Bose QuietComfort Ultra (2nd Gen) earbuds review: superb ANC thanks to AI

With an updated design and new AI tricks to improve your listening experience, these $299 buds put up one heck of a fight

I liked the design of the original model, and now that Bose has tweaked it with a new guard to prevent earwax build-up, they’re easier to insert into your ears and stay in place. Bose has done a great job at optimizing the drivers it includes to produce high-quality, premium sound that’s reminiscent of wearing a pair of over-ear headphones. With no Find My Device support, integrated AI assistants, snazzy head-tracking gestures, or other technically impressive features, the QC Ultras remain the buds to get if all you care about is sound quality.
