Bose - QuietComfort Earbuds II True Wireless Noise Cancelling In-Ear Headphones - Soapstone

Just got them delivered, I previously had Airpods Pro 1st generation which lasted for a while, now that it is time to switch on 2nd generation launch, was little confused as Bose has launched QC II almost the same time. So try it why not? Until i listen to the first ever song on full volume in these, i did not realize how much i missed the bass centric music which Bose is quite good at. I'm loving these, heard that Apple pros 2nd gen also improved the bass quality, i did not try those as I'm keeping these anyway. Fit: The default ear tips that came with the package fit perfectly, I tried to do some workout and running, they were well in place. Sound Quality: I absolutely love the crisp quality of sound and sometimes the thumping bass which is the main reason to buy these. ANC: With these buds On and playing music, i felt like i was the only person in the gym. Battery: I am going with the product specifications as i did not count on how many hours i listened to and haven't tried draining the battery either. Bose App: The "Transferring Update" will take sometime as mentioned in the guidelines, but you can still listen to music as it runs in background. Adjusting EQ is easy in the app which is missing in iOS world. Cons: 1. sometimes while switching between Quite and Aware modes, noticed that one of the earphone mutes or lost sound. 2. Wireless charging, I'm not a fan of this though as instead of placing it on a coil, I just have to plug it to USB. But this is something missing. 3. Multi point connection is something i miss from the Airpods pro by owning QC II's. Yes, I have iPad, iPhone and Apple TV.

Sound quality is excellent like I expect with a Boss product. Have that signature Bose sound and an adjustable EQ in the Bose app. Bose went with a more AirPod design for these. The fit is comfortable, especially after going through the extra wingtips and ear tips to find the right combination. These are light enough to wear for extended periods without issue. The charge case is a bit bigger than some earbuds I’ve used but still pocketable. The ANC is AMAZING and I love that they’re adjustable. The audio pass through is very good as well. You can add your own presets for ANC level as well through the Bose App. Now the negatives. Using the Bose app for updates and EQ on iPhone is terrible. It’s slow and non reactive at times. Also have had some connection issues with my iPhone where I’ve had to put one or both earbuds back into the case to restart the connection. I did update them in the Bose app (wasn’t sure if it worked because it kept freezing) but it says they’re up to date now. Hopefully the connection issues will be fixed now. Only time will tell. Touch controls on the stem are decent but not the most responsive I’ve used. That leads me to say if you’re an iPhone user I would recommend sticking with AirPods Pro if you want that Apple convenience of every thing “just working” every time. Still deciding whether to return these for the new AirPods Pro 2 for that convenience alone. The sound quality of the first gen AirPods Pro weren’t on the level of these Bose so I’m curious if the second gen improved the sound quality anywhere near these. If you can live with not having the “Apple” ease of use and can live with some connection issues (again new product might improve over time) the sound quality and ANC are amazing.

I love the new smaller design, the custom fit, and of course the sound quality of these earbuds. There’s definitely more sub bass present in this new version, so genres like Hip-Hop & EDM sound amazing. The EQ in the Bose Music App works great too so you can personalize the sound to your liking. Bose took the first gen and improved it in every aspect. The noise cancellation is “God-Tier” as YouTuber Flossy Carter puts it lol. The only problem is that it does not support wireless charging
