[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I won these at a good friend’s Jack and Jill. Unbeknownst to me, these are some of the greatest headphones I’ve ever owned. The sound quality is top tier and the noise cancellation is like a breath of fresh air for your brain lol I feel so at peace listening to music, podcasts, and phone calls with them. 1000% recommend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We live near a freeway and when I put in my quiet comfort ultra ear buds all I hear is the music or the podcast, not the freeway! Love them!!

Good enough, but disappointing. Small ears beware

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am very happy with the fit. I think the stability bands were a great idea and make what is a fairly bulky device far more stable than I would have expected. I was also pleasantly surprised by the noise cancellation, it's still not as effective as the noise cancellation of my 4+ year old Bose 700s, but it does work in some specific use cases while still letting in some annoying frequencies (even after running a successful seal test). If you're a smaller person with small ears (I'm 5'9" with fairly average ears from what I can tell) I do not believe these will work for you. I fear these may have been subject to the common failure of western designers using QA testers who tend towards the average american male traits.
The software customization is very disappointing. No matter what I try, switching modes is always accompanied with the robot voice saying what setting it is now in even when you only have 2 distinctly different, easily recognizable modes that are self evident without the interruption. What makes it worse is that it will sometimes accept my input, return the robot voice saying I'm in "aware" mode (for example) but the mode settings are still in "quiet" mode until I resubmit the input and the robot repeats the same mode as the change is actually made to the mode setting. I've also had issues with earbuds not knowing the difference between being in my ears or set on the table and continuing to play audio in the background when I'm expecting it to be paused based on the manual.
The most disappointing element is the poor quality build of the case. The case is essential to the product, the earbuds are useless without it, so the attention to detail should still be there for such an integral element of the product. Difficulties taking out the earbuds with long nails is something I can understand being missed during QA tests, but the hinge of the case is poorly designed and executed to a shocking degree. It's immensely wobbly when closed and feels like it could break with a single drop at the wrong angle. These Bose buds are $50 more expensive than the current high-end earbud "standard" (the ones that are optimized for iOS exclusively) which, in contrast, has the best executed earbud case I've seen so far: the hinge is actually made of a material that is up to the task of functioning as a robust hinge at a small scale with high use.
After the impeccable experience I had with the Bose 700 headphones (which I would give 4/5 because they're, once again, not good for small heads), I was expecting a comparable degree of build quality, and that may have been my own mistake. I'll be keeping them, they're functional earbuds with the expected Bose audio fidelity, but it is a very disappointing build quality that I am simply hoping won't lead to these becoming e-waste due to a bad drop or the hinge just giving up what little it had to give it begin with (although I imagine I could return them to be refurbished if that sad future would ever come to pass, which is of come comfort).

Bose Ultra: Epic Sound: Stellar Level

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] By far the best investment that I have made in TechWear for a long time. The superior quality of the product in combination with the modern virtual interface and personalized performance settings rate this purchase in the top tier for the year. I am a full time college student so I wear these Bose QuietComfort Ultra Wireless Earbuds for their second to none noise cancelling qualities during the downtimes between listening to great music and managing the daily barrage of inbound calls and team zoom meetings.
