The Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds 2nd Gen Deep Plum put Bose’s top noise-cancelling earbuds in a dark plum finish that looks almost black indoors and shows its red-violet tone in daylight. Bose rates them at up to 6 hours per charge with Immersive Audio off, and the case in the box charges on a Qi-compatible wireless pad as well as over USB-C. CustomTune calibrates the sound to your ears every time you put them in, and the case and buds share the same plum colour.

How Deep Plum looks
Deep Plum is one of the darker finishes Bose offers for the second-generation Ultra Earbuds. Under office lighting or in a car it reads as a very dark wine colour, close to black. Outdoors, and on the glossy parts of the stem, the red and violet come through. The case follows the same colour, so the set looks matched on a desk or a café table. A dark finish like this hides small scuffs and pocket marks better than White Smoke, which makes the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds 2nd Gen Deep Plum a practical choice if the case shares a bag with keys and coins every day.
Noise cancelling tuned by CustomTune
When you put the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds 2nd Gen Deep Plum in, Bose CustomTune plays a calibration tone as the power-on chime, measures how your ear shapes that sound and adjusts playback to match. There are three default modes, and you can add or remove modes in the Bose app. Quiet Mode gives full noise cancelling. Aware Mode lets outside sound through, and ActiveSense in Aware Mode applies noise cancelling to sudden loud sounds such as passing vehicles or a blender. Immersion combines full noise cancelling with Bose Immersive Audio, which spatialises music so it seems to come from in front of you.
Battery life and charging
Bose gives two numbers, and the difference matters. With Immersive Audio off, the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds 2nd Gen Deep Plum last up to 6 hours per charge; with it on, up to 4 hours. Bose tested in Quiet Mode at 75 dB with the EQ set to zero. The case holds up to three full charges, 20 minutes in the case gives up to 2 hours of playback, and a full charge takes 2 hours. The case charges wirelessly on a compatible third-party pad, centred on the button at the back, or over USB-C. No pad or power adapter is included.
Calls, fit and connection
SpeechClarity uses AI to filter out your surroundings and wind on calls, and the second generation adds AI background noise suppression. Microphones inside and outside the buds also serve the noise cancelling. The Bose Fit Kit includes three sizes of eartips (S, M, L) and three stability bands (1, 2, 3). Each bud weighs 0.016 lb, about 7 g. Bluetooth 5.3 gives a range of up to 30 ft, about 9 m, with A2DP and HFP, and multipoint lets you stay connected to a phone and a laptop at the same time. The Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds 2nd Gen Deep Plum carry an IPX4 rating against sweat and splashes.
Who Deep Plum suits
The Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds 2nd Gen Deep Plum suit someone who wants flagship noise cancelling without plain black, but still prefers a colour that stays quiet in an office or a meeting. It pairs well with black, grey, navy and burgundy clothing and with a leather bag or watch strap. Frequent flyers from Dubai who carry the case in a jacket pocket will find it keeps looking clean for longer than a light colour. If you want something brighter, Midnight Violet leans more purple, and White Smoke is the light option.
Who This Is Not For
The Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds 2nd Gen Deep Plum are not for swimmers or anyone who needs dust protection: IPX4 covers sweat and splashes only. They are not the longest-lasting earbuds either; 6 hours per charge, or 4 with Immersive Audio, is shorter than some rivals. There is no wall charger or wireless pad in the box, and Bose does not list aptX or other high-resolution codecs. A dark plum case is still a colour, so if you want earbuds that disappear visually, pure black may suit you better.
