Sound performance — personalized, balanced, and spacious
Cinema Mode — a new benchmark for earbuds
Most earbuds can deliver great audio, but few make movies or shows sound this immersive. Cinema Mode, powered by Bose TrueSpatial processing, transforms regular stereo into a three-dimensional space. It works with any video app, no special formats required. Dialogue stays clear and centered, while background effects stretch naturally around it. The result feels like sitting closer to the action, even while listening through earbuds.
It’s a feature that fits modern habits like watching on flights, streaming on tablets, or catching a show before bed. Cinema Mode highlights how Bose extends spatial accuracy beyond music, bringing theater-like depth to everyday viewing and listening.

Noise control — adaptive quiet that outsmarts distractions
Noise cancellation is one of the clearest ways to differentiate earbuds. Many models use preset modes that can feel uneven as environments change. Bose designed ActiveSense adaptive noise cancellation to respond in real time. It constantly measures your surroundings and adjusts smoothly, keeping the sound steady without the “pressure” effect some listeners feel.
In Quiet Mode, background noise fades and music comes through with focus. Switch to Aware Mode, and the earbuds let in your environment naturally, perfect for conversations or commutes. You stay aware without losing balance or detail.
Fit and stability — engineered for comfort, style, and consistent sound
Comfort starts with how in-ear earbuds sit the moment you put them in. The QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds (2nd Gen) use soft materials that rest easily in the ear, preventing pressure buildup while preserving tonal balance. They’re available in colorways like Midnight Violet, Deep Plum, Desert Gold, White Smoke, or Black, giving you options that feel polished enough for everyday wear and expressive enough to match your personal style.
With three sizes of eartips and stability bands, you can mix and match to find the combination that feels right for you with the Bose Fit Kit. That seal is what keeps CustomTune and ActiveSense performing consistently, holding the acoustic space around your ear in place so your sound stays balanced from track to track.
When the fit doesn’t shift, the tuning doesn’t either. With an IPX4 water resistance rating, they handle light rain or workouts easily, maintaining performance across every setting. Bose treats comfort as part of acoustic precision, ensuring what you hear stays as intended from the first note to the last.
Everyday use — effortless switching between devices and crisp call quality
Good earbuds should work with your routine. The QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds (2nd Gen) can switch seamlessly between up to two devices with Bluetooth® multipoint connectivity, so you can shift from a laptop meeting to a phone call without manual pairing.
Calls sound clear thanks to sophisticated microphone systems and digital signal processing, which filters background noise and isolates your voice for sharper transmission. It’s especially noticeable outdoors or in busy spaces, where many earbuds struggle to hold clarity. Touch controls respond quickly, and the Bose app makes adjustments to EQ or ANC simple. The goal is a sound that adapts smoothly, without adding steps or distractions to your day.
