Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Bose QuietComfort Gen 2 has successfully addressed several issues found in its predecessor, the QC Ultra, making it a standout in the premium earbuds market. Here's a breakdown of the key improvements and overall performance: 1. Enhanced Multi-Point Connectivity One of the most significant upgrades is the 100% improvement in multi-point connectivity. The QC Gen 2 finally fixes the persistent pairing issues between laptops and cell phones that plagued previous models like the QC Ultra. Now, switching between devices is seamless, making it a much more user-friendly experience. Additionally, the inclusion of a wireless charging option is a convenient and modern touch. 2. Top-Tier Noise Cancelling When it comes to noise cancellation, the QC Gen 2 is near the level of its top-tier sibling, the QC Ultra. It effectively cancels out both low and high-end noise, making it ideal for various environments. Whether you’re on a busy street or in a quiet room, the noise cancellation delivers impressive results. 3. Improved Audio Quality The audio quality has also seen noticeable improvements. Each instrument is now clearly distinguishable, giving users a richer listening experience. Whether you're a music enthusiast or just looking for clear, detailed sound during calls, the QC Gen 2 delivers on both fronts. 4. Superior Microphone Performance Another major enhancement is the new microphone, which performs much better during calls in noisy environments. It picks up voices clearly while minimizing background noise, making it ideal for business professionals or anyone who frequently takes calls on the go. 5. Price and Design Trade-offs One minor downside is the bulky case, which feels a bit cheap. However, given the $180 price tag, it’s understandable that Bose may have cut costs in certain areas. For the overall performance and features packed into the earbuds, this trade-off is reasonable. Conclusion Overall, the Bose QuietComfort Gen 2 earbuds are a fantastic choice, especially when compared to competitors like the iPhone Earbuds Gen 4, Sony Linbucks S, or Jabra 10 Elite. Despite the slightly cheap-feeling case, the improvements in connectivity, noise cancellation, audio quality, and microphone performance make these earbuds an excellent value for the price. Highly recommended!

Just picked these up for Blk Friday. Wow! They are awesome daily driver buds. Longer battery than ever. Useing them for the gym & sleeping. PROS: -Super loud -INSANE ANC -super bass -crazy value -wireless charge case -Super comfortable CONS: -a little bulky. -case is WAY too big -no onboard swipe stem controls -windows 1998 App design -trancparancy mode could be a little cleaner. OVERALL: 8/10 i love them! compaired to my QC ultra buds these are incredible value. I will say. If you like to control your buds via stems, you’ll never beat the QC ultra & airpods pro 2

I am still learning them but so far, they have been great. The sound is seriously like no other. When both are in, they give a true "Surround Sound" feeling. Download the apps so you can customize them to your liking which was also an added plus. And the comfort. Although very comfortable, the comfort is average. They do not fall out when working out honestly that's about it. I was very underwhelmed with the packinging. I was expecting a sleek blacked out box with a raised "Bose". It is far from that. The case. Very lightweight which is both beneficial and problematic. Pro: Easy to carry and takes up minimal space. Con: If you drop the case, your pods are rolling everywhere. I don't know if it's the magnet but overall, the case gives flimsy. Lastly, the fact that I cannot track my pods is crazy.

They stay in really well because of the silicon surrounding portion. Use them for runs and working outside, they never fall out. They are also really comfortable and offer great sound. Another big bonus is the ANC and Aware modes which are really nice.

Great earbuds, never liked earbuds before these. They usually fall out of my ears but these don't, they also come with 3 sets of different sizes compared to other brands. Can be used for shooting with the application on Quiet mode but any caliber above a 9mm probably need some better ones. But overall love the earbuds and the charge lasts very long on them.

Great sound quality for audio books, music and phone calls! I wanted an alternative to the Apple Air pods, this was a great choice. Long lasting battery life and charges quickly. Fits comfortably/snug in my ears, doesn't hurt or slide around. A little steep in price but worth the purchase.

I’m really impressed. The sound quality is super clear, the bass is strong without being too much, and the noise-cancellation is on another level. They’re comfortable for long use and the battery life lasts a long time. If you want great sound and something that feels premium, these are definitely a good choice. Highly recommend!

What can I say? It's a Bose. The battery life excellent. Sound awesome. Very comfortable for hours and it won't fall off. All pros and no cons. Be sure to try out all eartips because there's only one that is perfect for your ears.

Let me preface this by saying I am an audiophile and love music. These are the best Bluetooth earbuds I've heard for under 300$. The noise cancelling is on par with other earbuds around this price. What separates these from the others is the true sound they have. It's not muddy. At all volumes its a pure sound. Would recommend to anyone. The only knock on the star is the fact that the case feels on the cheaper side compared to others at this price point. That is a fair trade off for the quality in sound. Battery life is great. Comfort is next level. If you feel they hurt at first, just stick with it a couple days and you will get used to them. They have an extra rubber that really helps hold them in and keep the sounds on point.

These Bose Quiet Comfort earbuds are superior to my older Bose noise cancelleing earbugs in terms of fit, sound, and noise reduction. Unfortunately the new Bose software is a little quirky in connecting the earbuds to bluetooth compared to the prior version. However once paired they work great.

I recently had the opportunity to use the earspot bose earphones, and I must say, they are exceptional. The sound quality is outstanding, providing a rich and immersive listening experience. Additionally, the comfort level is impressive, making them suitable for extended use without any discomfort. The design is both functional and aesthetically pleasing, adding a touch of elegance to any outfit. Overall, I highly recommend these earphones to anyone seeking high-quality audio performance. Thank you to Aidan and best buy

Bose CQ earbuds fit really good and doesn't fallout during my physically active day at work. Long battery life to get me thru the day before needing a recharge. Charge case is a bit large for my liking but maybe its cause of the battery size it has in it. Able to charge earbuds about 3 times. Sound is amazing! Customizing the sound to my liking is so easy to do. Button function took me awhile to understand and get used to, but after awhile it was pretty simple. For the price of these earbuds, you cant go wrong.

These just replaced my Sony XM5 earbuds mainly for the secure and comfortable fit and not having to deal with the foam ear tips. Pros: sound, comfort, secure fit, wireless charging, price, very effective noise cancelling, promise of spacial audio. Cons: Strong wind noise seems to be prevalent on Boise earbuds including these which keeps me from using these for biking, etc. I would think Bose would have wind noise figured out by now since they are king of noise cancellation for the most part. Battery life does not seem to be as good as listed even at less than half volume. And the left earbud proximity sensor can be finicky with certain ears like mine if not placed a certain way. Making sure to place the back of the left earbud upward instead of downward seems to fix the issue. This is probably how they are intended to sit in the ear and probably not an issue for many but other reviewers have had the same issue.

Great sound quality, noise cancelling works really well, holds a long charge. Only problem is the touch controls can be pretty finicky, the buds will pause over nothing and disconnect pretty frequently

Like the sound quality. The battery has good battery life, stay in ear well and don't get ear fatigue.

Great sound & fit. One of the only drawbacks is connectivity if you don't have the case after removing them from your ears for a bit. This is my third set and it seems to be consistent for the brand.

I switched from the Sennheiser CX Plus True Wireless Earbuds to the Bose QuietComfort, and the noise-canceling is no a joke. I like how it can make the gym environment incredibly quiet. The earbuds fit really well and are very comfortable for long work out or even sleeping with them all night. The ability to personalize the EQ, touch controls, voice commands, and other options through the app is fantastic. The bass boost feature makes it sound like there’s a built-in subwoofer, which I love as a bass player.

I got these after returning the live beams from JBL. The sound is cleaner and they work well with my apple products. The fit while bulky it is comfortable. They aren't AirPods but they are comfortable and the battery life is great . Transparency is great on these things and as bulky as the case is it's not as bulky as the Bose sport case and the case stays charged longer than that one which is a far way from these. If you have long audible listening sessions these are for you. You have to use a different Bose app to use it. I like the simplicity of these. Quality ANC and finally a weird eq feature but it's better than nothing. Really nice headphones for the price

Great fit and sound. Suprisingly comfortable to have in my ears for a longer period of time and they are secure.

They're great ear buds with great battery but for me it lands the depth and crispy sound I'm looking for. Its silent mode is dope and they fit well I would recommend this for someone that need a good pair of ear buds thats not super expensive so yeah give these a shot
