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 feature top-notch Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), but their design is bulky.

While the noise-canceling improvements are notable, there is little to distinguish them from the first generation.

Bose has a long history of delivering exceptional noise-canceling performance, dating back to the launch of the QuietComfort headphones in 2000.

The $299 Bose QuietComfort Ultra second-gen earbuds aim to top the competition again.

Author summary: Bose Ultra Earbuds have great ANC but a bulky design.
