    Volume is low, connection issues, earbuds are sensitive to touch as well. My hair would barely touch the earbud and it would pause/skip to next song. Battery life is good though.

    These earbuds are amazing from sound quality to noise counseling it took me a while to chose which brand but bose have always been my #1 choice. I found out if you download the app and follow instruction do the seal test they work fine. Not cheap but worth the price. I did wait for them to go on sale

    Fantastic earbuds...for about 18 months

    I've had two pair of the QC Ultra earbuds. They sound fantastic and the noise cancellation is amazing. However, both sets lasted me about 18 months each before the adhesive that holds the body of the buds together failed. Both times this happened the speaker failed, likely due to a broken connection. I love these buds when they work, and have been a big fan of Bose for a long time, but I'm going to have to explore other options that are more durable.

    These headphones deliver excellent sound quality for music, but their connectivity with Apple iPhones leaves something to be desired. If your main focus is listening to music, they’re a solid choice. However, as an everyday option for phone calls, they fall short of expectations.

    These earbuds are the real thing. I tried the Sony WF-1000XMS and the Jabra 10 before I settled for these Bose. They are phenomenal, excellent sound and unmatched noise cancellation. I would say to anybody thinking about buying these, they are worth every penny.

    Music quality is top-notch. That I won't' dispute for sure. The problems, however, are pretty concerning. 1. In some very noisy environments, like subway, the noise cancellation sometimes stopped working, especially if the noise is high pitch. 2. Connectivity issue. Sometimes the music sounds fuzzy for no reasons, which looks like a connection issue. 3. Latency is pretty annoying. There's a slight delay when you play music on your phone.

    The headset functional just fine. The SoundCloud is amazing. I find it hard to switch between songs. Not as user-friendly as the AirPods, the touch function to increase volume or to skip songs can be challenging while jogging after purchasing the headset. The price dropped a week after which was very Disappointment. I would have kept the box would have returned it and got it at the new door price, but unfortunately, I did not

    Highly recommend for travel. The noise cancelling drowned out most of the airplane noise. And the switch on the fly modes helps because i cant hear when someone is calling me. Although it has excellent noise cancelling, be sure to be aware of your surroundings.

    When working. Sounded great. But I'm on my 2nd warranty replacement. Took a month to receive both times. Left ear stopped working completely both times. Loses connection regularly. You will have to deal with BOSE replacement/refund department. Best Buy will not do anything if it's outside their return dates. BOSE will not refund your money because it was purchased through Best Buy. So, replacement after replacement will be what you have to deal with. Also, you have to send in the broke ones, then they receive, before they will mail the new ones. Biggest earbuds hassle I've ever dealt with.

      We understand how frustrating this experience has been for you. While it's great that the sound quality was impressive, it’s concerning that the left earbud has failed twice. The back-and-forth with warranty claims and retailer policies can definitely be exhausting. We hope Bose can improve their service process to make things smoother for customers in situations like yours. Let us know if there’s anything we can do to help!
