Features
Acoustic Noise Cancelling technology.
Powerful microphones in the wireless earbuds monitor environmental sounds and produce the opposite signal, cancelling out unwanted noise. Feel free to pursue your passions uninterrupted with the world’s most effective noise cancelling technology.
High-fidelity experience.
Music. Videos. Podcasts. It’s not just what you listen to. It’s who you are. Volume-optimized Active EQ technology boosts highs and lows for consistent balance with bold sound and rich bass no matter how loud or soft you play whatever you’re into.
From Quiet to Aware with a double tap.
With a double tap of the left earbud, choose Quiet Mode for full noise cancelling or Aware Mode with ActiveSense technology to hear your music and surroundings at the same time, while the sounds around you are brought down to a more comfortable level.
Truly wireless earbuds, reliable connectivity.
Think about which song to play next, not your wireless connection. Bluetooth earbuds connect when removed from the case and keep track of the last seven devices you’ve paired. Bluetooth 5.1 gives you a strong connection to your device within 30 feet.
Up to 6 hours of battery life.
Listen for up to six hours on a full charge. Out of power? A quick, 15-minute charge will give you up to 2 hours of play time. When you’re done, place the earphones in the case for an additional two full charges. When it’s time, recharge the case via the included USB-C.
Simple touch controls.
All it takes is swipes and taps to change the volume, flip between noise cancelling and Aware Mode, and answer calls. When you’re done listening, just pop them out and Bose QuietComfort Earbuds will pause your music automatically.
Clear calls. Wherever you take them.
Tiny mics in these in-ear headphones work together to focus on your voice and filter out most of the noise around you. So, your calls always sound clear — whether you’re at home or on the go.
Secure & comfortable fit.
Feel great every time you listen to Bose QuietComfort Earbuds thanks to their soft silicone StayHear Max tips. They’re designed to provide comfort, stability and passive noise-blocking performance.
Get off to a great start with the Bose Music app.

Bose ear buds
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love these ear buds!! They mute out sound so well!! They fit in my ear perfectly. I can’t believe how amazing they are. I use them for watching videos while my husband sleeps and to drown out noise and when they are in I literally can’t hear him if he says something. One down side is if you lay on your side with them in they are very uncomfortable. I would have loved to have gotten ones for sleeping which is what I was originally looking for. I’m still not disappointed but still keeping a look out. If your looking for something that fits perfectly in your ear and doesn’t feel like it will fall out if you get up and move around. These are them! If your looking to drown out your matés snoring these are them! Just awesome buds and they hold a charge for a long time.

Great for movement!
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These in-ear headphones are super comfortable and the charge lasts forever! The best feature is being able to switch from fully noise cancelling to being able to be more aware if I need to listen out for anything. The fit is pretty good and I love that I can throw them on a mag charger and save a cable from being used. They do work well while exercising! I haven’t had one fall out yet! And I appreciate how compact the case is and how pretty and neutral this color is!

Good earphones, but I would go for the new ones
||Posted .

Microphone doesn't work well in loud places.

Flawed but Fantastic Sound
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am searching for the perfect all-purpose earbuds but I don't think they exist. I have bought and used 15+ different TWS earbuds from many brands. Bose has a fantastic pair of earbuds here for many occasions. If you just want to zone out on your music or a movie you won't find a better pair of earbuds. If you are looking for versatility and seamlessness you may want to keep looking. Sound: As I mentioned, there may not be a better set of buds. This is the richest sound I have found in an earbud. It beats out any I have tried and that list includes Airpods Pro, Airpods, Galaxy Buds Pro, Galaxy Buds +, Galaxy Buds, Reduxbuds, MPOW, Betone, JLab and more. These Bose QC have great bass and clear highs. It is easy to get absorbed into my music! Connection: So they paired easily to my phones, I use a Galaxy S21 Ultra for my personal phone and an iPhone 8 for work. The Bose Music app installed on both phones and made good connection to the buds. Switching between devices however, is a bit cumbersome. You can't just go to the bluetooth settings on the device and tap to connect. You first need to disconnect from the device you last had connected then move forward with your connection to your desired device. This is annoying for me because I switch back and forth frequently. Most other earbuds I've used you can just tap on it in bluetooth settings and it will automatically disconnect from one and connect to the other. Convenience: These are not the most convenient form factor out there. The case is huge. It is easily 2-3 times the size of Airpods or Galaxy Buds. It really isn't pocketable. Another deal-breaker for me is that you cannot use either earbud independently. If you want to use only one bud you have to use the right bud. You can leave the case open (and stay within range of it) and use only the left earbud but there are no mics in the left earbud!? I like to switch back and forth between ears (for phone calls at work) due to ear fatigue but you can't with these. Another issue with convenience is one I have only noticed with my iPhone, which means it might be an iOS issue, but when I have a call coming in I have to tap on the "speaker" button and choose Bose in order to talk through the earbuds. If my phone is in my pocket it really defeats the main purpose of hands-free technology. Comfort: They are pretty comfortable to wear. The silicone is soft and comfortable. I like the ear hooks for stability in the ear. ANC/Transparency Mode: The ANC on the Bose QC is off the charts good. Everything gets very quiet with no hum. It is, by far, the best ANC I have found in an earbud. Transparency mode is very good. Airpods Pro does transparency mode a bit better, it just feels a little more natural with the Airpods Pro. The Bose QC does a better job of making the ambient noise sound more natural than any of the Galaxy Buds, including the new Buds Pro. Price: The price of these $279 is really what is going to return these. I can't justify nearly $300 for these and a good set that meets my needs for phone calls and device switching. I'd love to keep them for travel or just listening to music. The ANC is likely spectacular for an airplane. I just need the versatility.

The Best and Worth the Higher Price
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Prior to trying the Bose QC earbuds I purchased the Samsung buds pro. The buds were good but the Bose QC earbuds are far superior in the ways that matter to me. I'm a professional live sound engineer and have been into audio reproduction products for over 30 years. I say these sound great. The reproduction of the frequecies the human ear can hear is recreated very well by the little earbuds. Some pro audio engineers dont like Bose products because they say Bose cheats on how they make things sound good. I say those people can get over it. After compairing numerous headphones and earbuds, its very simple, these sound good and work well. No headphone device is perfect at stopping ambient sound but these do a great job at minimizing the outside sound. My favorite feature is Activesense. While in aware mode (can hear around you) this feature automatically adjusts the volume level of the sound around you if the ambient noise gets loud. I use this while working so I can hear around me for safety but if I turn on a loud tool then it starts to bring the volume down. Quickly after turning off the tool the ambient volume comes back up allowing me to continue hearing around me. The sound of the ambient sound coming through is also very realistic. Others I've tried sound different than the original, they sounded overly nasle or muffled. The only two negatives I have about these is the size and weight. Would be nice to see them make these in a smaller design with less weight. The other negative is the lack of playback controls. Play/pause is available all the time but thats it. You have one programmable option for skip, back ect. The other brands I tried had all available all the time. Note, if you get these be sure to use the recommended Bose app and update the firmware if yours need it. The latest firmware adds features they didn't originally come with. Not huge changes but more refined ways of operating some of the features. Now for my only big problem I've had with my experience. It has nothing to do with Bose or the performance of the QC earbuds. I purchased these and immediately went on a trip out of the country. 3 days after the Best Buy return/exchange policy ended i had a problem with the right earbud. It developed a sound quality issue. Best Buy would do nothing for me. I know it was out of policy for them to honor an exchange but it would be nice for Best Buy to provide that extra mile customer service. Unfortunately good service is almost non existent everywhere and Best Buy is no exception. This isn't the only problem I had with my earbud purchase in regards to best buy. When purchasing my original earbuds I didn't get what I wanted because the in store sales reps didnt know much about the available products. Better training for the sale staff is also needed. The sales personel should be knowledgable on the products they are responsible for selling. I had many questions about the available products but few were answered with useful information.

Q: QuestionIs there something like a "Locate My Earbuds" feature? Like a GPS track my device app?
Asked by QuantumPixie.
- A:Answer The QuietComfort Earbuds do not have a Find My Buds feature.
Answered by Bose Support
Q: QuestionCan you access all features without using the without the Bose Music app that accesses data collection and account information like in the 700's? Not interested to share use information with Bose.
Asked by visitor18.
This question was asked about the related product: Bose - QuietComfort Earbuds True Wireless Noise Cancelling In-Ear Earbuds - Soapstone
- A:Answer After calling Bose support the answer is NO. You must sacrifice your privacy and agree to data collection by Bose in order to use all of the settings, updates as no features. You can do a simple pairing via Bluetooth, however this will limit the settings and features. There are many excellent alternatives that are not this intrusive. Therefore I do not recommend this product. I will be returning mine

- A:Answer Yes, with Apple Watch Series 5 paired with iPhone XS-my devices-I can control volume, skip forward and go back from the watch. That was my concern also. However, if I am doing it correctly, to listen directly from music downloaded on the watch, I have to disconnect from the iPhone, pair with Apple Watch, then listen. Hope that helps.
