Hey @aaronloudnwireless I tested these ultra headphones vs the Bose QC earbuds 2 The earbuds had noticeably stronger noise cancelling: Could you do a redo of this?
The problem with the QC earbuds ultra is the horrible connectivity issues, which have not changed since the II. I own many sets of earbuds from various vendors and the QC earbuds II are the only ones ever to crap out on a flight and leave me with nothing. They abruptly disconnected and refused to reconnect. Browsing Reddit and forums you can see this is a common problem. Consequently I now stay far away from Bose. Still, thank you for your consistently great content.
That's a lie I don't have any connection issues, even after connecting to other devices, your products your trying to connect to must be bad, not the bose
Great review Aaron. 💯 If possible, could you make a comparison between AirPods Max and QC Ultra? I am interested in the QC Ultras for the Spatial Audio such as I have with the AirPods Max and the ANC that they both have to see which is better for most high and low frequencies noises.
@@peterli9340 With regular glasses and thin stems, I have no problems with the QC Ultra (wearing them basically the whole day), only with my sunglasses that have bigger stems (Oakley Straight Jacket).
Based on the test in vid. It seems like the headphones do a noticeable amount better (to my ears anyway), the background noise is quieter and more muffled and deeper.
@@adrianmanuntag1764 They sound remarkably similar but I prefer the headphones to the earbuds as they completely cover your ears so block out outside noise better. I prefer the ANC without the immersion mode on, it is more effective on some music than others. The ANC is exceptional on both.
Thanks for this 😊. Love your reviews! Technical question, if I may... I am just about to get the Bose QC Ultra headphones and have a Samsung S23 Ultra... Will the Samsungs lack of decent codecs deduct from the listening experience do you think? Nobody seems to discuss that in reviews, so I'm hoping not.
Great review, Aaron! I really appreciate you comparing the Bose Quietcomfort Ultra Earbuds to the Headphones. I have the earbuds and am considering getting the headphones. How does the spacial audio compare between the two while watching a movie? Which one works better for the surround sound during movies.
Recently purchased the Bose Ultra Earbuds and am highly impressed. I wear them for working out and phone calls, but after using them I will use them for my next plane trip and utilize the extra carry-on space in my bag. 2 dislike I have is no Find My feature or wireless charging. I purchased the Wireless Charging case and attached an AirTag to resolve.
By getting the headphones, you don't have to worry about uneven battery percentages, a very common issue with earbuds (e.g., the earbud batteries being at 80% and 30%), not to mention uneven battery wear.
Could you compare the Bose Ultra headphones to the Bose 700s? I swear the 700 sound better than the 45s but no one seems to be testing the 700s since the 45s came out after them.
Hi, I’m having an issue with my QuietComfort Ultra headphones. When I walk or run, I hear a ‘pop’ sound in both ear cups, even with ANC on or off. I’ve seen several threads on forums where people mention the same problem. Could it be that my headphones are defective, or is this a common issue with this model?
Over-ear headphones simply destroy In-ears low diff for comparison Sony wh-1000xm4 absolutely shit on Sony wf-1000xm4 I am pretty sure the same thing is with the Bose.
I had a different experience. I tested both with low to mid frequency bus noises… And cafe noise for mid to high frequencies However, I tested the Bose QC earbuds 2 vs the Bose QC ultra headphones The earbuds are noticeably stronger in noise cancelling.
0:10 Really needed this comparison, I can afforad both but I need to know what of a difference there is in between them, specially cuz Ill use them for the gym, thx dude. Awezome vídeos.
Overall earbuds migth be better for working out, but I really feel guilty for the sound quality, Id like to train while hearing amazing music definition and not an outside sound on my ear, can someone who has already tried both tell me what suits me best?
Nice video Aaron. BOSE. Is overrated and over priced. Just tell their management that work in your mic quality, take the price down, and work on some latest features
I’ve to add - Bose QC Ultra Earbuds’ ANC is somewhat of a letdown than QC II Earbuds. Aaron, ANC blocks out midrange and even low rumbling much better on QC II Earbuds than Ultra. I’ve a feeling that ANC’s Freq Response on QC Ultra Earbuds is more “flat” so as to accommodate more codecs, especially aptx. It’s such a coincidence that the best ANC performing earbuds often have fewer codecs supported (maybe after the audio is recreated using DAC on these earbuds using other codecs have too much of a information for QC II’s ANC Freq Response to track and block out surrounding noise via active cancellation) Don’t get it why ANC on Ultras were a step down. Crying babies snd even fan’s whirring noise is worse on Ultras than QC IIs
Noooo. I’m watching these using the earbuds. I’m an audio engineer The earbuds sound amazing in person. The demo they used sounds NOTHING like the real thing.

Hey @aaronloudnwireless
I tested these ultra headphones vs the Bose QC earbuds 2
The earbuds had noticeably stronger noise cancelling:
Could you do a redo of this?
FINALLY SOMEONE COMPARING HEADPHONES AND EARBUDS, THANK YOU!!! +1 SUB
Haha no problem :)
There is no comparing. Those Bose earbuds are nowhere near to the level of quality as those Bose headphones.
The problem with the QC earbuds ultra is the horrible connectivity issues, which have not changed since the II. I own many sets of earbuds from various vendors and the QC earbuds II are the only ones ever to crap out on a flight and leave me with nothing. They abruptly disconnected and refused to reconnect.

That's a lie I don't have any connection issues, even after connecting to other devices, your products your trying to connect to must be bad, not the bose
Damn, really?
They will have connectivity issue if you keep dropping them or sleeping with them one downside is that the mic is kinda weak compared to APP2
Nah bro my disconnects to. I’ll be in the gym and 1 ear bud disconnects or both don’t work and then I’m left with nothing.
3 yrs and never had that issue.
Great review Aaron. 💯 If possible, could you make a comparison between AirPods Max and QC Ultra? I am interested in the QC Ultras for the Spatial Audio such as I have with the AirPods Max and the ANC that they both have to see which is better for most high and low frequencies noises.
Great video. Been wondering about this for a long time.
Btw, nice on the ninja-to on the shelf in the background.
Earbuds for me, hate it when the cushions press down on the stems of my glasses.
Hi, I was just wondering which headphone is the most comfortable one to use if you wear glasses? Anyone have suggestions?
Same and having medium length hair I don't want that indent from the band on headphones lolz
@@peterli9340 With regular glasses and thin stems, I have no problems with the QC Ultra (wearing them basically the whole day), only with my sunglasses that have bigger stems (Oakley Straight Jacket).
You are always the best. I was looking for this comparison
You painted a very clear image of which is the better choice for me! Thanks!
No problem!
I have the Bose NC 700, and they work good. I like being able to know how many hours I have left instead of percentage.
Unique comparison. No one made . Go on bro
Great review as always...you are the best
this is what i wanted to know thanks
What do you think do Bose ultra headphones sound better than for example Denon Perl Pro earbuds? I am thinking to buy one of these. Thanks!
In terms of ANC, can you tell me which one clearly wins when one uses it?
Based on the test in vid. It seems like the headphones do a noticeable amount better (to my ears anyway), the background noise is quieter and more muffled and deeper.
I bought the earbuds, the ANC is amazing, I have the headphones on order now. Your reviews are the best, thanks.
You're most welcome!
In your opinion…
Do the headphones or earbuds sound better if you factor in immersion mode on?
@@adrianmanuntag1764 They sound remarkably similar but I prefer the headphones to the earbuds as they completely cover your ears so block out outside noise better. I prefer the ANC without the immersion mode on, it is more effective on some music than others. The ANC is exceptional on both.
You can buy a Bluetooth adapter to connect any earbuds via Bluetooth to the plane's IFE
Great analysis Aaron!
Thank you!
Which ones can play louder volume?
Thanks for this 😊. Love your reviews! Technical question, if I may... I am just about to get the Bose QC Ultra headphones and have a Samsung S23 Ultra... Will the Samsungs lack of decent codecs deduct from the listening experience do you think? Nobody seems to discuss that in reviews, so I'm hoping not.
No impact at all. You’re going to get the experience that most people are getting with the regular codecs.
@@aaronloudnwireless Thank you 😊
@@clintalexander3184 no problem

headphones are superior and earbuds are handy and compact
Recently purchased the Bose Ultra Earbuds and am highly impressed. I wear them for working out and phone calls, but after using them I will use them for my next plane trip and utilize the extra carry-on space in my bag.
2 dislike I have is no Find My feature or wireless charging. I purchased the Wireless Charging case and attached an AirTag to resolve.
Wise and don't forget Humble!
For sure! 😁
Such an important quality, and rare these days!
1:48 great noise cancellation could hear everything in the surrounding wind and sound🎉
What’s the difference between the mosquito/humming sound?
The buds it’s a very common issue and Bose won’t fix it
Gave up headphones for the heat build up in our hot and humid climate in SG
Pls do video on dongles and earbuds that come with them ,how to use and what to expect ps 4 and 5 so confused!!
What is in your opinion the best earbuds and best over the ear headphones currently in the market as of 9/18/24? Cheers love the channel!!!
Please review the Creative Aurvana Ace 2 for their sound quality. Would be interesting to see how xMems drivers stack against the traditional ones.
i am your fan. I am looking forward about review of Audeze Maxwell.
Hi sir Can you recommend me headphones with noise canceling and good music quality under $100?
By getting the headphones, you don't have to worry about uneven battery percentages, a very common issue with earbuds (e.g., the earbud batteries being at 80% and 30%), not to mention uneven battery wear.
yeah im gonna wear headphones to gym and bed like a gentile
Could you compare the Bose Ultra headphones to the Bose 700s? I swear the 700 sound better than the 45s but no one seems to be testing the 700s since the 45s came out after them.
True. It's a pretty old product, but wll be an interesting comparison.
Hi can you compare the QC Ultra over-the-ear with the original gen 1 QC earbuds?
Hi Aaron, are you going to review the Huawei FreeBuds Pro 3?
Interesting to do the same between APP2 and Max :)
Do video how u do tests
Hi, I’m having an issue with my QuietComfort Ultra headphones. When I walk or run, I hear a ‘pop’ sound in both ear cups, even with ANC on or off. I’ve seen several threads on forums where people mention the same problem. Could it be that my headphones are defective, or is this a common issue with this model?
They just aren’t made for working out earbuds would do you better
I have both, I think the buds are way better. Sound wise.
Do you think that there is a huge different in terms of ANC between earbuds and headphones
@@Halbaba158that’s what I’m trying to find out I plan on purchasing one
I have the headphones, but I want the ear buds for winter so I can wear a hat .
Hell no!
I love immersive audio on the headphones, ive only tried them in stores but never tried the earbuds, how similar are they
Hey, are you able to use Bose headphones ultra with meta quest 3?
yes
In the review the earbuds sound a lot worse and tiny compared to the headphones. Is that really the case?
They have very different sound signatures. The samples are accurately showing the difference.
Yes, the earbuds sound terrible actually ! It can't be that bad ?!
Over-ear headphones simply destroy In-ears low diff for comparison Sony wh-1000xm4 absolutely shit on Sony wf-1000xm4 I am pretty sure the same thing is with the Bose.
I had a different experience.
I tested both with low to mid frequency bus noises…
And cafe noise for mid to high frequencies
However, I tested the Bose QC earbuds 2 vs the Bose QC ultra headphones
The earbuds are noticeably stronger in noise cancelling.
Thank you for the review. It is just what I was looking for to help me decide between the Bose earbuds and headphones.
You're welcome :)
Compare with Beoplay EX
0:10 Really needed this comparison, I can afforad both but I need to know what of a difference there is in between them, specially cuz Ill use them for the gym, thx dude. Awezome vídeos.
Overall earbuds migth be better for working out, but I really feel guilty for the sound quality, Id like to train while hearing amazing music definition and not an outside sound on my ear, can someone who has already tried both tell me what suits me best?
I have both and rarely use my buds anymore unless I'm shopping or at the Doctor's office
From your testing….Do you think the earbuds or headphones sound better?
The earbuds sound quality test must be wrong because I have the QC Earbuds 2 and it sounds alot better than the test you showed
i always wondered which blocks more noise.. Earphones due to stronger passive isolation or headphones due to stronger anc technology
I have both, and same from Sony : Headphones noise cancelation is light years ahead of the earbuds
I have quietcomfort earbuds and sound like lower anc performance in time
yes, this video is the info i needed. headpone bose expensive..
Nice video Aaron. BOSE. Is overrated and over priced. Just tell their management that work in your mic quality, take the price down, and work on some latest features
How many Bose products do you and have you owned?
@@GalaxyNexus1 I bought qc45, qc2 buds, 700, qc buds ultra, every product was bought from Bose website and tried for month, then returned
To my ears, the earbuds have stronger ANC.
And better bass (amount and quality).
💯‼️🔊
Not a fair comparison on the noise cancellation on the earbuds. As you need to set them up with correct ear size
I’ve to add - Bose QC Ultra Earbuds’ ANC is somewhat of a letdown than QC II Earbuds. Aaron, ANC blocks out midrange and even low rumbling much better on QC II Earbuds than Ultra. I’ve a feeling that ANC’s Freq Response on QC Ultra Earbuds is more “flat” so as to accommodate more codecs, especially aptx.

Don’t get it why ANC on Ultras were a step down. Crying babies snd even fan’s whirring noise is worse on Ultras than QC IIs
Odd, by all accounts ANC has been described as identical on both ?
@@Peakabike i.imgur.com/TKsFINM.png
dude the mic is freaking aweful. I wanted to buy these over the sonys but mann that mic is unacceptable
Bose say black, when it's silver
No multipoint,count me out
Yep
The sound difference there is VERY exaggerated
Earbuds sounds like garbage next to the real thing!
Noooo. I’m watching these using the earbuds. I’m an audio engineer The earbuds sound amazing in person. The demo they used sounds NOTHING like the real thing.
