    Sorry but it’s hard to appreciate a review without you actually HAVING a pair of the new buds to review. I understand your reasoning but all the reviews I’ve seen actually have a pair of them to compare them with the old ones.

    Love their ANC and comfort, but until Bose fixes the nightmare connectivity issues, I won't buy another pair. I have the QCII, but I bought the Sony XM5 just because the connection is so much better and the ANC is good on those too. If I could have the comfort and ANC of Bose, the reliable multipoint connection of Sony, and the mic/sound/volume quality of Airpods, that would be the perfect earbud for me.

    completely agree. more than that, I would add that it is the earbud 2 with a software 'upgrade', and I'm convince it is to settle the earbud2 fiasco (they Bose, know and acknowledge the numerous issues of connectivity, synch, one ear issue, etc, because they have a semi auto procedure to send back your earbud2 and they will send you back the ultra, so called brand new. i have the bad feeling that it could be the same device but with software upgrade/fix). it was my 1st time I bought an earbud, and first time I bought Bose, and for them this is the last time I guess. Better bet on solid, sure value with very low risk of malfunction or disappointment, I think of Sony xm5 and the other main ones, as for Bose: never again

    I switched from sony mx4 to qc2 due to having issues with the left ear, it basically stopped working after about 6 moths. I was very happy with the bose I until I learned about the poor Bluetooth connectivity issues, the buds basically disconnect constantly from the app and you literally have to put the earbuds back inside the case to see if next time you take them out, they connect to the app.
    Edit:
    I also hate the non off ANC option. I it makes the buds use more battery that ne necessary.

      Ok I have them and tried them out. The design is typical Marshall and I like it, the case has a nice quality feel to it, a nice rubbery texture but in a good way. The earbuds have an app with plenty of features; A.N.C, custom EQ, Transparency mode with a slider to fine tune it, a battery protection mode; that doesn't let it charge over 90% and you can turn this off if you wish to.
      Over all, I'm happy with them, my only gripe is, I wish they went a little louder.
      I would recommend these.

I was about to order a pair but when I heard that there is no wireless charging, I passed and went with the Sennheiser Momentum TW3. I wouldn't be getting the same level of noise cancelling that the QC offers, but I am pretty sure the the Sennheiser MTW 3 sound will sound better.

    It's really an insult to those who bought the previous models, instead of doing the necessary software updates to fix existing problems, Bose just brings out the same products with new colors, and really tries to make people believe that these are new products, and you have to pay $50 more for a case to have wireless charging, bul*&hit 🤬
