"perfect anc for a shop"
"The best ANC, by far, is the Bose QC Ultra. Nothing else even comes close."
"Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds had the best ANC overall. ... On a plane, they blocked out engine noise almost completely, and even in noisy cafés, they handled voices really well."

"And they are really really good while working out too - the fit is super snug and they just don't fall off ever - whatever you do."
"Fit 10/10 ... I LOVE the fit. ... Bose’s fit & design"
"For some reason... Bose fits me perfectly"

"The fit, comfort, sound, and ANC are the best I've experienced. ... all the rest have markedly inferior ANC."
"Their ANC doesn't just work well, it also does a good job not distorting or altering the sound quality of the music playing (scores very highly on bench tests). ... Still I have no problem carrying on a conversation when the music is turned way down. ... Plus it has a nifty feature where if you take off one earbud, it pauses the music and activates full transparency mode regardless what ANC mode you were on. ... it can be set to 'aware' mode where the transparency mode is enabled and it automatically switches to quiet mode if there's a loud noise (like a motorcycle roaring past) - or simply full transparency if you don't like aware mode."
"The Bose Ultra ear buds are absolutely amazing. ... Most times when I wear them, I say-dang, that sounds really awesome-like other high end headphones."

"I have worn mine for four hours straight without any issue with comfort or battery life."
"Battery life is great, in regular use, I typically don't charge the case for the whole week (full time student, about ~4 hours of use per day)"
"Real life battery is ~5hrs with anc all the way up."

"Another feature I really love is their ability to detect when there are loud noises in transparency mode and automatically quiet them. ... this feature is invaluable to me when I'm at a social gathering and want the transparency to bring in people's voices but block out any sudden louder noises e.g. somebody suddenly shouting/laughing loudly."
"They have the best noise canceling/immersive mode my ears have ever experienced!"
"transparency mode is really good. feels like I don't have the bud in if i pause my video"

"they would constantly disconnect from my s23."
"Also connection with iPhone has always been terrible. ... Dropped connections, sometimes it just won ’t connect."
"their firmware is garbage, so garbage in fact that it makes them entirely unusable. ... they keep continuously crashing, refusing to connect, and crashing some more, having extremely loud noise in one earbud all of a sudden, all kinds of random bs. ... my 6th pair of quiet comfort ultra earbuds is again randomly crashing."

"I had the issue, replaced with 3 separate sets. Every pair had the same issue. Gave up and got a refund. Extremely poor design from Bose."

"O my i just tested these again during a number of calls and using different phones and wow they are awful!! ... but once it gets a little challenging these fall apart ... A complete fail sorry.. ... I'm getting barely any background noise cancellation with either set ... My voice comes through clear but the background is still there but maybe 30% of the volume. Tried with crowd noise at 65db"
"i get complaints about the mic whenever i try to take a call with them during workouts."
"The calling audio is hands down thee worst dollar store quality they have to offer!"

"Pretty comfy but come loose during workouts. ... When they come loose, they fall out."
"these are NOT gonna stay in your ears if you are aggressive in the gym"
"the sweat that drips down or if my hair falls and swipes the side it pauses it, turns volume up or down, continues skipping each song, or goes quiet, aware, immersion, quiet, aware, immersion forever."
