Great sound, great fit

I got these ultra ear buds a few weeks ago, and I've been thrilled with the sound quality. The tones are very clear and rich. The fit is excellent, especially since you can switch up and interchange the rims and the earpieces to fit your ears.
The noise cancellation is incredible. I can't hear my garage door close at all now, even standing next to it. I barely hear my lawnmower. Windy weather? No problem. Sometimes I don't hear my wife... gotta be careful with that! Honestly, I've never experienced nose cancellation this good, not even with my old Bose QC headphones. And it's not an uncomfortable feeling in your ears either. It feels amazingly normal and comfortable.
There's a feature where, when you first put them in after a charge, each bud will do a 'sound check' to adjust for the acoustics of your ear. Maybe that's too get the spatial sound set up just right. Spatial sound is really cool. You can close your eyes and feel like you're in a room with the musicians.
The case is beautiful, black with rounded edges. It lays down, but I wish it could also stand up. Also, as with a lot of these ear bud cases, it's easy to lose, so I wish it had a find-me feature with sound. It fits nicely in my pocket and is no trouble to carry around.
It was really easy to set up and configure and the controls it gives you are just right... not complex but not too limiting either.

Gorgeous sound quality and clarity!

I’ve had these for two weeks and put them to the test! I work on a 7,200 hp diesel engine towboat… which is to say my work environment is very, very loud! When I have these in immersive mode I can’t hear the engines AT ALL! Other earbuds never manage to cut out all the ambient noise. True to the Bose reputation the sound quality is superb. I listen to everything from classical music to rap and it all sounds amazing with these. They fit very comfortably and actually stay in my ears, even when I’m exercising outside and getting sweaty. The magnet holding them in is strong so I’m fumbled and dropped them while getting them out. But, at least that means they’re nice and secure. I absolutely love these ear buds!!

Best Earbuds on the Market

I recently upgraded to the Bose QC Ultra Earbuds from the Bose QC Earbuds II and I want to share with you my experience.
My first real experience came on a cross country flight as I had to head out to the West Coast. While I was sitting at my gate, I had to take several work related calls. Even with all of normal commotion that is a Monday morning in an airport, the sound quality on the call was outstanding and the noise cancellation feature works just as advertised.
I hopped on the flight and put on some of my favorite songs. I switched the earbuds over to "Immersion" mode and was met with the big upgrade on these earbuds. I absolutely love the "Immersion" mode, especially when listening my favorite Country & Classic Rock songs.
I use these earbuds on my nightly runs and while I mow my yard on a zero turn mower. They fit easily in the ear and are very comfortable to wear. I've also never had to worry about them falling out while I'm moving around.
I absolutely love these new earbuds. Bose continues to distinguish themselves with the best products on the market and these new earbuds are no different. You will not be disappointed. I'm very glad I upgraded and you will be too.

Left me speechless!

I expected exceptional quality from Bose, and listening to music with these QC Ultra Earbuds, with immersion technology, brought my experience to a whole new level. It is hard to describe how amazing the sound quality is, and it truly feels like sound is in front of me and all around me. I love wearing these to the gym because it blocks the surrounding noises, while giving me exceptional audio. I can even take a call and the sound is clear.
Also, the battery life is awesome. I had a full workout, came home, and the battery was still full! Don’t need to charge as frequently as other earbuds. Truly exceptional!

As a long time Bose fan, they really hit the mark with the Ultra Earbuds. I am completely obsessed with them. I travel for work frequently and the noise cancellation is next level, for earbuds. It’s so convenient to not have to travel with over the ear headphones- and these get the job done. The sound quality is also amazing - I love the addition of immersive sound, really a game changer.

I've been using the Bose ultra earbuds for a while now, and they're pretty awesome! One of the ways I use them is for my daily workouts. They stay securely in place and the sound quality is top-notch, which keeps me motivated during my exercise sessions.
Now, let's talk about the pros and cons. On the positive side, the sound quality is amazing, with deep bass and clear highs. The earbuds are also comfortable to wear for extended periods, thanks to their ergonomic design. Another big advantage is the long battery life, which means I can enjoy my music without worrying about running out of juice.
On the downside, the price of the Bose ultra earbuds is a bit higher compared to some other options.
Overall, I highly recommend the Bose ultra earbuds for their exceptional sound quality, comfort, and long battery life. They're a great choice for music lovers and those who want a reliable and immersive audio experience. 🎶😄

The best ANC earbuds just got better

I received these to review through the My Bose Sneak Peek program.
I’ve been a dedicated user of Bose ANC earbuds since the QuietComfort 15s. I have a medical condition that means I struggle with hyperacusis (sound sensitivity). ANC earbuds are absolute lifesavers for me.
Before receiving these to review, I was using the QuietComfort II’s daily. I considered them to be the best ANC buds on the market in terms of the quality of noise canceling and sound quality. I mention the QuietComfort II’s because the Ultras are extremely similar to them. The outer hardware is nearly identical, the fit is the same, the sound (in standard mode) seems the same, the ANC seems the same. The II’s are fantastic earbuds, so these are all compliments. I’ve tested the Ultras in a wide variety of environments with a wide variety of audio, and they should impress those who need the most robust ANC as well as audiophiles. They helped me get through a broken fire alarm going off mistakenly for far too long, which speaks to how excellent the ANC is.
The big upgrade for the Ultras is the immersion mode. Earbuds, especially ANC earbuds, generally suffer from sounding “closed off.” They’re the polar opposite of openback headphones for obvious reasons. Immersion mode does a pretty remarkable job of making earbuds that shouldn’t be able to sound open do exactly that. I found it particularly shined when I was playing a video game that utilized spatial audio to its full potential. It is a lovely feature to have, with the downside that it drains the battery even more than quiet mode does.
The QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds are a nice update on an already great product. I highly recommend to anyone who doesn’t have the QCII’s. That being said, if you already have the QCII’s, I’m not sure it’s worth the cost to upgrade just for immersion mode. Though If you need to have the best ANC buds on the market, these are definitely them.
Very small note—I wish Bose had dropped these with some interesting color variants. Given that the hardware and features are so similar to the QCII’s, it would have been a nice perk for upgrading. The color variant used for the Normani collab would have been great for this.
Wanted to add a picture of my ear with the Ultra Earbuds in for my fellow pierced friends! As you can see, I have many ear piercings, including a daith on both ears. With the customizable ear tips and fins, I can get a great fit and seal.

A Significant Step Forward.

I had been using Bose QC earbuds for a couple of years and was very happy with the performance. I had a hard time imagining that a new earbud would be different enough to make me invest in an upgrade but Bose really delivered with the new QC ULTRA earbuds. The first thing that I noticed was a change in the shape of the earbuds and the way they fit the ear. I found that the seal was much more secure on the new ultra earbuds, they fit my ear better and were more comfortable. The other new feature that I just loved was Immersive Audio. The additional depth of sound in the motion setting and the directionality in the still setting added so much richness to the quality of sound and really enhanced my enjoyment, particularly when listening to music. I still preferred the quiet setting for Podcasts or Audiobook listening. The final feature that I had in my other earbuds but found myself using more in the Ultra earbuds was the ability to decide which shortcuts you wanted programmed into your earbuds. I found this feature especially nice in controlling the additional new features. Overall, I loved the new earbuds and feel that the new features are significant enough to more than justify the upgrade.
