Bose has always been the unexpected cool kid on the audio block. They don't have the most dazzling designs or earth-shattering bass but they do have some of the most balanced sounding audio equipment on the market. With their newest QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds, does this still ring true? I recently received a pair of the new Bose QC Ultra earbuds to try out over a few weeks here in my home. I’ll share what they’re like in terms of fit and comfort, how they sound, what the noise cancellation is like and if overall I think I can recommend them to you.

What you get
Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds are rechargeable wireless earbuds that come with a charging and storage case plus a custom Fitkit to help you find a truly comfortable fit. With ANC or Active Noise Cancelling, plus aware mode, they offer customization for how you want to listen. They have touch controls on the buds or you can access more features with the Bose Music app.
Fit and feel
One of the first things I noticed about the Bose Ultra is their size; these are not what you’d call small or discrete earbuds. The large size of the buds is going to be a turnoff for some, but getting a good fit, should help them feel less ginormous.

The FitKit is a clever combo of silicone tips and stability bands of different sizes that can help the buds feel more comfortable. This should mean no ear fatigue even after binge-listening to your favorite podcast all day.
I found the ear tips that came on the buds were a bit big for my ears, so I sized down a set, and immediately felt a lot more comfortable.
The Ultra buds are long and wide and do protrude out from your ear by quite a bit, so if you like to sleep in your buds, these aren’t going to be comfortable if you roll on your side.
Even so, the buds feel secure in my ear despite their size.

Bose Music App
To get the most from your buds, you’ll want to dowenload the Bose Music app. In here you can pair your buds and adjust all their settings and change preferences
ANC & Aware Mode
One of the most raved-about features of the Bose QC Ultra Earbuds is its ultra-quiet ANC (Active Noise Cancelling) that Bose claims is on par with the best earbuds on the market. Whether you're trying to drown out the thrum of airplane engines or escape from your neighbor's drum practice, these earbuds should let you retreat into your own little world of music, podcasts, or just blissful silence.
Remember the time when you had to crank up your earbuds to maximum volume just to hear over the noise? Kiss this problem goodbye (and say hello to longer, happier eardrum lifespan!).
ANC works by digitally listening for sound around you and then canceling it out with another digital sound that you can’t really hear.
The ANC in these headphones is outstanding. You can definitely block oit most sound if you’re trying to work or focus and I’d say these get a 9/10 on ANC ability.
Aware Mode - flip side of ANC
On the flip side of ANC is Aware Mode where you can allow sound to come into your ears, handy if you’re listening for a delivery or a flight. Similarly this works extremely well
The thing I will point out about both ANC and Aware Mode are not adjustable; you’re getting either full ANC or full aware with no stops in between. At the price point these buds are at I would like some more customization of this setting, which you can find on competitor Jabra’s Elite 8 Active and Elite 10.
