QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds offer all the same features as their predecessor, QuietComfort Earbuds II, plus breakthrough Bose Immersive Audio and the addition of Immersive Audio settings for Custom Modes. Other new features include Snapdragon Sound certification, using hi-res audio and low latency codec, Qualcomm aptX Adaptive, and Google Fast Pair. QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds also feature a new metallic finish on earbuds, as well as a new notch/key alignment feature for stability bands that makes them easier to swap in and out.

Immersive Audio allows you to hear audio as if it were coming from beyond your QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds, thereby allowing for a more spacious, natural listening experience. Your music and other audio will have a wide sound stage in front and to the sides, just as if you were listening to a pair of stereo speakers and seated at the sweet spot between them.

Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds utilize both passive and active noise reduction technologies. Passive noise reduction is similar to when you wear earplugs; there is a physical blockage preventing some of the sound from entering your ear. This is achieved through the earbud design with materials such as silicone eartips, and the acoustic seal created by having a proper fit. For active noise cancellation, your earbuds use sophisticated proprietary electronics with microphones both inside and outside the earbuds. The electronics system senses the sound in almost any environment and then measures, compares, and reacts — instant by instant — to produce an opposing cancellation signal.

The controls on the left and right earbud surfaces are the same, and they include:

• Swipe up or down for volume control

• Tap once to play or pause content

• Tap twice in quick succession to skip forward

• Tap three times in quick succession to skip back

• Press and hold the earbud surface to access a Shortcut. The default Shortcut function on both buds is to toggle back and forth between Quiet Mode (full noise cancelling) and Aware Mode (hear outside sound). You can add additional noise cancelling modes at sound levels between Quiet and Aware using the Bose Music app. The Shortcut on one or both earbuds can also be customized in the Bose Music app to access a mobile device’s built-in voice assistant

• Tap once to accept an incoming call

• Tap twice in quick succession to end a call, or decline an incoming call

Yes. The Single-bud Use feature allows you to take calls and listen to music using one bud. It will also seamlessly switch between your earbuds, and switches automatically if one of the earbuds runs out of battery or disconnects from Bluetooth®.

Yes. The Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds have passed IPX4 testing, which means they are protected against sweat and splashing water from any angle. The interior of the charging case is resistant to water or sweat that may remain on the buds when they are placed inside for charging; however, it is not recommended that the outside of the case be exposed to water.

You should take some time to experiment with different eartip and stability band sizes to arrive at a combination that suits you, providing a gentle seal and a comfortable, stable experience. Keep in mind that it’s common for left and right ears to vary slightly in shape, so sizes may not match from left to right. Also, eartip and stability band sizes may be mixed and matched (such as using a size small eartip with a #3 stability band). If you find that you need alternate sizes, extra small and extra-large eartips and stability bands are available through Bose Support.

There are two lights: an Earbud status light inside the case between the earbuds, and a Charging Case status light on the outside of the case. Earbud status light (inner):

• Slowly blinks blue – Ready to connect

• Solid blue (5 seconds) – Connected

• Blinks white 2 times – Device list cleared

• Solid white (5 seconds) – Earbuds are fully charged

• Solid amber (5 seconds) – Earbuds are charging

• Blinks white 2 times – Reboot complete

• Blinks white 3 times, repeated – Updating earbud software

• Blinks amber and white – Error, contact Bose customer service

Charging Case status light (outer):

• Solid white – Case is fully charged (100%) and plugged in

• Solid white (5 seconds) – Case is charged (34% to 99%)

• Solid amber (5 seconds) – Case has low charge, less than one full earbud charge remaining (10% to 33%)

• Blinks amber 2 times – Case needs to charge (Less than 10%)

• Solid amber – Case is charging

• Blinks white 3 times, repeated – Updating case software

• Blinks amber and white – Error, contact Bose customer service

Yes. Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds have an adaptive microphone system that allows you to use them during calls when connected to any smartphone. In addition to traditional calls, the earbuds work with many apps that use Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), such as Teams, Zoom, or FaceTime. The microphone system adapts to your environment to isolate your voice from competing background noises and wind. In addition, self-voice (adjustable in the Bose Music app settings) allows you to hear yourself naturally, as if you weren’t wearing earbuds at all, so you can monitor the volume of your voice and minimize the effects of speaking while wearing earbuds.

Snapdragon Sound refers to an audio and software processing infrastructure developed by Qualcomm, focusing on robust and low latency Bluetooth connectivity and leveraging the aptX Adaptive codec. AptX Adaptive will “adapt” the audio quality seamlessly and continuously based on the strength back to the source’s device to maintain a good wireless connection and avoid audio dropouts. This means that for a great wireless connection, you can get the highest possible audio quality up to and including “lossless” audio. The normal sampling rate applicable in your Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds is 44.1 kHz and will adapt up to 48.1 kHz when “high resolution” listening. The codec also has a low latency mode, aka “Gaming Mode.” Just as with audio quality, the codec will “adapt” to achieve the best (lowest) latency possible given the current wireless conditions.

Snapdragon Sound is applicable only to Android users with Snapdragon Sound Certified devices.

Google Fast Pair is a technology developed by Google to expedite the initial pairing process between source devices and headphones. Android users (OS 6.0 or newer) will enjoy the rapid setup Google Fast Pair has to offer by simply turning on their headphones and selecting the Google pair pop-up window on their Android device (Android device location services and Bluetooth must be set to “on”).

* Testing conducted by Bose in June 2023 using production-representative Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds and a variety of music tracks using A2DP Bluetooth audio streaming at RSSI signal strength of 75dBm. Volume set to playback loudness of 75dB, 3-band EQ set, to zero in Quiet Mode (full noise cancellation). With Immersive Audio off, playback time was up to 6 hours before battery depletion. With Immersive Audio on, playback time was up to 4 hours before battery depletion. Battery life varies based on settings and usage.

** Testing conducted by Bose in July 2023 by inserting production-representative Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds with battery depleted (to the point of no audio playback) into a fully charged Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds charging case and charging earbuds to 100%, then resuming audio playback until battery depletion. Testing resulted in three (3) complete charging cycles by the case before a full charge was no longer possible.

Ratings and Reviews

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Second to none Noise Canceling!!! I got the New Bose Quiet Confort Ultra Earbuds and I'm so Amazed with it !!! I jog every morning around where I live wearing my headphones, the neighborhood is still under construction, as soon as I switch to quiet mode it is incredible the level the isolation I get, everything turns like I'm in a middle of nowhere alone, with an absolutely silent which allow me to listen music without listening all the noise coming from the constructions trucks and machines around me...   I'm also a musician and I like to be able to listen a clear singers’ voice from the music, but additionally, I truly like to listen the musicians' instrumental performance from the band. In general, all the available audio modes on these earbuds allow me to listen those details, however, Immersive Audio get me a step beyond that, to the point to make me feel I'm in one of the best concert halls in the world, providing every single sound detail of the instruments played in the song and making me enjoy to fullest the songs I'm listening. Bose QC Ultra delivers immaculate balanced voicing and instrumental sounds.. These Earbuds are Absolutely Unbelievable, I Love them!!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Bose QC Ultra: Your Sound Oasis Alrighty, folks, today we're diving deep into the world of the Bose Quiet Comfort Ultra earbuds. Buckle up because I'm about to take you on a journey through all the nitty-gritty details that make these earbuds stand out from the crowd. Active Noise Cancellation (ANC): First things first, let's talk about the superstar feature - Active Noise Cancellation (ANC). I put these earbuds through some serious noise tests, including jet engine-level roars. The result? These bad boys blocked out an astonishing 65.2 decibels of outside noise. We're talking real-world scenarios, like flights and noisy spots, and these earbuds handled it with ease. If you've got a thing for peace and quiet, these are your jam. Wind Noise: Windy days? No problemo. These earbuds are like the Jedi knights of wind noise. They're designed to minimize wind interference, so even if it feels like you're in a wind tunnel, your audio stays crystal clear. Comfort: Comfort is key, right? Well, Bose gets it. They throw in three different ear tips and three wing tips, so you can make these earbuds your best friends, no matter your ear shape. Sound Quality: Alright, let's talk tunes. Bose cranks up the audio game with Snapdragon Sound certification and Qualcomm aptX Adaptive tech. The sound? Warm and inviting, with awesome soundstage with Immersion mode. Battery Life: Was able to make it through my workday at the office with ease, lasting more than the advertised 6hrs. Phone Calls: These earbuds are phone call champs. With their nifty microphones and have become my go to for all my calls wherever I go.
 Customization and Design: You can set up your own modes for running, working out, or just chilling. Plus, the touch controls are a breeze, like swiping up and down for volume with ease.
 Durability and Connectivity: These earbuds are tough cookies with an IPX4 rating, so they're all about that sweat-resistant life. Not a worry with my daily workout sessions. They're rocking Bluetooth 5.3 for better connections. They work independently too! Pros: We're talking about exceptional clarity, an immersion mode that's on point, music that feels like it's reaching new heights, microphones that make you sound crystal clear, bass that's fuller than your Thanksgiving plate, and pairing so quick it'll make your head spin. Cons: But hey, let's be real. No gadget is perfect. In immersion mode, voices can get a bit muffled, the microphone might pick up some background noise, and switching modes can be a tad slow. In a nutshell, Bose has cooked up something special with the Quiet Comfort Ultra. They're the kings of ANC, and they'll make your music sound sweeter than ever.
