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 offer top-notch Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), but their design is somewhat chunky.

While the noise-canceling improvements are notable, there is not much 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 noise-canceling improvements are great, but there’s not much to set them apart from the first gen.

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