Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds are being praised for strong active noise cancellation, rich sound, and a secure, comfortable fit, with the charging case adding battery info and settings control. The Gen 1 Costco version is confirmed here, and it does not include wireless charging. The main cautions are connection quirks, especially with multipoint or the Bose app, plus reports of a left earbud static buzz, occasional charging or call issues, and a few fit or durability complaints. A solid pick if top tier noise blocking matters more than extra features.
Common Questions (5)
Connection problems can happen, especially with multipoint or when pairing to both a Windows laptop and an iPhone. Turning multipoint off or using a single Bluetooth connection can make them solid, and uninstalling the Bose app has also fixed connection issues for some setups.
The ANC is described as top notch and among the best available, with strong isolation for music and aircraft use. The earbuds are designed to block outside sound rather than let surroundings through.
This Costco deal is for Gen 1, not Gen 2. Several comments also note that Gen 1 and Gen 2 sound very similar, so the main difference here is the generation and included features rather than a major audio upgrade.
No wireless charging is included on this Gen 1 Costco set. The charging case instead has a screen that shows battery life and lets you change settings.
They do have a microphone for calls, but call quality can be poor enough that other people may not hear you well. That makes them less reliable for voice calls than for music and noise cancellation.

How they will break: the adhesive holding the headphones together comes off and/or the sound in one of the ears goes out.

However you're getting these from Costco with their return policy.

no issues with first two. One Ultra gen 1 did stop charging (something wrong with the case) within a year and was replaced by Bose under warranty.
Ultra 1 seems confused between connecting to windows laptop or iPhone and drops. But if I only have it pair with iPhone works fine. Noise cancellation is great on aircraft.
Those are on sale for $150 at Woot right now. I have the over-ear versions from Sony and they're amazing, so leaning towards keeping it in the family for the earbuds. But don't want to spend the same for worse!

Item 4449979 | Model 888507-0500 list for $179.99 on sale for $149.99 which is better?

The Bose was more comfortable feel wise, but for some reason they would get pretty hot when noise cancelling was on which meant I could only wear them for an hour or so. Ultimately I went with the XM5s.
