The arrival of the QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds was a surprise, since they replace the barely-a-year-old and Award-winning QuietComfort Earbuds II. At this top end of the wireless earbuds market there’s some serious competition, not least from the Sony WF-1000XM5 and Apple AirPods Pro 2, both of which can be found discounted, especially around big sales events.

The Ultra’s design is pretty much identical to their predecessors save for a tweak to the finish on the outer stems of each earbud and to the way the stability bands attach to each earpiece. On the top edge of each bud is a small notch which helps you to line up the bands more easily and lock them in place more securely.

The Bose tips are super soft and, although they don’t burrow into your ears, they still manage to maintain a great seal. You just slide and twist them into place and they sit there – during testing, the general consensus is that they are more comfortable than the Sony WF-1000XM5.
