New QuietComfort Wireless Noise Cancelling Earbuds, Lifestyle Bluetooth Earbuds with Active Noise Cancellation, Up to 8.5 Hours of Battery Life, Black

The clarity is good - and they did mean what they said it gets real loud at full volume. The ANC is decent - it is better than my buds 2 pro. I guess it is definitely value for money for me. I would suggest to get it for less than 10k if and when it goes to that range. The charging case is proper huge box of plastic - and I am not understating it. The buds are really huge - I bought it for exercising and playing squash when alone. Can't comment on longevity - might update if I remember a year later. Battery performance seems to be very good - the mentioned 8.5 hours at 60-70% volume is absolutely doable, and I guess it might even extend - I used it for listening to a book on audible in full volume with ANC for about an hour and it soc dropped by 10% on each bud. The touch controls are over sensitive, and the touches starts getting recognized as soon as the buds are removed from the case. Auto cut off is a hit or off thing - I am seeing it work at times. As a old soundlink headphone and speaker user - I find it good - the sound quality is nice - didn't lose much detail - tried classic rock and even sound staging seems decent which is quite surprising. More than decent for the price I got it for. Please don't pay more than 10k for these pair. While the sound quality and performance will be premium - functionality might be impaired. You can also consider soundcore at that price range - for less than 10k - if premiumness, features and sound quality is the main thing. If you are seeing this bose piece for any price less than 5k again - just swoop in. Don't hesitate.

I never used to like Bose’ products due to less sound customisation. Initially wanted to go for AirPods Pro 2 but saw reviews from users and experts about these buds and decided to take a chance. To my surprise it met all the ticks which I was looking for. Great and crisp sound, equaliser customisation, perfect balance of mids, highs and customisable punchy bass which makes it my perfect companion. The app is nice and important features are maintained. The only regret is there’s no spatial sound feature and the app takes long time to connect to earbuds. Noise cancellation is amazing, but takes times to switch between transparency and NC mode. Bose should improve this app usability. Overall a best pair of earbuds and a must for music enthusiasts.

I have been using these for a few days now and they really are the worst! First the buds were defective and I got a replacement. I checked them and since both the ear buds were working I thought they were okay. After I started using them a few days later, I realised that they always give problem while connecting to either one of the ears. The sound is good but using them is a challenge because they get disconnected while in use out of nowhere. And people keep telling me that the sound is not clear every-time I am on a call, so I have to disconnect them and talk directly through the phone. If they weren’t so expensive, I would have dumped them.

Update 3 months usage: 1) Sound grew up on me, i prefer these over reds anyday. 2) Weird connectivity quirks, i nearly thought my earbud died, it happs like 3-4 times a week. i believe it's a software issue and can be fixed with update. 3) Why is bose customer support so bad in India? on US website you can order a replacement No questions asked, here they want me to take these to service centre I own Truthear zero reds and i switched from oppo enco air 3 pro. Sound is subjective but- they sound around 5% worse than truthears, and 30~40% better than oppo, but the sound curve is different so comparison is purely subjective. Sound stage is certainly better than oppo but worse than truthears. Noise cancellation is great but maybe i expected too much, it'll not cut out everything. if music is not playing you'll still hear people next to you talk. all testing done with apple music lossless, even though it's aac only. comfort is good, love the battery coming from enco 🥲🥲. app is great, apparently it'll get immersion audio support in q1 2025 so that's great. verdict: buy under 10k

Good sound quality

The sound is great when everything else is fine. The fit in the ear is great till the fins do not get in the way of the charger in the case. The case is smaller and made out of plastic, which feels oh so so plasticy and cheap. The equalizer in the app is great, provided it connects. Even with the effort, the wait for a connection to the app and the sound in your ears, which says "voice control," is a relief! The connection between the buds, the buds and the app and the multipoint are all disasters. This takes away the respect I had for the bulky earlier version of Bose earbuds, which just worked and worked and worked. This is the cost of making low cost products and tempting me. A bad review. The discount is mostly an attempt to empty stocks. But yes, the sound is still great.

Amazing

5 stars for the bose quietcomfort Sound and ANC performance...I was specially looking for a earbuds with best ANC and Buying these buds, I am completely satisfied and have made the right choice. The ANC literally blocks the sound from the outside world while in quite mode. Only drawback is the super bulky case and look n feel of the case is cheap.But this is subjective. If your looking for best in class ANC and sound performance then you must surely get this. I usually dont give my reviews on any products, but the ANC performance has really blown my mind.

Buenas No soy de hacer muchas reseñas pero de verdad que quiero exponer mi experiencia. Vengo de unos Bosé de diadema y la verdad que estoy encantado, pero para jugar tumbado o ahora en verano pues prefiero los earbuds. Vi comentarios de personas que no se le emparejaba bien o que se les desemparejaba. Yo no he tenido ningún problema. Los he usado con un iPhone y con 2 pc ( portátil y lenovo legión go) y de momento perfecto. Cancelación de ruido. Punto excelente tiene 3 modos - sin cancelación (nada que explicar) - con cancelación modo silencioso creo que se llama. La que más uso que es una maravilla. Tengo el audio al 50% y se escucha solo lo que escucho y nada de la calle - modo alerta. Esto está bien para poder escuchar con claridad los ruidos de tu alrededor. Si te preguntas para qué puede servir esto es para correr por la calle sin miedo a morir o escuchar a tus hijos por la noche mientras ves una peli Batería. Yo no he llegado a gastar nunca la batería. Te da entre 6 y 8 horas en función del volumen y entiendo que otros factores que vete tú a saber cuáles. Comodida. Son bastante cómodos. Se conectan nada más colocarlos y la verdad son problemas. Calidad de audio. Es buenísimo en este aspecto. Para mi uso es como tener unos de diadema puestos Cosas negativas. Cómo saber cuándo cargar la caja que no los earbuds. Ya que el nivel de batería de los cascos te lo cantan los cascos al encender o te salen en la app. Pues según el manual una luz brilla si entra entre 2 porcentajes. Si no parpadea si no… no sé cuánto costaba ponerlo en la app. Otro problema es que al emparejarlo a 2 dispositivos al mismo tiempo falla. Se vuelve algo inestable. La app no me detecta los cascos y bueno. Cuando los voy a usar en un dispositivo lo desconecto del otro Espero haber podido ayudar aunque sea un poco

After by samsung buds died on me, I researched a lot and these were really highly rated. Arrived in no time, price was very reasonable and wow the sound is amazing! Bass isn't wobbly, the high notes clear and while shaking my booty whilst cleaning the house they don't fall out! I downloaded the bose app, and the connectivity was instant, even without the app. But its nice to have to adjust things. Battery life unsure of yet, they were 100% out of the box and after 4 days of 2 hours listening still going strong. Love them!! And the purple is pretty snazzy too!

I have a few things to mention about this product. Firstly, make sure the earphone is securely pressed into your ear; otherwise, it will pause when the sensor isn’t activated. I don’t mind this, as I actually prefer it over my other earphones that keep playing and wasting battery when I’m not listening. In terms of comfort, these earphones are excellent. I can wear them all day without any complaints. However, when I’m in a busy place with no sound playing, the noise cancellation can feel slightly uncomfortable—but that depends on individual sensitivity. While it doesn’t completely block out very loud noises, I’d say it cancels about 95% of ambient sound when walking on the streets or at home. The sound quality is outstanding. You can really hear the highs and lows, as well as the different instruments in a song. I never noticed these details when using cheaper earphones—it’s like rediscovering music. One minor downside is that switching between devices isn’t always seamless. Sometimes it connects instantly, other times it doesn’t. But for me, that’s not a dealbreaker. Also, if you’re next to someone talking, I highly recommend turning on ambient sound mode—otherwise, it’s nearly impossible to hear them. The noise cancellation is that effective. Overall, this product delivers on both comfort and sound quality, making it a great choice.

Good quality, works well, nice color

These are good! I am coming from some older earbuds, namely the original pixel buds pro earbuds. I felt that those earbuds hit a better price point than their successors, the pixel buds pro 2, did. They recently started to give me some trouble and the battery has been degrading quite rapidly, so I know I needed to look for a new set. These Bose buds caught my eye as the largest limitation with the OG pixel buds was their ANC performance. I use earbuds a lot when performing yard work, so drowning out various tools and traffic noise were top of my priorities. Additionally, I did not want to spend 200+ USD on something like the AZ100 or the more premium offers from Sony/Bose. These have filled those requirements nearly perfectly. I am very impressed with ANC performance, they seem very similar to my Sony WH-XM3s. This is a very impressive feat for in ear buds, but I know that the Sonys are a few generations old at this stage. I can say that they handily outperform the pixel buds. This seems especially true with higher frequency sounds. Overall, very impressed with how they handle noise suppression/ANC in busy environments as well. Voices seem to be suppressed quite well. I was also presently suprised by sounds quality. I think that these sound a little better than the OG pixel buds do. Clarity is better, especially in the mids. These also tend to get really loud, especially compared to the pixel buds. I notice I am often not using more than 50% of the volume available to achieve normal listening volumes. Bass is somewhat bloated, overall similar to the Sony WH-XM3s, but this is overall a pleasurable tune and can be adjusted with a 5 band equalizer. There are some potential downsides. While the buds themselves feel high quality, the case feels relatively cheap and oversized. The OG pixelbuds have been rock solid for me. Their case has survived numerous drops and being mistaken for a dog toy a time or two. The Bose QC case feels much lighter and the cover feels much thinner. The hinge also does not feel nearly as robust. With that said, I do appreciate that they sell a replacement charging case for 60$. While it was touched on, I do also want to mention that the case seems just a little too large. It's about 50% thicker than the pixel buds or airpods. It's still very pocketable, but I do not think I will carry them with me at all times like I did with the pixel buds. The intrusiveness of the larger case in conjunction with my concerns about durability make me hesitant. Overall, these are really nice earbuds. I have not experienced any connectivity issues using the latest update. They connect and play quickly as expected. They have had great stability in ear, even while running. I think these strike a very good value for money where spending more may have diminishing returns. I think this is especially relevant as it seems that all wireless earbuds tend to have a lifespan of a few years before they are end of life due to wear or battery degradation. It's hard for me to justify spending more on something I can only expect to last 2-4 years.
