this and the First-Gen versions. (1) they stop charging one of the earbuds, or (2) charge them unevenly, so that one reaches 100% while the other reaches only 80%. I’ve tested this with the same buds in other charging cases, and concluded the problem lies with the charging cases. With the First-Gen version, one of my buds developed a kind of short or internal electrical issue that produced a constant static clacky sound. I hope this Second Gen pair does better!

Great sound from these comfortable and well sized in-ear earbud style headphones. The modes of Awarel, Quiet and Immersion provides a good combination of options from outdoor walking to serious listing.

Really great earbuds, especially the noise-cancelling features. I was really impressed with the sound quality. They are lighter than the previous versions and more comfortable to wear for long periods.

Awesome sound, rumbling bass, mids and highs are very crisp and clear. NC is the best, period!!! Blocks almost everything without feeling the "cabin pressure" sensation. Awareness mode is good. Love the Immersion mode for movies although it drains the battery much faster. Extremely comfortable for long periods. Battery could be better, doesn't last a day in the office if you wear them all day. Continuous use lasts between 5 and 6 hours tops!

The sound is awesome and the Noise Cancelling is superb. Because of the noise canceling it takes a little adjustment to recognize sounds of approaching vehicles when walking. Once you've heard a few then it becomes no issue. Once you find the right size fit they are very comfortable and secure in the ear.

I have had every version of the bose quite comfert head phones and theas are better then the last. I work in construction were i wear these for 10+ hrs a day there comfortable and the nose canceling cant be beat. And there sound quality is top notch and not just all base. My only complaint is they have gone up in price. I would buy them again if i had to i would juts wait until they were on sale

Bose is hands down the best I used the choices of immersive or not are great I use mine when I mow the grass no more loud lawnmower sounds they also hold a charge well

I really like these headphones as they saty in place and are comfortable. I use them for lostening to my audio books and music. My husband uses his during his workouts and no complaints of them falling out.

Great fit and customization with tips/wings where anyone should be able to make these comfortable. Audio quality is fantastic. Noise cancellation is class leading and honestly insane for a pair of earbuds. Transparency is good but not amazing. Few other products I’ve used are better there. Biggest issue I have is that when the right earbud is touched while in my ear it creates this weird reverb noise. Tried multiple different tips and adjusted how the buds sat in my ears, couldn’t fix this issue.

I liked the fit and design of this gen2 earbuds, sound quality is decent.

I got back into in-ear earbuds recently after having a terrible experience, and I'm so glad I landed on these! The sound is just phenomenal and the app is super easy to use to change the noise-canceling levels, the equalizer, and the immersive sound options. The fit is nice, and I'm glad it came with different sizes so I can find the best long-term fit size for me. Great product
