"They add essential features that were missing from the 1st-gen product, and do something better while retaining the same price tag. However, they also retain some signature Bose quirks that I wish didn't bother me as much as they do. I traveled with the Bose QC Ultra Earbuds 2 on two trips, and while they haven't replaced my Pixel Buds Pro 2 completely -- for reasons I'll explain later -- there's a lot to like here. Here's how it went."
"They are designed for outdoor use and provide all-day comfort in a familiar style. The earbuds themselves feature a guard to manage earwax buildup, which Bose says helps make it "easier to capture and remove earwax after prolonged use." I haven't faced any earwax issues with the new Bose product, but this design also gives them a snug fit. The Bose QC Ultra Earbuds 2 aren't the most aesthetically pleasing earbuds and are larger than the competition."
Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds (2nd Gen) make incremental but meaningful improvements over the first generation. The earbuds prioritize comfort and outdoor use, offering all-day wear and a snug fit with a guard to manage earwax buildup that Bose says makes it easier to capture and remove earwax after prolonged use. The design is larger and less aesthetic than some competitors, but provides reliable retention during travel, commutes, and exercise (IPX4 sweat resistance). The second-gen model adds essential missing features while keeping the same price, yet retains some signature Bose behaviors that may bother certain users.
