QuietComfort Earbuds - True Wireless Bluetooth Earbuds with Active Noise Cancellation and Mic, USB-C Charging, IPX4 Rating, Up to 8.5 Hours of Playtime, Black

These are good! I am coming from some older earbuds, namely the original pixel buds pro earbuds. I felt that those earbuds hit a better price point than their successors, the pixel buds pro 2, did. They recently started to give me some trouble and the battery has been degrading quite rapidly, so I know I needed to look for a new set. These Bose buds caught my eye as the largest limitation with the OG pixel buds was their ANC performance. I use earbuds a lot when performing yard work, so drowning out various tools and traffic noise were top of my priorities. Additionally, I did not want to spend 200+ USD on something like the AZ100 or the more premium offers from Sony/Bose. These have filled those requirements nearly perfectly. I am very impressed with ANC performance, they seem very similar to my Sony WH-XM3s. This is a very impressive feat for in ear buds, but I know that the Sonys are a few generations old at this stage. I can say that they handily outperform the pixel buds. This seems especially true with higher frequency sounds. Overall, very impressed with how they handle noise suppression/ANC in busy environments as well. Voices seem to be suppressed quite well. I was also presently suprised by sounds quality. I think that these sound a little better than the OG pixel buds do. Clarity is better, especially in the mids. These also tend to get really loud, especially compared to the pixel buds. I notice I am often not using more than 50% of the volume available to achieve normal listening volumes. Bass is somewhat bloated, overall similar to the Sony WH-XM3s, but this is overall a pleasurable tune and can be adjusted with a 5 band equalizer. There are some potential downsides. While the buds themselves feel high quality, the case feels relatively cheap and oversized. The OG pixelbuds have been rock solid for me. Their case has survived numerous drops and being mistaken for a dog toy a time or two. The Bose QC case feels much lighter and the cover feels much thinner. The hinge also does not feel nearly as robust. With that said, I do appreciate that they sell a replacement charging case for 60$. While it was touched on, I do also want to mention that the case seems just a little too large. It's about 50% thicker than the pixel buds or airpods. It's still very pocketable, but I do not think I will carry them with me at all times like I did with the pixel buds. The intrusiveness of the larger case in conjunction with my concerns about durability make me hesitant. Overall, these are really nice earbuds. I have not experienced any connectivity issues using the latest update. They connect and play quickly as expected. They have had great stability in ear, even while running. I think these strike a very good value for money where spending more may have diminishing returns. I think this is especially relevant as it seems that all wireless earbuds tend to have a lifespan of a few years before they are end of life due to wear or battery degradation. It's hard for me to justify spending more on something I can only expect to last 2-4 years.

I love these things! I needed some new earbuds for a specific application. I had a fitness test coming up for karate and specifically needed earbuds that would stay in place. These have exceeded my expectations! Not only did they stay in for my 3 mile runs, but also through pushups and planks. I also wear them at work doing home repairs. I have never had them fall out yet. Somehow, even with all of that, they are still comfortable to wear after a while. They come with a couple ear sizes and support sizes to customize it for you. On sound quality, I really didn't know what I was missing until I used these. Combining the noise cancellation with the great sound quality was really something. I could swear I understood song lyrics better that I had listened to forever and never quite got right. The battery life is great, and so is the charging case! Highly recommend!

First, I want to say the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds 2024 are easily the most comfortable I’ve ever had. The sound is great (not a audiophile here, so strictly an objective opinion) And the noise cancellation is, far and away, better than expected. All this is why I’ve tried everything to work through a major design flaw. All the reviews praise these buds, only mentioning (almost as an aside) that there are connection issues. Also, many purchaser reviews play down this problem – only commenting about one side or the other temporarily losing connection (an occasional glitch with many brands) What they’re missing is that all of these reviews seem to be using the buds while engaged in some activity (eg: gym, running, walking, etc). When sedentary (ie: motionless, lying down or reclining) the Bose Buds will consistently lose their connection. I’ve even tried to disable in-ear detection (the option to do so not offered by Bose). Using tape over the in-ear sensor, I’ve found that the buds still seem to require some motion to “stay alive”. I am currently awaiting delivery of my 3rd replacement earbuds and am really hoping that at some point Bose will try to do something about this in a future firmware update. -- Update -- The following (in brackets) I submitted to Bose today to try to solve the issue I was having << I am now on my 4th pair of Bose QuietComfort Earbuds (gen 2) 2024. This latest replacement has proven to be the best functioning so far. The primary problem, however, still persists. In doing some testing I believe a possible a clue to the cause of my most nagging issue has shown up. My primary use of the earbuds is for meditation (ie: while wearing them my head is almost entirely motionless). It appears that the buds are designed to detect movement and that a lack of motion causes one or both of the buds disconnect periodically. Testing this hypothesis during a few listening sessions, I made a point of moving my head every 10 minutes. By doing so, I was able to listen without interruption through several tests (one of then for an hour & 45 minutes). Of course, having to concentrate on moving my head is no acceptable solution. >> - - After reviewing my query, I was informed that this is, indeed part of their design and nothing can be done. The fact that it’s a problem that many have mentioned in You-tube reviews and online comments was not addressed. My conclusion is that Bose is now a company trading on its past reputation and should be avoided. Thus - for obvious reasons - I've reduced my rating to 1 star (zero is not an option here)

I was gifted a pair of these Bose Quiet Comfort Earbuds by a close friend of mine. I have been using Air Pod Pros both the 1st and 2nd Generation exclusively and nothing else. I use Foam Tips on my Air Pod Pros and have been very happy with the sound quality, noise cancellation effectiveness, and comfort with the Foam tips. I ordered some Foam Tips for these Bose QC Earbuds and I'm not sure if it was just the brand or simply how the tips mount to the Bose QC earbuds but I did not like the Foam Tips that I purchased for these ear buds. They did not create an effective seal when inserted into the ear canal and it did not matter if it was S/M/L because of the lack of the seal creation it rendered the noise cancellation useless. I have had these about 3 days now and have been giving them a good test run. The silicone tips in medium that come attached to the Bose QC earbuds have actually been comfortable to wear in my ears. I don't understand why they have been so comfortable to wear seeing that Apple Air Pod Pros silicone tips hurt my ears. The silicone Tips on the Bose QC create a great seal while in my ear canal and the noise cancellation is every bit as effective as my Air Pod Pros using the Foam tips. If you go read earlier reviews on the Bose QC earbuds you will see all the negative reviews about connection issues, mic issues, etc. Bose revamped the Bose QC earbuds correcting all the issues from their earlier versions of the ear buds. In addition to that they came out with an app to compliment the ear buds. In the Apple Store it's called Bose QC earbuds. I charged the ear buds to 100% in the case when I first opened them up in the box. I downloaded the app from the Apple App Store. I went to Bluetooth on my phone and connected the Bose QC ear buds to my phone. Open the case and it should put them in pairing mode automatically. I placed the ear buds in my ears and opened the app. I connected my ear buds to the app. Right away I saw there was a software or firmware update. While the ear buds are in your ears and the app is open and you have good signal run the update took about 3 minutes. You can customize everything on your ear buds to your personal preferences in the app. It is extremely easy to do in the app. You can also name the earbuds in the app and on your phone. The mic quality has been good and no one has complained to me yet. The battery life has been great. I think at $149 you will not find a better pair of noise cancelling ear buds. They are performing as good if not better than my Air Pod Pros. The one feature that I have been enjoying is the voice command feature to control things. You can turn your camera on. Maybe you want to take a selfie or get a group photo. Wearing your ear bud(s) you can say Hey Headphones...(pause)...Take Photo and the iPhone camera will take a picture. It is very slick. Great value for the money! Considering I got mine gifted from one of my buddies these have exceeded my expectations. They are every bit as good as my Air Pod Pros 2nd generation. These will be my primary ear buds moving forward. Because Bose revamped them, added an app to compliment them, and kept the name the same there is a lot of confusion by customers. They do not understand the issues with the earlier versions have been corrected. I did not even know until I started stumbling onto videos discussing all of this stuff. Give them a try you will be pleasantly surprised. This coming from someone who has only used Apple Air Pod Pros for last several years. I know Bose is good because I have used many of their over the ear noise cancelling headsets in the past. QC1, QC2, QC25, QC35, QC45. These QC earbuds with their noise cancelling are every bit as good. They sound great. Hope this review helps someone in their decision making.

I love these. The extra soft band around the wider part gives better noise cancellation than other brands. It also causes additional issues with getting the connection needed in the case. And it can move out of place and can be difficult to get back just right. The sound is better than my other earbuds by leaps and bounds. I have no problems with connecting or pairing. It will auto connect to your phone though if you don’t get it all the way into the case. Functions are programmable which is great. I do wish you had the option to turn off the pause when the earbud sensor realizes it isn’t in your ear. (Considering it will still connect to your phone as noted.) but sometimes I want one earbud for a reason. Value wise, compared to say Raycon the sound, volume, control, comfort, Noise cancelling twice as good so not unreasonable. I have had zero issues with pairing or switching between devices. They are very comfortable. They feel like they will fall out, but I haven’t had that problem. The reason for the dropped star is just the issue with getting them to connect to the prongs in the case which means it can connect to your phone at random, and/or doesn’t charge. Also if it doesn’t connect/reset in the case, then when you pull them out, only one will connect to your device. (Right? Can’t do that when I want to, but random, yep.) love the sound, the noise canceling, I know that extra buffer makes them better but the case needs to be designed better to accommodate that.

If i could give this a 4.5 star i would mainly docking it half a star for the cancellation issues and mic. Otherwise an outstanding set of ear buds able to compete with the best out now. Shopping for ANC earbuds have become more and more competitive and to stand out requires execution at the highest level. I found the bose quiet comforts to stand excellent in many of the categories most people will care about but lacking in some key hardware like the microphone keeping it from being the perfect set for most people. The earbuds are very easy to set up and if you download the accompanying app you will unlock many controls to tune the sound and hardware UI for this device. The ear buds themselves fit great into the ear and seal the canal and outter part of the ear giving you a great seal and generating a much better ANC quality than most other ear buds at this price range. Now if you are familiar with the tech the anc will take in sound and kind of counter it to create the ANC and for the most part the bose QC do a great job at that. the only issues is some cancellation sounds are audible and quite loud like to wind so i probably wouldnt recommend these for runners or walkers, but sitting in a office or plane these are perfect. Comfortwise is another highlight for these earbuds they will sit in your canal and a little on the outside but feel very weightless in the ear and even over extended periods will not trap too much heat. I barely noticed they were on when working out in a gym and really give immersion when the ANC is on. The control are very easy to use on the earbuds just tap and hold on them for different uses that can be controlled on the app and turned on and off if you dont want them. The battery life is also quite impressive as these are larger units i got quite a lot of run time with them usually in the range of 6-8 hours on listening to music which is quite amazing. Now for probably the biggest downfall of this pair is the microphone. The sound is very hollow and tinny with a lot of distortion. It is understandable to the other party but very artificial in quality giving you more of a robot tone. I wish the sound could be clearer and more natural but understandable for ear buds. It may be intereference from the ANC mic but man it is truly the weakest point of these otherwise amazing ear buds. Pros: Excellent ANC, Excellent Sound, Lightweight, Long battery life for listening USB C charging case Negatives: ANC not good on runs and walks (mainly against wind), Bad Mic

I've been a Bose fan for many years, which is why the areas of failure on these (and all QuietComfort buds after the first generation) are so frustrating. I really expect better from Bose and pray they deliver the next generation more thoughtfully. But... First off the GOOD parts: 1) Sound quality (when connection is solid) is great. These have a really full sound with healthy bass. 2) Battery life is a noticeable improvement over other generations. 3) Touch controls and customizability. You can do a lot just with touch on the flat side surface. 4) Wireless charging of the case. This should be table-stakes at this point and it's wild that other gens didn't have it. 5) Noise isolation on microphone. These are miles ahead of other buds in terms of excluding background noise. 6) Noise cancelling in general is good, although I don't feel that it's better than the Gen1's - could be because the ear fit is much worse than the 1st gen. 7) Ability to switch devices and be connected to multiple devices is very helpful. 8) Auto-shut-off after a certain amount of time is great for battery saving and the fact that you can turn them on with touch is also awesome. That part is a great upgrade. Now the BAD: 1) The fit of these is so annoying and uncomfortable. I haven't found an generation has fit as well as the Gen1's with the expanded fit kits. These loosen from the ear canal constantly and can literally pop out if you're chewing or making those high exertion faces at the gym. And they don't offer any expanded fit kits for the silicone ear tips. 2) Speaking of the ear tips - the little bands that surround the ear bud are terrible. They shift out of place every single time I use the buds. You have to rotate them around like you're trying to open a safe lock just to get them in the right spot. They often come off IN my ear when I remove the beds from my ear canal. They also just fall off the bud if they're in your pocket, making it so easy to lose them. If they're out of place when you try to put them in the case to charge, they won't fit. 3) Connectivity issues. Half the time I remove them from the case, only one of them turns on/connects via bluetooth, and I literally have to put on earbud back in the case and then back in my ear to get it working. Also, I can have my phone in my pocket and the connection starts to break up. 4) The initial connection on setup took me like 7 tries. How has Bose allowed such a terrible set up experience?? 5) The case is fairly crappy and feels cheap. If you drop it, everything is exploding everywhere. It's small enough (though very round vs. flat) and it's lightweight, but could be better. Those are the big ones. And hey, at the end of the day, I still own two sets of these and use them religiously. But please Bose, take the feedback and do better next time!!!

Noise canceling is absolutely phenomenal with these. And I think this is the first pair of ear buds where the person on the other end of a conversation could actually hear me through the microphone. Most of them are horrible. In terms of comfort, after 20 minutes I did find them irritating. I cannot imagine wearing them for hours on end. Unlike my JBL set I purchased these do not seem to want to come out of the ear and I felt comfortable moving around or bending over without fear of them falling out of my ear. You can order A lanyard for them as well for a little extra security. I remember dropping an earbud on an airplane and what a nightmare trying to retrieve it in between the seats! I will live with these for a little while. My only complaint so far is comfort. Sound quality is decent but certainly not like a really high quality set of ear phones. I guess the one nice thing about earphones is if someone goes to talk to you they understand you can't hear them whereas with ear buds people don't realize you have them in noise canceling mode and you can't hear them. These were very difficult to connect to my laptop. Have not yet tried pairing them with my smart phone. Certainly much more difficult than other bluetooth devices I've tried. There were many failed attempts and I had mono sound at first. At this point I would not give them more than three stars as they do have issues. Five stars for noise cancelation though as that's really outstanding. Update: After less than a week there's been major problems with connectivity, and I think I'm going to send these back as I can figure out no way to do a hard reset or how to get around the problem. I have a cheap set of JBL's that were only $40 they stay connected without an issue, although the sound quality doesn't touch the Bose. Its too bad, because otherwise they're decent. Update: After just a few days these are cutting out very frequently. My much cheaper JBL set by comparison does not do this at all, although the sound quality is not as good. I'm going to see if there's anything I can do to remedy this, but if I cannot resolve it I will be returning. I can also say these are very finicky and I find myself having frequent problems trying to get things paired correctly and connected. Again my much cheaper $50 JBL set has no such issues and it's as simple as clicking on the icon and presto it's connected, no cut out, no issues. Add nearly three times the price I expect a lot better of the Bose.

After by samsung buds died on me, I researched a lot and these were really highly rated. Arrived in no time, price was very reasonable and wow the sound is amazing! Bass isn't wobbly, the high notes clear and while shaking my booty whilst cleaning the house they don't fall out! I downloaded the bose app, and the connectivity was instant, even without the app. But its nice to have to adjust things. Battery life unsure of yet, they were 100% out of the box and after 4 days of 2 hours listening still going strong. Love them!! And the purple is pretty snazzy too!

I have a few things to mention about this product. Firstly, make sure the earphone is securely pressed into your ear; otherwise, it will pause when the sensor isn’t activated. I don’t mind this, as I actually prefer it over my other earphones that keep playing and wasting battery when I’m not listening. In terms of comfort, these earphones are excellent. I can wear them all day without any complaints. However, when I’m in a busy place with no sound playing, the noise cancellation can feel slightly uncomfortable—but that depends on individual sensitivity. While it doesn’t completely block out very loud noises, I’d say it cancels about 95% of ambient sound when walking on the streets or at home. The sound quality is outstanding. You can really hear the highs and lows, as well as the different instruments in a song. I never noticed these details when using cheaper earphones—it’s like rediscovering music. One minor downside is that switching between devices isn’t always seamless. Sometimes it connects instantly, other times it doesn’t. But for me, that’s not a dealbreaker. Also, if you’re next to someone talking, I highly recommend turning on ambient sound mode—otherwise, it’s nearly impossible to hear them. The noise cancellation is that effective. Overall, this product delivers on both comfort and sound quality, making it a great choice.

Good quality, works well, nice color

Good quality sound, comfortable

Los auriculares por 120€ que los compré no creo que haya nada mejor . Se oye con un sonido contundente y claro ,la cancelación de ruido es brutal . Para ir al gimnasio y hacer deporte son una opción top . No tengo problemas de conexión ni de nada como dicen otros que tienen . Lo primero que hice fue actualizarlos con la aplicación y perfectos. No tienen un sonido plano audiofilo más bien es un sonido cañero . Para disfrutar de música en estado puro tengo otros en casa de diadema y mucho más caros . Pero estos para escuchar por la calle ,deporte y darles caña van muy bien ,son cómodos y no sientes que se vayan a caer . Los volvería a comprar sin pensarlo . Aprovecharía al precio que están !
