Very difficult to use

I've already discouraged 3 people from buying these . I am constantly required to reconnect with my devices; the bluetooth function only permits one device at a time. So if you're connected to your phone and want to use them on your tablet, you must physically disconnect from the phone 1st. If it's nearby great; if it's not you need to get and disconnect before you can use it on your device.... over and over again. It is quite inconvenient and time consuming. There is very little product support as well. I'm referred to product help but it doesn't work unless I'm connected. If you have a fix for this annoyance great; otherwise these are coming back!

Excellent! My favorite pair of headphones yet

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I first put these in my ears, and flipped the ANC on, I was in shock. Bose managed to outdo themselves entirely. I've been using QC Series headphones since my first pair of QC15 many years ago, and I can't believe how far earbuds have come along. Background sounds just disappear, and are replaced with rich, full, clear, impressive sound. These little earbuds sound like full-sized headphones, but they're so light and comfortable, they just disappear. I have even put them in my ears at bed time and fallen asleep listening to podcasts. I have quite the collection of Bose headphones, and these may just be my absolute favorite I've ever had. A++

Bose QuietComfort Earbuds review

Their bulkier-than-average design and the ridiculously large case will no doubt put some people off, especially when the latter’s size doesn’t mean superior battery life. But otherwise the QC Earbuds are difficult to knock. The noise-cancelling doesn’t do a disservice to the esteemed QC name, it’s hugely customisable, and the buds sound great too. They’re at the upper end of the spectrum where price is concerned, but if silence is what you seek from your true wireless earbuds, you currently won’t find better.
Pros:
  • Noise-cancelling as good as you’d expect from Bose
  • 11 levels of ANC in the app
  • Good seal
  • Bassy but balanced listen
Cons:
  • Touch controls initially confusing, and no volume slider
  • Case is enormous

Bose QuietComfort Earbuds - SoapStone 831262-0020 review

While bulky and not overly stuffed with features, Bose’s new QuietComfort buds offer a good fit, a premium-looking design, clear sound, and powerful noise cancellation that's easily adjustable. I have no doubt these will be a popular choice for travelers and those who work from home alike.
Pros:
  • Class leading noise canceling
  • Comfy
  • secure fit
  • Tight
  • present audio
Cons:
  • Chunky design
  • Case has mediocre battery

Bose QuietComfort Earbuds review: The in-ear noise-cancelling king

These 'buds keep ambient noise at bay, while the comfort is supreme for a pair of in-ears. Add that to sound that'll make all your favourite songs sound amazing, and it's hard to think of a more complete pair of true wireless in-ears in terms pure music enjoyment.
Pros:
  • Great noise-cancelling
  • Fantastic sound quality
  • Fit is secure and comfortable for long periods
  • Wireless charging case an added bonus
Cons:
  • Design is quite chunky
  • Case could offer more charge
