Honestly, I expected better. The sound quality is decent, but there are always high pitches coming from the sound canceling. It is often worse than the sound being canceled. There is no option to find lost earbuds, which every brand I have used in the past have. Lastly, the case is lightweight plastic that feels really cheap. Every time I put these on, I feel like I am using some garbage Wal-Mart.

Hello, thanks for leaving your thoughts regarding the QC Ultra Earbuds. It's great to hear you were impressed by the sound quality, but I'm sorry to hear you were not impressed by the material quality of the product. With the high-pitched sound you mentioned, this isn't something we've seen reported but if you need any assistance, please do not hesitate to get in touch via https://bose.life/3ET4mCs.
I replaced my previous Bose Ear Buds with the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds and very happy with the sound quality and noise cancelling capabilities, but not so happy with the fit. I do need to play with the different earpieces available but have had the buds fall out of my ears several times and they feel like they are not snug.

Hello, thanks for leaving your initial thoughts of the QC Ultra Earbuds. It's fantastic to hear how you've been blown away by the sound quality and noise cancellation capabilities of the buds, but I'm disappointed to hear how you've found it difficult to obtain a good fit when wearing them.
Our Ultra Earbuds ship with 3 included tip sizes, they range from the medium size that is installed out of the box, and an additional small, and large size. It's worth noting that our ears are not always symmetrical, therefore you may need a large for one side, but a medium for the other. I'd encourage you to try this out to see if you can find a better fit. If that doesn't help, we offer alternate size tips on our website here: https://www.bose.com/p/accessories/bose-quietcomfort-ultra-earbuds-alternate-sizing-kit/CMWB-QCUE-AL-EARTIPKIT.html?dwvar_CMWB-QCUE-AL-EARTIPKIT_color=WHITE+SMOKE&dwvar_CMWB-QCUE-AL-EARTIPKIT_productSize=SIZE+EXTRA+SMALL+TIPS%2C+EXTRA+LARGE+TIPS%2C+0+L%2FR+BANDS%2C+AND+4+L%2FR+BANDS&quantity=1.
I have two pairs of the quiet comfort earbudds, they are working well, love them, the reason that I have two is I have tinnitus, so I wear them every night, unfortunately the one set will not last all night long.
Maybe my expectations were too high. I have so many Bose products that I have enjoyed for many years. These ultra earbuds constantly get out of sync or just lose the bluetooth connection. The case won't charge if the buds are slightly out of alignment. I can't get a good fit in my ear. As always the tech is amazing, I really like the noise canceling and immersion.

I purchased two pairs of these and both have had problems. There was a crackling in the first pair and it would randomly disconnect, the second pair also randomly shuts off sometimes and will make a loud click and disconnect for a few minutes. The earbuds are super comfortable and sound really good. And stay in my ear while mountain biking. Also, I've had problems with both pair when listening to a podcast will not stay paused it'll automatically start playing one second after pausing. There's a lot of great things about these headphones but there's also some frustrations. Right now the right bus stopped working. It'll probably randomly start working tomorrow.
