What Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds owners say

They’re my instant new favorite. I’ve never had ear buds that fit more securely without discomfort, the ANC really is amazing, and the sound quality is top-shelf.

These Gen 2s hit a home run. They are phenomenal for ANC. Music quality is superb.

I wish Bose would fix the microphone during calls most people tell me they hear excessive noise when I am on a call if I am in a noisy environment
