    Serial numbers are not matching

    I bought a few of these and the serial numbers are not matching the box so I had to return them. I was able to test one and wasn’t convinced with the noise cancellation as I work at a noisy factory it didn’t fully block the environment.

      Hi there, thank you for sharing your feedback on the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds. We’re glad to hear you had the chance to test them, though we’re sorry to learn the experience didn’t meet your expectations. Regarding the serial numbers, each component of the earbuds has its own unique identifier. The charging case has a serial number specific to the case itself, while each individual earbud also carries its own serial number. The serial number printed on the box corresponds to the entire unit, which is why they may not appear to match at first glance, but they are indeed part of the same unit.

      If you decide to explore Bose products again in the future, we have helpful guides available. For tips on enhancing noise cancellation, you may refer to this article: https://bose.life/4lpZZ6T, which explains how to adjust the Noise Cancellation settings for the best performance. Hope it helps!

      We appreciate you letting us know about your experience with the fit and the automatic changeover feature. At Bose, we’re committed to delivering products that combine comfort, performance, and ease of use.

      For the fit, you have the flexibility to mix and match the stability bands and ear tips included with your earbuds to find the combination that best suits your preference and comfort. This simple adjustment often makes a big difference in achieving a secure and personalized fit. You can find detailed instructions for both features in our https://bose.life/4bsIQq2.

      Regarding the automatic changeover feature, if you’re referring to switching between devices, please make sure the Bluetooth on the other device is turned on and ready to connect. This helps the earbuds recognize and switch seamlessly.

      Hello, thanks for leaving your thoughts on the QC earbuds. I'm sorry to hear you experienced bad quality calls and issues with Bluetooth connectivity. Both of these problems can be attributed to poor signal between the smartphone and the buds. I recommend keeping the phone with you and within 10m/33ft when paired. This will help ensure a clear connection and consistent quality.

      If you need any assistance, please get in touch via https://bose.life/3ET4mCs.

    These ear buds say noiseless but i can still hear in background when having them on. Also i don't like the fact that when i remove the buds with placing them back in the dock, it does not automatically disconnect.

      Hello, if you are still hearing external noise whilst wearing the earbuds, you may need to adjust your ear tip and stability band sizes. When using the correct size the ear tips will create a seal in your ear canal which will improve the noise cancellation. You can view more on this here: https://bose.life/3PFDMCEhttps://bose.life/3Vmo7vg.

      Regarding the earbuds not disconnenting when removing them after use. you will need to place both earbuds in the charging case and then close the case. The status light glows according to the earbuds battery level. The earbuds will disconnect from your device and power off. Should you need additional support, please contact our technical support team who will be happy to assist you. You can find their contact information here: https://bose.life/3rykPZR.

    I have had these for less than a month and they make a weird crackling sound when noise cancelling is activated, the main reason I purchased them. Nothing resolves, but through some research it looks like its not uncommon.

      Hi Ashley, thank you for sharing your experience with the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds. We understand how disappointing it can be to invest in new earbuds and hear crackling when noise cancellation is activated, especially since that feature is one of the main reasons many customers choose them. The QuietComfort Earbuds are designed to deliver rich, balanced sound with world‑class noise cancellation, and we want to make sure you can enjoy that performance without interruption.

      While we appreciate you sharing what you’ve found, this type of crackling is not something we expect or recognize as a common behavior of the earbuds. To help address the issue, we recommend following the troubleshooting steps in our support guide, which are designed to resolve sound disruptions and restore clear sound performance. You can access the guide here: https://bose.life/4l7JiwS

      We’re confident that once these steps are followed, you’ll be able to enjoy the powerful noise cancellation and high‑quality sound that Bose earbuds are known for.

    Terrible fit. The noise canceling was great but the slightest missfit of the ear piece or bump would turn off. The controls are super sensitive and overly complicated. The plastic ear shield for nouce cancelling and to turn on off when not in ear constantly came lose or lost.
