Customer Ratings & Reviews

TLDR: These are probably the best sounding earbuds on the market, no matter what you’re listening to. The noise cancellation is amazing, but drains the batteries pretty quick. Comfort is good, not great, and I had some issue finding the right fit. I admit it: I’m a big fan of Bose products. Ever since my first GMC SUV came with the upgraded Bose audio system, I’ve had a soft spot for the audio company. I’ve owned two over-the-ear headphones from Bose and loved them both (one was wireless, one not), but these are the first earbuds I’ve tried from the company. I was not disappointed! First, the sound: I was truly impressed with the sound. They really put the “Ultra” in their name. Everything sounds better with these buds. If I had to describe it, I’d say the sound is ‘livelier’, it has more ‘pop’ and ‘umph’. With a high-quality audio track, you can really hear the crispness of the electric guitar strings. Bass was good for earbuds too. Not earth-shattering, but solid, musical style bass. My music of choice tends to rock and more rock-ish country music, with lots of electric guitars and some bass. The earbuds excelled with this. If you’re looking for bass-heavy music, well, you’re probably better off with over-the-ear headphones, but these will make your rap tunes sound good regardless. Podcasts also sounded great. Voices were clear and background noise is nil. I don’t feel like podcasts or audiobooks are really worthy of these earbuds though, since most headphones can handle a podcast aptly. Speaking of noise, how about that well-loved Bose Noise Cancellation! That tech is amazing. I don’t always use it, but it works great. I work next to a downstairs window with lots of grass just outside. When the gardeners are mowing the grass, the earbuds stop the mower noise in its tracks. I feel the mower more than I hear it. It’s crazy. I haven’t taken a flight with these yet, but I’m sure it’ll deaden any airplane noise easily. To be honest, this is why you buy high-end Bose products. Other tech was a mixed bag: I loved having the ability to adjust tracks by touching the sides of the earbuds, but man was that annoying when you didn’t mean to change tracks. This is especially true if you’re adjusting the earbud’s fit or comfort (more on that later). Like most other higher end earbuds, Bose offers an app to tailor the sound via various equalizer settings, as well as lets you change what the outer controls do when you tap the earbuds. This is solid. It even allows you to summon your favorite assistance (I used the standard Google assistant with the Samsung phone). The fit is where I had some issue with the earbuds. But I should preface this by saying that I often have issues with earbud fit: These certainly aren’t the first pair that gave me grief. One set of ear tips is too big to fit inside my ear canal, the next smaller is too small. I guess I’m just that guy. Joy. With my left ear, I had issues with the earbud worming its way out. I could weightlift with the buds but certainly couldn’t jog or do active cardio without that side falling out. Again, this isn’t uncommon for me, so I might not be the best example. My odd ear canal certainly shouldn’t be the reason you don’t purchase these. Overall, I found these QuietComfort Ultra (2nd gen) earbuds to be honestly be the best I’ve ever used. I don’t say that lightly either. The sound and noise cancelling tech place these are a tier that not many can match.

The Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds (2nd Gen) are some pretty great earbuds. I have a lot of different earbuds. Each of them has benefits. I would say the biggest plus of these earbuds would be their superior noise canceling. I have other noise canceling earbuds that I thought were good but they have nothing on these earbuds. To get the best noise canceling and sound, you need to use the largest eartip that will comfortably fit in your ear. These Bose earbuds come with a Bose Fit Kit that includes three pairs of eartips (S, M, L) and three pairs of stability bands (1, 2, 3). I used the small sized. I would usually wear a medium but they were a little too big. There is an app where you can choose a basic style for the sound and then adjust it by raising the treble, bass, vocals. I really like being able to control my sound like this. I can also choose the noise canceling or have awareness to enable a safer situation. I listen to all lot of audiobooks and podcasts while I work. But no matter how I adjusted the sound profile, the sound for the speaking sounded empty. It didn't echo but it sounded like it was in an empty room. When I listened to music, the sound was good but not the best I've heard. But noise canceling is most definitely where these earbuds excel. I could barely hear anything going on around me. And they totally blocked my husband's snoring. That makes them worth their weight in gold. I did get a lot of wind noise from wind blowing across the earbuds on walks. I also had a lot of extremely loud feedback type noise when I used the lawn string trimmer. I had to disconnect the earbuds because it was so painful. The earbuds come with a wireless charging case which I think is great. I can put it on the bottom of my wireless charger, right under my watch and phone. The earbuds go for six hours and charge in two hours. A USB-C cable and instruction pamphlet is included. Each earbud weighs 0.016 lb and the wireless charging case weighs in at 0.132 lbs. They also have IPX4 water resistance. All in all, these are decent earbuds that truly excel at noise canceling.

Great product, i have owned several pair of Bose ear buds over the past several years and they are a quality product with great battery life

The sound that comes out of the headphones is amazing. Use them for taking walks or just around the house. Feel good in the ear as well and don't fall out.

Fit perfectly in my ear. They never fall out. The quality of the sound is on par with Bose quality.

So far they have been good. Noise canceling is top notch. The only downside is the battery doesn't last long enough.

Bose Quietcomfort Earbuds are the best in sound quality. Bestbuy location in Morrow provided exceptional service.

Recently converted to these from UE Fits. I can’t believe what I’ve been missing! Clarity, comfort and a clear microphone for calls on the Bose are second to none!

Great product. Extremely quiet results. Highly recommended

Just bought these and love that I can call my customers and them not here back ground noise. Very stylish

Great item. It has served me well since the purchase. I look forward to future purchases.

Bought one for my Grandaughter she loves them and uses them often
