    I had a pair of these that had firmware that was a year old or so, and they worked great. I loved em. But I made the mistake of letting the Bose app update them to 4.0.20 which TOTALLY BLOWS. After that connections were a nightmare. Stuck in loops, playing crackly noises, not being able even manually switch devices. I suspect if you ONLY use these with your phone, and never try to pair them with something else, you might be okay. Apart from that, consider yourself warned.

      Hi Michael,

      It is strange that you've had trouble after the firmware update. I'd recommend making sure that you resync the connection of the earbuds together by placing them in the case and ensure they making a good connection with the charging pins. Then keep the case closed until the case lights stop flashing, and only remove one earbud from the case and it in your ear before removing the other earbud. I'd also try the other steps available here: https://support.bose.com/s/display-articles?productId=01t8c00000QEpawAAD&articleId=ka0Pb0000005158IAA&language=en_US

      Or reach out to us, as we'd love to help you with the earbuds: https://bose.life/contact

    For any streaming video/audio they are wonderful and the noise cancellation is above and beyond but when it comes to audio on a phone call its just so bad, i checked all my settings, updates, and compared to my old jabra elite active 75t or bose soundsport free using the same volume settings just not worth it, so I returned them.

    We both run distance on both road and trail. Love the noise cancellation / "Loud" sound blocking feature these have. We were surprised that we had found something we liked more than the Airpod Pros.

    The sound from the earbuds are great is a quite area. If you have any background noise its hard to hear even at 100%. The phone calls even worse. The person on the other end had a hard time hearing me due to the background noise. due to my job i need to hear and be herd when on the phone so i had to return them.

    Literally not even connected more than 5 times. After the 6th time and every time after, the right earbuds internal microphones used for noise cancelling failed. It sounded like someone was "blowing" into the microphone and I could not fix it through any of Bose's troubleshooting recommendations. Horrible QC for headphones that are this expensive and "high end". I upgraded my 1st gen Airpods Pro to the 2nd generation and that was a better investment than these "Ultra" earbuds. Great noise cancelling though. I'm just glad they broke after 1 day so I could still return them.

      Hello Marc,

      It is great you enjoyed the noise-cancelling highly unexpected that it would stop working, and I understand you returned them because of this. Should you decide to try the earbuds again. I'd suggest making sure that you're not in in aware mode by following our guide here https://bose.life/3N0Sbsh and check that the shortcut https://bose.life/49SWXSp is not being pressed. Please also contact us https://bose.life/contact, as we'd love to help.

    This worked fantastic for the first few weeks. Days after the return/exchange cut off, one of them died. Contacted Bose and have gotten the runaround on getting a replacement. Won’t buy Bose again.

      Hello Rebeca,

      Thanks for leaving your thoughts on the QC Ultra earbuds. Music volume and call volume can sometimes be separate on your paired device, so you want to make sure the volume is turned up on the device for the calls as this could be why you're experiencing low volume. Please refer to your phone's user guide for instructions on how to adjust this.
