The Bose QC Ultra Earbuds White Smoke are the second generation of the QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds, Bose’s top true wireless model, finished in a soft, slightly warm off-white. Compared with the first generation, Bose added AI-based noise suppression for calls, a case that charges wirelessly, an improved ActiveSense Aware Mode, case battery reporting in the Bose app and the option to switch off the touch controls. The core stays the same: adjustable noise cancelling tuned to your ear by CustomTune, and Immersive Audio that places the sound in front of you instead of inside your head.

A light colour that matches light gear
The Bose QC Ultra Earbuds White Smoke are not a stark, glossy white; the finish is a muted off-white that sits naturally next to white or silver phones, a white MacBook charger, a light watch strap or summer clothing. Of the colours in the family, the Bose QC Ultra Earbuds White Smoke are the ones that look most like a piece of everyday tech rather than a statement, and the details of the case and the buds read more clearly than on the darker finishes. The trade-off is honest: a light finish shows pocket lint, makeup and skin oil sooner than Deep Plum or black, so a dry microfibre cloth in the bag is a good habit. The eartips and stability bands are removable and can be cleaned separately.
Noise cancelling that adapts to your ear
Every time you put the Bose QC Ultra Earbuds White Smoke in and power them on, CustomTune plays a short tone and measures how it reflects inside your ear canal, then calibrates the sound to that shape. Noise cancelling is adjustable, with Quiet Mode for maximum isolation and Aware Mode when you need to hear the street or an announcement. In the 2nd Gen, ActiveSense in Aware Mode was improved: it reduces sudden loud sounds such as traffic or an appliance motor while keeping you aware of what is around you. For the best result with the Bose QC Ultra Earbuds White Smoke, Bose recommends wearing both earbuds together for the best noise cancelling.
Immersive Audio and calls
Immersive Audio spatialises the music so it seems to come from beyond the earbuds, closer to a pair of stereo speakers in a room, and a Cinema Mode preset is available for films and series. For calls, the Bose QC Ultra Earbuds White Smoke add AI-based noise suppression: SpeechClarity uses noise-rejecting microphones to filter background sound and wind so the other side hears your voice rather than the cafe around you. All of this, plus the EQ and the option to disable touch controls, is managed in the Bose app.
Battery life and the wireless charging case
Bose rates the Bose QC Ultra Earbuds White Smoke at up to 6 hours per charge with Immersive Audio off, or up to 4 hours with it on, measured with A2DP streaming at 75 dB, the 3-band EQ at neutral and Quiet Mode. The case holds up to three full charges, a full recharge of the buds takes about 2 hours, and 20 minutes in the case gives up to 2 hours of playback. The case of the Bose QC Ultra Earbuds White Smoke now charges wirelessly on a compatible third-party pad: centre the button on the back on the pad and a solid amber LED confirms charging. A charging pad and a power adapter are not included, only a short USB-C cable.
Fit, connection and water resistance
The Fit Kit contains three pairs of eartips (S, M, L) and three pairs of stability bands (sizes 1, 2, 3), so you can find a combination that seals well and stays put. Each bud measures 3.0 x 1.24 x 2.49 cm and weighs about 7.3 g. The Bose QC Ultra Earbuds White Smoke are rated IPX4 against splashes and sweat. On the Bose QC Ultra Earbuds White Smoke, Bluetooth 5.3 with a range of up to 9 metres (30 ft) connects them, and multipoint lets them pair with more than one device and switch between, say, a phone and a laptop. Bose lists the A2DP and HFP profiles but does not list specific audio codecs on the product page.
Who This Is Not For
The Bose QC Ultra Earbuds White Smoke are not the best pick if you want a finish that hides dirt: the light colour shows marks sooner than the dark options. Battery life drops from up to 6 to up to 4 hours with Immersive Audio on, which matters on long flights. No charging pad or power adapter is in the box. IPX4 covers splashes and sweat only, not swimming or dust. Bose does not publish codec support on the product page, so anyone who chooses earbuds by codec should look elsewhere, and the price is high next to good mid-range noise cancelling earbuds.
