    Sorry to say, but it's a joke for 300$. Sound quality is really good, but you can hear every single noise in the back when you're on the phone.

      I'm glad you like the sound quality of your QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds, Helga! As for background noise, are you referring to the noise around you, or noise on the other end of the call? So we can find out, please get in touch with us here: https://support.bose.com/s/get-help-landing-page?language=en_US. Warm regards, Fiona M. - Bose Customer Support bose

    I bought headphones, used them for a while and decided to return them, I was late for 1 day and they didn't accept the goods back, and the Best Bay employees were just awful to talk to, they were rude and categorically didn't want to accept the goods back, like you were late. I explained to these employees that you can't hear anything in these headphones when talking. The result is the same, the goods are not worth the money, the quality leaves much to be desired.

    Best sound, fit, battery, & noise canellation!

    These are some of the most complete earbuds that Ive found. Air Pods Pro 2 fell out of my ears too but sounded great. Sony’s XM5’s battery life was too short and were way to bulky in my ears but also sounded great. Quiet Comfort Ultra fits and sits comfortable in my ears. Battery life is unmatched. I dint have to chatge them every night and i wear them all night as i work overnights in a loud warehouse. The noise canceling is top tier, best that I’ve tried and you see the forementioned earbuds that also have noise cancellation. Even better thabvthe Bose Quiet Comfort 2. If you already have the BQC2 theres no need to upgrade though. Theres not much of a difference in sound quality. Now the fit is what i love. The wing tips hold these earbuds in place. You can run, work out, treadmill or what have yoh without fear of them falling out. Mine fit perfectly right out of the box but you have many ear cushion sizes and also wing sizes so a great fig is almost guaranteed! Not bulky at all, set your Bose signature sound and grove on with any genre. The EQ lets you put your own twist to their already premium sound. If anyone complains about bass or volume needs a new phone bc it’s definitely your phone and not the buds atp! Hands doen these are THE BEST EARBUDS ON THE CURRENT MARKET as of February 2024!

    Great Earbuds missing key Features

    The Bose QC Ultra earbuds are overall, a solid pair of earbuds with superb sound quality, incredible noise cancelation, and long term comfort while in ear. However, there are a few quirks that knock off a star on these earbuds which I will get into later. Let's start off with the positives of these earbuds. PROS: The sound quality is quite impressive on these earbuds. They deliver a large soundscape that would be similar to an over the head pair of headphones with exceptional clarity in the mids and highs and a surprisingly deep and boomy bass. Compared to my Airpods Pro 2, the sound quality is definitely better. The app allows you to customize the EQ to your liking, although it does not allow you to control more than three "Frequency" (ranges). Low, mid, and high are your only options, which is fine, but for audophiles, they might want to control more specific frequencies. The earbuds are actually pretty comfortable. I do have an issue with the right ear not sealing as well, but after adjusting some of the extra rubber pieces, I was able to fix this issue. I wore them on a flight for 7 hours without issue. My ear was slightly sore, but not too bad. The noise cancellation on them during the flight was superb, I made a custom mode to set the noise cancellation to max, and I could not hear anything, way better ANC than any earbuds I have ever used. CONS - As many others have mentioned, no multipoint connections. What this means, is you can only connect to one device at a time and cannot seamlessly switch between say your phone and your laptop, which is insane to think this is not a feature for such a premium product with a premium price point. - No wireless charging!? This was a devastating thing to learn, it is 2023, the tech exists in so many products, why was this not included? Yeah yeah you can buy a case SEPARATE but that is just not a good business model that will make customers happy. - These can be a little buggy at times when you first put the buds in. Many times I have had to take the buds out of my ear, back in the case, and then back out to get them to properly sync together. Sometimes only 1 pod connects, or the other pod will take a minute to sync. Pretty annoying, but I am confident that a future firmware update will fix this. - Spatial sound... I just do not like how it was implemented. The "fixed" mode is anything but. When you say "fixed" one would assume that head movement would not impact the spatial stereo effect, but nope, you move your head 1cm, the sound shifts. I expect this on movement mode, but NOT fixed. Take note from Apple Bose... Apple perfected the spatial sound technology, I much prefer that to Bose's take, it has some work that needs to be done on it to make it comparable. Sound quality changes dramatically, and for the worse. Overall, these are a great pair of earbuds. If you already have some high end earpods like airpod pro 2, honestly, stick with them unless you are an extreme audophile.

    I'm not sure what's happened to Bose but these were very very disappointing. Sound quality was extremely thin... Absolutely no richness at all. And, yes, I used the rather minimal EQ options to try to resolve this but no luck. Call quality. Ugh. I have a pair of QC35 headphones that are truly terrible to use during a call. Apparently, they used the same microphone in these buds. The person on the other end of the call couldn't understand me and plenty of skipped words. I returned these and went with the Sony XM5's and couldn't be happier.

      Hi Frederick,

      Your feedback is incredible important to us, and we appreciate you taking the time to write about your experience.

      I'm sorry to hear you found the sound quality to be thin and lacking richness. This isn't what we would expect from the product and after using them myself, I'd certainly not describe them in this manner. Using the correct eartips and stability bands is incredibly important not only for fit and comfort, but also to ensure you're getting the best sound quality. Having the wrong size tips attached can be massively attributed to the earbud's tone.

      I appreciate you've returned the buds and gone for another product, but if you ever purchase a Bose product and experience unexpected behavior or performance, please get in touch with our support team via https://bose.life/3ET4mCs. It may be something that can be resolved with basic troubleshooting.

      Hi Bella,

      We appreciate you taking the time to leave your feedback! Not being able to hear the other person during a call can be incredibly annoying and I'm sorry to hear you've experienced that with our QC Ultra Earbuds! That shouldn't be happening and we'd love to investigate why that could be happening.

      You mentioned the volume was all the way up; some smartphones have variable volumes so on-earbud controls can work independently of the smartphone's volume. The next time you use the buds, can you check the volume is up on both the phone and the buds? If you're using an Android phone, there may be multiple volume sliders with one called "Call Volume" that may need to be increased.

      If you're still having problems, we're here and happy to help! Head to https://bose.life/3ET4mCs for contact details.

    These will not charge. Period. Right earbud is always at zero percent and left never makes it above 60 percent. Bose recommends ensuring the ear fins are lined up exactly (they are), but if the onus is on the consumer to make micro-adjustments to the product every time they are used, it’s just poor engineering. Product support is a joke.

      I'm so sorry to hear of your disappointment with your QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds! While the battery performance is 6 hours with Immersive Audio off, and 4 hours with Immersive Audio on, don't forget that the charging case will supply up to a further 18 hours of charge, keeping your earbuds nicely topped up. As for the "static noise" you mentioned, in some quiet environments you may be able to hear a faint digital audio artifact. This happens when noise cancelling is on high and you're not listening to music. This sound should be faint in volume, and it is normal. I hope this information helps!
