The gen 2 Bose Ultra Earbuds’ ANC is top-notch, but their chunky design is anything but

Bose Ultra Earbuds Review

The second-generation Bose Ultra Earbuds have top-notch Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), but their design is chunky and unimpressive.

While the noise-canceling improvements are significant, the new earbuds don't differ much from the first generation.

Bose has built its modern reputation on noise-canceling performance, offering the best in class for a good two decades, since the launch of the QuietComfort headphones in 2000.

The $299 Bose QuietComfort Ultra second-gen earbuds aim to surpass the competition with improved sound and call quality, which were previously issues with the QC earbuds.

Author's summary: The Bose Ultra Earbuds have great ANC but lack design improvement.
