Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds review: Spatial audio makes all the difference

Most earbud and headphone makers are starting to skip the annual update cycle. Sure, many of them release a new model regularly, but in terms of overhauling a previous product, the timelines are typically more extended. Bose has made an exception,...

Stellar ANC Spatial audio doesn’t require special content Upgrades with no price increase

Earbuds are still big Immersive Audio significantly impacts battery life Wireless charging costs extra

The QuietComfort Earbuds II were already the best true wireless model Bose had ever built, mostly due to their superior active noise cancellation. Add spatial audio that doesn’t require you to jump through any extra hoops to use and the QC Ultra...

Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds Review: Slightly Better Than Last Year's Model

Not many people expected Bose to release a new set of $299 flagship noise-canceling earbuds only a year after launching its excellent QuietComfort Earbuds 2, which we awarded a CNET Editors' Choice. But that's what it's done with the new-for-2023...

Excellent sound and best-in-class noise canceling Fit Kit ear tips and stabilizer system gets you a secure, comfortable fit Immersive Audio creates a different listening experience Slightly improved voice-calling

No wireless charging or multipoint Bluetooth Immersive Audio mode hurts battery life

Like I said in the intro, the QC Ultra Earbuds aren't a major upgrade over the QC Earbuds 2, so if you already own the QC Earbuds 2, I wouldn't bother upgrading. That said, the QC Ultra Earbuds are definitely a little better -- I'd say about 15%...

Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds Review

The $299 Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds improve upon 2022's excellent QuietComfort Earbuds II in a number of different ways. They offer the same class-leading active noise cancellation (ANC) and bass-tuned audio drivers while adding support for...

Best-in-class noise cancellation Crisp, full-bodied audio Active Aware feature blends noise cancellation and transparency modes Spatial audio support with head tracking Good Bluetooth codec support

Case doesn’t support wireless charging No multipoint connectivity

The Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds offer the best in-ear noise cancellation you can get, with more immersive audio features and better Bluetooth codec support than their predecessors.

Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds

Bose takes a happy song and makes it better, using a healthy dose of immersive audio.

Bose’s immersive audio processing works on any and all content ; Industry-leading active noise cancellation ; Comfortable and secure fit ; Automatic customized sound optimization

Mediocre battery life when immersive audio is engaged ; Wireless case charging costs extra ; Immersive audio sometimes buries good stuff ; Active noise cancellation cannot be turned off

Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds bring sonic immersion and engagement to an already solid in-ear audio foundation.

I swapped my favorite $300 Bose earbuds for a $50 pair. Here's how the two compared

The Bose Ultra Open are my go-to running earbuds, but the JLab Flex claim to deliver similar features for much cheaper. Here's how to decide which pair is best for you.

The best noise-canceling earbuds I've ever tried aren't made by Apple or Sony

The Bose QuietComfort Ultra earbuds deliver some of the best noise cancellation you can get.

It's clear to me that Bose made noise-canceling and sound quality a priority with the new Bose QuietComfort Ultra earbuds . For a pair of earbuds, the sound quality is top-notch, and the noise-canceling easily shields me from the loudness of car horns,...

Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds Review: Flawed Perfection

I've reviewed the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds, a $300 pair of active noise-canceling wireless headphones. Read my full, honest review.

Excellent active noise cancellation ; Interesting 360° immersive sound ; Solid battery life and fast charging speed ; Adaptive aptX codec ; IPX4 ; Useful application

Large design ; Overpriced ; No multi-touch capability ; No wireless charging support

Do I recommend the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds for $300? Absolutely not! They don't offer enough improvements over last year's Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II. It has the same audio quality, the same active noise cancellation, and the same battery...

The Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds, meantime, feature the same Immersive Audio technology, along with noise-cancellation and improved voice pickup. As with the previous QuietComfort II model, the earbuds are incredibly well, comfortable, to wear, with...

The QC Ultra Earbuds are sweat-proof and have an IPX4 rating for splash-resistance. We’re excited to make these our new go-to buds for workouts and runs, though we don’t recommend taking them in the water as they’re not fully waterproof. Battery life...

Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds review: The new standard for noise cancelation

The Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds have the best active noise cancelation performance and strong immersive audio tech. That said, the buds skip out on some features you'd expect to come with the pric

So why did Bose again hold out on wireless charging and support for multi-point Bluetooth pairing? It’s a bit baffling, to be honest. I wouldn’t say it’s a complete deal breaker, especially if active noise cancelation and audio quality matter to you...
