Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Bose QC Ultra Earbuds are fantastic. Bose noise cancelling is second to none, and these buds rival some of the better over the ear nc cans in that respect. Sound quality is very good, though there are superior sounding earbuds in in this price range. And battery life is ok. However, the app (at least the current version with the current firmware) is TERRIBLE. The earbuds cannot be used for more than a few minutes without cutting completely out. The app has some nice features, when it is working, but....The only solutions are to either remove the app, or to unpair the earbuds from the app. If Bose ever deigns to fix the app (highly unlikely in my experience) these buds easily earn four stars.

Noise cancelling is the only great thing about these. Connectivity is terrible and they are not built to last. Bought these 4.17.24. After a couple months of having them I was having issues with keeping them connected to my laptop, which was one of the primary things I needed headphones for. Now they no longer connect to my laptop so I only use them with my phone. I still have issues with them disconnecting from my phone so I just deal with it. However, this last week my right ear bud has started making loud noises no matter what environment I'm in. Of course I went to Bose customer service and my warranty has expired. Best they can do is have me send in my current headphones and try and fix them but I have to buy a new pair in order to do so. Seeing as a new pair is $200 and I just bought these for $325 I will not be sending my headphones in. I am gladly switching back to Beats.

These earbuds are the single greatest purchase I have made. They are super simple to use when swapping between quiet mode (i use this when my neighbors are blasting music) or aware mode (I use at work so I can have music in my ears but still be able to hear customers). The battery life is great and the case itself acts like a portable charger that you don’t have to plug in depending on if you’ve charged it recently. The sounds quality is up to par with anything you might expect from Bose audio products. Buy this and you will not regret!

Excellent sound quality and comfort. Power lasts throughout the day

I use these at work. I am able to switch L and R to extend the battery life. Good sound. Not the loudest

The sound is incredible, and noise canceling blocks out all sound, at least in normal non-vehicle environments that I have used in so far. Fits great.

I love these buds more than any other. I have had them all. Yes all. These fit the best, sound the best, and the battery is finally to the ok mark

I have used these for around two months now and am very pleased with their performance. First the test in the app to determine if you have the right sized insert for your ears is great. Second I use these while cutting grass on a large and loud mower, my expectation was low for noise cancelling here, I figured only a true over the ear headphone would really work. I was please that it knocked down the sound of the mower by 90% at least, makes listening to music or a book easy and comfortable.

I purchased for my girlfriend because the Samsung earbuds hurt her ears. Tried different fittings also. She wears the bose all day at work comfortably. Also when i talk on the phone with her its clear as a bell. Bose has the sound market cornered as far as im concerned.

So far very good! Stay in the ear even when eating where the Apple product would fall out. Comfortable and great sound!

Good noise cancellation and battery life. Has some connectivity issues with iPhone that happens out of nowhere sometimes and could be annoying to deal with. Overall good but too expensive for what it delivers as a product

I love these Bose headphones. I initially tried the Sony WF-1000XM5 but did not like them. The bass is much better with Bose. They sit comfortably in my ears with great quality music and have varying degrees of noise cancellation. Multiple added control features makes it convenient to pause or switch between songs with gentle taps. Plus the interface to change settings is stellar. Top quality

The sound quality is good, and the noise canceling is better than the previous one. The default base is rich, but it isn't so loud that it drowns out the other sounds so you can listen to the music as it was intended. It still lacks the feature to turn off touch. It will pause every time I try to adjust the headphones, and that gets annoying quickly when I'm working out. One thing I would like to see implement for this earbud is the ability to make them beep so you know where they are. I fell asleep with them on, and it was near impossible to find it even though i know it's somewhere near me. It doesn't help that this headphone mutes the audio when you take it off, so you can't even turn the volume up to see where the sound is coming from.

Bose is like no other earbud out there. Comfort and quality is just the start of this light weight marvel, i forget i am wearing them they are so light. The stero sound is unmatched. Bose is always a step ahead, if your not wearing Bose your not listening!

Looking for the best sound and noise cancelling earbuds? Look no further, these earbuds simply put perform all the beats studio and Sony headsets I've ever used or tested. Be careful with the noise cancelling though, I had it enabled while walking my dog in my subdivision and almost got hit by car because I couldn't hear the car even though it was honking it's horn at me. You honestly will not hear any outside noise with these. Also the battery life on these earbuds is insane, you can go weeks without the need to recharge them.

I was looking to upgrade my first generation Airpods Pro. I compared these Bose buds with the AirPods Pro 2nd gen. My main objectives were improved ANC, good sound quality, and ease of use. The Bose are excellent on the first two. ANC is outstanding, far better than the older Airpods. Sound quality was very good as well. However, there were some minor glitches. The connection to the iPhone dropped sometimes and there was an occasional lack of sync between the L and R buds that would create a brief echo effect for a second or two. Also, the integration with Siri is not as seamless as with the Airpods. So I bought a pair of 2nd Gen Airpods, and found that the ANC and sound quality was on par with the Bose buds (though I did not do a deeper dive by comparing musical tracks; at first blush they were both good enough for me), but the Airpods function more smoothly in the Apple ecosystem, with fewer dropped connections, ease of use of Siri, etc. So, I returned the Bose buds. Bottom line: they are very high quality buds with comparable performance to the Airpods, but, as many online reviews say, the nod goes to the Airpods if you're swimming in the Apple waters.

Amazing sound! The Bose QC II had great sound. But these have a few more features. The sound settings are automatic. There are several to choose from that weren't on the QC II. They are very comfortable to use. Being Bluetooth, you can use them during a phone call. You can add or remove a sound setting. I highly recommend getting these if you enjoy excellent audio and noise canceling technology.

Great earpiece. Big fan of Bose. Price can be more reasonable or product can ad features like wireless charging perhaps to compensate for price ad a strong loop on case to prevent dropping or losing of device at minimum. Sound quality is superb, comfortable in ear, easy connectivity and sound deafening absolutely impressive.

The sound quality and noise cancelling is really good. The touch controls leave a lot to be desired. I would often pause to change music / shows just by reaching up to re-position the pods in my ear. They aren't the most comfortable fit in the world, either. I consistently run into connection issues. Sometimes I have to place and re-place the buds multiple times before both connect to my phone. Is it worth the money? Debatable. I feel like the Galaxy Buds Pro 3, despite mimicking the airpod design, works better in most ways.

Simply stellar! Extremely comfortable. All three modes are versatile and productive. I am a sound brand snob and this Bose product holds up to their name! Highly recommend.
