Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great fit, sound and ANC! My son has been trying to get me to try Bose for years, but I love my Sony WF-1000XM5's. I still like my Sony's, but now I'm using both.

The Bose QuietComfort Ultra earbuds have great sound - the bass is great (maybe too much!), the mids aren't super offensive (and can be scooped with in-app EQ), and the highs are clear and crisp. As far as earbuds go, these do offer a superior experience that I think would make most people happy. Active noise cancelling on these rival their headset counterparts and make commuting (I travel via the NYC Subway) a lot less painful. The earbuds fit well into my (smaller) ear canal and the seal is perfect. For all intents and purposes, these would be my ideal earbuds, more so than the Sony WF-1000 series earbuds. So why the 2-star rating? There's an incessant, annoying, and ever present hissing/static noise that comes from the left ear-bud, no matter how hard I try to fix it. I've tried resetting these ear buds, I've tried connecting to a different audio source, everything. I'm not sure if my pair of earbuds are specifically defective, but it I can hear it while listening to music, podcasts, you name it. This doesn't sound like regular "floor noise", but that something is seriously wrong with these earbuds. Doing a quick Google search reveals similar issues with this model specifically. I will be returning these today and going with the inferior Sony earbuds just so that I have something to use.

do not fit tightly keep popping out other than that pretty good sound and lasting battery

Great purchase overall I also have the 700’s and these have equal sound , amazing noise reduction, connect easily with the Bose app only thing that disappoints is the flimsy case definitely not made to last or to used in the real world. Battery in the case and buds has lasted a few weeks with every day usage off of one charge so far

I left airpods to get this and i feel i made the correct desicion. They sound better overall they super comfortable only downpart you cant see the case battery status. Over all great choice.

They sound and fit amazing. The connection is a little weak but overall they are great.

These are the most amazing earbufmds I have ever owned. Noise Cancelling. Spatial sound. Best purchase I have made in a long time. Makes me love music even more. I was worried about them staying in my ears. They do, amazing. They are an investment, but worth every fricken dollar. Wow, thats what I say every time I put them in and listen. Wow.

Best comfortable ear buds found and great noises cancelling.

The case is an odd shape but the buds themselves are comfortable with stellar sound quality

Great sound quality, fits and stays in ear, and battery life is excellent.

I’ve been through more ears buds most. Use them for work and play. Costs not an issue and have had really good ears buds at a lower cost point. Noise cancellation is epic,fit like a dream. The sound is very good and the Spatial Audio is also top rated. You will not be disappointed with these buds….

These truly do have the bass compared to the Beats and iPods Pro. I like the Moonstone Blue color as opposed to the black and off-white. They fit quite well and really are husband-cancelling (oops noise-cancelling). It takes a little getting used to at first. I don't care for using the Bose app to connect via Bluetooth but it does have an equalizer.

First pair of ear buds I’ve owned and they sound great! Fit my ears perfectly out of the box but, using the different ear tips and wings that come with it, should fit just about anyone. The noise cancelling works well but if you need to hear the environment around you, that’s possible too. Very pleased with these!

Hmm. I used to be a faithful Bose customer. Gave these a chance and ugh. Outside of the superior sounds quality for music (when both buds connect, not just one), and the superior call quality (only for me, not the person on other end of the call, no noise cancellation for them, they hear everything around me and can’t hear me if there’s slight noise around me). In other words, if you don’t mind dealing with unexpected connectivity issues at random, and being perfectly still while on calls, when your buds decide to connect, then yeah, great buds. This is truly saddening as I’ve always loved the unmatched sound, and comfortable in ear buds, truly unmatched design. For the price tag, you’re better off dealing Apple AirPods falling out of your ears risking losing them but at least their connectivity is pretty solid and quality for the callers as well. I returned them. But I’m over the Bose thing. I used to buy every pair they came out with. They need to hire the Plantronics engineers for their noise cancellation secrets for the callers.

The sound is amazing, and they are very comfortable

I like the last generation better than this new one, personally. The old case showed you the charge level more clearly and the buds were easier to remove & replace in the case. These new buds also dont stay in ky ears as well. The sound quality and noise cancelation is still great.

These are a great replacement for the older Bose I happen to have been using. The ability to change the ambient sound on and off with a songle touch is nice. Bluetoothing with my laptop and using the feature of this pair of buds, makes playing games into total immersion. Would recommend.

I've always used Bose products and this ones are not different from what I've used before, great sound! Not recommended for running, they fall while running, for me!!

Great sound quality, great distance not to bulky fit perfectly in the ear also charges fast in the case

These earbuds great! There is one problem though. They have an issue with staying connected to devices and they shut off randomly. Outside of that they are great. The sound is amazing and it gives an immersive experience.
