Noise cancelling KINGS! Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds

The Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds are here and I’ve been using them ahead of their launch in October. Can Bose really take everything from their over ear headphones and squeeze them into this tiny package? As it turns out, the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds are incredible. Find out why in this video!

When I first put these on in my vehicle I didn’t know what the Immersive Sound was, and I was freaking out cus the music literally sounded like it was playing out of my car speakers !! This setting is AMAZING !

[charlessinclair]

Thanks! An excellent review Mark. Just bought me a set today. Totally wicked. 😊

I purchased a pair of Bose Quiet Comfort Ultra Earbuds, a month ago, and they are fantastic. The noise cancellation feature is awesome. I had a nosey fan running in the room, as soon as I activated the noise cancellation, instantly the noise disappeared. I thought the fan broken, because it was so quite. The immersion feature is beyond belief. I love the still motion sound, it really takes the listening experience to another level. In the past earbuds would hurt my ears after long periods of wear, not the ultra, very comfortable. These are the best earbuds I have ever purchased.

i was blown away by these -- the sound, the ANC, and the fit, until... i tried to take a call on them. The call quality on both ends of the call is TRAGIC, so much so that I had to send them back. As someone with small ears that don't typically work well with earbuds -- and these fit and felt amazing -- I was so sad that these earbuds couldn't give a remotely decent call experience.

I have just ordered a pair of these from Amazon, based on your review. They sound like they are excellent. Thanks for the detailed review, which helped immensely in making the decision.

[Hey-Googootz]

Nice review. I also own these earbuds and I agree with your assessment 100%. These buds are freaking amazing. I give mine the most use at the gym, and I will add that they are ultra comfortable and ultra secure while moving about and sweating a lot. I have never had one fall out or feel as if it dislodged which would be an annoyance I could not stand for. For me, this was an upgrade from a previous set of bose buds which still had a wire connecting the two buds. $300 US was more than I wanted to spend but, after experiencing these buds, I do not regret a single penny spent for them.

Correction: these don't have multipoint Bluetooth as stated in the video (an oversight on my part - sorry!). Anyway, I know a lot of you have been waiting for this one. So, tell me... are you going to buy the QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds?

[zerocooldeviation]

I was a bit sceptical about these.
Well, i was wrong.
They are amazing.

[whirled_peas]

One thing I like with these is even in the aware/passthrough mode, loud sounds are attenuated like car horns etc. OK car horns are probably not a great example but, still, it takes the sting off loud sounds.

3:19 this part is amazing. Noise cancelling!

I have just bought a set and cant wait for them to arrive Thanks for your time putting the video together 👍🏼

I owned the 1st generation BOSE earbuds and LOVED them. I was skeptical about the BOSE Ultras being better than my 1st gen BOSE but the Ultras are AMAZING!!
IMO these are the best sounding and best noise cancelling earbuds on the market compared to the Apples, Sony's, etc...

You can try others and think others have better call quality, etc... but if you want amazing sound quality and the best cancelling earbuds the BOSE do it IMO!


IMO if you want perfect call quality, then just answer your phone or get something different IMO.

Great audio sound and noise cancellation are BOSE and these Quiet Comfort Ultras are killer!!

[markhughes]

They do support multipoint now. A recent software upgrade provided this capability. I agree with the review. They are absolutely fantastic.I got mine last week for £176 - bargain

[mikivli]

My QC II were really good I’d go from my APP2 back to them every time. Only sold them due to wanting to tries these. only one thing the Bose didn’t do to good was transparency mode but that’s not a problem it was good enough

[willwalshe]

I had the Bose QC1 earbuds originally, and even then their ANC was second to none. I remember comparing them to my partners AirPod Pro's at the time, and couldn't believe the difference in the ANC. It was night and day, the QC1's were in a different league.

The QC2's have only raised the game again, they're incredible. I haven't tried the Ultra's yet, but can only assume they've raised the game even further.

Would I like wireless charging and multipoint connection? Hell yes, but with the superiority of the ANC and sound quality alone, I honestly don't even miss those other features. Bose ANC is THE standard.

[wojciechpatalas]

Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't Bose promised to upgrade QC II earbuds to higher codecs?

[causeydawg]

Wasn’t going to but after this review I am ordering now!

[DRex]

Hey did these ever get a firmware update to improve the call quality. Really that's the main reason i don't want to buy them because i heard the call quality was abysmal noisy areas

[Mr.D.Michael]

These absolutely beat the shit out of the Sony WF1000X4/5 and the Bowers and Wilkins Pi8 and yes, I've had all three. Why?

1) The bass is substantially deeper and smoother and more powerful than even the WF1000XM4!
2) There is absolutely ZERO Distortion
3) The build quality design is far superior than both
4) Sound Cancelling is absolutely superior as well
5) You will forget you even have them in
6) Sound Signature is just beautifully done. Think Bose Soundlink Mini 2.
Get these without Hesitation.

3:32 I lost my Jabra’s today, went to Costco and got these. When I put them in, the world disappeared. These are easily the best noise cancelling earbuds I’ve ever had. It was scary how quiet everything got. I had to get to the app to switch the mode.
