This is my first pair of earbuds from Bose. My previous earbuds do not compare to the quality Bose has. The sound and the fine tuning abilities on the app to get the perfect sound you want.
Sound for music is amazing, the noise canceling is next level; however, sound quality for phone calls is trash.
I need these for calls and music, calls sound is very important. It sounds like people are under water and the volume needs to increase. The volume will not adjust, sound modes don't help, equalizer adjust does not help. Samsung buds call quality is much better. I should have bought another pair instead of these.

Hello, thanks for leaving your thoughts of the QC Ultra Earbuds. It's fantastic to hear you were impressed by the sound quality and noise cancellation, but I'm disappointed to hear you've not been satisfied with the quality of calls. This shouldn't happen so, to remedy this, I'd encourage you to unpair and establish a new connection. I'd also recommend checking volume levels on your smartphone - as volume levels may be separate, with there being separate options for calls vs music. Finally, it is a good idea to stay within 10m/33ft of your smartphone to ensure an optimum connection. Being too far can result in a degraded audio signal.

Left earbud has extreme persistent connectivity issues. $300 for 1 earbud is ridiculous! Do better Bose, stop pushing a product that doesn't work as intended.
