Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds 2nd Gen Overview

From Manufacturer

Make every song count with the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Gen 2, true wireless earbuds with ActiveSense adaptive noise canceling and CustomTune tech for a personalized sound profile. With multiple selectable modes, including transparent Aware mode and Immersion mode that blends noise canceling with Bose spatial audio, these earbuds deliver the audio experience you want, anywhere.

Further improving upon the previous generation, Gen 2 earbuds provide improved call quality with addition of AI-based noise suppression technology, allowing for crystal-clear calls in any environment. Furthermore, the earbuds and charging case still provide up to 24 hours of playback, but now with the convenience of Qi wireless charging support on the case. Bluetooth 5.3 support and the Bose app allow you to customize or deactivate touch controls, adjust EQ, select modes, monitor battery levels, create SimpleSync connections with Bose products, and much more. With an IPX4 rating, these earbuds are resistant against water and sweat, making them a perfect choice for use in inclement weather or during exercise. The stability band design further supports use during rigorous activities. The QuietComfort Ultra Gen 2 earbuds include the wireless charging case, three pairs of eartips, three pairs of stability bands, and a USB-C to USB-A charging cable.

Make Every Song Count
CustomTune technology analyzes your ears and adapts the sound and noise cancelling to their unique shape. The result? Premium noise cancellation and sound tailored to you, for more goosebumps and bigger chills every time you press play.
Advanced Noise Canceling
When all you want is music, there's the best noise canceling of any Bose earbud. And now it's even better than before. ActiveSense technology automatically smooths spikes in surrounding sound, so even in Aware Mode, distractions won't get in the way.
Modes Put You in the Moment
Tune all the way in to totally jam out with the full noise cancellation of Quiet mode. Or keep on top of your surroundings in Aware mode for full transparency. There's also Immersion mode that blends noise canceling with Bose Immersive Audio for the realest listening experience.
Feel the Real with Immersive Audio
A must-have for anyone serious about sound, Bose Immersive Audio spatializes what you're hearing by taking it out of your head and placing beyond your earbuds. It's like listening from the acoustic sweet spot, where songs sound like the artist intended and movies have theater-like levels of depth and realism.
Fit Check
Focus on the beat, not your buds. Choose from nine combinations of eartips and stability bands to find the most secure, snug fit. The soft, umbrella-shaped tips seal off the opening of your ear to reduce outside noises. And stability bands hug the contours of your ears for a fit that won't quit.
Crystal-Clear Calls
Stay in touch while you're out with the clearest phone calls. Noise-rejecting mics focus on your voice and new AI-based background noise suppression filters out your surroundings and wind, so you can be heard and hear it all. Take calls with both or a single earbud, whatever works for you.
Keep the Music Playing
Play for up to 6 hours in Quiet or Aware mode (up to 4 hours with Immersive Audio). Running short on power? The case itself holds up to three additional full charges, and recharging it is now easier than ever with new wireless charging capabilities.
Stay Connected
Bluetooth multipoint offers seamless, uninterrupted listening. Switch between your phone, your laptop, and other devices with ease, all without missing a moment. Advanced Bluetooth connectivity offers a strong, continuous connection within 30' of your device.
Swipe, Tap, and Touch
Play or pause music, change the volume, and switch tracks with simple touch controls right on the earbuds themselves. You can even answer calls and cycle through modes, all without ever taking out your phone.¿¿¿¿¿¿
Control Everything from the App
Take personalization to another level in the Bose app. Create a Custom mode (such as combining Aware mode and Immersive Audio) or use adjustable EQ settings to dial in the sound. Control bass, midrange, and treble levels as you go. The app also lets you check the battery life of your earbuds and case, customize a shortcut, and manage connected devices.

Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds 2nd Gen Reviews

Great Product

Excellent fit, stylish color and great sound. I had to replace my 10 year old in ear Bose ear buds which I loved everything about except the fit. I was afraid the quality would not be the same but I am pleased with my purchase and they fit like a glove.

No better than my 1st Gen earbuds - disappointing

I bought these 2nd Gen earbuds to replace my 1st Gen earbuds because I had heard that the newer model had MUCH better noise cancellation. This might be true, however, Bose has, across the board, made ALL the ear tips for the new models much smaller. My 1st Gen earbuds came with the middle ear tips attached and they sealed great against my ears. I couldn't get a good seal against one of my ears with the new earbuds and noticed that the ear tips seemed smaller. So I put on the largest of the three ear tips and compared it to my 1st Gen pair and even the large size ear tips on these new earbuds are smaller than the middle tips of the 1st Gen earbuds. Anybody trying to seal larger ears is going to struggle and will probably have to push these slightly down into your ear canal. Maybe that's what Bose intended, I'm not sure, but I know that I cannot wear them for long if I have to insert something into my ear canal. I MUCH prefer the 1st Gen design that seals tight against my outer ear. Personally, I think they need to go back to that size ear tip and increase the size of the little hook at the top. That's the part that really stabilizes things and smaller ones just don't put enough pressure on to keep them stable. As far as sound goes, I DO think these 2nd Gen earbuds sound better than my 1st Gen earbuds. I think the treble is more clear and less tinny and the bass is big without taking over the music. I do wish that Bose would build a more comprehensive EQ into their software or at least give us the option to use it. The overly simplistic EQ in the software isn't granular enough to really get these tuned in to my ears. I have to rely on a third party software if I really want to adjust these correctly. Honestly, I'm not sure if these are truly an improvement over my 1st Gen earbuds and I'm disappointed that I bought them since my 1st Gen earbuds are still working fine. Sound-wise the new earbuds are probably better but I'm not so sure about noise cancellation. Without a good seal against my ear I'm not really sure these are better. I'd say it's a draw and I think Bose took a step BACK on the ear tip design. Less material in the ear tips and smaller hooks doesn't make them seal better. How would it?
