Correct, you get no noise cancelling. Not an opinion - simply a fact.

These are amazing for using when hearing background noise is a benefit, or even talking on the phone. Something about talking into noise cancelling headphones breaks my brain a little bit.

Community Reviews

This Bose bundle pairs the QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds, second generation, with a free refurbished pair of Ultra Open Earbuds, making it appealing if you want both in ear noise cancelling and open ear awareness. The open ear pair is praised for comfort, all day wear, workouts, calls, and staying aware of surroundings, while the in ear model is better suited for travel. Caveats include no noise cancelling on the open ear buds, reported sensor quirks on older Bose earbuds, and occasional Bluetooth or app connection bugs. Extra savings may come from My Bose or Amex offers.

  • The open-ear Ultra Open earbuds provide no noise cancelling, which can be beneficial for staying aware during workouts and calls.

  • An Amex offer can add extra savings on top of the deal, including an example of earning $50 back after spending $250.

  • The open-ear design can be easy to wear all day and may help users remain present while hearing surroundings.

  • A My Bose loyalty signup can provide a 10% off coupon that works with this promotion.

  • The open-ear style may not deliver the same noise cancelling performance as in-ear earbuds.

    GreyShoe978

  • Older Bose earbuds reportedly can trigger sensor problems that stop music or end calls when adjusting ear pieces or covering ears.

    RichardAlpha

  • Bose earbuds reportedly can disconnect from a phone and fail to reconnect through the app, with no reset fix and repeated connection attempts needed.

    silcam

  • The deal price may not feel exceptional because new Ultra Gen 2 earbuds were reportedly $249 during the prior month.

A few times a year bose earbuds will disconnect from your phone and refuse to connect. There is no resetting them to get them to connect back up. They can connect via Bluetooth, but the app just won't connect to them. Then on about the 10th try they will connect again.

It's really distracting when you use the earbuds to focus. Been an issue since I bought mine 2-3 years ago, and according to Copilot they've tried and failed to fix it, so keep in mind they have some bugs that they can't work out.

Just sharing my experience. Happened when using them on two different phones.

I can't tell the difference because I don't use earbuds a lot. When I was a kid we all had to buy the best music set up we could afford and to tell the truth, unless they are set up side by side and test em, I can't feel that much difference. not enough to justify spending hundreds more. I have a $22 pair of no name buds and I like em. If I compared I'd prob like the high cost ones, but I don't care enough about it.

I agree, maybe our ears are different. I got the open box Apple Airpods Pro 2 for $70ish few weeks, so I'm good on the earbuds side

Solid deal. Thinking about keeping the QC Ultras for travel and using the Open ones for the gym. Thanks for sharing, OP

I've heard a lot of issues similar to this, that's why I'm quite hesitant on upgrading my old Bose earbuds to these.
