QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds (2nd Gen)

Got the Bose QC Ultra Earbuds (2nd Gen) as a gift and prefers their sound to their Tozo earbuds, but is considering an exchange.

Their QC Ultra Earbuds 2nd Gen have incredible fit and comfort, and one survived landing in soapy water after drying in rice.

The QC Ultra Earbuds 2nd Gen have the best ANC and ambient mode they've used, but tapping sounds hollow, the case feels cheap, multipoint reconnects every time, and volume got lower over time.

The QC Ultra Earbuds 2nd Gen fit so well they don't worry about them falling out even when moving around a lot.

Finds the QC Ultra Earbuds (2nd Gen) very disappointing: despite trying every tip and a good result in the app's fit test, the noise cancelling barely works for them and all modes sound the same.

“I tried every tip and noise cancelling just sucks, when I change from mode to mode they all sound the same, when I turn it on I can still hear everything around me and conversations.”

Considers the QC Ultra Earbuds (2nd Gen) the best for noise cancelling and finds the settings make a big difference.

Has owned the QC Ultra Earbuds (2nd Gen) and WF-1000XM6; no earbuds cancel noise really well with their ear shape, but the Bose are still the best, ahead of the Momentum True Wireless 5.

Had the QC Ultra Earbuds (2nd Gen) before the Soundcore Liberty 5 Pro: definitely better noise cancelling, but they hurt their left ear with every tip, so they switched.

“I had the Bose QC ultra 2 before the liberty and they were definitely better for ANC. They just hurt my left ear when I wore them, regardless of which tip I had in.”
