Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds (1st Gen) Diamond 60th Anniversary Edition – Noise Cancelling, Immersive Audio

The Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds Diamond are the first-generation QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds dressed in the pale, pearlescent Diamond colourway Bose created for its 60th anniversary. Bose describes the Diamond Collection as limited edition, and the change is cosmetic: inside, these are the same 2023 earbuds with CustomTune noise cancelling, Immersive Audio and up to 6 hours per charge with Immersive Audio off (up to 4 hours with it on).

The Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds Diamond and the 60th Anniversary

Bose was founded in 1964, and for its sixtieth year it picked three products from its Ultra line for a shared Diamond finish: the QuietComfort Ultra Headphones, the Ultra Open Earbuds and these Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds Diamond. Bose calls the colourways limited edition on its Diamond Collection page.

That matters if you care about owning the anniversary piece rather than a standard colour. If you want matching earbuds and headphones from the same collection, it makes sense to buy them together while stock lasts.

What the Diamond Finish Looks Like

Bose describes the finish as pearlescent. In practice the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds Diamond read as a soft silver-white that shifts slightly with the light, rather than the plain matte white of a typical plastic earbud. The case follows the same tone, so the set looks like one object when it sits on a desk.

It pairs naturally with silver or white phones and laptops, light-coloured clothing and metal watch straps. Next to a black phone it stands out more, which some people want and others do not.

Living With a Light Colour

Pale earbuds show wear sooner than black ones. On the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds Diamond, skin oils, makeup and the dark grime that builds up inside pockets are easier to see, especially around the eartips and the case hinge. None of this affects sound, but it affects how the set looks after a few months.

A simple routine keeps the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds Diamond clean: wipe the case and earbud shells with a dry, lint-free cloth every few days, take the silicone tips off now and then and clean them gently, and avoid carrying the case loose in a pocket with keys or coins. Bose’s IPX4 rating means the earbuds handle sweat and splashes, but they should not be rinsed under a tap.

Who Picks the Diamond Edition

The Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds Diamond suit someone buying earbuds as a gift, a Bose fan who wants the anniversary finish, or anyone whose other gear is silver or white. They are also a sensible choice for an office where black earbuds disappear on a dark desk and get left behind; the pale case is easier to spot. If you want something that hides dirt and wear, Black is the practical alternative.

The Rest, in Brief

The Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds Diamond keep every feature of the standard 1st Gen model: Quiet, Aware (with ActiveSense) and Immersion modes plus custom modes in the Bose app; Immersive Audio in Still or Motion; CustomTune calibration; multipoint for two devices and up to 6 in memory; Snapdragon Sound with aptX Adaptive; Google Fast Pair on Android 6.0 or newer; and nine fit combinations from three eartips and three stability bands.

Battery on the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds Diamond is rated at up to 6 hours per charge with Immersive Audio off and up to 4 hours with it on, with up to 3 extra charges in the case; a 20-minute charge gives up to 2 hours. The case charges over USB-C, and Bose does not list wireless charging for it.

Who This Is Not For

The Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds Diamond are not the pick for anyone who hates cleaning earbuds — the pale finish shows marks. They also do not add anything technical over the other 1st Gen colours; you are choosing the finish. Wireless charging is not listed for this case, IPX4 does not cover swimming, and Bose now sells a 2nd Gen model, which is a different product.
