Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds 2nd Gen - Wireless Noise Cancelling Earbuds with Mic Immersive Audio USB-C Charging Up

The only negative things I can say about these earbuds are: The way they plug in to the charging case is kind of weird and doesn't seem very secure, and the battery life is not the greatest, 6-8hrs at most with noise cancellation off. Everything else is pretty much amazing across the board. The Noise Cancellation is VERY solid. The ability to connect to two devices at once & switch between them via the app is pretty great. The tap controls are easier to use compared to the older Bose Earbuds I have, these only require one tap to play/pause, the old ones it was double tap. Switching Noise modes is a simple long press, next track/restart track are also tap functions which you can find in the instructions. Volume control is what you would expect, swipe one way for up, the other way for down. The build quality of the Earbuds themselves is good. They fit pretty snug with the default rubber-pieces that came on them for me, which is good because that aides in the noise cancellation/sound dampening even when you don't have the Active feature turned on. The sound quality on these things is AMAZING. This & the ANC is what you should be buying these for, superior sound & great noise cancelling tech. Are they worth the price? That's really subjective, as to how much of a music/audio snob you are. In my case, I have noticed that there are parts in several songs I've listened to for over a year, that I'm hearing notes or instrumentation clearly that was muddled or almost not even present on other sound devices. It really is that good. Read more

These earbuds are so amazing! I came from Beats Solo 4s (and switched b/c they did not fit around my afro), but the sound quality is much better. The noise cancelling is perfect, and so much so I couldn't hear anything but my music in a loud building. The music is clear and not scratchy- there is a slight fuzz sound, when Immersion mode is on, and no music plays, but that is just the design of the noise cancelling mode. The earbuds fit in my ear perfectly, and they are well worth the money. The have lasted great since I bought then in December, and they connect between my laptop and iphone seamlessly. Get these! They are so amazing! Read more

I went back and forth for about a week when considering these, researching and comparing everything I could think of. I was trying to justify spending three hundred dolars for some earbuds. Well, they offered a tomorrow delivery and I rolled the dice. SO glad I did. They were ordered after midnight on Tues/Wed am, and arrived mid day Thursday. In fact, UPS sent an update that the original by 5:30 delivery would be by 2:30. At 1:30 the package was on the porch. Now let me tell you why I needed these. It wasn't for great sounding music or videos (which they do sound amazing). It was for the ANC technology. And let me tell you IT WORKS (I had the idea for this like 17 years ago but the tech wasn'tavailable). Anyway, I HAD a major issue with noise campaigns at all times. Super loud modified welding trucks idling for up to 2hours at a time every morning from 5 to 7 am. Other loud ram trucks revving starting and stopping at all hours (DEALER) and crappy little cars missing exhaust caps or something, and inconsiderate TPT booming home and car stereos at all hours of the night an day randomly. Not to mention TWEAKERS mething around the yards and repetitively slamming car doors and trunks and yelling at each other in the wee hours. Earplugs didn't work. Sound machines didn't work. Asking didn't work, and the landlord would do very little or nothing about it. Considered professional soundproofing (like a studio room) which would have cost thousands of dollars to be effective, and also considered subject elimination. Not being keen to the idea of a life sentence, I went with $300 earbuds. I am hear to tell you I could not be happier. This technology is not from this world. Have you ever tried to eliminate low frequency noise pollution? It's a near impossible never win battle...UNTIL NOW. I can hear my surroundings like someone talking in the room, or my alarm, but no longer can I hear anything else. No traffic. No music. No banging. No slamming doors. NOTHING. Just peaceful quiet. Silent Lucidity of sorts. Complete rest in less time. Joy. Even the hum of road noise and traffic are oblitterated while driving. It's like I spent $1500 on quet EV tires! Phone calls sound like you're in a recording studio and the other person is talking to you through the soundproof glass on a microphone. Music sounds immersive without ANY ambient noise pollution. No people. No screaming kids. No dogs barking. No office buzz. Just QUIET. The best thing is it's not a complete shut which could be dangerous because I can choose what sounds I want to be aware of! And my cameras send immediatee alerts right to me if anyone gets close to my property or personal space. And if they get past that point, well Texas is a stand your ground and protect your person and property state, so Mr. SIG my personal body guard and security system is always on the ready. I call the system FAFO SECURITY. So, if you desire peace and quiet or need to make noise campaigns obsolete, then do not hesitate to get these earbuds. They are practically weightless, very snug/secure and comfortable. Even while running or working out (and sleeping). And glasses or sunglasses go on and off with ease and no interferance. It's like having a frequency equalizer/canceler right in your ears!!! BOSE nailed the name on these "QUIET COMFORT ULTRA". And don't fall for the 1/2 price trick that they will tempt you with in the algorithm to just get the Gen 1 buds. They're 1/2 price because they can't sell them and they're easily half the product and quality. There were too many bugs, issues, hissing, connectivity problems and inferior ANC technological issues in the first attempt. And I didn't find that information video in the search results until AFTER I received the superior product. GEN2 is the best $300 ever spent (well besides my personal security system). ZERO remorse or buyer's guilt. GET THEM!!! BOSE did not pay me for this review (and neither did the seller who was super fast with shipping...nor UPS, which was lightning speed with delivery), but perhaps they should all seriously consider it HAHAHA!
