Thank you for the review I do have a quick question, does the app only have GPS for the case or for each earbud?

@GinaChavezmusic 4 месяца назад

i was blown away by these -- the sound, the ANC, and the fit, until... i tried to take a call on them. The call quality on both ends of the call is TRAGIC, so much so that I had to send them back. As someone with small ears that don't typically work well with earbuds -- and these fit and felt amazing -- I was so sad that these earbuds couldn't give a remotely decent call experience.

@RichMulholland Месяц назад

I've had the same experience. My wife refuses to speak to me when I'm wearing these, she says it sounds terrible, it seems to amplify the ambient sound of the environment I'm in down the mic to the person that I'm speaking to. Also crappy on Zoom calls.

@MistaGooch 2 дня назад

This was the biggest issue I had with my current Bose QC Earbuds. The call quality is absolutely terrible. I would imagine this is what it might sound like speaking to someone on the moon via mobile phone. I was hoping the Ultra upgraded version was better, but it sounds like it's more of the same. Hard pass for me, especially at that price.

[Noise Cancelling - QC45 Vs. QC Ultra Headphones Vs. QC Ultra Earphones] Great video! I'm a long time user of the QC 35 (absolutely love them). Now, I've got a constant noise of a vacuum cleaner coming from a pet shop which is driving me nuts. The QC 35 don't block enough of that, and I need to play some white noise while wearing them to block that noise. So my question is, should I upgrade to the QC Ultra Earbuds or Headphones? Not sure if you have them both, so maybe this could be applied to QC45 Vs. QC Ultra Earbuds. I guess the QC Ultra would provide superior noise cancelling given the passive NC cancelling provided by them being in-ear and not over-ear. The case scenario here would be to use the headphones/earbuds without any music and just beneficiate of the NC capabilities. I also do a bunch of calls each day, and I normally don't use the QC35 during them as I can't hear myself properly and that's annoying :D What would you recommend between these options? Thanks a lot!

Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't Bose promised to upgrade QC II earbuds to higher codecs?

@Hey-Googootz 2 месяца назад

Nice review. I also own these earbuds and I agree with your assessment 100%. These buds are freaking amazing. I give mine the most use at the gym, and I will add that they are ultra comfortable and ultra secure while moving about and sweating a lot. I have never had one fall out or feel as if it dislodged which would be an annoyance I could not stand for. For me, this was an upgrade from a previous set of bose buds which still had a wire connecting the two buds. $300 US was more than I wanted to spend but, after experiencing these buds, I do not regret a single penny spent for them.

@willwalshe 7 месяцев назад

I had the Bose QC1 earbuds originally, and even then their ANC was second to none. I remember comparing them to my partners AirPod Pro's at the time, and couldn't believe the difference in the ANC. It was night and day, the QC1's were in a different league. The QC2's have only raised the game again, they're incredible. I haven't tried the Ultra's yet, but can only assume they've raised the game even further. Would I like wireless charging and multipoint connection? Hell yes, but with the superiority of the ANC and sound quality alone, I honestly don't even miss those other features. Bose ANC is THE standard.

@michaelanthonytollan 2 месяца назад

@antediluvianatheist5262 5 месяцев назад

@andrewf8068 7 месяцев назад

Hi Mark, do they work with only one bud in use irrespective of which side (left or right) you are using? Last time I was searching for an alternative to apple ear buds I was out off by the fact that the target set (cant remember if it was Bose or Sony) could work with only one ear bud in use, so long as it was (for example) the right side. If you used only the left side, they would not worked as the right side was the brains of the pair that dealt with receiving the signal from the phone/music/youtube source would love these Bose buds, but only if I can alternate back and over which side I chose to use on its own

Jbl760 headphone vs ultra airpods bose which is a better quality for noise cancelling or is it the same quality?

@michaellee9449 3 месяца назад

I purchased a pair of Bose Quiet Comfort Ultra Earbuds, a month ago, and they are fantastic. The noise cancellation feature is awesome. I had a nosey fan running in the room, as soon as I activated the noise cancellation, instantly the noise disappeared. I thought the fan broken, because it was so quite. The immersion feature is beyond belief. I love the still motion sound, it really takes the listening experience to another level. In the past earbuds would hurt my ears after long periods of wear, not the ultra, very comfortable. These are the best earbuds I have ever purchased.

@franklong6269 5 месяцев назад

I bought these earbuds, and I agree. Nothing (no earbuds) even comes close to the ANC with the Bose QC II Ultra earbuds. I also agree that the audio quality is as good or better than any competitor. Also, the controls on these earbuds are the best of any out there. The fit and ease of putting these earbuds on is also the best of any earbuds I have ever used. They are the most comfortable earbuds I have ever used. The main problem I have had is connection issues and no multipoint connection ability. Which is disappointing. However, the positives far outweigh the negatives and I am keeping my set.

I initially bought the Sony WF XM5, they didn’t work for me in the noise cancelling department, in fact they didn’t work at all. I liked the sound, but I fear Sony have stuffed up with their choice of tips. I personally found it impossible to get a good seal and hence no NC. Frustrated, I bought a pair of the Bose Ultra and they work. However, will they be good enough to beat my wonderful over ear Sony WH XM4 on my frequent flights? I doubt it very much, but the compact nature of buds is a trade off I maybe happy to live with. Nice review Mark.Thank you.

@titzmageex 29 дней назад

Don't know if they've had a firmware update since thise that changed this... but I just got a pair and the NC is absolutely terrible. I also can't stand the fact there is no kind of feedback, whether it be haptics or sound, when using the controls, to let you know you're actually doing something.

@vladarino 5 месяцев назад

I've held off for years on getting wireless ANC earbuds due to lots of negative feedback I've read on prior models. I took the dip with these QC Ultra Earbuds and I'm not disappointed. These things sound and fit great. ANC is amazing. What I don't like is the touch sensitivity for pause-rewind-skip. I'm often pausing or skipping by mistake when I meant to rewind. That's the one thing that takes a star off of the rating. I love these for my long runs (half-marathon and beyond) because they stay in and don't hurt my ear (with the correct sized ear pieces swapped in) and I can easily swap between aware mode, when close to traffic, and immersion mode. These things are now my go-to headphones over my QC headphones. I keep my QCs for air travel and meetings (earbuds don't do as great of a job with voice as the QCs).

Lol, still no multipoint connection? I like my B and Os and XM5s for now. Will wait for new Senheisers or B and Os. We shall see

Great review. It’s 31 March 2024. Current special on Amazon UK for £225 - RRP £299I am from South Africa and had tax deducted so it ended up being £185 or something! Can’t wait!!! I have AirPods Pro 2 but these summer a notch up!!! And I usually love Bose because of the bass factor that I love!!!

Finally somebody got it right instead of bashing them for not having multipoint connection and wireless charging. The main factors that make or break a pair of ANC earphones or earbuds are comfort, sound and ANC. The Bose QC ANC earbuds II and Ultra have no competition in these categories. I know what I am talking about because I returned my Sony WF-1000XM5s for unbelievably poor ANC and inferior ergonomics and comfort. They only scored for their small size and nice looks. Sony's bloated app functions are useless and their sound lacks clarity and separation. Even Apple's Airpods Pro 2 are better than Sony's XM5s. At least they are comfortable, have decent ANC especially for semi-open earbuds and a top of the line transparency mode.

not only did you convince me to buy the QuietComfort Ultras, the true gem of this review is Pop Evil's song, I was curious to hear what your go to song was, and I love it!!!

Great review, though I did miss the "Sledgehammer" head bop. I appreciate you trying something other than an Apple product and not using the ecosystem excuse and telling us your genuine feelings. Kudos on your channel

@MarkEllisReviews 7 месяцев назад

Haha - thank you! Promise the Sledgehammer head bop will return!

The new Peter Gabriel album is an epic piece of audio brilliance

Hi, can you pause the music, turn off the ANC and have a conversation with someone easily?

@latingringo89 3 месяца назад

Bose's earbuds have always been the king since back when they were wired. Always the best fit and secure for my ears... My biggest issue with the latest generations is the missing feature of GPS location. Lose one earbud and youre shit outta luck sadly...

Can you please make the review of Devialet Gemini 2 please. Thank you.

@arielspalter7425 7 месяцев назад

QC 2 don’t have multi-point connectivity. Do the new generation support this?

@jameswu1768 2 месяца назад

No multipoint for now, maybe through a software upgrade. But the ANC is incredible. I'm coming from Sennheiser Momentum TW3.

@yuidfbse 3 месяца назад

One thing forgotten to be mentioned in this review is the absolutely preposterous amount of hiss and white noise when you are using the ANC and there is nothing playing. I guess for some people that's an "invisible" issue, for me is simply unbearable and unacceptable.

@zombieprodigyz 7 дней назад

Agreed, it is like static interference similar to that of a car radio out of reciever range... idk why people dont talk about this more. If you listen closly in the left earbud during music or videos it is still there too....

@squidgewinkle 2 месяца назад

Hey, great video but there's a mistake at 1:46 - these do not support multipoint connectivity (pairing with multiple devices at the same time). It's one of the biggest drawbacks of these buds

@1989gem 7 месяцев назад

I didn’t realise they had come out yet. The over ear ones are out in a couple of weeks I think… hopefully you review those too.

@MarkEllisReviews 7 месяцев назад

I will indeed!

@Coldspawn5 7 месяцев назад

I have the Bose QC earbuds 2, and they're actually 10/10. Would buy again.

@clgaines2006 7 месяцев назад

Do you think it's worth upgrading? I'm deciding.

@Coldspawn5 7 месяцев назад

@@clgaines2006 from the QCE 2 to the Ultra? No. Spacial audio alone doesn’t warrant spending another 300 bucks. If you don’t have either of these, I don’t think you can go wrong with the Ultra, but keep an eye out for a sale on the QCE 2 if you wanna spend less👍🏻

@catopwnzify 7 месяцев назад

Is it worth the upgrade?
