Bose QuietComfort Ultra earbuds stand out for strong noise cancellation and immersive sound, with the first gen model still drawing praise for travel and mixed-device use. The app multipoint setup can work well across iPhone, Samsung, Android, and even a company phone, and refurbished units have arrived in like new condition with everything included. Bass runs heavy out of the box and may need EQ adjustment. Connectivity has also been reported as unreliable for some phones, so they fit best when noise cancelling matters more than flawless pairing.

  • The earbuds can support Multipoint so iPhone and Samsung can stay connected simultaneously without connection issues.

  • Refurbished-by-Bose units sold through Woot can arrive in as-new condition with all items included in the box.

  • Noise cancellation can be strong and can outperform Sony XM5 earbuds in ANC performance for some listeners.

  • The earbuds can work well across iPhone and Samsung S25 Ultra devices.

  • Connectivity can be poor with iPhones and can also be problematic on Android due to software issues.

  • Sound can become muddy with bass-heavy V-shaped tuning, and heavy bass may require EQ adjustments to sound more neutral.

  • Charging can stop after about a year on a refurbished eBay pair, and warranty handling may result in a check instead of replacement.

  • The earbuds can have connection, disconnection, and syncing problems that lead to advice against purchasing.

I have the QC II's, the model before these, and I use them all the time. Noise cancelling is good but not as effective on a plane compared to the over the hear Bose headphones. Still take these instead since they take up much less space. They can be noisy in the wind.
2nd gen is 250 thru Bose now.

This pains me to say, but the airpods are better, if not the best earpods on the market.
I don't doubt this....but i'm an Android user so this makes more sense for me. I was asking an audiophile I trust, who owns many headphones and earbuds as I do, about his impressions of the sound of the APP3 vs the APP2. Word is that they new APP3 sound is more V-Curved in terms of EQ. Some prefer the prior version, which hued closer to neutral. I have heard the APP2 and thought it was quite good.

What makes Bose think they can sell these for msrp 299 when there's so many better alternatives, certainly can't compete with Apple's AirPods

I have these and they are having a lot of issues. From connection problems to disconnecting problems to syncing problems.. I wouldn't waste money on this.

I bought these and sent them back after a day. One side would drop connection to the phone every so often, the phone app wouldn't connect to them reliably, they would distort occasionally, etc... Good ANC, but bad almost all the way around. Amazon reviews, the bad ones, back me up on this. Don't waste your time or money.

Connectivity also sucks for Android, damn Bose good sound engineers, lame software engineers
I have the Bose QC Ultra (2nd edition), and it works great with my Galaxy S25 and Samsung S7+ tab. Also, if you're having a problem, try their app if you haven't already—it might help.
OR It could be something Bose might have improved significantly in 2nd Edition.. 🤔

Only 6 hrs of battery life? That kills the deal for me.
