Customer Ratings & Reviews

Love them. Have had them for at least a year. I use them at the gym mostly. They are comfy and stay in the ear. Sound quality and anc are very good.

I love this Product. The comfort, the noise cancellation, the sound and did I mention comfort? Comfort is so good, had to mention it twice. The sound quality is great and I can say Bose retains the title as King of Noise Cancellation. These are better than airpods in terms of Noise Cancellation and Comfort. But it is not perfect! As for every other tech product, here are the cons: 1). The case is way too big. I mean like way too big 2). If you only want to use one earbud at a time, you can only connect the right ear bud. You cannot connect the left earbud without the right one for some reason. 3). The connection is reliable but multiple devices switch is kind of not working properly. If these are deal breakers, you can look at others but if not, get these and you will be happy

I’m not a tech-y guy but I do love me some fun electronics to play with and these are by far the best I’ve had. Round sound every time… phone calls are easy to hear… controls on the ear buds themselves are so fast to learn and work so easy. Thank you Bose for putting out a fantastic item. Next question I know will be asked… how are they long term in your ear… answer is I’ve had them in my ear for 5 hours and not one complaint in it hurting or feel uncomfortable. Battery life is normal so no complaints there and I’ve had them for a few weeks and only charged them twice and haven’t changed my mind about them. Came from a Sony earbud and let me just say save yourself the struggle and go with Bose. Do it DO IT!!

Excellent ANC. As good as the Quietcomfort Headphones. Would definitely recommend for audiophiles. Feels bulkier than other earbud competitors in the market at a similar price but it is quite comfortable to wear. So if the form doesn’t bother you too much, definitely go for it.

these earbuds sound good, but they are too big and start to make my ears hurt. it’s amazing you can hear the bass and the highs in the mid range really well. For as big as the battery is the battery should last longer.for years.

I’ve owned every gen of Bose earbuds, AirPods, the Sony’s, and Powerbeats Pro. These are the best in the category in virtually every way. Best audio quality for all music types, with more bass than you expect from Bose without overdoing it. Absolute best for movies/tv, with immersive feel. Far and away the best ANC of all the buds. No leak, no hiss, and total silence. You should expect Bose to be the best at this, and while they weren’t first-to-market in ANC earbuds, the ANC is far superior to the others (worth the wait). If you’ve never had Bose earbuds before, you might not like the ear tips at first. They can feel weird. Trust me, you get used to it. Try the different size tips and give it a little while. Seamless sync with my devices, just as fast as Airpods with my Apple devices. Charges with USB-C and wireless. Case is a little bulky but who cares? Absolutely great product all around, well worth the marginal additional cost compared to other high-end options.

These bose headphones by far has the best sound quality and to EQ audio on the bose app is a game changer! Comes with multiple ear size fittings and that’s nice! A con that I do not like is that the left earbud is controlled by the right so when you are talking on the phone or listening to music and only want to use one ear you can only use the right side and that can be aggravating. Another con is if your phone doesn’t have voice isolation people on the other end of the call will hear mostly everything In the background making it difficult to hear your voice. but that could have been just me. All in all I love these headphones and plan to by the new ones!

I bought those one as a gift for my wife. She loved, and I love it a lot as well. She used in the iPhone and I used it in the Android, works good in both systems. Great quality, amazing level of configuration and excellent battery life.

After having the dubious privilege of experiencing this generation and the next of these headphones, I definitely recommend the OG QuietComfort earbuds over the QCII. While they are slightly heavy for certain activities such as running, insofar as they feel like they might fall out, they have mostly been quite reliable, and the sound is decent, albeit not as good as the next generation. On the plus side, I have never had connectivity issues with them, unlike their successor. One feature I quite like is that the charging case has a battery indicator, so you know how much juice you have left in the case.

Bose QuietComfort Earbuds deliver an impressive 4-star experience, primarily due to their outstanding noise-canceling capabilities. The in-ear design provides a snug fit, and the noise cancellation effectively blocks out external distractions. The sound quality is rich and immersive, with deep bass and clear highs. The touch controls are intuitive, allowing easy playback and call management. Battery life is decent, but slightly shorter compared to some competitors. The only drawback is the bulky charging case, which may not be as pocket-friendly. Overall, the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds excel in noise cancellation, making them a great choice for an immersive listening experience.

For me it’s not perfect yet but it’s not bad either. Sound quality is satisfying and the noise canceling is very good. It’s pricey though.

Comfortable, definitely a little wonky with the touch controls. Sounds quality is decent but they seem to be quieter than they were in the beginning.

I'm an Android user so my priorities are different than those of someone who is in the Apple Ecosystem. With that being said, these buds are fantastic at Noise Canceling(ANC) and Audio Quality, which is what I was looking for. The multiple Bluetooth connection would have been a nice touch, but if this is a priority of yours, then look elsewhere. I'm coming from a pair of QC 25 over the ear headphones and I can honestly say the audio quality is on par with those. The ANC exceeds the QC 25. It is crazy to say/think how much better the ANC is from these buds compared to over the ear QC 25, but it is true, the technology has improved that much. If you are someone who travels then this honestly sets the bar for ANC, it is that GREAT! Battery life isnt an issue, as I have never worn them for over 2 hours. They fit great and are comfortable to wear. I would say at the 2 hour mark you definently do need to give your ears a break, but what pair of headphones don't cause a bit of fatigue after a lengthy time with them on? They are so close to being perfect, so on to the CONS: I would have given them 5 stars if they would allow simultaneous Bluetooth connections. You also don't have the ability to choose the L or R earbud when you only want to wear one of them. You can only wear the R earbud if you choose to wear only one. The case is a bit chunky, they fit in my pockets, but it would have been nice if it were smaller. I am not someone who wears skinny jeans and I can see how that can be a problem. The buds themselves are bigger than other earbuds, but with all that ANC tech its understandable. The tradeoff for great ANC vs inconspicuous buds, is worth it IMHO. Maybe the next generation will fix these Cons but at the moment I am very happy with my purchase. I would highly recommend these if you want the best ANC and that deliver great audio quality Bose is known for. A definite and worthy upgrade if you are coming from the world of wired headphones like I was. You won't regret the convenience of true wireless!

Pretty decent value. Noise cancellation works well while mowing the lawn. Only cons are that I wish they were a little louder and that they are slightly bulky but overall, love them

They were very comfortable on the ear. Great sound quality. The aware setting was very nice to have since you can turn it off for noise cancellation.

I bought this as a gift for a special someone who likes to listen to music while working out. He really liked this and says the sound quality is great. The noise cancelling is right on the money. He called me using the earbuds and I couldn't tell he was using them. He sounded clear and he said I sounded clear. The comfort level is 10 out of 10 and they didn't come out of his ear while working out. He said he forgot they were even in his ear. I will be buying a pair for myself over the Airpod Pros.

I’ll start by saying that it’s very hard to give these headphones an “overall rating”, because they hurt my ears so much. However, I will look past that to compare them to the AirPods Pro and Sony WF1000XM3s, in case you have 1 or both of those and are thinking about getting these. I bought the AirPods Pro when they came out. I had the first AirPods which, although didn’t sound great, were very easy to use and carry, and I thought had a great microphone for phone calls. Although the Pros are much better than the original AirPods, I’ve always had a problem with them that I didn’t have with the AirPods 1: they fall of my ears. I just got the new Comply 2.0 tips for them yesterday, which prompted me to write this review. By the way, so far, those tips are great. They’ve made the Pros sound better, and have stayed in my ears. I also have the Sony WF 1000XM3, which, as much as I like them, also fall off my ears. The “ear falling” problem led me to try the Bose. Sound: I tried a number of songs on all 3. I streamed the music from Tidal Hi Fi, so they’re all at higher resolutions. I’ll list some here: 1. Are you even real? James Blake - this song sounded terrible on the Bose. Muffled to the point that I wonder if these headphones are working correctly. As you might have read, the Bose Music app doesn’t have an equalizer, so there’s nothing you can do on this one. On the AirPods Pro, the song sounded much better than in the Bose. On the Sonys, about 3% better than in the Pros. 2. Blinding Lights - The Weekend - This song came out great in all 3. Edge to Sony over the Bose, but not by much. It sounded tiniest on the Pros. 3. Morning Dance - Spyro Gyra. This is a classic smooth jazz song. The Bose won this round. The song was expansive, lots of small details came out, it was great. I also played a couple of Joshua Redman songs, and I would say the Bose sounded better on those. I feel that the Bose will probably play better jazz music, if that’s your thing. 4. Malamente - Rosalia. The Sonys won this round going away. Once again, the Bose sounded a bit muffled. Song was good on the Pros, but perhaps a little bit too trebly. 5. Paranoid Android - Radiohead. This song was really good on all 3, Bose was not that far off the Sonys. 6. The Only Thing - Travis. This was another song that the Bose couldn’t play well either. Once again the tinny, muffled sound came up. It felt like i turned the music down on the headphones (I didn’t). Definitely better on the Sony and Pros. Overall, on music playing, I would rate the Sonys number 1, especially if you use Tidal. For my taste, the “360 reality audio” does make songs sound better. The Bose are number 2, but not by much over the AirPods Pro with the Comply tips. The new ios update that added the spatial sound to the Pros with the Comply tips has made, to my ears, a huge difference. In fact, if you don’t listen to jazz, you might prefer the Pros. Microphone/Phone calls I did several blind test calls with my partner, so she could tell me which one sounded better to her. In all tests, she said my voice sounded “about 70% better” (her number) with the AirPods Pro. She said that my voice sounded “feminine” (I’m male) with the Sony/Bose compared to the AirPods Pro. I then tested the Bose and the Sonys with her as well. She said that the Bose sounded better. For the record, I did a call with my parents with the Bose, and they never complained that they couldn’t hear my voice well. They have complained several times with the Sonys (as well as other people). As for hearing phone calls, to my ears, the AirPods Pro sound more natural. I would say that the Bose are second. Phone calls are the Sony’s weakest link. If you want to use the headphones mainly for phones, as much as I love the Sony’s for music, their microphone is just not good. Fit AirPods Pro - the Pros have always felt comfortable to me. However, as I mentioned previously, the Pros routinely fall off my ears. They have fallen when I’m sitting on my desk, when I’m running, walking, or riding a bike. I NEVER had this problem with the original AirPods. The Comply tips arrived yesterday. I want to take them out on a run. For being in the house this past day, they’ve been a huge improvement. I’m glad I bought them. Sony - the Sonys fit comfortably in my ear. However, they will eventually fall off. This happens if I’m walking or exercising. I have to be checking them every few minutes. Bose - I will start with the good: they stay in my ears. I’ve tried them in the house so far, but they’ve been very stable. The bad: 2 things. (1) the tip flies off my ears. The small is too small to do anything. The medium and large just end up flapping, and have to adjust it. It’s very noticeable. (2) They hurt. They stay in my ear, but the seal is seemingly so tight that it hurts my earholes (the biology term is probably the concha). I used to have the old Bose Soundsport wired headphones, and the tip in those was incredibly comfortable and stable. I might be doing something wrong when putting them in, but this will probably lead me to return them. I won’t wear headphones, especially ones at this price, that hurt. Noise Cancelling: 1. Bose - they did a fantastic job with this. I stood next to the dryer, and I could barely hear it. My partner stood next to me to talk to me, and I couldn’t hear her either. If I turned it off to 0, I could hear her, but even then, the seal is so tight that it wasn’t fully perfect. On noise cancelling, these are far and away the best. If that’s the most important thing to you, stop reading the review and order them now. 2. AirPods Pro - I’ve always been amazed at how good the Pros block sound for their size. I’m looking forward to trying them outside with the Complys, as I think it will be even better. However, the Bose are better. 3. Sony - the Sonys block a lot of outside noise as well. I don’t know if it’s better than the Pros, but it’s right there. Hard for me to pick a number 2 here. Conclusion It’s possible that, if the Bose didn’t hurt my ears so much, that they could be the best overall set. I don’t like how some songs sound, but in others, it’s almost as good as the Sonys, which to me, are the standard. I actually have the Bowers Wilkins PX 7s, and I prefer how music sounds on the Sonys. However, given the pain on my ears, this is how I would rate all of them: 1. Music playing - Sony, Bose, AirPods Pro. 2. Phone Calls - AirPods Pro, Bose, Sony. I will note that I get complaints on voice quality when using the PX7s as well. 3. Comfort - AirPods Pro with Comply tips, Sony, Bose (VERY last). 4. Noise Cancelling - Bose (by a lot), AirPods Pro, Sony.

These buds are the best. I have tried galaxy buds, live and sport. I have also had beats. These are the the best. In all aspects of usability these are good for listening while exercising or even at work the controllability and responsiveness is unmatched. The sound is as always superb with separation of sounds. I listen to all genres of music and they do not disappoint. I highly recommend these buds they are easy to control and very comfortable and I wear them for about eight hours with short breaks in between. Samsung buds tend to fall out of my ears and beats just do not have the same sound as their counterparts (headphones).

replacement for (bulky) Bose headphones. cancels noise as advertised - as you would expect from Bose. love the (re)charging case. touch controls take a little getting used to and

Noise cancelling is incredible, and they're comfortable to wear for a long period of time. Only complaint is I wish there was a gesture for skipping forward to the next song.
