Bose have one best warranty’s you’ll ever get from tech giant, I’ve damaged pair in laundry Bose replaced them free of charge. Unbeatable customer service and warranty.
@@DamopatrickRight! I only payed for the original QC earbuds back in 2020 and when they got bad Bose replaced them with the QC II and now, they’re trading me those for the Ultras! I’m having three different earbuds for the price of one! 😂
I have these as well as the over ear QC Ultra. They are the best I’ve owned except for THREE design and functional issues. No Multipoint is the biggest but I purchased them knowing that. No Wireless Charging, again I knew that before my purchase. The third is that they are a royal pain to get out of the case. I also have the USB-C AirPods Pro and the Bose QC Utra buds sound superior IMHO. I don’t think they are too bass heavy. Maybe you’re getting to that “Get Off My Lawn” age😂😂. Just kidding I’m 63
@@aaakmm1785 The AirPod Pro’s work well but I think the QC Utra’s are better, Maybe because they fit my ears better and they have the added ring for fitment. I did extensive testing with the sizing for each.
I know right. I'm baffled how this video downgrades these earbuds. I have them from the first day and I NEVER had better earbuds, and I tried a lot of them.
I have autism, extreme hypersensitivity to sound and kids. These are the only thing that help me regulate my life. While they COULD be better, I’m so thankful to have something to shut out the world when I need to. And yes, they are a little too bassy
I’m clinically diagnosed with ADHD (have to put that disclaimer these days) and I have a very loud and active 2 year old. Putting these in while I let him watch tv helps decrease my overstimulation in the evenings. I’m pleasantly surprised!
@Yaamaari is there any way to disable the touch features? I am wearing them while snowblowing, and they keep skipping songs, modes and even shutting off due to touching my hood. Extremely frustrating.
Honestly, the graph is only a point of reference. It's not a big deal. They still sound great. They're not muddy. It's actually consumer friendly. People talk about codecs but honestly, research have shown it's not a big deal. (Over the age 30 on avg).
Had these for 4 months now. I can say the bass is immaculate👌 ANC is literally god tier 👑 Music sounds exquisite 👍 The best fit and comfortable to wear for long periods of time. I can agree there is connection issues here and there. My personal opinion they beat AirPods Pro 2, beats earbuds as well. I’ve been hunting for earbuds forever. Very happy with these. Yes they definitely do have its flaws but nothing for me is a deal breaker.
@michaelcastaneda1199 do you know if there is a way to disable to touch feature? When I have my hood up, they keep skipping songs or shutting off due to touching my hood.
I have been using Bose headphones and earbuds for years now. As for the earbuds I have had the Bose Soundsport, and Quiet Comfort earbuds. I have been very loyal to Bose but the Samsung Buds2pro and Sony Xm4 made me realize how terrible the call quality is for Bose earbuds. Because of that I didn't get the Quiet Comforts 2. However, a few weeks ago I decided to buy the Ultra earbuds and these are my takeaways after 2 weeks of heavy usage. 1. As usual with Bose Earbuds, the noise cancelation and music sound quality is amazing. You will not hear the outside world at all and the music sounds very rich. I don't think the bass is heavy for the most part, but the one problem that Bose can't seem to get right is that when the volume is set to the maximum level, the sound does get a bit muddy and the music kind of has this piercing affect to the ear drums which is very uncomfortable. So I listen normally 1 level below the max. 2. It's very comfortable and won't come off of your ears. I used it in the gym and ran a few miles with it. Even with the sweat, buds are secure. 3. Call quality sucks, like really bad. The person on the other end of the phone can hear everything in your background. Nothing goes unnoticed to them in your background. My friend complains of how noisy my background is but she never did when I was using my Samsung earbuds. Also, the volume is very low in comparison to other earbuds. It's a struggle to hear the person on the other end. 4. The connectivity is absolutely terrible! I've never used earbuds that was this bad with staying connected to my phone. Not even the previous iterations were this bad. They often go in and out and sometimes I'll permanently lose connection. I often have to take the buds out, put it back in the case just to get it to reconnect. It's even worse when I'm in the city (midtown and downtown nyc). Even with the most recent firmware update from a few days ago didn't really address the issue. There was even a time where I put the earbuds back in the case and oddly enough the earbuds stayed connected even though the case was closed. It was annoying because I was trying to switch to my Bose 700s for a call. Overall, like the reviewer mentioned, for the first time ever I wouldn't recommend a Bose earbud product. For the $300 price tag it just feels like an unfinished product. However, I love the music quality, fit, and noise cancelation so much that I will keep them. Purchased mine from Best Buy with the 2 year warranty at full price. So I'm going to return my current pair for a new pair as they are now on sale for $250 with the black friday deal. And maybe the next pair won't have some of the issues I mentioned above. Sorry for the long review. Lol
Thank u budyy. Im literally sitting in my car trying to fgure out what i was gonna buy btwn these or the sonys again. Im usually sony and bose. I'll be getting the sonys
@@YaNice117 definitely appreciated. My 1st expensive set of headphones that changed everything for me were the bose, but bose hasn't been doing too well as of late.
If you update the firmware on the Bose QC Ultra earbuds, it will solve your connectivity issues. It takes a LONG time to update the firmware, but it does fix the connectivity problems. When I first got the QC Ultra earbuds, I had problems getting them to connect to my HP Envy laptop. The buds then notified me of a firmware update, which I installed and voila, no more connectivity problems. If you consider the superb fit, audio quality and control system on the QC Ultra earbuds, nothing even comes close to them. Oh and BTW the call quality has been improved over the QC II earbuds. But then, the call quality on all earbuds really isn't going to rock your world, including the Sony XM4s you mention.
@franklong6269 I updated the firmware a day after I purchased my first pair and it didn't really fix the connectivity issue. I even returned and got a second pair and again, I updated the firmware immediately and it still didn't fix the connectivity issue. Keep in mind I live in New York City and use it for my daily commute to midtown and downtown Manhattan. When I'm in crowded areas such as Grand Central, Times Square, etc, my buds are constantly going in and out. When I'm I'm in less crowded areas it's actually pretty decent. In short, the update barely did anything to fix the issue. Secondly, there are a lot of earbuds that have good call quality. My Samsung Buds Pro 2 call quality is 10x better than my QC Ultras. I noticed it on my end from day 1, and also everyone I speak to on the other end complain about how loud my background noise is. My girlfriend today complained that she felt like she was inside my mouth while I was eating. Her and others never complained when I was using my Bud Pro 2s. As a matter of fact I often use them for calls instead of QC Ultras. Trust me I'm a Bose fanboy but I call it how I see it, in this case how I hear it.
Just purchased these on a military shopping site for 211! Can't wait to get them in! Now I will be using this for when I'm out and about or traveling but I'm also looking at getting the sennheiser momentum 4 buds when they are out for pre order for around the house and also going out into town. Wish you guys had them in for a full in depth review on those.
I have to disagree that they are too bassy. Demo them some where if you can. They are just right in my opinion. The eq is just ok. I’m a musician and audiophile. For the purpose of pure entertainment and music and noise cancellation, these are awesome. Have to say the fit options are great! Bose has always been a love’m or hate’m for a lot of folks. They are earbuds, not a hi-end home theater. I bought them on Amazon deal day for 230$ instead of $300. If you don’t like them send them back.
I just bought these earbuds, and I have compared them to my 5.1 Harmon Kardon surround sound speaker system and my Bose 700 over-ear phones. You simply could not be more wrong in claiming that the Bose QC II Ultra Earbuds are "too bassy!" That is an absurd claim! These earbuds capture the full range of the bass arguably better than my over-ear Bose 700s and competitively with my surround sound speakers (which have exquisite sound and range). I invite you to listen to Manheimer Steamroller's stunning orchestral song, "Christmas Lullaby." The song's vast audio range has the most delicate isolated high-end tenor instruments, and then abruptly adds massive bass to accentuate the apex of the song. The QC II Ultra earbuds handle this song with accuracy and dexterity and beauty only surpassed by high-end multi-speaker systems. Manheimer's Christmas lullaby PURPOSELY unleashes an incredible bass range at the song's peak bridge that takes a well-tuned subwoofer to reproduce in speaker systems - as I said, it is massive. The QC II Ultra earbuds do a stunning job of accurately reproducing this low-end bass accent instrumental in the song. It doesn't match the actual range of a tuned subwoofer, but it does an AMAZING job, considering that these are tiny earbud speakers. You are just flat-out wrong, and you should apologize profusely to everyone in your audience for your gross incompetence in reviewing these earbuds! They realistically compete with the over-ear Bose 700s, which have some of the best, most accurate audio reproduction of any over-ear headphones, sans $10,000 specialist audiophile headphones! That is a stunning accomplishment!
What a load of crap. My $70 Skullcandy headphones sound just as good. And the immersive audio is a gimmick. Makes audio sound like it's coming out the back of my head. There is nothing impressive about these. Especially since they keep randomly disconnecting and cutting out!
@@adaml.5355if you honestly believe they're identical, you must have bought them second hand from someone who got counterfeits. I won't believe otherwise.
@@kaygee1623 when i first tried them yes. I like the adaptive noise cancelation. So only when surroundingz get loud does it increase the noise cancelation rather then just being fully deff to the outside world. The best way to test this was turning on a sink and letting the water run. Far away you can hear the water normal. As you get closer and the water gets louder the adaptive noise cancel triggers and it turns down your hearing incrementally as you get your ear closer to the loud running water. It really is a marvel of engineering.
@@kaygee1623 yeah i think the most practical use is the aware feature. It auto increases and decreases the noise cancelation. So you can hear all of the quiet sounds like a fan running or people talking from far way but. It will auto increase the the noise cancelation when loud music is being played. This gives the best of both world giving it alot of practical use. This was the major selling point for me.
I like the adaptive aware feature. As it can auto control the level of noise cancelation. So if you are in the office it will turn it off. So you can hear people in a quiet place. Or if you are in a loud room it will increase the level of noise cancelation to improve your listening experience. Its provides the best of both world. These are the only head phones I can use outside on jobs becuse of this feature.
These are really good, Just got mine on Christmas, enjoying the hell out of them, upgraded from the Soundsport free which i had since 2017 (they still work great) but my lady figured it was time for me to upgrade, The noise cancellation is excellent, a bit of a buzz issue with noise cancelling on, mainly hear it at low volumes, when you're tuned into anything media related you won't hear it.
STATIC SOUND: I have this weird issue with the left bud that has a static noise playing when in quiet mode and not playing music HACK: I figured that if you touch the earbuds on your ear and let that custom tune play out before inserting it fully that helps Do you have that problem??? and technical explaination??? does the hack work for you??
Interesting I wonder why that works. The idea of the custom tune is for feedback so it can customise the sound for your ears. You are in effect disabling this test
FYI, for those of you who prefer on-ear rather than in-ear buds, get the Bose QC gen 1. They may be bulkier but very comfortable and the ANC is excellent, better than even the new Sony. (you get black silent background whereas with Sony you still get some background white noise and hiss).
I really appreciate the honest review. Bose and beats are the higher priced headphones I’ve owned. (Aside from the countless disappointing under 100$ headphones I’ve owned) Beats are uncomfortable and lousy sound. Bose headphones and earbuds are comfortable and worth the price. And I actually prefer the deeper base. I also love the return policy. I had one set of earbuds that stopped working after 1year and the guy at the store simply handed me a new pair. Awesome! Anyways, much appreciated. Even though you don’t recommend them.
You actually sold me with saying its "too bassy" cause most earbuds dont have NEAR enough for me aside from other quietcomfort earbuds lol. I have the older first gen and decided to skip the last gen so I an very excited to try this one then!
Being more open minded Chris would be of benefit. There are a few buds out there that excel and provide lots of headroom in quality and sound adjustment. This Bose QC Ultra, Sennheiser Momentum 3 and the Technics AZ80 are all on par for fantastic sound but ALL need to be tuned to what one's listening to. For example the Sennheiser is fatter out of the box and in conjunction with the Wavelet app benefit the most. The Technics also present big initially and the Bose out of the box under undelivered. Interestingly the Bose built in app EQ, with it's simpler 3 bands settings offer more than Wavelet can accomplish and the built in Bose EQ makes a HUGE difference in standard rock/pop music.
Enjoyable video. I am going back and forth between these and the Ultra headphones. I agree with a couple of others that I dont find the bass too much...and I dont even like too much bass. When I tried the headphones at Best Buy, the were super comfortable, the ANC was definitely better than the Sony XM5s that I tried right next to them, but I wasnt able to compare either against the ANC of these earbuds. So i bought these, but Im thinking of buying the headphones and then sending one of them back. I love the portability of the earbuds, but I love the longer battery life of the headphones and their comfort...not that the earbuds are uncomfortable....they feel somewhat comfortable. Im just concerned Im sacrificing for the best ANC that the headphones might offer....so I want to compare them in my home environment.
over-the-ear headphones will always be better than earbuds that's just physics and common sense. I have one of each (Bose QC gen 1 earbuds and Focal Bathys headphone) I chose QC gen 1 because I prefer on-ear rather than in-ear buds.
This is an amazing straightforward review ❤ Thank u. I have an AirPod pro 2 and I was thinking of getting Bose for the better ANC feature, but I am reconsidering after this video. It worth 20k in my country and I think it’s way too expensive for what it’s offering.
Coming from the samsung galaxy buds 2 pro to these are like night and day. Granted, samsung buds have slightly better functionality on a samsung phone but the sound and noise cancelation on the QC ultras is a major step up and the immersion mode is legitimate surround sound in your ears. BOSE knocked it out of the park with these in my opinion.
I just bought these, and I agree with what people are saying about connectivity. It can be a little awkward to connect using the Bose app. But everything else is amazing, and the sound quality is far superior to other headphones I own, including my pro fold back sennheisers i use for drumming..
Bose connectivity is my biggest pain point. I have the QC IIs and I can connect them to my iPhone and use them for amazing comfort and ANC on flights, but there's something wonky and I can't have phone calls with them. People can't hear me when I speak, but I can hear them. I don't know why - I'm not muted or anything. The earbuds also don't connect easily to other devices or they lose their connection a lot. I have the Sony XM5s too and the difference in connectivity is night and day from the Bose. Man, I wish Bose would fix the connectivity issues. They'd be the perfect earbuds for me if they could do that. Sony's comfort and ANC is nowhere near as good to me, but they're more reliable, so I carry both sets and change them out depending on my situation. I'll hold off on buying the Ultras or whatever comes next until Bose fixes the connection issues.
I use airpods pro 2 on my android phone and my iPad. I get fantastic noise cancelling and transparency, excellent audio quality, brilliant usability and pocketability, personalise the sound using my iPad which carries over to my android phone use findability and do updates from my iPad which as the best tablet around is great.
My Sony WF1000MX5 just had leaft ear getting too quiet. Brought it back for warranty return. Have them since October 2023 and already got into a problem. I had MX3 and MX4 before - both had battery degradation within a year to only about 30-50 minutes of work on ANC. So no Sony for me anymore. I love the ANC and the sound quality of Sony but they are just a disaster in the durability department. I have Bose 700 for 4 years and they are just a pleasure to use. Battery still holds great. Sound and ANC are both great. I will give these Bose Ultra a chance.
They are fitting much better than the Sony XM5, which disturb my ear after a short time (subjective) and don't block speech noise very good unless you push them in very hard. The Bose QC I, II or Ultra are much better in this regard. These earwings are great. But I returned my ULTRA, because of the loud self noise. It was even noticeable, while playing music. Much more noise, than the QC II and QC I(I used both in comparison). Unfortunately the ULTRA also produced two sharp clicks in the left earbud during connection, which really hurt. Did you notice or could you measure this self noise or was my pair just bad luck? Does it depend on the initial ear canal sweep measurement and the calibration of the ANC?
They sound very average. The features are worse than competitors. The app broke and I had to pair again just after using them for an hour. AptX Adaptive doesn't even work, constantly cutting out. The headphones also have an audible digital buzz in the left ear.
I have the Bose Quiet Comfort Ultra Earbuds 2022 and was thinking about upgrading. My biggest issue with my current Bose earbuds is that the call quality just flat out sucks. Also, the max volume is pretty limited when using only one earbud while driving. I like to listen to SiriusXM sports talk radio. And most of the time It's just plain hard to hear everything. I only use one earbud while driving just to keep one ear open. When I receive a call, I often have to switch to my blue parrott headset as the bose has horrible call quality. People often can't understand me when I have on my bose earbuds. In all honesty, my Blue Parrott headset is the very best in call quality and not bad when listening to music. But they are pretty uncomfortable to wear for more than 30 minutes. Also, the McDonald's drive-thru headset look is not very appealing. I wish I could combine the Bose earbuds and the Blue Parrott B650xt. That would be the perfect combo for me.
The Bose Quiet Comfort Ultra earbuds are louder and provide more thump ! That being said.......the AZ80's have a slightly clearer overall sound and their case allows for wireless charging ! I prefer the bose when Im at the gym, and the AZ80's when sitting back at home !
I absolutely love these although the immersive sound is weird, but overall they're really good but I also I didn't pay three hundred dollars for them. I have the best buy warranty.
I love these earbuds, but one thing that bugs me is that the connectivity to my iphone is always sucks. This earbuds gets disconnected to my iphone all the time
Bought the xm5 earbuds and returned them. As soon as I put them in my ear. And turn on the music I said. These are rubbish. They are probably worth about 30 pounds. So I returned it straight away and I was complaining that they were burning my ears because of the foam pads very uncomfortable and does not stay in your ears at all. The sound is very normal.maybe I just have big ears
I've had the QC20 (wired) earbuds for many years. How does the QC Ultra compare? Especially in terms of ANC, Bass and also sound leakage. The QC20 has great ANC, zero sound leakage so I don't bother people around me. My daughter has the new Sony ANC over-ear which have a lot of sound leakage..
I have the QC 1 earbuds and I’m looking to upgrade. I have iPhone. I was debating the AirPod pro 2 vs QC ultra, I love the bass and noise cancelation from Bose but I actually hate the earwing thing on the QC 1, it doesn’t sit in my ear properly anymore mainly the left one and it hurts to wear after a while. Also my battery dies in 2-3 hrs of being on phone call which is garbage as I’ve only had them for 1 year this winter. I’ve watched many reviews on both AirPods and Bose, I’m leaning more towards Bose but let me know what anyone thinks off personal use from either
I recently purchased the Airpod Pro 2 and also have the QC Ultra earbud coming in a week or so. I previously owned the QC1 and was able to trade it in through the Bose website for the QC Ultra. To me, the QC1 was too bulky for my liking and the battery life is pretty standard compared to most wireless earbuds with ANC. The case of the QC1 was also bulky as hell but the silver lining is that it did offer wireless charging which the QC ultra doesn't. To me, the Airpod Pro 2 is a great everyday headphone that is sleek/less bulky, it fits my ear really well (not always the case with other earbuds), case has wireless charging, pretty to really good noice cancellation, very nice sound quality and a really good microphone. It has become my go to work headphones on the computer but it's best if you don't use the noice cancellation to stretch the battery life. My plans for the QC Ultra is to only use it when I want to listening to music or watch something on my phone and also times when I need a really good ANC (i.e. on an airplane). Not saying that the Airpod Pro 2 can't do or offer the same quality of what I'm planning to use the QC Ultra for but I always have bias towards Bose headphones/earbuds.
My old ones stopped working properly after 1 month of use. Unlike my QC25's headphones i've been using for 10 years... I'm rather aprehensive of the buds after such a horrible first experience.
Any chance you have the same frequency response test for the Soundcore by Anker Space A40 and/or EarFun Free Pro 3? Thanks for a great and technical review
It depends on the individual themselves. I've noticed younger people can handle base better and they tend to like base more. Older people tend to dislike base more. I've noticed other people in the comments completely disagreeing saying they are so into base and it's just the right amount of base in the earbuds. It just depends on the person themselves. I know a friend who really recommends these. I think when we're shopping we tend to be more particular and/or selective when buying things because we don't want to buy something expensive and be let down.
Yeah Great video but you must have overlooked the fact that you can completely custom tune these in the EQ settings. If you touch the sliders that are above the presets and move it up and down on the EQ you can turn the base completely off by going down to -10 or all the way up to +10… You don’t have to use any of the preset values. Base mid and high are all adjustable from -10 to +10..
these are amazing earbuds but after my 3rd pair i can confrim they randomly break a won't charge the buds really a shame on what would've the best earbuds of all time
I have these and the biggest flaw is you can't disable the touch features. So when I have my hood up in the rain or snow, or have a wool hat on that covers my ears, the buds go haywire!! Extremely disappointed.
You don’t touch on one of their main selling points, which is the fact that you can sleep in these. I would’ve liked that covered for a fuller review particularly as I’m sat here at 3 am, unable to sleep because of bass from a next door Venue….
Hello, I just got my QC Ultra eairbuds. They feel great and fit perfect, but I have one problem. They edmit white noise, so if I’m not playing music, there is a shssssss sound, because of this I can’t use theme in bed, or just use them to block out sound, hope someone can help, this is sooooo frustrating..
I just bought a pair yesterday and have a consistent static hiss in the left earbud. I did a firmware update and it’s still there. I think I’m sending them back. Is this an anomaly or are more people experiencing this?
@@johnny110291No and bluetooth connection issues got worse over the following week of having them. After reading many other reviews online, I decided they weren't worth the hassle for the price as others who were on their second or third replacements were still having issues, I returned them for a refund and went back to ole' reliable airpod pros. Sucks because, the airpods definitely do not have the sound quality of Bose, but they work and I got them for over $100 cheaper. Till next time Bose, if you read this, step up your game and you won't lose customers. My QC II's I've had for maybe 7-8 years - no issues at all so it was a complete bummer with the new earbud ultra's.
Great review. Can you in your written review overlay ANC and FR measurements for previous Bose earbuds? Can you make a tool that will allow comparisons of FR and ANC for any pair of headphones selected by the user? Do you have Bose Ultra headphones under review?
oh good grief YES! read description of all the issues i encounter just now (so should be at the top of the comments i guess.) They are INCREDIBLY frustrating headphones. you can't rely on them , you need to keep a spare pair handy at all times.

I wonder how much longer you will be married LOL
Break up already

This review only being 5 minutes, it was very informative.
How everyone should have their reviews
Honestly, the graph is only a point of reference. It's not a big deal.
They still sound great. They're not muddy. It's actually consumer friendly. People talk about codecs but honestly, research have shown it's not a big deal. (Over the age 30 on avg).
Had these for 4 months now.
I can say the bass is immaculate👌
ANC is literally god tier 👑
Music sounds exquisite 👍
The best fit and comfortable to wear for long periods of time.
I can agree there is connection issues here and there.
My personal opinion they beat AirPods Pro 2, beats earbuds as well. I’ve been hunting for earbuds forever. Very happy with these.
Yes they definitely do have its flaws but nothing for me is a deal breaker.

I have been using Bose headphones and earbuds for years now. As for the earbuds I have had the Bose Soundsport, and Quiet Comfort earbuds. I have been very loyal to Bose but the Samsung Buds2pro and Sony Xm4 made me realize how terrible the call quality is for Bose earbuds. Because of that I didn't get the Quiet Comforts 2. However, a few weeks ago I decided to buy the Ultra earbuds and these are my takeaways after 2 weeks of heavy usage.
1. As usual with Bose Earbuds, the noise cancelation and music sound quality is amazing. You will not hear the outside world at all and the music sounds very rich. I don't think the bass is heavy for the most part, but the one problem that Bose can't seem to get right is that when the volume is set to the maximum level, the sound does get a bit muddy and the music kind of has this piercing affect to the ear drums which is very uncomfortable. So I listen normally 1 level below the max.

3. Call quality sucks, like really bad. The person on the other end of the phone can hear everything in your background. Nothing goes unnoticed to them in your background. My friend complains of how noisy my background is but she never did when I was using my Samsung earbuds. Also, the volume is very low in comparison to other earbuds. It's a struggle to hear the person on the other end.
4. The connectivity is absolutely terrible! I've never used earbuds that was this bad with staying connected to my phone. Not even the previous iterations were this bad. They often go in and out and sometimes I'll permanently lose connection. I often have to take the buds out, put it back in the case just to get it to reconnect. It's even worse when I'm in the city (midtown and downtown nyc). Even with the most recent firmware update from a few days ago didn't really address the issue. There was even a time where I put the earbuds back in the case and oddly enough the earbuds stayed connected even though the case was closed. It was annoying because I was trying to switch to my Bose 700s for a call.
Overall, like the reviewer mentioned, for the first time ever I wouldn't recommend a Bose earbud product. For the $300 price tag it just feels like an unfinished product. However, I love the music quality, fit, and noise cancelation so much that I will keep them. Purchased mine from Best Buy with the 2 year warranty at full price. So I'm going to return my current pair for a new pair as they are now on sale for $250 with the black friday deal. And maybe the next pair won't have some of the issues I mentioned above. Sorry for the long review. Lol
Thank u budyy. Im literally sitting in my car trying to fgure out what i was gonna buy btwn these or the sonys again. Im usually sony and bose. I'll be getting the sonys
@Sai-xc8ij as much as I love Bose, I can't in good faith recommend the Ultras.
@@YaNice117 definitely appreciated. My 1st expensive set of headphones that changed everything for me were the bose, but bose hasn't been doing too well as of late.
If you update the firmware on the Bose QC Ultra earbuds, it will solve your connectivity issues. It takes a LONG time to update the firmware, but it does fix the connectivity problems. When I first got the QC Ultra earbuds, I had problems getting them to connect to my HP Envy laptop. The buds then notified me of a firmware update, which I installed and voila, no more connectivity problems.
If you consider the superb fit, audio quality and control system on the QC Ultra earbuds, nothing even comes close to them. Oh and BTW the call quality has been improved over the QC II earbuds. But then, the call quality on all earbuds really isn't going to rock your world, including the Sony XM4s you mention.
@franklong6269 I updated the firmware a day after I purchased my first pair and it didn't really fix the connectivity issue. I even returned and got a second pair and again, I updated the firmware immediately and it still didn't fix the connectivity issue. Keep in mind I live in New York City and use it for my daily commute to midtown and downtown Manhattan. When I'm in crowded areas such as Grand Central, Times Square, etc, my buds are constantly going in and out. When I'm I'm in less crowded areas it's actually pretty decent. In short, the update barely did anything to fix the issue.
Secondly, there are a lot of earbuds that have good call quality. My Samsung Buds Pro 2 call quality is 10x better than my QC Ultras. I noticed it on my end from day 1, and also everyone I speak to on the other end complain about how loud my background noise is. My girlfriend today complained that she felt like she was inside my mouth while I was eating. Her and others never complained when I was using my Bud Pro 2s. As a matter of fact I often use them for calls instead of QC Ultras. Trust me I'm a Bose fanboy but I call it how I see it, in this case how I hear it.
Just purchased these on a military shopping site for 211! Can't wait to get them in! Now I will be using this for when I'm out and about or traveling but I'm also looking at getting the sennheiser momentum 4 buds when they are out for pre order for around the house and also going out into town. Wish you guys had them in for a full in depth review on those.
With which EQ settings in Bose Music App did you get the closest ideal curve ?. Would be great if you could share that. Thankyou
Bass -1 Mids 0 Treble +1
I have to disagree that they are too bassy. Demo them some where if you can. They are just right in my opinion. The eq is just ok. I’m a musician and audiophile. For the purpose of pure entertainment and music and noise cancellation, these are awesome. Have to say the fit options are great! Bose has always been a love’m or hate’m for a lot of folks. They are earbuds, not a hi-end home theater. I bought them on Amazon deal day for 230$ instead of $300. If you don’t like them send them back.
Hello from Pasadena Califronia…I just bought it for $229+ tax at BestBuy!
I’m loving them!!
I'm going to best buy after work for them haha they are my Xmas present for myself =)
I just bought these earbuds, and I have compared them to my 5.1 Harmon Kardon surround sound speaker system and my Bose 700 over-ear phones. You simply could not be more wrong in claiming that the Bose QC II Ultra Earbuds are "too bassy!" That is an absurd claim! These earbuds capture the full range of the bass arguably better than my over-ear Bose 700s and competitively with my surround sound speakers (which have exquisite sound and range). I invite you to listen to Manheimer Steamroller's stunning orchestral song, "Christmas Lullaby." The song's vast audio range has the most delicate isolated high-end tenor instruments, and then abruptly adds massive bass to accentuate the apex of the song. The QC II Ultra earbuds handle this song with accuracy and dexterity and beauty only surpassed by high-end multi-speaker systems. Manheimer's Christmas lullaby PURPOSELY unleashes an incredible bass range at the song's peak bridge that takes a well-tuned subwoofer to reproduce in speaker systems - as I said, it is massive. The QC II Ultra earbuds do a stunning job of accurately reproducing this low-end bass accent instrumental in the song. It doesn't match the actual range of a tuned subwoofer, but it does an AMAZING job, considering that these are tiny earbud speakers.
You are just flat-out wrong, and you should apologize profusely to everyone in your audience for your gross incompetence in reviewing these earbuds! They realistically compete with the over-ear Bose 700s, which have some of the best, most accurate audio reproduction of any over-ear headphones, sans $10,000 specialist audiophile headphones! That is a stunning accomplishment!
AMEN. Totally unnecessary video with fake news/info 😂
How do you feel about the transparency mode on these
@@fernandobobadilla8158 It's very good. You access it by holding a long press on either bud.
What a load of crap. My $70 Skullcandy headphones sound just as good. And the immersive audio is a gimmick. Makes audio sound like it's coming out the back of my head. There is nothing impressive about these. Especially since they keep randomly disconnecting and cutting out!
@@adaml.5355if you honestly believe they're identical, you must have bought them second hand from someone who got counterfeits. I won't believe otherwise.
These are amazing.. I love them no complaints
I just got these. They are incredible. Its baffling how far technology has come. The noise cancelation and the sound is unreal. Worth every penny!
Really scary because you can't hear outside noises.
@@kaygee1623 when i first tried them yes. I like the adaptive noise cancelation. So only when surroundingz get loud does it increase the noise cancelation rather then just being fully deff to the outside world. The best way to test this was turning on a sink and letting the water run. Far away you can hear the water normal. As you get closer and the water gets louder the adaptive noise cancel triggers and it turns down your hearing incrementally as you get your ear closer to the loud running water. It really is a marvel of engineering.
@@kaygee1623 yeah i think the most practical use is the aware feature. It auto increases and decreases the noise cancelation. So you can hear all of the quiet sounds like a fan running or people talking from far way but. It will auto increase the the noise cancelation when loud music is being played. This gives the best of both world giving it alot of practical use. This was the major selling point for me.
I like the adaptive aware feature. As it can auto control the level of noise cancelation. So if you are in the office it will turn it off. So you can hear people in a quiet place. Or if you are in a loud room it will increase the level of noise cancelation to improve your listening experience. Its provides the best of both world. These are the only head phones I can use outside on jobs becuse of this feature.
@@WhiskeyRiver0how do you find the call quality?
These are really good, Just got mine on Christmas, enjoying the hell out of them, upgraded from the Soundsport free which i had since 2017 (they still work great) but my lady figured it was time for me to upgrade, The noise cancellation is excellent, a bit of a buzz issue with noise cancelling on, mainly hear it at low volumes, when you're tuned into anything media related you won't hear it.
STATIC SOUND: I have this weird issue with the left bud that has a static noise playing when in quiet mode and not playing music
HACK: I figured that if you touch the earbuds on your ear and let that custom tune play out before inserting it fully that helps
Do you have that problem??? and technical explaination??? does the hack work for you??
Interesting I wonder why that works. The idea of the custom tune is for feedback so it can customise the sound for your ears. You are in effect disabling this test
FYI, for those of you who prefer on-ear rather than in-ear buds, get the Bose QC gen 1. They may be bulkier but very comfortable and the ANC is excellent, better than even the new Sony. (you get black silent background whereas with Sony you still get some background white noise and hiss).
I really appreciate the honest review.
Bose and beats are the higher priced headphones I’ve owned.
(Aside from the countless disappointing under 100$ headphones I’ve owned)
Beats are uncomfortable and lousy sound.
Bose headphones and earbuds are comfortable and worth the price. And I actually prefer the deeper base.
I also love the return policy.
I had one set of earbuds that stopped working after 1year and the guy at the store simply handed me a new pair. Awesome!
Anyways, much appreciated. Even though you don’t recommend them.
I love these reviews, these people think that their opinion is the only one and no one else will have a different experience.
You actually sold me with saying its "too bassy" cause most earbuds dont have NEAR enough for me aside from other quietcomfort earbuds lol. I have the older first gen and decided to skip the last gen so I an very excited to try this one then!
Being more open minded Chris would be of benefit. There are a few buds out there that excel and provide lots of headroom in quality and sound adjustment. This Bose QC Ultra, Sennheiser Momentum 3 and the Technics AZ80 are all on par for fantastic sound but ALL need to be tuned to what one's listening to. For example the Sennheiser is fatter out of the box and in conjunction with the Wavelet app benefit the most. The Technics also present big initially and the Bose out of the box under undelivered. Interestingly the Bose built in app EQ, with it's simpler 3 bands settings offer more than Wavelet can accomplish and the built in Bose EQ makes a HUGE difference in standard rock/pop music.
How do you feel about the transparency mode on these - is it full?
I get mine in a couple days and I can't wait, you can't beat Bose sound quality
did you have any issues with connecting?
Enjoyable video. I am going back and forth between these and the Ultra headphones. I agree with a couple of others that I dont find the bass too much...and I dont even like too much bass. When I tried the headphones at Best Buy, the were super comfortable, the ANC was definitely better than the Sony XM5s that I tried right next to them, but I wasnt able to compare either against the ANC of these earbuds. So i bought these, but Im thinking of buying the headphones and then sending one of them back. I love the portability of the earbuds, but I love the longer battery life of the headphones and their comfort...not that the earbuds are uncomfortable....they feel somewhat comfortable. Im just concerned Im sacrificing for the best ANC that the headphones might offer....so I want to compare them in my home environment.
over-the-ear headphones will always be better than earbuds that's just physics and common sense. I have one of each (Bose QC gen 1 earbuds and Focal Bathys headphone)
I chose QC gen 1 because I prefer on-ear rather than in-ear buds.
@@papagen00but when it comes to noise cancelling, the earbuds always win right?
@@SideEffects297 over-the-ear will still have the best ANC, although Bose earbuds are scarily close (better than Sony, etc.)
This is an amazing straightforward review ❤ Thank u. I have an AirPod pro 2 and I was thinking of getting Bose for the better ANC feature, but I am reconsidering after this video. It worth 20k in my country and I think it’s way too expensive for what it’s offering.
I use the Sound ID app to tune the earbuds to a neutral response. They sound amazing with that.
Coming from the samsung galaxy buds 2 pro to these are like night and day. Granted, samsung buds have slightly better functionality on a samsung phone but the sound and noise cancelation on the QC ultras is a major step up and the immersion mode is legitimate surround sound in your ears. BOSE knocked it out of the park with these in my opinion.
I don’t agree with the overall recommendation. I think they are brilliant and would definitely recommend them!
Are they 200 dollars good? I see a deal on eBay.
I just bought these, and I agree with what people are saying about connectivity. It can be a little awkward to connect using the Bose app. But everything else is amazing, and the sound quality is far superior to other headphones I own, including my pro fold back sennheisers i use for drumming..
Have you got any of that static noise or buzzing
Bose connectivity is my biggest pain point. I have the QC IIs and I can connect them to my iPhone and use them for amazing comfort and ANC on flights, but there's something wonky and I can't have phone calls with them. People can't hear me when I speak, but I can hear them. I don't know why - I'm not muted or anything. The earbuds also don't connect easily to other devices or they lose their connection a lot. I have the Sony XM5s too and the difference in connectivity is night and day from the Bose. Man, I wish Bose would fix the connectivity issues. They'd be the perfect earbuds for me if they could do that. Sony's comfort and ANC is nowhere near as good to me, but they're more reliable, so I carry both sets and change them out depending on my situation. I'll hold off on buying the Ultras or whatever comes next until Bose fixes the connection issues.
You need to select them with the speaker button on the phone. They don’t automatically connect to calls. Not for speaking anyway.
Nice, a review on these that is not sponsored by Bose, Thanks!
I use airpods pro 2 on my android phone and my iPad. I get fantastic noise cancelling and transparency, excellent audio quality, brilliant usability and pocketability, personalise the sound using my iPad which carries over to my android phone use findability and do updates from my iPad which as the best tablet around is great.
My Sony WF1000MX5 just had leaft ear getting too quiet. Brought it back for warranty return. Have them since October 2023 and already got into a problem. I had MX3 and MX4 before - both had battery degradation within a year to only about 30-50 minutes of work on ANC. So no Sony for me anymore. I love the ANC and the sound quality of Sony but they are just a disaster in the durability department. I have Bose 700 for 4 years and they are just a pleasure to use. Battery still holds great. Sound and ANC are both great. I will give these Bose Ultra a chance.
Hard to find honest review. Thanks,
They are fitting much better than the Sony XM5, which disturb my ear after a short time (subjective) and don't block speech noise very good unless you push them in very hard. The Bose QC I, II or Ultra are much better in this regard. These earwings are great. But I returned my ULTRA, because of the loud self noise. It was even noticeable, while playing music. Much more noise, than the QC II and QC I(I used both in comparison). Unfortunately the ULTRA also produced two sharp clicks in the left earbud during connection, which really hurt. Did you notice or could you measure this self noise or was my pair just bad luck? Does it depend on the initial ear canal sweep measurement and the calibration of the ANC?
What do you mean by "self noise"?
God, the xm5s were such a let down for me. Bad fit, bad case, slippery and of course the battery had issues. The qc ultras are amazing
You should have talked about the Bose Quietcomfort 2 as an alternative
If something is only 'not bad' at £300, it's definitely bad.
absolutely.. a car, a house
They are the ticket they ain’t ( not bad ) they are top of the line
@justbudgs With no wireless charging, and no multipoint connection, the only thing premium about these, is the price.
They sound very average. The features are worse than competitors. The app broke and I had to pair again just after using them for an hour. AptX Adaptive doesn't even work, constantly cutting out. The headphones also have an audible digital buzz in the left ear.
@justbudgs what would be considered top of the line noise canceling earbuds? Trying to research a bit
I see too bassy as a good thing
To each their own! Some people definitely do love dat low-end. 👌🏽 Happy listening!
Yeah, that's usually the problem with earbuds and in the gym bass is probably my most sought after attribute
Need help, which should I buy? What is highest in dB comparied with Airpods 4 ACN, have Bose higher sound?
These are going to be perfect I love bass I just ordered them 🤌🤌
I have the Bose Quiet Comfort Ultra Earbuds 2022 and was thinking about upgrading. My biggest issue with my current Bose earbuds is that the call quality just flat out sucks. Also, the max volume is pretty limited when using only one earbud while driving. I like to listen to SiriusXM sports talk radio. And most of the time It's just plain hard to hear everything. I only use one earbud while driving just to keep one ear open. When I receive a call, I often have to switch to my blue parrott headset as the bose has horrible call quality. People often can't understand me when I have on my bose earbuds. In all honesty, my Blue Parrott headset is the very best in call quality and not bad when listening to music. But they are pretty uncomfortable to wear for more than 30 minutes. Also, the McDonald's drive-thru headset look is not very appealing. I wish I could combine the Bose earbuds and the Blue Parrott B650xt. That would be the perfect combo for me.
The Bose Quiet Comfort Ultra earbuds are louder and provide more thump !
That being said.......the AZ80's have a slightly clearer overall sound and their case allows for wireless charging !
I prefer the bose when Im at the gym, and the AZ80's when sitting back at home !
I absolutely love these although the immersive sound is weird, but overall they're really good but I also I didn't pay three hundred dollars for them. I have the best buy warranty.
I love these earbuds, but one thing that bugs me is that the connectivity to my iphone is always sucks. This earbuds gets disconnected to my iphone all the time
Immersion mode was good for me. It’s different feeling when listening to music. For me personally.
I LOVE my original quit comforts. The biggest downside is the inferior sound quality I now notice on all my other brands of earbuds.
You can adjust bass in your phone! These earbuds are the absolute best sounding earbuds out. I have the previous version and these are way better.
Merci! Ça m'aide vraiment à faire mon choix.
"They got everything right, except for 1 thing"
Also, later.
"I do not recommend these"
Nice edit, how many times did you rehearsal that for a final take?
One take wonder, baby! 😎
I have both and for sound quality I would go with the Bose but my AirPods are way more convenient better quality and better call quality
Bought the xm5 earbuds and returned them. As soon as I put them in my ear. And turn on the music I said. These are rubbish. They are probably worth about 30 pounds. So I returned it straight away and I was complaining that they were burning my ears because of the foam pads very uncomfortable and does not stay in your ears at all. The sound is very normal.maybe I just have big ears
Should have added the Sennheiser Momentum true wireless 3 to the comparison aswell.
I've had the QC20 (wired) earbuds for many years. How does the QC Ultra compare? Especially in terms of ANC, Bass and also sound leakage. The QC20 has great ANC, zero sound leakage so I don't bother people around me. My daughter has the new Sony ANC over-ear which have a lot of sound leakage..
It’d be great if the main focus of recent earbud companies was sound quality.
Hate the fit on the WF-1000XM4, a constant struggle
Why is no one talking about the inconsistency in the noise cancellation?
Can I use these with just one ear bud at a tike if I wanted too or does one have to be out of the case so the other one turns on?
I have the QC 1 earbuds and I’m looking to upgrade. I have iPhone. I was debating the AirPod pro 2 vs QC ultra, I love the bass and noise cancelation from Bose but I actually hate the earwing thing on the QC 1, it doesn’t sit in my ear properly anymore mainly the left one and it hurts to wear after a while. Also my battery dies in 2-3 hrs of being on phone call which is garbage as I’ve only had them for 1 year this winter. I’ve watched many reviews on both AirPods and Bose, I’m leaning more towards Bose but let me know what anyone thinks off personal use from either
I recently purchased the Airpod Pro 2 and also have the QC Ultra earbud coming in a week or so. I previously owned the QC1 and was able to trade it in through the Bose website for the QC Ultra. To me, the QC1 was too bulky for my liking and the battery life is pretty standard compared to most wireless earbuds with ANC. The case of the QC1 was also bulky as hell but the silver lining is that it did offer wireless charging which the QC ultra doesn't.
To me, the Airpod Pro 2 is a great everyday headphone that is sleek/less bulky, it fits my ear really well (not always the case with other earbuds), case has wireless charging, pretty to really good noice cancellation, very nice sound quality and a really good microphone. It has become my go to work headphones on the computer but it's best if you don't use the noice cancellation to stretch the battery life. My plans for the QC Ultra is to only use it when I want to listening to music or watch something on my phone and also times when I need a really good ANC (i.e. on an airplane). Not saying that the Airpod Pro 2 can't do or offer the same quality of what I'm planning to use the QC Ultra for but I always have bias towards Bose headphones/earbuds.
Way too much bass?? Count me in! You just sold me on these ear buds 💀🤣
My old ones stopped working properly after 1 month of use. Unlike my QC25's headphones i've been using for 10 years...
I'm rather aprehensive of the buds after such a horrible first experience.
what would you recommend to someone who listens mostly to techno and house music?
Absolutely. I listen to techno, trance, house, hard style and it is insane!
Any chance you have the same frequency response test for the Soundcore by Anker Space A40 and/or EarFun Free Pro 3? Thanks for a great and technical review
Mine has no flaw. Its perfect . I did not pay for it. Its a bday gift !
Can you wirelessly charge the case? Or only charge via a cable?
Seem to be pretty bad call quality for listeners if any background noise around me. Any fixes?
Not bad then which will give you the best audio sound ?
Is there much difference between quietcomfort earbuds and quietcomfort ultra in terms of noise cancellation?
If its not 300$ good and you dont recommend. What do you recomend in that price range?
It depends on the individual themselves. I've noticed younger people can handle base better and they tend to like base more. Older people tend to dislike base more. I've noticed other people in the comments completely disagreeing saying they are so into base and it's just the right amount of base in the earbuds. It just depends on the person themselves. I know a friend who really recommends these. I think when we're shopping we tend to be more particular and/or selective when buying things because we don't want to buy something expensive and be let down.
Connectivity issues with these make them a joke, I'm returning them
Is it possible your software and opinion are not in sinc with the preference of the masses. Thanks for the decent content.
My microphone is not nice.. Everyone on call is complaining that it's too loud and my voice too quiet. Any tips for this?
Yeah Great video but you must have overlooked the fact that you can completely custom tune these in the EQ settings. If you touch the sliders that are above the presets and move it up and down on the EQ you can turn the base completely off by going down to -10 or all the way up to +10… You don’t have to use any of the preset values. Base mid and high are all adjustable from -10 to +10..
How do you feel about the transparency mode on these
I do like them and I love the sound however their touch feature is very sensitive my hair can barely sweep it and it’ll pause the music.
these are amazing earbuds but after my 3rd pair i can confrim they randomly break a won't charge the buds really a shame on what would've the best earbuds of all time
I have sony xm4 and I prefer my soundcore space a 40s for music
Hi there, can you use these as hearing aids? Is there an app that can do a hearing test and then boost the frequencies you are deficient? Many thanks
Wow you just make me think twice of buying these... How about the bang and olufsen ex? Do you think are better?
I have these and the biggest flaw is you can't disable the touch features. So when I have my hood up in the rain or snow, or have a wool hat on that covers my ears, the buds go haywire!! Extremely disappointed.
You don’t touch on one of their main selling points, which is the fact that you can sleep in these. I would’ve liked that covered for a fuller review particularly as I’m sat here at 3 am, unable to sleep because of bass from a next door Venue….
I still use my Quiet Comfort II heavily now and still be happy with it. With 'just that' Quiet Comfort Ultra can offer, I'll just pass.
Hello, I just got my QC Ultra eairbuds. They feel great and fit perfect, but I have one problem. They edmit white noise, so if I’m not playing music, there is a shssssss sound, because of this I can’t use theme in bed, or just use them to block out sound, hope someone can help, this is sooooo frustrating..
I just bought a pair yesterday and have a consistent static hiss in the left earbud. I did a firmware update and it’s still there. I think I’m sending them back. Is this an anomaly or are more people experiencing this?
Did it ever go away
@@lubbersdandid It go away
@@johnny110291No and bluetooth connection issues got worse over the following week of having them. After reading many other reviews online, I decided they weren't worth the hassle for the price as others who were on their second or third replacements were still having issues, I returned them for a refund and went back to ole' reliable airpod pros. Sucks because, the airpods definitely do not have the sound quality of Bose, but they work and I got them for over $100 cheaper. Till next time Bose, if you read this, step up your game and you won't lose customers. My QC II's I've had for maybe 7-8 years - no issues at all so it was a complete bummer with the new earbud ultra's.
Sadly no:(
Great review. Can you in your written review overlay ANC and FR measurements for previous Bose earbuds? Can you make a tool that will allow comparisons of FR and ANC for any pair of headphones selected by the user?
Do you have Bose Ultra headphones under review?
Can you use these at shooting range? Has anyone tried?
For sound quality, nothing can beat beoplay eq. But, anc just average and the fit is a pain in the ass. IMHO.
Do these have connectivity issues like the QC 2 ?
oh good grief YES! read description of all the issues i encounter just now (so should be at the top of the comments i guess.) They are INCREDIBLY frustrating headphones. you can't rely on them , you need to keep a spare pair handy at all times.
Yes and they seem to have a common defect issue where the left earbud has a static noise similar to a radio out of reciever range.....
How are qc2 for 200?
Yup got it for $200. Just wait it out
I’ve had my quiet ears too for about six months. It is a terrible product. Don’t waste your money.
What happened to charging the earbuds while in their case?
What were you doing in the corner?
I guess they are the best around if you get them for free right?
Never too much bass
Did you say way to bassy? Yup im buying it now
All about that bass, 'bout that bass
