3rd pair - the quality has gone way downhill

My 3rd pair of Bose earbuds in 7 years. The sound quality is AMAZING. I love the new case design.
Bluetooth constantly disconnects. The touch features are way too sensitive and cannot be completely turned off. I had to send one set back to the manufacturer already because they just stopped working.
Overall, I am really disappointed. It's unlikely that I will purchase another pair of Bose buds.

Never owned the new Technics or the Sony earbuds, or the much talked about Apples, but have several, including Samsung, JBL, PLT, Cambridge, Jabra, Motorola, Creative Aurvana, and several lesser brands. I have a pair of JBL I'm keeping but the rest going out the door. The Bose QC Ultras, all I can say is WOW! I own Bose Champion 3 and 5 plus a Bluetooth speaker. Waste of my time to even have tried the other earbuds.
I bought these ear buds because I was looking for a product with great sound quality and a decent microphone for business calls. These has not disappointed from that perspective. However, when it comes to adjusting these ear buds while wearing, I find them to be overly sensitive. They often come loose during work outs and when I try to readjust them, the tap and slide co trims are so sensitive that they often stop my music, skip a song when I don’t want it skipped, return to the start of the song, etc. would be great to have something g a little more work out friendly. I am also disappointed with battery life of both the case and the headsets. I went 3 days without charging the case, and even though the earbuds were properly inserted, both fully lost charge. Also, other cheaper and inferior earbuds offer up to 10 hours of listening before the batteries die. These are relatively short at only 3 to 4 hours before a charge is needed.
Love Bose hardware. I use to work at a stereo store in the mid 70's (when they were popular) and owned a pair of 901's. I was hooked. I also have the Ultra open ear, the max Bluetooth speaker and the Ultra QC headphones. All are fantastic.
Noise cancellation is top notch but i might go back to a headset with a mic that loops around near the mouth. the sound for the recipient is horrible and I've been told it sounds like there are "pots and pans being banged in the background", the sound for them is echoey, tinny, and loud overall, very hard to hear. For $300, you'd think there would be better tech to allow the recipient to hear the caller. If you are just interested in the noise cancellation function though, again top notch. I spend a lot of time for work on the phone and these won't work for me.
