Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds A
Best Out There, But Some…

I owned some traditional Bose noise canceling headphones for years that I've used extensively for travel, mowing the lawn, etcetera. They're great! I was looking for something I could use every day, and because of my experience with the brand I purchased Bose QC Ultra Earbuds.
Starting with the unboxing - Bose did a nice job with packaging, but you'd expect that in this price range. The earbud charger case is a nice shape and size, but it lacks wireless charging. This is disappointing for these high-end earbuds. The next thing I tried was removing the earbuds from the case. This is where I began to get annoyed. Perhaps there’s a trick I’m not aware of but getting the earbuds out of the case is much more difficult than it should be!
The Earbuds themselves are very nice. After trying them for fit, I realized I needed to go to the larger Eartips and Stability Bands. Bose did a nice job in their manual stepping you through checking the fit and the replacement of these pieces. Once I replaced them, the earbuds are not falling out. This is especially important to me as these will mostly be used while riding my bicycle.
I had already loaded the app and the earbuds connected without any fiddling on my part which was nice. I put on some of my favorite tunes and began testing the different settings; Noise Cancellation, Immersive Audio and Listening Modes. All were impressive, and each will have a place depending on the situation. Very nice!
I realize this is a review of the earbuds, but the app is an important tool while using them. For example, there’s the ability to customize different combinations of the settings and setting them as favorites for quicker access. There’s also the ability to modify the default touch settings. I haven’t done this yet because I plan on living with the defaults for a while to see what might be lacking for me.
Generally the app and connection is rock solid, but there was an instance where the earbuds kept loosing connection. An uninstall and reinstall of the app seemed to cure this.
All in all I am happy with this purchase. Time will tell if the quality matches my original Bose headphones, but I am optomistic on that front. The only negatives I've found to date are the design of the case when extracting the earbuds, and the fact that the case doesn't include wireless charging.
Hope this helped!
