      Hello John,

      Thank you for sharing your feedback about our product. We appreciate your input.

      Regarding your concern about using a single earbud, we understand the importance of flexibility. This is why the earbuds Ultra can be used independently for both listening to music and Phone Calls. For optimal Noise Cancellation, we do however recommend using both buds.

      Kind Regards,

    While running, the headphones change setting from quiet, to allaire etc just randomly. I'm not even touching my headphones/ears and its changing. I'm not sure why it does this. Also, there is a cracking noise in one earbud that makes it seem defective. This started within the 1st month of using them and It comes and goes during my workouts. I'm really disappointed.

    Very disappointed. I was promised a 2 day delivery and it took 2 weeks. When they did arrive the did not work. They had a lot of static on both ears. I reached out to Best Buy for replacements. I was told I would have them in 1 day. I returned the bad ones and it’s been well over a week and still no replacements. Best Buy has been extremely challenging at best to deal.

      Hi Ricardo,

      It's great to hear you've been a keen Bose owner since 2011 and how you've followed our journey going from wired to truly wireless buds!

      While the Stay Hear tips are no more, we have built on their success with the advent of the new earbuds and stability bands which offer more options for securing a perfect fit! The Bose Music app also guides you through making sure they fit well.

      If you're having any problems using the QC Ultra Earbuds, please do not hesitate to get in touch with our team. We'll be more than happy to help! https://bose.life/3ET4mCs.

    Too finnicky, the headphones are bulky and not ergonomic with the ear canal. Dont wear a hat with them or your music will constantly shut off or switch. Dont touch them or your music will shut off, and you better put them in right because they cant sense properly when theyre in youe ear, overall a big mess..

      Hi.
      Thank you for posting. If you do not want to accidentally stop your music, you can disable the shortcuts on the earbuds. Please refer to this page. https://bose.life/473AIqs. Also, there is an In-ear detection feature that uses sensors to identify when you’re wearing the earbuds. You can automatically play/pause audio, answer phone calls (if enabled), and adjust noise cancellation (QC Earbuds only) by inserting or removing an earbud. If you require further assistance, please reach out to us here. https://bose.life/3BgUIIU. We would love to help.

    Bose hit the ball out of the park this time with their new Ultra Earbuds! I have a thing for higher-end earbuds and have amassed quite the collection of brands. In the past, I found Bose to be be too bass heavy with their earbuds and headphones, while their noise isolation has always been at the very top. I have enjoyed my existing Bose products but resorted to another brand for my everyday go-to pair. Well I think that has now changed with the introduction of these new Ultra earbuds. They come packaged with several sizes of oval silicone ear tips and stability bands so you can fine tune your fit. I found the large size fits best with my ears. I doubled checked their fit using the Earbud Seal Test in the connected Bose Music App. They fit neatly in their black charging case and there is also a USB A to USB C charge cable included that you'll need. The case does NOT offer cordless charging, which I thought was a bit odd for such premium of a product. The earbuds are a black gloss with a brushed metal touch panel that juts out a bit more than most compact earbuds out there, but that really isn't an issue. It gives me more touch surface where I can play, pause, fast forward, rewind and change the volume. If you long press the touch panel, you can switch the noise cancelling modes and The Bose Music app allows you the opportunity to customize those modes. What sets the Ultra apart from its predecessor is that Bose has introduced their version of spatial audio. It's called Immersion mode and it makes all your music have much more depth. It's quite impressive and my music sounds fantastic with this activated. In the app, you can select to have the sounds play from a fixed point or from a moving point, depending on where your head is turned. These earbuds also offer world-class noise cancellation. I couldn't believe how powerful the NC is in such a small earbud. In Quiet mode, music plays in typical stereo, and then there's Immersion mode that I just mentioned. It also allows sound pass through in Aware mode. There is a custom equalizer in the app that allows you to fine tune the earbuds to your specific taste. I was able to cut down the typically overly strong Bose bass and now they sound just right. I've yet to test them with wind noise and plan on taking them on a bike ride shortly. I hope their incredible NC also helps in this department. They are IPX4 water resistant so I should be fine using them for biking or other sporting activities. I believe the battery life is stated to be around 6 hours in regular mode, or 4 hours in Immersion mode. The case also stores enough to allows 3 additional full charges and theres a quick charge that gives 2 hours of play time with just a 20 minute charge. These earbuds are built with Bluetooth 5.3, giving you about 30 feet of wireless range. These new Ultra buds are also Google Fast Pair capable in case you use that. So far, Im very impressed with these Ultra earbuds and I am really enjoying how the Immersion mode expands the depth of my songs. They're comfortable, fit well and I'm looking forward to putting them through their paces with my morning walks and weekend biking trips. I can honestly say they have now replaced my go-to favorite earbuds. Well done, Bose!

    Unfortunately the left earbud stopped working properly. So I took the earbuds into a Best Buy store where I was told I could not return in store because my purchase was online. I am still awaiting a replacement. The return practice should not be so difficult.
