Legendary Bose Sound with some minor challenges.
The earbuds have legendary Bose sound that's incredible. However the sound and functions are very hard to use as they are so sensitive. For instance when I change the volume I often stop the music and have to start the song again. I also find that keeping them snug in my ear is challenging, especially with activity.

Another great Bose product
This is my second pair of these fine Bose products. I had to replace my previous set that I lost during a recent trip to Washington DC. That’s a long story won’t get any more in to that but absolutely loved them and had to cough up for some again. The sound quality is phenomenal only wish they were just a bit louder volume-wise. Highly recommend these earbuds just buy them don’t think you will be disappointed. The noise reduction feature is amazing. Use it when I want to sleep on the plane! A must-have for frequent flyer!!

Room for improvement
Bought this item recently and overall happy with it. But there’s room for imprisonment: the surface of the earbuds is extremely sensitive which results in a change of output quality without intent. Increasing and decreasing the volume from pushing up or down on the surface hardly functions. Touching the surface changes settings too easily. The volume level is also not great.

Hello, thank you for sharing your feedback. We're glad to hear that you're happy with your QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds (2nd Gen). We're sorry that the touch controls and volume adjustment did not fully meet your expectations. The earbuds use touch controls that allow you to play/pause audio, adjust volume, manage calls, change listening modes, and adjust Immersive Audio settings by tapping or swiping on either earbud. You can also customize your listening modes in the Bose app by adding new modes or removing ones you don't use. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. Your feedback regarding the touch sensitivity and volume controls has been noted, and we'll make sure it's shared with the appropriate team for review. Thank you for being part of the Bose community.

Excellent earbuds albeit battery life could be better
I came from Apple Airport Pro 3 with beta firmware (so it has EQ and you can also adjust the ANC level) but Bose just has rich, warmer sound with excellent bass (I listen to a lot of Rock music so bass is a must). The one star ding is for battery life which could be better (6 hours vs Airport's 8 hours). The touch control is also a tad too sensitive to my liking but i'll adjust.

I was sceptical on what these would provide… I bought 50:50 thinking I might be returning them. Blown away by how good they are / sound cancelling immersion is unbelievably good. Motion sound is amazing. I’m not returning these !!!

ok for the price
all good for ANC and sound quality, but call quality and connectivity using my android phone is average compared to samsug bud pro2, also disappointed by the charge time, I left it outside the cage for few hours (used only for 2 hours but left outside for say 4hrs or so) and it drained out completely! very disappointing! should have more aggressive sensers to know when not in use and sleep to save battery!

Great ear buds
Excelente noise canceling, clear crisp sound, comfortable enough to sleep with. They are hard to fall out, haven't tried the battery longevity yet. For this reason I've been a bose fan for years

Disappointing
Wanted to see if earbud noise canceling was really possible.....turns out not, beyond whatever sound muffling comes from having an earbud put into your ear. My other reason for being dissatisfied is that i hoped to control the earbuds through an app rather than trying to remember how to tap the earbuds to control them....app was near ilmpossible to get to connect to the earbuds and when i succeeded the connection dropped within minutes and the difficult repairing/connecting process began all over again. I will say that the sound of the earbud was good, but i hoped mostly for the other qualities mentioned above and decided to return the item. I did get a good price on the item from Target website.

Hi Elaine, thank you for giving the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds (2nd Gen) a try and for writing such a detailed review! We’re happy to hear the sound quality made a positive impression, but we are really sorry that the noise canceling and app experience didn't meet your expectations. Dropouts and pairing difficulties with the Bose app are definitely not the seamless experience we aim to provide, nor should the noise cancellation feel like basic ear-muffling. While we completely respect your decision to return them, we genuinely appreciate your candid feedback, it plays a vital role in helping us refine our app stability and features. As a future reference for the connection of the earbuds here is a helpful article to resolve the issue with the earbuds: https://bose.life/4bXJFH6 Gem - Bose Customer Support
