Best noise cancelling earbud, even better than the AirPods Pro 2 (I have both). The sound is terrific and they have a better fit from the first QuietComfort Earbuds (and feel more secure in my ears than the IPods Pro 2). They have two disadvantages over the Apple AirPods Pro 2, though. They don’t have wireless charging. The other disadvantage is they don’t have a “Find My” feature like the AirPods do. With something so small that can easily be lost, especially if they fall out of your ears when you’re outside, the ability to easily find them by sounding a beep is a huge advantage Apple has over these.

I have the original Bose QuietComfort Earbuds, which I have used frequently for over a year. For me, the advantages of these upgrades just didn't outweigh the disadvantages, so I'm not super impressed. Pros: - Both have amazing noise cancellation, and you can adjust the level too. I literally laughed out loud the first time I turned them up to the maximum ("Quiet") in a noisy gym. - Both have at least good audio quality. I certainly didn't notice any artifacts in the audio from compression or anything like that. - This model is definitely smaller than the previous model, and the shape is such that it sticks out from the ear much less, making it more pleasant to wear. Cons: - Both only have a 3-band equalizer in the control app, as compared to 5 or more for other Bluetooth audio devices I own. This makes it harder than necessary to tailor the frequencies. - The battery life is significantly shorter, and the case only has a single light to indicate battery levels instead of the previous five. - There is a continuous low-level background hiss to the audio that nobody has figured out how to get rid of. This one drove me nuts, but others obviously don't mind it much. - The mechanism of switching between phone and laptop is a real nuisance at times. It's much more awkward than the older model.Read full review

I got these earbuds because I heard about their great active noise cancellation, and they did not disappoint. With it on, I have to strain to hear people speaking to me even if I'm right next to them. So far, they're comfortable; I had to factory reset them in order to get them to connect to the Bose app but all the advertised features are working for me so far. The sound quality is also top-tier, as is to be expected from most bose products.

overall airpods pro 2 are probably better deal (especially when considering the 300$ price tag for these earbuds). the Bose QC2 may have better noise cancellation than other brands. do not upgrade earbuds to latest firmware as it injects many bugs that were not there before. Bose forums are full of frustrated customers who upgraded to v1.3.26. some of them simply returned the earbuds. case firmware is done via desktop app and USB-C cable only. case firmware is v1.1.2. sounds issues, re-connect issues and alike. the ANC is great but suffers from spontaneous popping sounds . no wireless charging and no multipoint connections. great fit inside ear due to embedded wing tips. bose mobile app is a real shame. will not connect to earbuds in many cases. no battery gauge for case. earbuds have rich and deep basses. microphone pickup is metallic and weak (people tell me when I call them). not expected it from a 300$ earbuds.

I have tried 11 different earbuds. These would rank number one for sound quality and number two for fit. The internal aspect of the year is difficult to fit and this product has similar restrictions in use for weight, lifting due to strain and manipulation of the jaw overall, an excellent option for deep bass sound lovers.
