Color: Desert Gold
I wrestled with purchasing these Bose earbuds as many of the social media reviewers gave unsatisfactory reviews in my opinion. I have tried all the competitors earbuds; at least the Crown Jewels of that particular company. As these reviews are subjective I will save you the hassle. I have several Bose products and find them very, very good. Although I wouldn’t say that I’m a Bose fanboy. I have several Sony products, I have several Apple products, Technics, JBL, and many other “brands” and find them useful and usually fairly good. As for these ear buds, it may be helpful to consider what you expect to use them for and what your expectations are. At the time of purchase, these were excellent value for money as they were cheaper than the major competitors at this “premium” level. The noise canceling is superior to Apple and Sony IMO. I was 5ft from a barking husky and could barely hear it. 5 star. As for comfort, I have worn these for various times during the day, during walks, around the house and for taking calls. My ears never have hurt or get “sore” after long use (more than 5 hours). I realize that this is subjective, but I have smaller ear holes and the ear tips are soft and associated supports that go around the driver fit my ear very well and provide lasting light comfort. These earbuds are not overly heavy at all. I have an Apple iPhone, and have found connectivity to be very little problem at all. It connects without issue and plays all my apps very seamlessly, Spotify, YouTube, Audible phone calls all the rest no issues whatsoever. I have not tested water resistance in that sense however walking in the rain no issues, with sweat doesn’t seem to be any issue. I’m anal about keeping them clean and I would encourage you to do the same. They seem durable and not flimsy or cheap. Finally, we get to the most important part for me at least and that is the quality of the sound coming through them for music. I am not an audiophile, at least not in the sense that I think about other sounds snobbery, but I do love my music and I know what it should sound like if you like the U curve or the typical rock curve you will love these earbuds. The base is rich, but not distorted, the mids are very good, and the highest trebles are not hissy, but crisp. Equalizer in the app only has three settings, but I still think it’s useful and helpful. However, you’ll have to use other settings if you have an iPhone to get it dialed in to your liking. Fortunately, I was able to do that to get better volume and better control in concert with Apple iPhone settings turning off Spotify equalizer and sticking to the Bose app for controlling the quality of the sound and it did work well. iPhone has a setting in which it limits the volume, adjust that setting and your volume will increase by I would say 20% maybe a little more, I have them dialed in now. And having them dialed in I think the sound is excellent and very enjoyable. I think these are well worth the purchase and have enjoyed them for the time. I’ve owned them with no issues with charging or any other issues. Highly recommended. Give them 5 stars.

After living with the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds (2nd Gen) for a while, I can say they earn their reputation. The noise cancellation is the best I've used in an earbud — flights, coffee shops, and city streets all just - quiet down- in a way that still feels natural rather than pressurized. CustomTune's auto-calibration genuinely seems to make a difference, and the sound is rich and warm with that signature Bose bass that doesn't smother the mids. Immersive Audio is a real party trick — it pulls the soundstage out of your head in a way most earbuds can't. Comfort is the other standout. The wingtip-and-tip combos let you dial in a fit that stays put without fatigue, even on long sessions. Multipoint Bluetooth, wireless charging on the case, and the improved AI-based call clarity round out a properly premium package. That said, honest is honest: battery life tops out at about 6 hours (4 with Immersive Audio on), which is short compared to a lot of the competition. The case is functional but bulkier and less premium-feeling than the buds deserve at $299. Call quality is much improved but still trails the AirPods Pro. And if you already own the 1st Gen and got multipoint via firmware update, the upgrade case is thin. Bottom line: if you want class-leading ANC, gorgeous sound, and all-day comfort, these are as good as it gets. Just go in knowing you're paying flagship money and charging more often than you might .

NOT worth the premium to get Bose. I was going to give 3 stars, but now down to 1 after the most recent crazy problems. I purchased the Bose because I get serious ringing in my ears after flights due to the nose level and time, and the Bose were supposed to be great for eliminating noise on airplanes. I brought all of my earbuds to test them all out on the same flights. I had the Samsung Galaxy Buds3 Pro, Galaxy Buds2, Galaxy Buds FE, JBL Tune230NC TWS, and the Bose QuietComfort Ultra 2nd edition. There was no question that the Bose did well, but they weren't always the best. It depended on the aircraft. The Bose and the old cheap JBLs were always the top 2 of the crop. In some planes, the Bose did better, and in some the JBL was better. Samsung has the most reliable connections and stable app, but none of the Samsung earbuds were even close to the JBL and Bose for cancelling airplane noise. Unfortunately, right from the start, the Bose had quirky issues. They USUALLY worked, but quite often there were problems getting them to connect, or one would connect and the other wouldn't, and I'd have to put them back in the case a couple of times to get out to work. Then can the disastrous Sunday. I had the Bose with me in my son's church because of the loud music they played. But the Bose started going berserk. They went in an infinite loop of one earbud connecting, going into Quiet mode, then back to Aware mode, then disconnecting, while the OTHER earbud was connecting and disconnecting and switching back and forth between Aware and Quiet modes. Both earbuds would change modes or disconnect or reconnect about every 3-5 seconds, and they would be independently doing the opposite of the what the other earbud was going. It was a complete disaster. I 1) restarted my phone 2) put the earbuds back in the case for 30 second (turning them off) and then taking them back out 3) I had my phone (Galaxy S24 Ultra) forget the Bluetooth pairing connection and then re-paired the connection, 4) did a factory reset on the earbuds, and 5) deleted the app and reinstalled it. The earbuds that I was counting on completely never worked. I no longer have functioning $249 earbuds. I am glad I wasn't relying on them for a trans Atlantic flight! Anyway, they work fine in theory, although not really better than my 4 year old $50 JBLs. Now the Bose don't work at all, after less than 4 months of owning them. Since this happened, I've read many others are having similar problems with these overpriced and now useless Bose earbuds.

Best ear buds I have ever owned!!! I am an audiophile and am VERY PICKY when it comes to my audio! I listen to audio ALL DAY LONG! I love BASS!! I was worried when I got these that 1. I wouldn’t get enough Bass and that 2. I wouldn’t be able to get enough volume out of these ear buds seeing that my previous ear buds wouldn’t go high enough even when they were at Max volume! So I gave these a try. I am extremely happy to report that 1. These have wonderful bass!! Which you are able to adjust using the Bose app which is pretty easy to use. Just install after you link the ear buds to your phone or computer/laptop/tablet then install the app and adjust the bass in the EQ! EZ PZ! 2.these have more than enough volume! I am able to go to about 75% volume and leave it there depending on the app I am using and hear just fine and that is using only one earbud. I use one earbud at a time so that I am able to extend the length of time that I am able to use the earbuds throughout the day as I stay up ALL day and night but when I do use both they stay at about the same volume as well. The battery life is GREAT!!! They last well throughout the day and night and I get about 3 charges from the case before I need to recharge the case. That is a charge of the right earbud the Left earbud and another full charge of the right ear bud and a partial charge of the Left ear bud before I have to recharge the case. You are able to charge the case by USB-C cable or by wireless charger. When I first started wearing these earbuds they gave me some discomfort but I was able to adapt to that and now I am fine with them and have no discomfort and they feel GREAT!! They fit great in my ears and don’t move at ALL! They are snug and at times I forget that I have them in at all lol! The case is nice and light. It’s tiny enough that it fits in my pocket and I know where it is at all times lol it has a light on the front so that when I am charging the earbuds the light radiates and when the charging case is done charging the light goes out. These are things the seller does not tell you!! When you are using the earbuds you will know the earbuds are about to go out of battery because a nice lady will come into your ear and tell you that the battery is low two times and then u will get about 20-30 more minutes of power before they die so either change the earbud if u are using only one or charge them if u are using both! They fit VERY snug in the case sometimes so snug you can’t get them out lol so no worries about them falling out of the case!! When u put them in your ear at first you will be greeted with the amount of battery life you have in the earbud. Overall I am so happy with these earbuds and I don’t want to get a new pair EVER LOL! I keep these with me 24/7 and the case is in my pocket at all times. I would HIGHLY recommend these to anyone that is interested in a pair of BOSE earbuds! These are the best earbuds I have ever had and I will be buying a new pair if I ever need to again!!

I was concerned these wouldn't fit my ears (ear buds have traditionally not), but they fit great. I can't use them for exercise, but they work great for the airplane (block noise completely) or listening to music at night. The UX is not intuitive with the app, but the noise cancelling is excellent. I took on a plane ride to Japan and they lasted 5 hours. Easy to recharge, nice compact charging case, and amazing sound. I would recommend.

Over the years I’ve owned many Bose Earbuds (and a pair of QC35IIs) wired and Bluetooth. I used a pair of QC 2020s almost continuously for four years until the batteries started giving out. When that happened I thought it would be cool to have a pair of APP2 since I’m in the “ecosystem.” I used them on vacation and found them disappointing. On the flight home when the lady behind me would not shut up- and I could hear her- (and the engine noise) the first thing I did when I got home was put a pair of the Bose Quiet Comfort Ultra II in my cart and hit ‘buy.’ The second I put them in my ears I was rewarded with blessed silence and that was before I put on any music. Pros: The Midnight Violet is GORGEOUS. If you’re a fan of purple, these are for you. They’re super comfortable. Easy to get a good fit and seal. They don’t fall out and I can wear them for hours, no problem. My ears are never sore unlike the APP2. The noise cancellation is head and shoulders above the rest I don’t care what anyone else claims. There’s a reason they’re the gold standard. I put them in and I am effectively deaf (the way I like it). They have multipoint connect so it’s easy to switch between devices. I’ve always been a fan of the Bose sound signature and I think it’s better than ever. You also get an EQ in the app to tweak how you like. Cons: The case is almost twice the size of others and if you put a protective case on it (not easy to find) it makes it HUGE. Bose oddly only offers them in black and white. There is no ‘locate’ feature. C’mon Bose, even cheapy buds have this. So you have to put a case on them so you can add an AirTag to them and now your sleek, pretty earbuds look ridiculous. The touch controls are way too sensitive. If you accidentally touch one or your hair brushes one you’ll pause your music. It would be nice if we could adjust the sensitivity and assign the basic functions to one or the other. No widget. Having to go into the app is a pain. A lot of the negative feedback in the reviews here are common issues with any Bluetooth device especially if you have a lot of Bluetooth devices. That said, I haven’t experienced any of them. Bose is great about honoring their warranty so if I did have an issue I have no doubt they’d take care of me. Bottom line, if I lost them or they were damaged and I had to get on a plane tomorrow? I’d add to cart and spring for express delivery because they cover my top two priorities- comfort and the best noise canceling you can get. That they sound and look great is a bonus. If they had a locate feature and the ability to adjust the touch sensitivity I would have given them 5 stars.

The only negative things I can say about these earbuds are: The way they plug in to the charging case is kind of weird and doesn't seem very secure, and the battery life is not the greatest, 6-8hrs at most with noise cancellation off. Everything else is pretty much amazing across the board. The Noise Cancellation is VERY solid. The ability to connect to two devices at once & switch between them via the app is pretty great. The tap controls are easier to use compared to the older Bose Earbuds I have, these only require one tap to play/pause, the old ones it was double tap. Switching Noise modes is a simple long press, next track/restart track are also tap functions which you can find in the instructions. Volume control is what you would expect, swipe one way for up, the other way for down. The build quality of the Earbuds themselves is good. They fit pretty snug with the default rubber-pieces that came on them for me, which is good because that aides in the noise cancellation/sound dampening even when you don't have the Active feature turned on. The sound quality on these things is AMAZING. This & the ANC is what you should be buying these for, superior sound & great noise cancelling tech. Are they worth the price? That's really subjective, as to how much of a music/audio snob you are. In my case, I have noticed that there are parts in several songs I've listened to for over a year, that I'm hearing notes or instrumentation clearly that was muddled or almost not even present on other sound devices. It really is that good.

I have tried several earbuds lately and could not find one that fit. All the earbuds that have the popular sticks that come down gave me sores in the shell of my ear. Now I finally have a pair that fits and has the features I want. I'm thrilled with these earbuds! I can turn on quiet or immersive sound and tune out the rest of the world. I was able to tap the earbud and make my husband's snoring go away. That made me very happy! Some reviews complain about the battery life but I haven't had any problems. The connectivity is not fabulous but is good. It does not fall out of my y ears even when I exercise. The volume is good. I don't know about durability because I've only had them for about a week. The volume is fine. I like the slim case. The case and earbuds feel like they're well made.
