What reviewers say

Distilled from the video reviewers — the score, what they praise, where they push back.?

Endurance Peak 3
no reviewer coverage yet
QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds
3.4/5
Reviewers praise
  • Outstanding active noise cancellation, particularly effective against low-frequency rumble like jet engines and trains
  • Comfortable secure fit with multiple ear tip and stability band combinations that stay in place during movement
  • Strong battery performance at six hours per charge with ANC enabled, twenty-four hours total with case
Reviewers push back
  • Bass is heavily overemphasized by default, requiring EQ adjustment that the three-band equalizer struggles to address fully
  • No wireless charging support despite premium positioning
  • No multi-point connection—users must manually switch between devices in the app
Reviewers agree these deliver exceptional noise cancellation and comfort but stumble on tuning and missing conveniences.
— best for: Travelers and commuters who prioritize best-in-class noise cancellation and secure fit over tonal accuracy will find these excel at blocking constant ambient noise.
Reviewers disagree · QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds?

One reviewer found the immersive audio feature transformative for certain music, while another dismissed it as unimpressive and laggy

These are my favorite headphones and I've been using them since the gen 1 version. I travel to very poor countries a lot and these just survive everything, are reliable, have a long battery life, they stay in your ear. They don't have ANC, but they just naturally block out loud noises to where I can sleep on planes, and when I use them around turbines and jets or on loud worksites it just function random guy · JBL

coming from using the galaxy buds pro ear buds for the last few years, which seem to have gone down in quality, these are so much better. Comparable or better sound quality. the noise cancellation is WAY better. i work in a noisy office where each desk is touching the next, and am usually surrounded by chewing, clicking, talking, laughing, and construction noises all day. These block ALL of that o maddie · walmart.com
