2nd Gen Bose QC Ultra Headphones now have fewer microphones
In the 1st gen Ultra Headphones there were 12 microphones, now there are only 10.
For those who have already bought the 2nd generation, please test if these issues that people experienced with the first version are present or not:

Probably more expensive that what you are looking for, but I always find that spending a bit more in the short term means you don’t end up spending more on replacements in the long term - I have a pair of Bose QuietComfort Ultra’s and I love them - very comfortable, the sound quality, noise cancella

Bose Quietcomfort Ultra Earbuds ARE WEIRD for Phone Calls
I invested in the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds, expecting top-tier performance given their premium price. While the audio quality for music is commendable, the call functionality is severely lacking.
During phone calls, especially in outdoor or noisy environments, my callers consistently report

'Higher end' noise cancelling earbuds feel so good
I was able to get Bose noise canceling earbuds (Bose quiet comfort ultra earbuds is what they are called if anyone is wondering) and being in any louder spaces now feels so much more better when it comes to sensory stuff with my hearing (previously I was using Loop earbuds and also bulky headphones

HELP: Bose QC Ultra 2nd Gen or Airpods Pro 3?
I had Bose QC Earbuds Gen1. They lived through almost daily use for like 4 years. So after them I got the QC Ultra 2gen and i love them. It’s been a year and i have no complaints. Microphone is worlds ahead compared to previous models and sound is much better. In my experience the ANC is Bose is unb

Noise canceling headphones?
I’ve been using an older Bose QuietComfort Ultra model and the noise canceling is honestly great. I mostly use it on flights and it blocks out almost everything, like crying babies, engine noise, etc. My husband will mention about the noise after and I genuinely didn’t notice anything. That said, ju

24 Hours with the QuietComfort Ultra Headphones
Thought this might help some potential buyers. I tend to look for different things in wireless headphones than most people.
Comfort
Amazing. Absolutely no complaints. Will review after longer listening sessions. These are probably the most comfortable headphones I've worn.
My ears stick out quite

TIFU by wearing noise-cancelling headphones at the wrong time
The Bose Quiet comfort ultra over the ear headphones are pretty amazing. They let me sleep undisturbed on a 12 hour flight next to a shrieking toddler, but they are really expensive. They do periodically go on sale for about 50% off tho. I think the Quiet comfort NOT ultra are essentially the same t

The bass is out of this world
What an objective piece of shit headset. As someone who spends far, far more time with headphones than average (I travel for work; 150+ flights a year), you DO NOT want them this loud with that much bass. Fast way to get tinnitus/hearing loss. High quality active noise cancelling (ANC) is king. Redu

Need headphones recs please
These are quite expensive but I absolutely love the over ear Bose QuietComfort Ultra. I have issues where over the ear headphones make the top of my head hurt from pressure or pain on my ears from the squeezing. These are quite literally the only ones that don’t do that for me. I wear them for HOURS
