    I had 2 pair of the bose ultra within a month. The left earbud kept going out. Would make stuttering noises and you couldnt hear anything. Before it messed up the sound was awsome and they were the best fit of any earbuds I’ve owned. Maybe it was just mine but after the 2nd pair went out i didnt wanna give it another try.

    Before I state my final warning, and review, here's the good: These things are amazing. Sound could be louder, but theyre great! My first pair were duds that i had to return, make sure you uave your reciept! ------- Heres the BIG downside... there are MANY connectivity issues which are WELL known by the bose community, where youll have to repair the earbuds, take them out, place them in the case, "reformat" them, over and over, etc. *** This is NOT an issue with the earbuds, but Bose's lack of desire to fix their FUDGING BUGGY APP!!! *** ITS BEEN AN ISSUE FOR MANY MONTHS AND BOSE REFUSES TO FIX THEIR FUDGING APP!!!!!! FOR A 300 DOLLAR PREMIUM ITEM THIS IS ABSOLUTELY IRRESPONSIBLE AND SHIRTY OF THEM!!!!!!! But aside from that (but lets be real. Its a HUGE issue and entirely something that they can fix, but refuse to because Bose is absolute dogshirt. (Replace "fudging" and "shirt" with exactly what youre thinking) If they fix the app, i wholehartedly recommend the product. Otherwise. Nope. All because Bose is a horrible and scummy company thay refuses to fix their app, which is absolutely assinine for a premium product.

    I thought I did enough research on these but I guess not. I do not like these and I don't recommend people get these unless you're only using them for music but trying to call people with them is a no go, the sound can go in and out of them randomly, they don't connect to your device all of the time and overall these earbuds have just given me a hard time snd there hard to use and the app is very difficult as well no instructions or nothing.

    After only two months, the earbuds keep disconnecting from all my devices all the time. I reached out to Bose's customer service. Guess what, they ask me to pay more for an upgrade. If you have to buy these, don't buy from BestBuy, cause you can return them in 90 days only if you buy from Bose.com. Otherwise good luck. I will never ever buy anything from Bose again. Shame on them.

    Beware these have a constant static noise

    The left earbud exhibits a persistent high-pitched noise, akin to that of a mosquito. Despite returning the initial pair and receiving a replacement, the issue persists. These earbuds are practically brand new, having been in my possession for only a few hours. While the active noise cancellation (ANC) feature is undoubtedly impressive, its effectiveness is rendered moot by the fact that any attempt to listen to podcasts or music at a low volume is marred by the aforementioned static noise. Although the sound quality is generally satisfactory, the aforementioned drawbacks make it untenable for me to retain these earbuds.

      Hi there! I'm happy to hear you liked the noise cancelling and sound quality of your QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds per se. Some customers might hear a faint, mosquito-like digital audio artifact when in quiet environments, not listening to music, and with ANC on high. This sound should be low in volume and is normal; our engineers have determined that it does not indicate a fault with the headphones. We hope this information is useful! Warm regards, Fiona M. - Bose Customer Support bose

    I bought this product because if i lose 1 earbud the other earbud will still work. If the product stops working on one side i at least still have the other side.

    These are NOT an upgrade from Quiet II!. These have no battery life and won't pair with anything. I got it FINALLY to may phone but tried to move to IPad and no luck. Did everyting possible. Reset equipment, unpaired from phone, EVERYTHING suggested from customer service to no avail. I'm sending these crapy earbuds back.

      I'm very sorry to hear of your disappointment with the QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds, Greg! The battery life is 6 hours if Immersive Audio is off, 4 hours if it's on, and a fully-charged charging case will supply 18 further hours of charge. As for the pairing issues, if all troubleshooting hasn't helped, then please contact our support team to have your product exchanged: https://support.bose.com/s/get-help-landing-page?language=en_US.
