Love them. But they are expensive. Was going to buy them but I will wait to see if they do an upgrade with better ones for the price. I sure will purchase. ๐
I thought the same before I bought them. But I can assure you itโs worth the money. I donโt regret it. Best earbuds on the market.
Save yourself $150 and buy AirPods Pro lol.
So I had always been a fan of Bose products. I’ve sold systems back in the 90’s and later bought a home theater system made by Bose. They WERE a great company. In 2021 I bought a premium Bose sound bar and a subwoofer module. I had a few issues, but nothing I couldn’t figure out. Not much later I bought the Bose QC ear buds. They were $299.99 at the time. I wanted them so I could listen the TV in the evening without disturbing my Wife. I had nothing but problems as they were always trying to connect to my phone to the point I ended up turning off the blutooth on my phone. They would lose connection consently, sometimes right in the middle of using them. At about one year they died completely and this was after only about a dozen times using them because of the frustration of trying to get them to work. After calling Bose and doing some trouble shooting, they finally replaced them. They had all the same problems. They have died once again. This time when I called, they said "They are out of warrentee". But it was my lucky day because they offered to upgrade me to the new Bose Quite Comfort Ultra’s for only $195! I did a quick check of these online and found pages of buyers having all kinds of problems. Having many issues most of which ended up having to return them (UP TO 5 TIMES). Bose told me they have resolved these issues long ago. I said really? The last several posts I’ve seen are only 17 days old? So they lied right to my face. Bose was a quality brand that I trusted, but now they are just selling garbage they are hoping makes it past warrentee. I wanted to give a heads up before any of you waste your time & money.
I was all in until the price and Bluetooth pairing came up…
Sorry Bose, it’s a hard pass for me ๐ซค
Video = A+ however ๐๐ป
Overpriced
I don’t trust this holding rubbers otherwise the sounds quality is the best
Bose isn’t changing any games. They’re bleeding out.
4:34 immediate fan of the girl shadow boxing
The price tag is WAY too much
Guys you are joke! Shame on you! Call quality is awful I returned my because of that! If I could achieve phone call quality as you fake it i will keep them! Thousand people are not happy with phone calls quality!! Nose pay you to lie for them?!
Found a way for big bass with these little guys , just hook the barrel part on your ear tragus and fit speaker in ear canal. Best when youโre in a stationary position and theyโre still comfortable like that, Well for me at least.๐
Pass
i think this could be the future, but $300? Nehhh we moving backwards
Reminds me of those cool ear โcuffsโ characters used on the Fringe tv series as cell phones.
The bose ultra earbuds don’t let you disable touch controls, even if u disable them from bose app. Even while chewing food , these would pause ur music , these r probably the most stupid earbuds and buggiest earbuds ever and not worth 10 dollars
That’s so cool I got one pair and I love it but the price lil too high for that
Regular earbuds don’t stay in my big ears. I’m totally interested โค
I love Bose, but this looks ridiculousโฆ.looks like a giant pair of earrings.
IM saving for mine now, hopefully i can get myself for xmas
Well, for me, it sounds like it kinda defeats the purpose of having earbuds. If you like those where you can hear the music but sounds like its Far Away sound but hear the conversations with other people than you might as well just get a speaker. Put it in the kitchen and you can sit in the living room. That’s the effect that I’m hearing everybody have.
it won’t hold up over time
i like that the design looks more like fashionable earrings rather than hearing aids which are often seen with bulky round earbuds
pinching the ear like that is going to cause pain after a while kinda of like a magnetic earring does.
Lol, whats hilarious to me is that some are trippin on the $300……in these days and times, thats really no money at all,,๐คท
I tried the Bose ultra and soundcore C30i. Returned the Bose because of the call quality. Soundcore has a better call quality and out of the box has multipoint connection. Bose overall sound quality is a 5 where the soundcore comes in at 4.5. The price of $300 vs $70 for the soundcore is the game changer.
how many devices can it store?
I use bose headphones almost everyday. I make more than enough money to where i never had to complain about these costing a lot. They Great.
these people been paid to give positive reviews WAKE UP lol
Why???
Thank you for trying them in the subway!!!!!!
If you like good caling quality then do not buy! As for the rest it is a good product with good servic but the volume of the partner your calling is bad! I recieved another product and did the update.
Nobody is talking about it! It is not worth the 350 euro!
Bro with 300 you can get better over the ear headphones they lost me in the price.
Donโt buy it
Noise canceling?
Comfort is the main selling point of this. If you prioritize comfort, this is it. I find it perfect for office environment, with all day comfort. Far more comfortable than any other design in the market now.
I have a Bose speaker that I love so I thought why not get these earbuds. So far I love them. I was dancing to music at home and they didn’t fall out and didn’t hurt my ears. The sound is really good and has good bass unlike Beats. They are so worth the price.
There are from the parallel universe in Fringe tv series !

They’re terrible… I bought a pair, the worked OK the first time I used them, then the right bud wouldn’t charge. Then I wasted almost 2 hours chatting with Bose customer service with no satisfactory outcome. Avoid Bose products.
I was gifted a pair on Mother’s Day. Personally, I love them. They are so comfortable and don’t cause any ear discomfort, pain or itching. I can keep them on for much longer period of time.
Not good enough to drown out Ariana Grande in a gym.
I would be interested in another year. Don’t need the latest model.
The anti-noise cancelling earbuds
Mic is garbage on these . Why is no one saying this.
I love the sound on these but I am constantly being told by people Iโm talking to on the phone that they canโt hear me. Talked to Bose, they switched them out and second pair are the same.
Not even worth 20 bucks
Never go broke over earbuds That’s just stupid And never go broke over a Mercedes That’s just dumb
This is a terrible product. Customer support is dismal. I regret purchasing this.
It is for a small market but i still like that bose is making in ears for different purposes.
