Title: Is it worth $300?
Review: For the last 3 months, I wanted to find a pair of wireless earbuds that were, at the very least, comfortable.My previous pair of wireless earbuds, Sony's WFSP800N were, by far, the most comfortable wireless earbuds I have ever experienced. That being said, they're going on four years old. They disconnected randomly from my phone, they often remained on when I put them in their charging case, and on a few occasions, just my sweat would be enough to trigger the touch sensors and either skip or pause whatever song I was listening to.So, I set out to try just about every major brand that *wasn't* Sony this time around.I tried the top of the line in the $200 price range from Jabra, Beats, and Sennheiser.Jabra was by far the one I wanted to succeed the most. I picked up the Jabra Elite 8. The sound was good. Noise cancelling was automatic and easy to cycle. And the fact that the materials were military grade and built to withstand just about anything really sold me. Unfortunately, prolonged wear hurt my right ear. I returned them a few days later and tried the Beats Fit Pro. I thought that the wings would provide stabilization and comfort. I was wrong. I didn't even get a chance to really try them out. My ears were in agonizing pain due to the rigidity of the wings. I returned them the same day I bought them. I had high hopes for Sennheiser, and though they sounded amazing, they hurt in the same way that Jabra did.Cue Bose to come in. The thing that set them apart from the competition were the comfort wings. They come in three different sizes. I tried using the medium wings first, but prolonged use still caused pain in just my right ear, even though my left was fine. The small wings though fit perfectly in both, and have not created any issues of discomfort or pain. They're actually on par comfort wise with the Sony earbuds I got almost 4 years ago.Now, the sound was night and day to anything I have ever tried before. The sheer depth of everything was immaculate, and with the app you can adjust the different tones accordingly. But the features that won out was the noise cancelling "quiet" mode, the sound heightening "immersion" mode, and the all around "aware" mode.These are the best noise cancelling earbuds I have ever experienced with the quiet mode. The immersion mode let's you listen to music in all levels around you as if you're sitting in the middle of an orchestra. The aware mode transfers sound from the outside to you as if you aren't wearing headphones at all.All three modes are miles above the other competing products I have bought. But the Aware mode is absolutely amazing as any other version of this sounds Tinny or Electronic. This was the first time I have ever forgotten I was even wearing headphones. The music may not have been playing, but the background noise was so clear that I just didn't need to take the headphones out and put them away. This actually made it easy to listen to music at a low volume and still be able to keep up with concentrating on conversations or work place activities and lectures.The case uses the USB C charging cable, and you get a full charge if it's completely dead in about 2 hours. That being said, I probably get about 6 to 8 hours with consecutive use of the earbuds on a single charge. With the charging case, I can probably go 20 to 25 hours without needing to recharge. But what I love is that not only will the earbuds audibly tell you when they are low after they've been sitting in the case, the case itself has a light indicator to tell you when the charging battery is drained.Overall, is this worth $300? Considering it blew every other $200 competitor, including my original earbuds out of the water (which I paid $250 for when they were released near 4 years ago), I would say that TO ME, they are worth the money. I'm not comparing them to current Sonys on the market, nor have I ever tried the Quiet Comfort 2s. If you feel that it isn't big enough of a jump, then cool. But to me, comparing them to all of the earbuds that caused me pain, I do feel like this is a case of "Getting Your Money's Worth."I sincerely like these, and I am happy I spent the money for the sake of impressive comfort and impressive sound quality.11/14/2023

Title: Bose Quiet Comfort Ultra earbuds
Review: The sound, the fit / comfort, and the ease of setting it up (app on iPhone 15 Pro) are the three features that set thes earbuds above the competition.After you unbox and charge the buds, you put them in your ear. The Bose app immediately determines if the fit is proper - it was. I donât need to change anything. The buds fit snugly but comfortably. Unlike the iPods Pro 2, they donât fall out or become loose - this is a major plus.Itâs over 90 outside, so my AC is on. When I tried the 3 listening modes and turned up the noise reduction - silence. I couldnât hear my AC, not even faintly.I sampled the virtuoso piano playing oh Yuja Wang, The bass was very pronounced - didnât sound right. I found the equalizer adjustments: bass -10, mid +5, and treble +10. Voila! Very easy to adjust to your preference. Orchestral pieces: +6, +7, +8 â¦YMMV.These are the best earbuds ever. Small and compact; well designed, and durable. Highly recommended.Are they perfection? No. The case should have come with wireless charging - the iPods Pro 2 have this feature. These bud work on one device at a time - multiple devices would have been nice. And lastly, the batteries last 4 hours - 6 or 8 hours to cover longer flights? Bose add these to your improvements list; one or more can be accomplished with firmware? These are not deal breakers, but a bit more than nice to have.

Title: Very Dissapointed
Review: I was forced to buy new earbuds becuase I accidentally left my old BOSE QC earbuds in my pants pocket and washed them. They would eventually power up but would not connect etc. so I opted for the new BOSE Ultra QC earbuds. But, the only thing ultra about these earbuds is that the sound quality is slightly better the the regular QC's and for me is the only Pro in my evaluation.I'll preface this with I use my earbuds on multiple devices. iPhone, iPad and laptop.Let's start with what I hate about the case.1. Its smaller then the regular QC's which is good for slipping them in your pocket. What I miss in this case is the indicator lights that show you the battery level of the case. The ultra case does not have this and haveing it is very helpful to me.2. With the regualer QC case you can also toggle between devices with the small button inside the case. Although the ultra case has this button on the back, its pretty much useless and barely has any functions. Its almost wasted effort in designn and manfacturing for BOSE.2.a With the button on the regular case you can press it once to see what device it is connected to. very simple and very useful. The ultra case does not do this. You have to open the BOSE app on your device to see where its connected AND you have to use the app to change devices. This may be my biggest issue. Its musch easier to just toggle the button on the case while the buds are in your ears to change evices. I don't want to have to get my phone out, open the app, wait for the app to connect , touch the earbud icon to see my choices and select what device I want. I simply want to toggle the button on the case.3. Trying to withdraw the earbuds from the case is not easy. The only way I can get them out of the case is by tugging on the rubber ear piece. I'm sure over time they will tear apart. This seems to not been thought through by the designers.Now lets go with the earbuds.1. They are small and I guess that's ok not much of an issue here except for the earpice options. While I have to use the largest option from the choice of 3; even the largest option isn't really big enough. It fits ok but not great. My regular QC's biggest option is larger and fits really good. I'm not sure why they didn't retain the same sizing options for the ultra.2. While using, you have to luanch the app to see the battery life. With the regular QC's you simply touch the left bud to hear the battery level. Again, very simple and useful.2.a Lets talk about battery life. While initially I just used my new ultras for conference calls and listening to videos while connected to my laptop and it all seemed good. Then one day, with a full charge, I went for a walk that lasted just over an hour. With about 10 minutes left on the walk I started getting low battery responses. I'm like, no way. I can't have this. I normally have several conference calls that last over an hour and I can't have these dying in the middle of a call. I also travel a lot by air and often have flights over 2 hours. So reason #1 why I returned them.3. The sound quality is very comprable for both and while the ultra may be slightly better but not worth the extra $$. I'm a sound nut and not opposed to spending extra doe for better quality but not here. Especially with the other issues I have for this version.All in all, I'm very dissapointed in BOSE's effort with the Ultra's. I have a lot of bose items and this is the first time I've been dissapointed in their products. So much so I sent the ultras back and purchased the regular QC noise cancelling earbuds like I had before. Now I'm happy again.

Review: Itâs pretty cool if you have a fan going and then put these in your ears. Fan noise completely disappears. One thing to note for comfort is try the different ear tip sizes. I thought I would want the biggest size, but it turns out the smallest were the most comfortable.

Review: Comprei com desconfiança, mas o produto apresenta caracterÃsticas do oficial, pois verifiquei junto ao site da bose pelo canal de contratipos, enviando fotos, videos, serial number e recebi a resposta que se trata de um produto oficial. Consegui registrar o mesmo na minha conta bose e fica aparecendo que o produto está com o perÃodo de garantia em vigência. Assisti diversos umboxing e todos os elementos que identifiquei estavam presentes na embalagem. As funcionalidades do app funcionam perfeitamente. Diante disso, entendi que se trata realmente de um produto original e recomendo a compra. Lembrando que o defeito de um leve chiado no fone esquerdo ainda permanece, mas somente incomoda se não tiver tocando nenhum audio.

Review: Curiosamente termine comprando estos audÃfonos Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds después de devolver unos audÃfonos Sony WF-1000XM5.¿Qué hicieron mejor que los Sony? En cuanto a caracterÃsticas, la aplicación de celular, sonido y ANC no les falta nada a los dos. Los dos son de alta gama y se nota. Pero en mi caso los Sony fueron muy incómodos. Para que el ANC en el modelo WF-100XM5 funcione correctamente es necesario que las "gomitas" de un material tipo "memory foam" hagan vacÃo en tus oÃdos. Y la única forma en la que lo conseguà (según la misma aplicación de los audÃfonos) fue usando las gomas grandes (L) y eran muy incómodas.El modelo de Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds (que al momento de escribir esto) es más caro. Es muchÃsimo más cómodo. Porque su ANC no tiene el requerimiento de "vacÃo en el oÃdo" de los Sony. Además ajustan diferente a los Sony. No solo tienen la gomita (de plástico, no es memory foam) que se mete en el oÃdo, además traen un "ganchito" que ajusta en la oreja para que los audÃfonos no se muevan. Y cada que los colocas en los oÃdos hacen un sonido (tipo orquesta) para asegurarse de hacer bien el ANC.He leÃdo otras reseñas que se quejan de que el sonido (calidad de audio, para los audiófilos) no es nada del otro mundo, tomando en cuenta que son marca Bose. Y estoy de acuerdo. No es nada del otro mundo y estoy seguro que otros modelos Bose tienen mejor calificación en este aspecto. Pero la música suena muy bien, sobretodo si activas el modo "Inmersión" (que por defecto, pone al máximo el ANC).El ANC es excelente. Los uso en la oficina y estoy a unos metros de la cafetera donde la gente se junta a platicar y moler el café (es la definición de ruido) con el ANC no escucho nada de ruido ambiental, solo mi música.En verdad son unos excelente audÃfonos. Y los recomiendo mucho.
