Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds second generation in Deep Plum

#4 in our eight-model review comparison

Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds (2nd Gen)

The strongest specialist case in the upper group is ANC, backed by good calls in several tests and cross-platform support. Fit is strongly ear-dependent: some reviewers report secure comfort while TechGearLab found the housings bulky and insecure for most testers.
