Pairing Issues Tanks the "Affordable" Option
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Oh man, when put next to Bose's Ultra model these just don't compare. I expected a slight difference in noise cancellation and sound quality--which I think there was--but the pairing/connectivity issues were really the reason these were not worth keeping. They are a decent option if you are looking for something more affordable within the Bose family... but I feel like there has to be a model under a different brand that skips over the pairing issues and has comparable sound in a similar price range. I will be going for to the QuietComfort Ultra (2nd gen) next.

Great sound and noise cancellation!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these as a replacement for the Bose QC-II, and they have been great! The sound is better than the QC-II and the noise cancellation is too notch. I wore them on a recent flight and they blocked out all the surrounding sounds. The best part is being able to customize the functions on each ear bud and adjusting the treble and bass! These won’t let you down!

Great for listening and ANC
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound and ANC are top notch. Bose needs to work on call clarity and better microphones./ People have a tough time hearing what you are saying on calls. Would recommend for just listening and ANC not for people who talk alot on the phone in my opinion.

Posted .Hi Mike,
It is great that you're liking the top notch sound and active noise-cancelling. Please make sure that the earbuds are correctly positioned in your ears when worn, as incorrect positioning would affect voice pick up on calls. We have a guide to follow on our website: https://bose.life/3D6PTWv We'd love to help as well, so please reach out: https://bose.life/contact

We truly appreciate your feedback and are glad to know you’ve noticed how effective the earbuds are at shutting out noise, they’re designed to consistently block distractions so you can focus on what matters most.
To get the best feel, we recommend toggling between Quiet Mode (for full noise cancellation) and Aware Mode (to let in some of your surroundings). As for the connection issue, it may be due to the earbuds not being in proper pairing mode or other setup factors.

Check for compatibility with all your devices
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have been a loyal Bose customer for many years. The sound quality and customer service have always been worth the extra cost. However this is my first disappointment. I need my headphones to connect to our TV. We have a 2020 Samsung. The Bose earbuds will not connect to the older bluetooth version. If our TV was 10 years old I would understand this, but not with a 5 year old TV.

Posted .Thank you so much for being a loyal Bose customer over the years—we truly appreciate your continued support and trust in our products and service. We're sorry to hear about your recent experience and completely understand your frustration. While many 2020 Samsung TVs do support Bluetooth, compatibility can sometimes be affected by differences in Bluetooth versions or profiles. Some TVs may not support the specific Bluetooth audio profile required by certain earbuds, which can lead to connection issues.
That said, we’d love to help you find a solution. Here are a few options you might consider:
-Use a Bluetooth transmitter: These small devices plug into your TV’s audio output and can bridge the gap between older Bluetooth versions and your Bose earbuds.
-Check for firmware updates on your TV, as manufacturers sometimes improve Bluetooth compatibility through software.
