True to their word I’ve only had to charge them a few times a week with regular usage. My only slight gripe is with the case; it would benefit from some sort of rubberised coating to give it a bit more grip and less likely to slip out of my hand, but that’s me really nitpicking! Overall, I’m very impressed and would highly recommend to anyone looking for comfortable headphones that sound great and stay put!

I’ve been using these for just over the last week. During that time I feel they’ve been given a very fair trial. I’ve used them on a long train journey, a recent inpatient day case at the hospital and mainly whilst working from home. I’ve owned quite a few pairs of Bose headphones over the years, from over ear, on ear and buds. I prefer to pay extra for decent sound so I can enjoy the experience of listening to music.. not just enjoy the music.To start with, I believe these are a great entry level pair of Bose earbuds.

When the case is closed I do feel the case is durable and if dropped the magnet is strong enough to remain closed and protect your earbuds.They come with customisable rubber buds to make sure they fit perfectly into your ear. Once in, they fit extremely well and no amount of head shaking or running knock them out. They are comfortable and snug.They connect extremely quickly to my iPhone and iPad and when answering calls it’s a seamless process from music to call.They offer 3 options of noise cancelling, quiet, aware and off. This isn’t as many or as customisable as other Bose earbud options but these are still very good options. The noise cancelling is truly fantastic that you wouldn’t get from any other brand except Bose. They kept out all train commuter noises. They also managed to keep out all hospital beeping and bustling around. When the app is downloaded you have the option of adding extra bass etc if you feel the sound is a little flat.Overall for the price these are a fantastic pair of Bose earbuds. Undoubtedly Bose do offer more premium versions of these but these offer comfort in ear, secure fit, great sound and superb noise reduction.

These are a great set of earbuds for everyday use, be it out and about, commute to work, exercise or travel.First impressions:- Sleek design with different sized tips to fit ears. The out of box ones fitted me perfectly and are comfortable to wear.- The charging case is a decent size but a weird shape. I normally would carry earbuds in my jeans... they are perhaps a bit bulky for that but perfect for portability in jacket or bag.- USB-C is good - means when travelling, existing chargers will do the job- Like orange charging light on front which switches to green when charged; and also classic Bose logo on top.- Nice sound with bass and clear instrumentals listening on Apple Music - the classic natural Bose sound I love where music and voices sounds ... MoreThese are a great set of earbuds for everyday use, be it out and about, commute to work, exercise or travel.First impressions:- Sleek design with different sized tips to fit ears.

Given it my go to Headphone test of Enya - Caribbean Blue and some other tracks eg piano, classical and rock which feels immersive.- I wasn't sure about the touch controls initially but have configured them to my liking via the QCE app and starting to get the hang of them --- can adjust volume, skip tracks, pause, answer/ end calls etc... all the usual commands you'd expect.- Used the earbuds a few times now during a gym workout paired with my Apple iPhone 15 pro Max and Watch Ultra 2. Impressed with sound quality and stability of earbuds whilst doing cardio workouts on treadmill and elliptical trainer. Blocked out noise of the machines and others nearby… was able to go fully Rocky montage in my own private bubble. Despite sweating, the earbuds stayed firmly in place during workout.Overall a great all rounder set of earbuds. Very pleased.

These new Bose QuietComfort Earbuds have the best noise cancelling I’ve heard and are the most comfortable I’ve owned.In comparison to the Gen 1 version they’re smaller, lighter and more comfortable in ear for extended wear, which is an improvement I didn’t know I wanted.Out of the box they are customisable in app with different touch control settings (I like the standard settings and reverted to these as they are already well balanced) and with different ear shape adjustment bands and tips, you can really tune into what you like to listen to in comfort. There’s also a new way of changing volume etc which I find more reliable than the first gen edition (no longer a swipe but left earbud tap twice and hold for volume down, right earbud for volume up). I set them ... MoreThese new Bose QuietComfort Earbuds have the best noise cancelling I’ve heard and are the most comfortable I’ve owned.In comparison to the Gen 1 version they’re smaller, lighter and more comfortable in ear for extended wear, which is an improvement I didn’t know I wanted.Out of the box they are customisable in app with different touch control settings (I like the standard settings and reverted to these as they are already well balanced) and with different ear shape adjustment bands and tips, you can really tune into what you like to listen to in comfort. There’s also a new way of changing volume etc which I find more reliable than the first gen edition (no longer a swipe but left earbud tap twice and hold for volume down, right earbud for volume up). I set them up once and left as is without issue.I’ve used mine on a plane and train, and taken them for a few runs so far and have no complaints about the earbuds themselves. My only gripe is with the cases exterior material (the plastic feels lesser quality than the rest of the product, and feels slightly scratchy but solid) but it’s nice to have a magnetic snap close rather than the push latch of the originals on the case.The earbuds and case are overall much smaller than the first series and have a longer battery life between charges. These earbuds are phenomenal and I’m glad to replace my much loved QCE 1st gens; the size, improved noise cancellation and in ear comfort far exceed the concession of the case, and the cases smaller size is itself a bigger benefit. See photos for comparisons. I always loved Bose noise cancelling and the audio quality I’ve found to be better than other brands, and these are no exception, I’d highly recommend these.
I’ve had these earphones now for a couple of weeks and these are my pros and cons …PROS* Great music sound as always with Bose* Extremely fast pairing to iPhone (even without app)* Dedicated app has lots of features and settings you can edit like sounds levels with bass reduction etc.* Brilliant noise cancellation — in my opinion, even better than the more expensive QCII and QC Ultra earbuds!*Aware mode good for disabled users like me who want to block out background sound while still being able to hear conversation — also good for anyone when at the cashier in a shop, crossing the road, nighttime safety, etc. I wore them whilst at the restaurant the other night to drown out background noise and still had an easy conversation with my friends, preventing ... MoreI’ve had these earphones now for a couple of weeks and these are my pros and cons …PROS* Great music sound as always with Bose* Extremely fast pairing to iPhone (even without app)* Dedicated app has lots of features and settings you can edit like sounds levels with bass reduction etc.* Brilliant noise cancellation — in my opinion, even better than the more expensive QCII and QC Ultra earbuds!*Aware mode good for disabled users like me who want to block out background sound while still being able to hear conversation — also good for anyone when at the cashier in a shop, crossing the road, nighttime safety, etc. I wore them whilst at the restaurant the other night to drown out background noise and still had an easy conversation with my friends, preventing me from getting overstimulated and overwhelmed by the noisy setting ♥️.* Clear speech when taking video on busy road (in picture)* Fit into ear snugly with three size options for ear piece (I use the smallest one)CONS* Wind noise very loud — a little hard to hear music at usual volume and phone calls very difficult with the wind too* Build quality not as good as QCII earbuds, especially considering price is still high. Same with the charging case* Sometimes you take the buds out the case and they just don’t turn on. Fixed fairly easily by putting back in and jiggling until you see the green light* Not as comfortable as QCII earbuds for long-term wear such as on a long journey* Stick more out of the ears than QCII earbuds so not comfortable if you are leaning on something (cushion, pillow, etc.)Overall I think these earbuds are fantastic. If you have the money I would recommend the QCIIs — but if you want to spend a little less these earbuds are almost just as good for sure!! And like I said, I think that the ANC is actually better. The dedicated QCE app is also a real bonus with all the extra features and it’s so easy to use.These earbuds are also much better than similar priced buds on the market from other popular fruit & other brands in my opinion! Honestly Bose are a firm favourite for me as they continue to deliver with each release, and for the price point I think they have basically got these spot on.
I recently got a pair of wireless earbuds that come with a dedicated application, and I must say, I am absolutely delighted with my experience so far. The app allows for a high level of personalization, enabling me to configure the earbuds to suit my preferences. One of the standout features is the ability to change the actions of the left and right earbud, adding an extra layer of convenience that I truly appreciate. Additionally, the app provides a clear indication of the battery levels of each earbud.These earbuds have amazing touch controls. Very responsive, making it easy to manage music and calls.

However I did run across a little quirk when doing some activities accidentally my hand would touch earbuds which in turn stops music. It would be great if an option is provided that could be enabled/disabled, which would allow one to shut off the touch controls for specific activities.Comfort is another strong point for these earbuds. I have always struggled with earbuds that either don’t stay in place or cause discomfort after prolonged use. To my surprise, these earbuds are incredibly lightweight and comfortable. The rubber piece around the earbud ensures a nice fit and I don't have to worry about them falling out while moving around. I can wear them for extended periods without any discomfort, which is a huge plus.On a positive note, the Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) feature, which really cuts down the background noise, allowing me to listen to music or podcasts with clarity.In summary, these wireless earbuds offers a fantastic blend of comfort and customization, coupled with remarkably well-functioning active noise cancellation. Admittedly, there are a few features touching on call quality and a couple of issues with touch controls that indeed need some time for improvement, but I would go ahead and highly recommend them for anyone looking for a reliable and comfortable audio solution.
I have been using the new Bose Quietcomfort earbuds for the past month - during busy commutes on the train and tube, in and out of London, and when relaxing at home. Regardless of the activity or environment, I could not stop being amazed by the amazing sound quality and comfortable fit of the buds. As I normally struggle to retain sound buds in my ears - most makes just drop out at the least amount of activity - I was not very hopeful at the first use of the Bose buds, but despite sometimes running for a train, or jumping a step or two on a staircase, these buds remained seated, with a good seal, while feeling so comfortable that, at times , I almost forgot I had them in my ears. And the richness of the sound just blew me away - from the deepest of basses that you ... MoreI have been using the new Bose Quietcomfort earbuds for the past month - during busy commutes on the train and tube, in and out of London, and when relaxing at home.

As I normally struggle to retain sound buds in my ears - most makes just drop out at the least amount of activity - I was not very hopeful at the first use of the Bose buds, but despite sometimes running for a train, or jumping a step or two on a staircase, these buds remained seated, with a good seal, while feeling so comfortable that, at times , I almost forgot I had them in my ears. And the richness of the sound just blew me away - from the deepest of basses that you could almost feel, to the clearest of high notes - true high fidelity as though one was at a live music event. To my mind, the sound is even better than that of high- end, over -ear headphones, and since having started to use the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds, I have not once taken my over-ear headphones out of their carry case. The noise cancellation is also the best that I have yet encountered: with noise cancellation on, one cannot even hear someone next to you talking, but it also has a setting for 'aware', which amplifies background sounds, and ,of course, 'off'. All the controls can be managed by tapping the earbuds with the finger, using voice controls as well as via an enhanced app. The app allows the user to customise all the features (including an equaliser setting) ,creating a true personalised control system for the earbuds. The controls for the earbuds are the most extensive that I have yet encountered, including even a facility to take a selfie with a fingertip against one of the buds, bud are very intuitive and easy to master.I am someone that loves my music, from hard rock to classical and jazz, and do appreciate high quality sound. Having found earbuds that can deliver this in spades and can remain comfortably in your ears while on and off trains and switching between calls and music with the tap of a finger or a simple vocal command, has been a very positive experience. This new offering from Bose has certainly exceeded my expectations and I cannot recommend the new Bose QuietComfort Earbuds highly enough.
I have been a Bose wired earbud user for many, many years, as I believed that they would provide the best sound quality for my music. Well the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds definitely changed my opinion, especially for listening to music. The sound they produce is fantastic and far superior to my Bose wired earbuds (and it is nice to finally not have to worry about inadvertently catching the wires on something!). I love most genres of music and they all sound fantastic. I am particularly impressed with the full, high quality sound and deep bass for my favorite genre, progressive rock. The noise canceling feature makes listening to music substantially better by drowning out surrounding noises (but it is nice to have the ability to "turn off" the noise canceling feature ... MoreI have been a Bose wired earbud user for many, many years, as I believed that they would provide the best sound quality for my music.

I love most genres of music and they all sound fantastic. I am particularly impressed with the full, high quality sound and deep bass for my favorite genre, progressive rock. The noise canceling feature makes listening to music substantially better by drowning out surrounding noises (but it is nice to have the ability to "turn off" the noise canceling feature when the situation merits).I appreciate the ability to adjust the fit based on your inside ear size which makes them also very comfortable to wear (I had them on for over 3 hours the other day and no discomfort at all). They are also not too clumsy looking when wearing. For the sound they produce I would have expected something a little more bulky. The touch controls on the earbuds themselves took a little getting used to, and were frustrating at first. This is in part due to the wide variety of adjustments and options available on the earbuds. Watching the "How-To" videos that Bose provides definitely helped. I also like the convenience to use voice controls to adjust volume and advance tracks.The charging case is nice, and I particularly like the way the earbuds fit snuggly and are held in place with tiny magnets (ensuring they are in the proper position for charging). Speaking of charging, I last used them for about 7 hours before I felt the need to recharge the earbuds.The Bose QC Earbuds app works great too and is necessary to take full advantage of the earbuds (e.g., the EQ feature). Just one note of warning; the app only works for iOS 15 or above. So us old-timers with an iPod Touch that can't accommodate iOS 15 and above can't install and use the app solely on the iPod (but you can still concurrently use the app on your iPhone).If you particularly enjoy listening to all types of music, I highly recommend a pair of the Bose QC Earbuds. You won't be disappointed. The sound is just simply fantastic and pure Bose!
Although these share the same name as the original Bose QuietComfort Earbuds, the 2nd generation brings some notable upgrades.First off, the case design stands out—it’s smaller but slightly thicker than my QuietComfort 2 case due to the removal of the earbud stems. The new matte finish on the case is sleek, and a much-appreciated upgrade is the wireless charging feature, which wasn’t available on the previous model.A key change is the introduction of a dedicated app, Bose QC Earbuds, with a unique "B" and "BCE" logo. This app gives you full control over your earbud experience, offering features like:Noise Control: You can switch between Quiet, Aware, or Off modes either in the app or by voice commands. In general, noise cancellation is excellent, though I did ... MoreAlthough these share the same name as the original Bose QuietComfort Earbuds, the 2nd generation brings some notable upgrades.First off, the case design stands out—it’s smaller but slightly thicker than my QuietComfort 2 case due to the removal of the earbud stems.

This app gives you full control over your earbud experience, offering features like:Noise Control: You can switch between Quiet, Aware, or Off modes either in the app or by voice commands. In general, noise cancellation is excellent, though I did notice that in Quiet mode, wind noise during outdoor walks seemed more pronounced. This may be because the Quiet mode reduces other sounds, making wind noise stand out more—I'll need to test it further.EQ Settings: The default EQ is set to Flat, but there are presets like Bass Boost, Treble Boost, and Custom, allowing you to fine-tune Low, Mid, and High frequencies to your liking.Touch Controls: You can customize Single, Double, and Triple Press, as well as Hold functions for each earbud, giving you complete control over your listening experience.Voice Control: Available in multiple languages (English, Chinese, German, French, and Spanish), you activate commands by saying "Hey Headphones." I had a few issues getting this to work reliably, but it might just be a learning curve.One of the standout features is Multipoint connectivity, which lets you seamlessly connect to two devices at once. Switching between my phone and computer was a breeze, which is incredibly convenient.Other useful features include Fast Mute with touch control, a remote selfie option to control your phone’s camera, and Smart Calls, allowing you to accept or reject calls, use low-latency mode for gaming or movies, and even check battery predictions for how much playtime or talk time you have left.The noise cancellation is top-notch, as expected from Bose. It’s also IPX4 water-resistant, meaning it can handle splashes and light rain—great for daily walks. The earbuds come with three sizes of silicone ear tips and stability bands to ensure a perfect fit.Battery life is solid—8.5 hours on the earbuds alone, or up to 31 hours with the charging case. Fast charging gives you 2 hours of playback with just a 20-minute charge.Overall, these 2nd-gen QuietComfort Earbuds deliver an impressive upgrade with features that rival or surpass other top brands, all while maintaining Bose’s legendary sound quality and noise cancellation. At an affordable price, these everyday earbuds are ideal for anyone, including retirees like me, who enjoy listening to music during daily walks without breaking the bank.Bose nailed it with these—Powerful, not precious, just as they promised.
These earbuds produce full, rich sound across a wide spectrum of music types. The sound quality was tested using contemporary, recent, country, classical, instrumental, easy listening, rock, soft rock, and acoustic music types just to name a few. The results were extremely impressive and produced absolutely stellar sound quality. The bass and treble are perfectly balanced to produce optimum playback. The background vocals and instrumentation are enhanced and do not get lost behind lead vocals. This makes it possible to hear portions if songs that were not heard before because they were overridden by lead vocals and instrumentation. Percussion audio is crisp and does not sound muffled. The earbuds give the impression of being exposed to live music as close as ... MoreThese earbuds produce full, rich sound across a wide spectrum of music types.

This makes it possible to hear portions if songs that were not heard before because they were overridden by lead vocals and instrumentation. Percussion audio is crisp and does not sound muffled. The earbuds give the impression of being exposed to live music as close as possible without actually being there. The equalizer feature allows for improved playback especially when listening to audio books and podcasts. Noise reduction is stellar and results in nearly absolute quiet even in the most noisy environments such as in factories, in public places, or near vehicle engines. The magnetic case holds the earbuds securely in place and ensures proper contact for charging. Battery life with a full charge is increased from previous versions. 3 sizes of earpieces are included. These allow for a secure fit to virtually any ear size, and the comfort level has increased from previous versions. The earbuds connect to to the app very quickly and seamlessly, and stay connected even while away from any wifi Hotspot. This product is pleasing in appearance, easy to maintain, and durable. I have some concern regarding the finish material, especially the white color. There is a chance that they will show signs of wear or scuff marks somewhat more quickly. This chance is obviously reduced with a darker color, but the finish, while appealing, may not hold up as well over time. Overall, this is a top quality product and will provide outstanding performance regardless of type of music, audio book, or podcast being enjoyed.
