First impression of the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds
The charging case and earbuds look the same as those of the QuietComfort Earbuds II. It's useful that Bose includes 3 ear wings and ear tip sizes. This way, I can easily find a size that fits my ears. Lastly, I find a USB-C to USB-A charging cable in the box. This allows me to charge my earbuds both via my laptop and with a charger adapter. Thanks to Bluetooth 5.3, I can quickly connect the earbuds to my smartphone and start listening.
Spatial audio sounds immersive
The Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds are the first Bose earbuds with spatial audio. With this technology, music sounds spatial. This means that music comes to me from the sides, but also from other directions. This provides a music experience that I've never experienced before. The technology places me in the middle of the music. It feels like I'm at a festival with music all around me.
Strong noise canceling
The noise canceling closes me off well from the outside world. For example, I can easily focus on my work when I play music. I can also hear my surroundings clearly via 'the Aware mode'. This mode allows me to hear ambient noise. This isn't at the expense of the quality of the music. I can adjust the noise canceling myself via the Bose Music App. This way, I can choose how much ambient noise I want to hear.
Great wearing comfort
I can wear these earbuds for several hours at a time without any difficulty. The earbuds fit in my ears firmly thanks to ear wings and oval ear tips. These ear tips are shaped like my ear canal. This means that they stay in place and I can quickly find the right position of the earbuds. The earbuds are also light, so I can listen to music for a long time.
User-friendly ap
I can easily adjust my sound preferences in the Bose Music App. For example, I emphasize the bass when I want to. I can also do that for the mid tones and treble. In the app, I can switch from stereo sound to spatial audio and back. I can also test the seal of the earbuds in the app via a sound test. This way, the app knows whether I'm using the correct ear tips and ear wings.
Sturdy and balanced sound
The sound reproduction of the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds is balanced. The treble, mid tones, and bass sound clear and intense. As a result, the drums sound good. And so do the beats in techno music. The bass also sounds deep, which makes rock music stand out as well.
Conclusion
The Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds provide a new listening experience thanks to Bose Immersive Audio. Want to close yourself off from ambient noise with noise canceling? Go for these earbuds. Thanks to the comfortable fit, you can listen to music for hours on end without the earbuds bothering you. In addition, the earbuds have a balanced and deep sound reproduction.
