These earphones are not for everyone. If you only like BASS and want it overdone because of the style you listen to, these are the earphones for you. But if you are an audiophile or someone who wants to hear all of the music the way it was intended to be heard ...this is one of the worst choices on the market. The mids are completely muddied, and even with the EQ, you can't get rid of the overpowered bass enough to give you a clean result. The unit also has connection problems and sound issues that randomly happen along with the app that is slow. It's just not the quality I'm used to getting from others. But again if Bass is what you want only...this is your earphone or if ANC is the thing above all the rest...then this will be your tech. Just don't look for it to be anything more. Also (* no venting for those who hate earphone that don't have it )

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!

Recently exhanged Apple AirPod 4’s for these after the AirPods kept falling out while working out. I do not have that problem with these. They hold firm in my ears while still being comfortable. They sound great as you’d expect from a Bose product, and I like that these have noise cancelling and wireless charging features.

The earbuds had a great first impression on me and I do still love them. My only complaint is it has been super frustrating to have to constantly reset them due to this constant beeping/chirping sound when and the only way to reset is with the earbuds themselves. I wish with the price the case it self could help with resets because having to leave Earbuds in while they are nonstop beeping just intensifies everything and makes it difficult to reset especially when it’s not doing what it supposed too. Since having them I’ve had this issue a ton and what I saw is it picking up on other interferences. Again, for the price that really shouldn’t be an issue I’ve haven’t had any headphones that have interference issues and with people using earbuds like this for work and there being a ton of interference around it should be better. I hope this doesn’t keep happening and if it does it would be nice for the reset steps to work…

Bose gets it! These are the first ever Bose earbuds and I love them. Thanks for the price drop cause they're usually way pricey. Sound Quality is top of the game!

I loved my headphones, very good quality, they sound good, they are very comfortable. I love them.

These are amazing! Sound and feel is the best I’ve ever purchased.

I try almost all the earphones available The bests: B&W Pi8 Sennheiser Momentum 4 Bose quietcomfort ultra Sony XM5 Then: Galaxy buds 3 pro Nothing ear 2 Pixel buds pro 2 AirPods Pro 2 Jabra elite 10 OnePlus buds 3 and now this ones The great: comfort, battery life, and price The good: sound quality (but with a calibration), ANC, and connectivity. The bad: calibrate the sound to get the most of them and silicones are low quality Overall: I recommend this earphone to any regular user. For an audiophile: mid sound quality is not great even after the calibration. Regular users: you will not notice the difference unless you stream over 1021kb/s. Spotify, youtube music, apple music (unless use lossless format), pandora, amazon music, and iheartradio stream lower quality audio, so it not noticeable. You have to stream or play on lossless, FLAC, aptX Master, CD-quality or better quality to notice a difference.

I want to like these. They sound pretty good (not QC Ultra or Airpods Pro good, but better than anything from Anker at least), the ANC is close-to-Ultra great, and they're so comfortable that I can sleep on them all night. However, I have several problems with connectivity and battery life. The buds would disconnect completely after about an hour of use. They simply go dead and you have to long-press them to turn them back on. Also, the battery life doesn't last as long as advertised. After one of those post-hour disconnections, I checked the charge level on the buds, and they were down to 70%. This is with volume at 10%, ANC on, flat EQ, baseline settings. Maybe I got a faulty unit. I want to like these buds, but they need to work out the bugs.

I am a pixel user and have been using the pixel buds pro for 2 years. I was going to buy the pixel buds pro 2 but I bought these instead. They are actually 50 dollars less. These sound great and the noise cancellation is fantastic. The buds are a little large but light weight. The case is big but also light weight. This is probably due to a little cost cutting to be able to sell these for 179. Bose earbuds are now around 300 usually. This is a great deal. The new app is also fantastic. It's easy to use and the layout is great . I would definitely recommend these.

I have a tough time finding ear buds that will stay put while working out and these are amazing! The added bands that wrap around the bud in 3 different sizes is what sets them apart....i make all kinds of faces while lifting and every other set of buds work themselves loose and end up falling out or having to be reset after each set, not these! They stay put the entire workout without messing w them. The sound is excellent and the noise canceling due to the superior fit is outstanding! Im coming from Galaxy Buds Pro 2 and they sounded good....but always loose or falling out! Im a Bose fan from now on!

The headphones themselves are great! And id say the fixed all my major issues with the ultras like the call quality volume which was always too low. My voice detect kept turning on and off but it was ok. Its more comfortable than the ultras. The case though... Its huge and doesnt sit comfortably in the pocket. It feels like theres a ton of negative space in it and because if its size i feel like if i fall or bump into something hard im going to smash it easily in my pocket.

Fantastic headphones for the gym. I use the for weight lifting, never had any problems with them falling out or coming loose and losing ANC

Love these! Stay in my ears thru workouts and sound is amazing!

Love the sound and noise canceling. Color choice is great too

This Bose quiet comfort earbuds is one of the best earbuds from Bose great quality sound great for the price

Great quality and fidelity, the in-app controls offer many options for personalization. Light weighted and discrete overall look. I really recommend this product.

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.

These are awesome, bose quality! I had a set of bose soundsport that i loved, but one side quit working. I replaced them with a set of jbl endurance, and they were awful, the noise cancelling was crap and i believe caused me to damage my ears because i had to turn the volume up so loud to compensate for the lack of noise cancel when mowing. Then i got this set of bose quite comfort. Ive not tried them out mowing yet, but just sitting in the living room, i can’t hear the tv, so it’s promising! And the sound quality of bose, excellent!!
