    Low Quality for Price

    The buds will be returned. The sound quality is sketchy and there is lots of static. Too much money for the quality. The INC is horrible and the static is unbearable.

      Hello,

      Sorry to hear you have returned your product. This is not the expected experience with your headphones. These sleek, new wireless earbuds are designed with breakthrough acoustic innovations and the world’s most effective noise cancelling. Together, they produce crisp, clear audio and rich, deep bass over a bed of virtual silence.

      In future, if you ever have any product concerns, do not hesitate to contact your local Bose product support team. An agent will be glad to resolve your query.

      Kind regards,

    I really didn’t like these due to the awkward fitting in my ear. They hurt after about 3 minutes even with the earbuds and I tried all the other bud tips too.

      Sorry to hear that you are experiencing issues during calls. I would recommend ensuring that the earbud is correctly orientated. You can view this support article https://bose.life/3qg55WW, to check for the best orientation to allow the microphones to pick up your voice. If you find that the earbud is moving during use, try changing the ear tips for a more secure fit.

      Hello,
      We're sorry to hear you're returning your headphones. Whilst there is no adjustable EQ, the QuietComfort Earbuds’ breakthrough innovations and exclusive acoustic architecture let you hear everything you love in high-fidelity audio — no matter how loud or soft you play it. On most earbuds, bass disappears when you lower the volume, leaving your music sounding tinny and small. We solved this with our volume-optimized Active EQ. It boosts highs and lows for consistent balance no matter how loud or soft you listen.

    BOSE QUIET COMFORT BUDS

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Best earbuds out there. I’ve wanted them long enough for someone to build better buds, but it has not happened in the years Bose Quiet Comfort has been out. Controls are intuitive, noise reduction is the best, and design is second to none. Beside that, the comfort, like in the name, is not just can’t feel comfortable, but I have not had one fall out of an ear yet! They fit fabulously! One of the three sizes that are included has to be perfect for you. Don’t listen to your friends talking you into a different set, try these and my review will make complete sense. Have a nice day!

      Hi! Sorry to hear you feel that way. To ensure maximum noise-cancellation effectiveness, test all included ear tips for a perfect fit. Double-tap the left earbud, or use the Bose Music app to manually adjust your noise-cancellation levels. Further troubleshooting can be found at https://bose.life/3G18Cj2.
