Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds review: ANC in-ears don't get better than this

The Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds offer one of the best sounding packages on the market

Top notch sound ; Incredible comfort ; Great app with powerful EQ ; Incredible noise cancellation ; Aware mode is fantastic

They look strange ; Case is larger than some ; 2 hour case recharge

Put simply – if you're in the market for one of the best sounding pairs of earbuds, these sit in scarce company. They are some of the very best, complete with a top notch app with a really usable range of adjustment on offer. You'll even find...

Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds review: sound that surrounds

Third-gen 'buds deliver seriously impressive sound thanks to Immersive Audio - but are the QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds enough of an upgrade?

Top-notch noise cancellation ; Big, detailed and engaging sound ; Impressive spatial technology

Average battery life ; Pricier than closest rivals

A top-notch pair of in-ears that takes audio experiences to the next level while still delivering that industry-leading ANC. Are they worthy of an upgrade over their predecessors though? Probably not.

Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds review: This is how you do spatial audio

Bose might not have changed much on the new QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds, but what it did change makes all the difference.

Very comfortable Excellent sound quality Top-notch noise canceling Hi-res and lossless audio Excellent spatial audio

No wireless charging No Bluetooth Multipoint Outdoor call quality could be better

“if you’re keen to try spatial audio, the QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds are a great companion.”

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.

Emotional EQ: The New Bose Headphones and Earbuds Are Designed to Make You ‘Feel’

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...
