Pros and cons

According to our earbuds expert

The CustomTune technology scans the shape of your ears and adjusts the sound accordingly, so you get full and balanced audio.
With noise canceling, you barely hear anything of your surroundings and you can listen to music in peace.
Thanks to Bose Immersive Sound, you can enjoy spatial and realistic audio.
The earbuds aren't completely waterproof, so you can't clean them under the faucet.

Description

With the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds (2nd gen) Gold, the music sounds like you're at a live performance. Thanks to the CustomTune technology, the earbuds scan the shape of your ears. They adjust the sound and intensity of the noise canceling to this, so you hear a full and balanced sound. The noise canceling reduces ambient noise, so you can listen to music in peace. As a result, you can fully immerse yourself in your favorite songs in a busy room. If you want to stay aware of your surroundings, choose the Aware mode. That way, you can hear what's happening around you. You can hear spatial audio with Bose Immersive Sound, so it sounds realistic. That way, it feels like you're at a live concert.

Very happy customer with these Bose earplugs.

Grandiose sound of music
Noise cancelling works great
The options for adjustment via the app are very extensive
I had to get used to the phone sound/voices that you cannot adjust

The quality of these Bose Gen2s is more than excellent. I can easily isolate myself with earplugs in a busy environment. My conversation partner doesn't hear any ambient noise when I'm on the phone in a busy office (even with one earplug in).

The quality justifies the price

The sound
Comfortable
Works smoothly with iPhone, iPad, Mac, and even a Pi Zero2W

The sound is really good—you hear noticeably more detail than you're used to. The active noise cancellation (ANC) works well, although I can't compare it to other models. At the highest setting, ANC filters out a large portion of ambient noise. Not all of it, of course (but a system that completely cancels out everything simply doesn't exist).

The earbuds are exceptionally comfortable, and the audio quality is impressive. Even without music, they help you relax: children playing outside, cars, a lawnmower, or neighbors playing soccer… it all almost completely fades into the background.

I haven't made any calls with them yet—that wasn't the reason I bought them.

I hesitated for quite a while because of the price, but I find myself using them more often than I originally planned. That speaks volumes: I really enjoy them.

What should have been the 1st gen, top quality from Bose

Good fit in the ears
Excellent noise canceling
Good sound quality
The Bose app is limited

I had to reject the previous generation because of the significant problems it caused me with connection issues (high-frequency pitch, crackling, or occasional earbud drops), despite it also having excellent qualities, such as sound quality and ANC. This one doesn't have any of those issues, and the microphone is much better.
