I have both. Long story but one was a gift. The Bose just has a bigger, fuller sound and way way better ANC. If you’re at a gym, you won’t hear a thing. Call quality is far less superior than the AirPods Pro 2. If you do a ton of calls, get the AirPods. If you value the synchronization with the Apple world, get the AirPods. Actually, the mid-range is also crisp and better than the Bose too. AirPods do loosen and change position more depending upon your ear type. If you value silencing out the world, better overall sound quality with heavy bass, and overall a better fit - get the Bose
Based on the price - if you had to get only one for daily use (mostly commuting, walking around, sometimes at the gym - but not always using ANC) which would you get? I'm in between both at the moment and can't decide
I have a question, does the volume go low on calls? Did you have that issue because i m having this issue and i got mine 2 days ago and m thinking of getting them replaced
Up front, I've been a bose fan for 50 years, but that was speakers and headphones. I've been using apple earpods for quite a few years now. Yesterday, I decided to buy a pair of the bose ultras and I love them. Using the finger touch controls are more intuitive and the bose music app is great. You can even put favorite settings in. I haven't experienced the static problem in the left ear bud, but then I wasn't listening for it. In this case, Bose is the better choice, at least for me.
I love the sound, they’re amazing.. but yes the HUGE downside for me is the fact that everyone who calls me says: “where are you??” When they hear me speak with them on.. As for AirPods no one ever noticed a difference while on a call with me.
No contest. Bose has always been the superior ear audio device than Apple. Like myself, others may have bought AirPods just to be consistent with Apple ecosystem.
100% These are noise cancelling earbuds. They are better in anc by a mile. Their sound is more full bodied and not muffled. And you can tweak them. These are the basic necessity for a noise cancelling earbuds. Transparency is still pretty decent and in quiet environment, their calls are fine. It's comfortable and stable. Wireless charging is meh, it is convenient but not a dealbreaker. Multipoint is probably the biggest miss. I don't use multiple devices, but i can imagine those who wfh have 2 laptops, a mobile and maybe a tablet. So it'll be nice to swap around.
I used to be an international auditor, and I was always travelling. I lucked upon the Bose QC II over-the-ear headphones (I still have them), and they were great on planes. I have currently got a pair of AirPods Pro 2, but I'm really not happy with the ANC. So I have bought a pair of Bose QC Ultra earpods. Since I like metal and heavy rock, I think they might serve me better.
I am never going to buy earbuds without wingtips ever again. Had them from Samsung, had them from Jabra and Apple. They just keep falling out when working out. Running, push ups, pull ups. All the time. ANC and sound quality don't mean anything if your earbuds are not in your ear ;).
For work outs the beats are a good brand! Either the beats fit pro or the power beats pro. For me, I want to maximize ANC, so the Bose is a green light for me!
11:29 I’ve had the original Bose earbuds for a couple years. I’ve literally dropped them in water completely submersed two times, and they still worked fine.
I have QC earbuds 2, and two things that really annoy me are: 1. Static noise when no music is playing. I especially notice it when I'm studying and listening to the piano, and in between tracks, the silence is filled with that annoying static noise. 2. Connectivity issue: sometimes, for no reason, the earbuds disconnect. It happens rarely, but when it does, it isn't enjoyable because it takes a minute or two to reconnect. And no, putting it in case doesn't fix it. Besides these two flaws, I really don't see any other issue. Overall, I love these earbuds because of their sound quality, aesthetics, and functionality. It would be worth buying the earbuds when they're on sale and not at MSRP.
BEWARE: Purchased brand new QC Ultras and got my order yesterday and sad to say I am RETURNING them. Not on my end , but my callers side reporting very bad intermittent interference noises he receives from my microphone. Tried reconnecting call etc. to no avail. Then switched to my AirPods ON THE SAME CALL and voila, no annoying noise at all. Extremely disappointed because the music quality is great and everything else … $300 product should be flawless!
Also the warranty with Bose is much better, I had the QC's 2020 model and the right earbud stopped working (I dropped it a lot). I contacted Bose after trying to troubleshoot it and they are sending me the QC Ultras once I send in my pair and they validate it, for free.
These Bose QC Ultra earbuds are really an insult to those who have bought the previous models, instead of doing the necessary software updates to fix existing problems, Bose just brings out the same products with new colors, and really tries to make people believe that these are new products, and you have to pay $50 more for a case to have wireless charging, bul*&hit 🤬 Even Apple isn't that dishonest. Ps: The Bose QC 2 earbuds have a Qualcomm processor and are therefore capable of having the Snapdragon sound and multipoint, but no, Bose is not ready to activate it by an update 🤦🏽♂️
yea so true , looks like bose doesnt try to fix qc2 issues with updating software. they prefer releasing new product rather than take responsilble and fix the previous models issue
Bose made basically no significant changes/improvements to this model compared to the QC Earbuds II when there was a lot they could've changed. The app is still trash, still no multipoint, still no wireless charging, still trash mic quality, and still at the ridiculous $300 price point. I'm not even an Airpods user (daily drivers are Technics AZ60M2 and Linkbuds S) but when compared to the new Bose earbuds it's a no brainer. Also, the QC Ultra will most likely be $300 for a while but the Airpods consistently drop to $200 places like Amazon and BestBuy. If you have Android there are plenty of better options with still really good ANC
Nobody uses air pods they are garbage all around. He's lying making it seem as if they can go neck and neck with bose. Bose are #1 if not #2 when it comes to headphones or earbuds. #2 is Sony.
Tied...in microphone?? Bose sounds like your under a tunnel bridge with echos bouncing off the walls. While the airpods sounds clearer than the other one
1. Apple really only works well with Apple. If you are ever going to connect to anything else, go with the Bose. 2. I recently used the airpod pros and I was impressed with the noise cancellation. I was very surprised that there's no option to change the sound profile. Apple has to use a very generic sound profile to accommodate multiple types of music and it would never sound great for any of them. At least Bose has an equalizer. 3. Many years ago someone mentioned that air pods looked like a bird pooped on your ear and it was running down your face. The pros are better because they are shorter but I can't get past that thought. The air pods will never look good to me because of it. Lol 4. The Bose may look better, perform better overall, and have better noise cancellation but I will tell you that I was incredibly surprised how easy it was to feel like I got a good fit with the air pods. I put it in my ear and it was right. I didn't have to play around with it.
i'm a studio mixing guy, and i would say the Airpods sounds not Hifi, (with much bass and much high's like a smile Eq), they sound really like my studiomonitor, i can really control mixes on this earbuds, and thats pretty amazing with the airpods pro.
Very interesting thanks. I have ordered the Bose, because I like the more bass sound that I enjoy with the first generation QC and I do a lot of travelling. Also the 1st generation QCs were not always comfortable and could dislodge and fall out if walking. Therefore for me tightness and sound are the priorities.
Is the hiss on the QuietComfort Ultras still as strong when listening to quiet music or podcasts as it was with the predecessors I returned for that reason?
I don't have an iPhone so...BOSE it is! I had QC Earbuds II and they crapped out (BT wouldn't stay connected after several attempts at resetting them). I got a replacement set of QC Ultra coming in from BOSE as a replacement option. If those crap out after 6mo I may be done with BOSE then. I do have a older dog collar BOSE Quiet Control which still works great. So hopefully that doesn't mean BOSE quality is going down. We'll see how the Ultras are! And btw....Guinness fan much? 😆
The biggest advantage of the Bose is the anatomical fit that allows going running with them, the Airpods do not adjust as well and fall off, they are only fit to use in still scenarios (at the office, home, or walking)
Only issue I have with the Bose is how sensitive they are to touch. If you wear a hood, you will accidentally pause or switch modes quit often. For this reason they are also impossible to wear if you ride a motorcycle.
Hey Mike, the static you hear on the left earbud when no music is playing is not only on your buds. I have two sets (black and white) and both have that static on the left bud. It's barely noticeable, but it's there. So maybe it will be fixed on an future software update.
I'd say the QC Ultra looks better in ear due to the flat surface making swiping gesture a bit easier compared to Apple's rounded stem. Recently bought the QC2s coming from AP1... Apart from having better ANC, I have to say I enjoy the sound quality of the QC2s better due to its richer bass and in-app equalizer to which isn't available in Apple. I agree with you that in making calls, Apple has a better mic.. call quality is just better with Apple.
I love my AirPods. But since they started doing the hissing noise when I do transparency or noise cancellation, I’ve been annoyed and find myself using them less. Granted it’s not the second gen. But I like noise cancellation. It was a decision of the Bose ultra or second gen AirPods.I figured I’d try Bose and see how they are. Anyone have any personal reviews on the Bose and second gen AirPods and used them both? I’m excited to try Bose but it’s literally people either for it or against it. No in between lol.
I’d love to see a follow-up video on durability. I’ve owned two pairs of AirPods Pro and they both developed an internal “rattle” over time. I just bought the Bose Ultra and they feel better built, but of course it’s too early to tell how they will hold up.
Also the warranty with Bose is much better, I had the QC's 2020 model and the right earbud stopped working (I dropped it a lot). I contacted Bose after trying to troubleshoot it and they are sending me the QC Ultras once I send in my pair and they validate it, for free.
I bought AirPods Pro 2, Sony WF XM5 and Bose QC ultra. The best is Bose Ultra, the second is AirPods Pro 2, the 3rd one is Sony WF XM5. Sony has nice sound quality but very poor noise cancellation
As far as the atheistic vote. I have been an Apple enthusiast for many years If I buy anything Tech I make sure apple has a version of whatever it is I want to buy b4 I buy (for the most part) but I hate the apple AirPods stem look it sickens me to my core. So I went with the Bose. Love everything Apple but those pods are not only ugly to me everybody has them. No opportunity for individuality. Also my Bose QC II just broke after the bud casing cracked when I dropped it and just this past week the individual bud’s casing came apart so I bought the Bose Ultra and I am here to say 11 months after this review was first posted to youtube they have not dropped in Price. I paid $299 on Amazon no less Amazon who is know. For discounts. So bummer to find out that they have been around for at least a year and are still full price.
One of the most important thing that is always overlooked is the customer support.. Bose has the best customer support that a company can have. You can buy bose without worrying if it breaks... that is why I will always stick with bose... If the apple product fails, good luck with that.. I have both but the airpods always have to stay home and not being used. my problem with wirpods is the I always accidental press whenever I take them out. or when i hold them.. while bose, i had no issue when I change volume or take them out from my ears without ending the call.. They do look better also in my opinion.. plus airpods have tons of fakes!!!
If you’re in the Apple ecosystem just go with the AirPods Pro II but if I had to get one thing from the Bose ultra that would be the earwing on their buds
Bose had no input on this video and did not see it prior to publication. This video is completely independent, so why wouldn't I be objective? I aim to keep all my videos objective with real testing and honest conclusions. The way I see it, brands cannot be mad at me for making a perfectly honest video.
In my humble opinion, the bass on the Bose QuietComfort Ultra earbuds is unparalleled. I prefer listening to these for bass heavy music rather than my AirPods Pro 2 earbuds. But the QuietComfort Ultra earbuds are not worth the $300 price tag. They are no better than the stellar Sennheiser MOMENTUM True Wireless 3 earbuds, which currently price at around $175. And the AirPods Pro 2 earbuds are at least just as good, if not better and can be acquired for $200 or less.
I saw bar graphs from multiple videos that bose ultras are top ANC every time so that must count for something, also I heard multiple good customer support giving replacements and discounts.
Don't you dare use the QC ultras on ios. The sound quality vs android is day and night!... They're way better on android At first i was disappointed..then i tried them on android! Lord!
I have the airpods pro 1 and they really hurt the outside of my ears, not sure if anyone of you ever experienced that, so I have stopped using them. How are the airpods pro 2 from a form and fit standpoint? Any one experiencing ear discomfort?
So Bose is better set of earphones while AirPods are better overall headset for calls and things etc… I’ve had Bose and I’m not impressed. My earphones took many trips to service center, no global warranty and eventually my qc25s fell apart without me even using them. Biodegradable I guess. I’d go with AirPods any time. At least the built quality with Apple products seems to be solid.
Very nice looking images ...& I'm not just talking about the buds.....be careful using comments like "I had a fan blowing on my face"....you might end up with a lot more gay subscribers 😅😅😅
I’m a Bose QCE 2 user but I’ve used Airpods pro 2 also. You need a proper test and little bit of research before making videos like this.. because AirPods pro 2 lasts 5 hours 50 minutes ish with ANC not 4 and half. You’re literally talking as if this is 1st gen Airpods pro.
Another factor is different ears. The noise cancelling is far, far superior in the Bose vs (AirPods or XM5s) for me, I think because I have 'large' ear canals.
Bose sound great, NC great, comfortable, but they're hideous in every other way. The app is useless, it can't find the earbuds, disconnects. Now has multi point connections, but switching connections is not smooth and creates new bugs. I hate them so much now that I would throw them in the bin if they weren't so expensive.
There is a certain sound limitation for Rock style music. Songs like "She-Greenday", in the chorus there is a lot of crackling. It's enough to be irritating. Otherwise, noise cancellation is the best.
Worst microphone and call quality uou can imagine. I m now only using them when i m on the plane. Work, or even at a less then dead silent place, i m using a good ol' powerbeats pro set. Rip off unless you are a mute and can't accept phonecalls or any kind of online meetings
I’m an audiophile, I got both of these and honestly……the Skullcandy grind fuel anc (orange insert) blow these out of the water. Hard to believe but it’s facts.
Im the active person of me and my girlfriend, so i gave her my ear pods pro 2, and now i ordered bose, cause AirPods for me just fall out from a stand still, so cykling or rollerskating making the fall out all the time!
I cant keep AirPods in my ear. I’ve had every version of the pro and regular AirPods. I have the original Quietcomfort earbuds and they have good sound, ok noise canceling(I usually switch to my Quiet Comfort headphones on a plane) and they stay in my ear. Noise canceling is really only needed, for me, on a plane and I’ll probably just buy the QC Ultra after I see a few more reviews. Biggest concern for me will be the weight. If the new QC is lighter than the QC Ultra I’ll probably update to the QC. Microphone are not a consideration for me in 98% of my use
This guy is getting some things wrong, the AirPod pros 2 have 30 hours of battery on the charge case and 6 hours of battery life with anc and transparency lol
5:16, interesting you mention the static because I experienced the same thing when they were connected to my Galaxy S9 FE tablet but not on my S24 ultra...?🤨 wonder why that is... probably due to the better hardware on the phone?
Just picked up the bose ultras. Superb sound quality but also have the hissing noice in the buds. Abit disturbing but only when I'm not listening to anything. And for the first time my airpods pro 2 is gonna stay in their box. Awsome ANC also.
So which earbuds do you think won?
Air pods wins finish him😂
bad mic.. even with the old bose qc earbuds.
For the jack if all trades, the Air Pods Pro 2, but I am still getting the Bose because if their superior noise cancelling.
Well Bose is little uncomfortable, the mic is bad, no wireless charging, so AirPods win
Of course Air Pod Pros with an iPhone, would you choose the Air Pods if you had an Android phone?
I have both. Long story but one was a gift. The Bose just has a bigger, fuller sound and way way better ANC. If you’re at a gym, you won’t hear a thing. Call quality is far less superior than the AirPods Pro 2. If you do a ton of calls, get the AirPods. If you value the synchronization with the Apple world, get the AirPods. Actually, the mid-range is also crisp and better than the Bose too. AirPods do loosen and change position more depending upon your ear type. If you value silencing out the world, better overall sound quality with heavy bass, and overall a better fit - get the Bose
Based on the price - if you had to get only one for daily use (mostly commuting, walking around, sometimes at the gym - but not always using ANC) which would you get? I'm in between both at the moment and can't decide
i have bose qc2, the bluetooth connection is not stable, always lost connection and then reconnect again , do u feel the same thing on ultra earbuds ?
I have a question, does the volume go low on calls? Did you have that issue because i m having this issue and i got mine 2 days ago and m thinking of getting them replaced
@@hassannawaz9054 i dont have that issue, only connectivty problem
Bose is fine in quiet environment. It's only not good if it's very loud outdoors. So to me, the bose is much better.
Bose are more comfortable, better sounds, and anc is top notch.
They're both good earbuds, but I have to go with the Bose.
Up front, I've been a bose fan for 50 years, but that was speakers and headphones. I've been using apple earpods for quite a few years now. Yesterday, I decided to buy a pair of the bose ultras and I love them. Using the finger touch controls are more intuitive and the bose music app is great. You can even put favorite settings in. I haven't experienced the static problem in the left ear bud, but then I wasn't listening for it. In this case, Bose is the better choice, at least for me.
Please can you compare the Bose Ultra earbuds with the Sony WF-1000XM5?
I love the sound, they’re amazing.. but yes the HUGE downside for me is the fact that everyone who calls me says: “where are you??” When they hear me speak with them on.. As for AirPods no one ever noticed a difference while on a call with me.
Question...why is this guy the ONLY one reviewing these early? Where are. MKBHD, Flossy or even Linus with their reviews?
I think Bose didn’t pay them enough? I was like why they don’t review this ??
No contest. Bose has always been the superior ear audio device than Apple. Like myself, others may have bought AirPods just to be consistent with Apple ecosystem.
100%
These are noise cancelling earbuds.
They are better in anc by a mile. Their sound is more full bodied and not muffled. And you can tweak them. These are the basic necessity for a noise cancelling earbuds.
Transparency is still pretty decent and in quiet environment, their calls are fine.
It's comfortable and stable.

Foam eartips are a good solution. Mine don’t fall out since then.
@@rmrzleon8719 already have them. It does help a bit. But I still think that wing tips should be on every pair of buds :)
Soundcore sport x10. ANC isn't the best but it never EVER fall out
Don’t have that issue so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
11:29 I’ve had the original Bose earbuds for a couple years. I’ve literally dropped them in water completely submersed two times, and they still worked fine.
When is your vid coming out comparing the ultra to the previous gen 2 Bose?

yea poin number 2 happens to me as well , i think qc2 has the same issue with connectivity

Kind of expected. Bose is more for stereo system. Focus on the quality of the sound
Also the warranty with Bose is much better, I had the QC's 2020 model and the right earbud stopped working (I dropped it a lot). I contacted Bose after trying to troubleshoot it and they are sending me the QC Ultras once I send in my pair and they validate it, for free.
Your one of few that get that response from Bose, they usually tell you your device is out of warranty and try to sell you another item

Hello compare these buds with Jabra elite 10
I expected it would be more powerful to cancel out crowd noise, which is most important to me.
Should I upgrade to the Quietcomfort Ultra earbuds if I have the Quietcomfort earbuds 2?
No
Is the hiss on the QuietComfort Ultras still as strong when listening to quiet music or podcasts as it was with the predecessors I returned for that reason?
I really dig the video. How come you're the only one with the QC Ultra's??
I don't have an iPhone so...BOSE it is! I had QC Earbuds II and they crapped out (BT wouldn't stay connected after several attempts at resetting them). I got a replacement set of QC Ultra coming in from BOSE as a replacement option. If those crap out after 6mo I may be done with BOSE then.

The biggest advantage of the Bose is the anatomical fit that allows going running with them, the Airpods do not adjust as well and fall off, they are only fit to use in still scenarios (at the office, home, or walking)
I recommend buying the Comply Foam tips for the AirPods Pro 2. It's worth the small investment because it perfectly solves the fit issue.
why does nobody ever talk about loudness
I bring my Bose when I fly. Fucking top tier. When an announcement comes on you can tap to switch to aware mode and hear everything perfectly
Only issue I have with the Bose is how sensitive they are to touch. If you wear a hood, you will accidentally pause or switch modes quit often. For this reason they are also impossible to wear if you ride a motorcycle.
That sounds like something that could be fixed with an update. Hopefully they'll do that.
Hey Mike, the static you hear on the left earbud when no music is playing is not only on your buds. I have two sets (black and white) and both have that static on the left bud. It's barely noticeable, but it's there. So maybe it will be fixed on an future software update.
Try touching them on your ear and let that tuning noise play out and then insert them fully…. It kindda works for me pls let me know if it worked
I have that same static on my left AirPod pro 2
Bro this video was required. Thanks
I'd say the QC Ultra looks better in ear due to the flat surface making swiping gesture a bit easier compared to Apple's rounded stem. Recently bought the QC2s coming from AP1... Apart from having better ANC, I have to say I enjoy the sound quality of the QC2s better due to its richer bass and in-app equalizer to which isn't available in Apple. I agree with you that in making calls, Apple has a better mic.. call quality is just better with Apple.
AP2 is way better in bass and sound then AP1
AP2 have better sound quality then any earbud lol thats what the majority believe
When it comes to sound quality also AP2 is definitely a lot better then the AP1
Both are great, but the Bose look better, sound better, fit better, and ANC is better.
Why do people keep saying AirPods don’t have EQ settings. Yes, they are presets but they are there so saying there’s no EQ function is incorrect.
I love my AirPods. But since they started doing the hissing noise when I do transparency or noise cancellation, I’ve been annoyed and find myself using them less. Granted it’s not the second gen. But I like noise cancellation. It was a decision of the Bose ultra or second gen AirPods.I figured I’d try Bose and see how they are.
Anyone have any personal reviews on the Bose and second gen AirPods and used them both? I’m excited to try Bose but it’s literally people either for it or against it. No in between lol.
Did you ever get the bose
Bose QuietComfort ULTRA vs Sony XM5 earbuds. Test this one pls
No crapple for this kid
🤡 enjoy your buggy OS
I wish the Bose were not this bulky....and this expensive...
Seriously, it can be the champion of ANC but having no multipoint or LDAC is joke.
Apple really needs to redesign these ugly ah toothbrush heads lol. Until then sticking with my qc2
I’d love to see a follow-up video on durability. I’ve owned two pairs of AirPods Pro and they both developed an internal “rattle” over time. I just bought the Bose Ultra and they feel better built, but of course it’s too early to tell how they will hold up.
If it helps, I owned the quite comfort 1’s for 2 years and they were just as good throughout the entire duration. They are truly well built.
Also the warranty with Bose is much better, I had the QC's 2020 model and the right earbud stopped working (I dropped it a lot). I contacted Bose after trying to troubleshoot it and they are sending me the QC Ultras once I send in my pair and they validate it, for free.
I bought AirPods Pro 2, Sony WF XM5 and Bose QC ultra. The best is Bose Ultra, the second is AirPods Pro 2, the 3rd one is Sony WF XM5. Sony has nice sound quality but very poor noise cancellation
Bose are so much better looking than airpods. Definitely buying new bose
Audio quality is key for me, so Bose wins easily. Apple can only use old inferior AAT codec.
I’ve been using the APP2 for nearly a year and get a decent 5-5.5h with ANC/transparency on.
Can you compare the bose with the technics az-80 / and or jabra elite 10
As far as the atheistic vote. I have been an Apple enthusiast for many years If I buy anything Tech I make sure apple has a version of whatever it is I want to buy b4 I buy (for the most part) but I hate the apple AirPods stem look it sickens me to my core. So I went with the Bose. Love everything Apple but those pods are not only ugly to me everybody has them. No opportunity for individuality.
Also my Bose QC II just broke after the bud casing cracked when I dropped it and just this past week the individual bud’s casing came apart so I bought the Bose Ultra and I am here to say 11 months after this review was first posted to youtube they have not dropped in Price. I paid $299 on Amazon no less Amazon who is know. For discounts. So bummer to find out that they have been around for at least a year and are still full price.
Would you recommend one of these headphones for sleeping with
One of the most important thing that is always overlooked is the customer support.. Bose has the best customer support that a company can have. You can buy bose without worrying if it breaks... that is why I will always stick with bose... If the apple product fails, good luck with that.. I have both but the airpods always have to stay home and not being used. my problem with wirpods is the I always accidental press whenever I take them out. or when i hold them.. while bose, i had no issue when I change volume or take them out from my ears without ending the call.. They do look better also in my opinion.. plus airpods have tons of fakes!!!
If you’re in the Apple ecosystem just go with the AirPods Pro II but if I had to get one thing from the Bose ultra that would be the earwing on their buds
I dont wanna be that person but bose sponsored a video of yours specifically this exact bud, how did you stay objective in this video?
Bose had no input on this video and did not see it prior to publication. This video is completely independent, so why wouldn't I be objective? I aim to keep all my videos objective with real testing and honest conclusions. The way I see it, brands cannot be mad at me for making a perfectly honest video.
Boss look so cool and premium. Best look
Hi, do anyone have problems with the Bose ? Does it disconnect constantly and randomly ?
As someone shopping for earbuds now and considering both of them, this video couldnt have come at a more perfect time
So which is for you?
Sony
Fuck apple or any other brand. When it comes to sound quality bose is king
Sony mx5 earbuds wins
BOSE for me all day long.
Do a video of what in the world do you do with all of these devices that you own
In my humble opinion, the bass on the Bose QuietComfort Ultra earbuds is unparalleled. I prefer listening to these for bass heavy music rather than my AirPods Pro 2 earbuds. But the QuietComfort Ultra earbuds are not worth the $300 price tag. They are no better than the stellar Sennheiser MOMENTUM True Wireless 3 earbuds, which currently price at around $175. And the AirPods Pro 2 earbuds are at least just as good, if not better and can be acquired for $200 or less.
I saw bar graphs from multiple videos that bose ultras are top ANC every time so that must count for something, also I heard multiple good customer support giving replacements and discounts.
Don't you dare use the QC ultras on ios.
The sound quality vs android is day and night!...
They're way better on android
At first i was disappointed..then i tried them on android!
Lord!
Moral of story: ANC is way more important than Audio quality like tonality, Bass response, Mids and Treble part
Boss wins audio quality too , Both are very close tho
You are surely the only one to have 4h30mn with the Airpod Pro 2 in ANC mode
Sony XM5 for the win. Sorry.
Nah the Bose and Sony are equally as good.
Great job! Thanks for providing dB information that others don't.
Where did the data come from?
Bose added multipoint few months after this video.
The AirPods Do not fit in my ears... they fall out right away... It sucks! :(
👍
ThanksMuch! Mike O'Brien
I have the airpods pro 1 and they really hurt the outside of my ears, not sure if anyone of you ever experienced that, so I have stopped using them. How are the airpods pro 2 from a form and fit standpoint? Any one experiencing ear discomfort?
So Bose is better set of earphones while AirPods are better overall headset for calls and things etc…
I’ve had Bose and I’m not impressed. My earphones took many trips to service center, no global warranty and eventually my qc25s fell apart without me even using them. Biodegradable I guess.
I’d go with AirPods any time. At least the built quality with Apple products seems to be solid.
Very nice looking images ...& I'm not just talking about the buds.....be careful using comments like "I had a fan blowing on my face"....you might end up with a lot more gay subscribers 😅😅😅
6hrs ANC is still ridiculous on Bose having Sennheiser momentum 3 and Sony XM5 with 9 hours.
I’m a Bose QCE 2 user but I’ve used Airpods pro 2 also. You need a proper test and little bit of research before making videos like this.. because AirPods pro 2 lasts 5 hours 50 minutes ish with ANC not 4 and half. You’re literally talking as if this is 1st gen Airpods pro.
Another factor is different ears. The noise cancelling is far, far superior in the Bose vs (AirPods or XM5s) for me, I think because I have 'large' ear canals.
Yes. This is a common issue for me.
Bose sound great, NC great, comfortable, but they're hideous in every other way. The app is useless, it can't find the earbuds, disconnects. Now has multi point connections, but switching connections is not smooth and creates new bugs. I hate them so much now that I would throw them in the bin if they weren't so expensive.
Bose has multipoint now with firmware update
There is a certain sound limitation for Rock style music. Songs like "She-Greenday", in the chorus there is a lot of crackling. It's enough to be irritating. Otherwise, noise cancellation is the best.
no wireless charging and multi-point for a pair of 300$ earbuds in 2023.
Bose pls😂
Clearly, Mike is NOT a fan of Guinness... 8:45... Did that stash come with Bose or Apple? ;)
Just get blueparrot s650 truckers headset
Bose wypada lepiej leżeli chodzi i dźwięk i wytłumienie otoczenie podcxas biegania nie wypada
I just wish Apple would change the look/color of the AirPods, they just look like Q-tips, sticking out of peoples ears…
Why do people care so much about noise cancellation, I buy headphones for their sound Bass, Treble stuff like that!!!!!
Worst microphone and call quality uou can imagine. I m now only using them when i m on the plane. Work, or even at a less then dead silent place, i m using a good ol' powerbeats pro set. Rip off unless you are a mute and can't accept phonecalls or any kind of online meetings
I’m an audiophile, I got both of these and honestly……the Skullcandy grind fuel anc (orange insert) blow these out of the water. Hard to believe but it’s facts.
I am a music director from India
I would suggest AirPods if you have iPhone and Bose for android
Im the active person of me and my girlfriend, so i gave her my ear pods pro 2, and now i ordered bose, cause AirPods for me just fall out from a stand still, so cykling or rollerskating making the fall out all the time!
This is literally the video I wanted to see bc I ordered the 15 pro max.. but still undecided 😅😭 Great video thanks
If you have iPhone just get AirPods
@@rfezzie airpods are always sold out there and costco lol
@@aakashkaushal1167bro i have iphone and thinking to buy bose earbuds. is it right choice?
I cant keep AirPods in my ear. I’ve had every version of the pro and regular AirPods. I have the original Quietcomfort earbuds and they have good sound, ok noise canceling(I usually switch to my Quiet Comfort headphones on a plane) and they stay in my ear. Noise canceling is really only needed, for me, on a plane and I’ll probably just buy the QC Ultra after I see a few more reviews. Biggest concern for me will be the weight. If the new QC is lighter than the QC Ultra I’ll probably update to the QC. Microphone are not a consideration for me in 98% of my use
the new pros have differentsizes tho
This guy is getting some things wrong, the AirPod pros 2 have 30 hours of battery on the charge case and 6 hours of battery life with anc and transparency lol
What's that black ring and what does it do?
I want to have a ring that allows me to skip music.
Can we talk about all that beer 🍻 😂
5:16, interesting you mention the static because I experienced the same thing when they were connected to my Galaxy S9 FE tablet but not on my S24 ultra...?🤨 wonder why that is... probably due to the better hardware on the phone?
Just picked up the bose ultras. Superb sound quality but also have the hissing noice in the buds. Abit disturbing but only when I'm not listening to anything. And for the first time my airpods pro 2 is gonna stay in their box.
Awsome ANC also.
do u have connectivity issue with ultra ? because i have qc2 has connectivity issue
