    The sound quality and noise cancelling abilities on these are excellent. I also like that you can change the amount of ambient noise you hear through the app. I need to be able to listen to the radio at work to go on calls and these headphones allow me to do that while also listening to music. The battery life seems great so far. Plus the colors are gorgeous. Overall very happy with my purchase.

    The absolute best ANC

    Active noise canceling is the absolute best I've tried this generation (vs. Sony WF-1000XM6, Technics EAH-AZ100). Having different sizing for ear stabilizer vs ear tip allows you to find your best fit. Spatial audio is very impressive.

    Good product, bought these because one of my earbuds died, service/repair non existent even though prepared to pay for the repair, good product, after-sales service not good, particularly for a premium product.

    Best I've had so far

    I brought a pair of the Bose earbuds around a month ago, and I've found them really good compared to the others I've had, it took a little to get use to the controls but once worked them out they're great as I can have them that I can hear everything around me, so I know what's going on, or I can reduce how much I can hear around me or completely knock the background sounds completely. So I just hear the crystal clear sounds of my music.

    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?

    The best earbuds ever.

    I've had hearing problems for most of my life, and every pair of headphones I tried would give me headaches after a short time. The Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds completely changed that. I can hear clearly, wear them comfortably all day, and they never cause the discomfort I used to experience. I've also been living with ringing in my ears (tinnitus) for the past four years, and these earbuds have helped mask it, making daily life much more comfortable. I'm so impressed with the quality and comfort that I bought a second pair as a backup. Thank you, Bose, for designing such an excellent product!

    Best earbuds

    Bought a month ago. Greatest investment ever! Noise reduction is one of the best features, immersion mode is particularly incredible! Music follows your movements in immersion while quiet mode can be used while mowing or utilizing loud noises without the bleed through. Just used cinematic mode with my Roku tv, it was awesome! Very comfortable to wear all day. The battery life is decent, but only last 6 to 8 hours worn.

    Pleased with purchase.

    There is a little delay with my Apple phone when taking calls. But overall, the battery life is great. Sound quality is superb. And the comfort, fit and noice cancellation are better than any other ear buds I’ve ever owned.

    Bose QC Ultra 2

    I'm still getting familiar with all the functions on this product. The sound is wonderful. I have heard people describe other products as having "concert sound", but when the immersion is activated, it truly does sound like you're in a concert hall.

    Great sounds, poor function

    This is my first time giving a bose product a mediocre review. If this review was for sound quality, it would be 5 out of 5, as expected. But this review is for functionality, and I'm struggling with it. My left ear has a perfect fit, but my right ear had not found a good combo yet, and I'm pretty sure I've went through every combo possible. The ear bud starts to slide out, then it does, regularly. Trying to snug it back in results in menu options being inadvertently triggered, and the whole process is pretty annoying. I wish there was a way at least to disable touch control temporarily. I dont want to give up and return these, but I will probably have to ultimately. I had the quiet comfort before, and they fit very comfortably. I'm surprised to find these so challenging.
    1 reply from Customer Support team - 26 days ago
    Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear you're having difficulty with the fit and experiencing accidental touch-control activations. Currently, there is no option to temporarily disable touch controls for your QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds 2nd Gen. Interestingly, you can customize available touch-control settings in the Bose app. We also recommend trying different eartip and stability band combinations, as each ear may require a different fit. We appreciate your patience and hope these adjustments help improve your experience. You can also visit this link: https://bose.life/4vjZuib on how to adjust and wear properly the unit. Should you need further help, don't hesitate to contact our support team. We're here on hand, ready to help make sure you're getting the most out of your earbuds.

    Excellent Product

    Great upgrade from original Quiet Comfort earbuds. Old ones were good, but big and bulky. These are great, small, great noise cancelling, great sound quality. One of the greatest things I love about the new ones is the ability to get the perfect fit with different combinations of the ear canal piece and the outer piece. Really allows you to get the perfect fit for your individual ear.
