As a music producer, I want to compliment you on your understanding how the ear and sounds work. Thanks for the great review! This gave me a lot of information to consider.

Is the anc difference really bad? Because i am thinking on buying them.

1 just have 1 question, by the way you are an awesome reviewer. A very polished and well informed audio reviewer. I had the qc2, and my biggest issue was connectivity, I have other earbuds for specific purposes. I just want these for the gym. Would you recommend it for that purpose, on a samsung galaxy s23 ultra? Thank you for your time and assistance.

Great review 💪

Glad to hear Bose fixed the app but the mic is still crap:( I am a package car driver for UPS and I would love for Bose to make their microphone crystal clear like my Blue Parrott 650 Bluetooth headset. The Blue Parrot650 mic is the clearest mic ever invented in my opinion. I'd love to be able to use my Bose while I'm delivering packages but until they fix their mic, I'll continue using my Blue Parrot in the truck and Bose when I'm at home. Thanks for taking the time to make this in-depth video !! ✌️

@imwhatsnew After months of listing to earbuds reviewers, you are by far the most accurate in depth and honest. I appreciate your content and thorough information and also the time you took to reply to my question. For years I use the original balls soundsport free earbuds and love them. Once I began losing battery life. I switched to the original Sennheiser Momentum earbuds and love them until I lost one down a sewer drain while exercising. I bought the Sennheiser 3s and loved them, especially for the fit and sound, until I begin having earbud issues which eventually led to the left earbud producing no sound at all (a very common problem I'm now discovering). I just want excellent sounding and fitting earbuds, but now realize after your reviews all the shortcomings of the Sony xm5 and Bose QC Ultras. Any other recommendations at the sound quality and fit levels that I don't have to pay $400 for?

​@@imwhatsnew ​Thanks for the answer! Are "Bose QuietComfort Earbuds Ultra" much more comfortable than "TWS Sony WF-1000XM5"? if you were choosing headphones to play on the Steam Deck and you needed the most comfortable headphones that you wouldn’t want to take out after an hour or two of playing (something like Airpods 2/3), but at the same time they also had high-quality sound, Which headphones would you choose? Bose QuietComfort Earbuds Ultra or Sony WF-1000XM5? or would you choose some other headphones for the most comfortable gaming on Steam Deck? (I’m not looking at gaming headsets with low latency, I don’t play competitive shooters on portable consoles, these will be some kind of single-player story games, so the priority is maximum comfort and quality of sound and headphones.)

I am surprised you had a few issues with the app and connectivity issues. It was constant, and the left ear often wouldn't connect. Anyway, I returned mine as the lack of multipoint and the abysmal call quality in a noisy environment drove me up the wall. Thanks for the thorough review. P.

WTF!!) Overall Score 6.5/10 because of the complete CRAP sound during phone calls. Geek Squad and Apple store could not figure it out. You can only do one connection at a time instead of multi connections like the sony. EARBUDS...Buy the SONY XM5....Over the ear ANC for long plane trips Both BOSE and Sony are tied due to the preference of sound quality. I am a HUGE Bose fan over the years for Over the ear ANC on plane rides or sleeping in noisy environments. Bose missed the boat on the earbuds because of the CRAP phone call quality. This is my humble and honest opinions. If you find a solution to fix the phone call quality and volume on the Bose Ultra Earbuds then I might rebuy them.

The ear tip and wing tips thing is to complicated and I do not like the not being able to double tap and switch between quiet and awareness this immersion mode feels like something they have just tacked on to make it feel they have been made better,no just an unnecessary feature

IMO all the BOSE QC earbuds are great! The biggest thing IMO is the connectivity range and the Immersive mode on the Ultras is Amazing. IMO the range and the overall sound of the Ultras is the best BOSE has ever offered yet! Is it worth more money is up to personal preference, you decide but IMO the Ultras are the best sounding earbuds on the market!

thank you for the explanation of my (recently bought) Bose ultra. One difference: telephoning with Bose ultra and Samsung mobile: my surrounding sounds are cancelled and my telephone partner at the other end hears only my voice.

I have to start Immersive STILL to use my "sound like in reality according to the place at the music stage".

Review technics az80

I have to disagree with you on the immersion sound. With movie soundtracks and a lot of songs, the immersion sound effects are stunningly good. They open the sound stage and provide amazing clarity and definition.

The mic call quality for the QC II Ultras was really good in noisy environments. MUCH better than the QC II earbuds. I think that Bose will improve the ANC to at least match the QC II earbuds in future updates. The Bose earbud controls just bury the controls on the Sony XM5. You have to tap the Sony earbuds four times to change the volume. That's just insanely stupid because volume control is probably the most used control for any pair of earbuds. Even without multipoint, these are superior to the Sony XM5 earbuds.
