Bose QuietComfort Earbuds - SoapStone 831262-0020 review
It’s Bose’s second attempt at a set of true wireless headphones, and the QuietComfort Earbuds are leaps and bounds better than the older SoundSport Free. Not only is the design a lot better, the noise cancellation is exemplary.
Pros:
- Best-in-class ANC
- Rich
- clear sound
- Secure
- comfortable fit
- Wireless charging
Cons:
- Lacks on-board volume control
- Bulky charging case
- Case could offer more charge

Bose QuietComfort Earbuds - SoapStone 831262-0020 review
Bose’s original true wireless earbuds, the SoundSport Free, sounded fantastic but were foiled by connectivity problems and audio / video sync issues that the company never fully resolved. They also lacked active noise cancellation, which is the feature that Bose built its entire brand around.
Pros:
- Best noise cancellation yet among true wireless earbuds
- Excellent sound quality
- Comfortable
- secure fit
Cons:
- Large carrying case
- No way to go back to the last track with the earbuds
- Can only pair to one device at a time

Bose QuietComfort Earbuds review
It’s Bose’s second attempt at a set of true wireless headphones, and the QuietComfort Earbuds are leaps and bounds better than the older SoundSport Free. Not only is the design a lot better, the noise cancellation is exemplary. Sound quality is also really very good – albeit a touch less bassy as compared to Sony – with superb clarity. They’re incredibly comfortable and well balanced too, despite their bulky form factor.
Pros:
- Best-in-class ANC
- Rich, clear sound
- Secure, comfortable fit
- Wireless charging
Cons:
- Lacks on-board volume control
- Bulky charging case
- Case could offer more charge

Bose QuietComfort Earbuds beat AirPods Pro on sound and noise canceling, but not design
They sound great and have arguably the best noise canceling for true wireless, but they aren't as discrete or comfortable as the AirPods Pro -- or as good for calls. It took Bose quite a while to get them into stores, but the new $279 (£250, AU$400) noise-canceling QuietComfort Earbuds are finally here. In many ways, they are excellent true wireless earbuds, particularly when it comes to their sound and noise canceling, which is arguably the best out there right now in a set of earbuds.
Pros:
- Best-in-class noise canceling with transparency mode
- Top-notch sound
- Comfortable, secure fit
- Rock-solid wireless connection
- Decent battery life for noise-canceling earbuds (up to 6 hours)
- Wireless charging (and USB-C)
- Decent voice calling with sidetone "self voice" feature
- IPX4 splash-resistant
Cons:
- Buds are fairly large (they stick out of your ears)
- Noise reduction for calls could be better
- Pretty pricey

Bose has come a long way since the SoundSport Free. The company had years to perfect its next set(s) of true wireless earbuds, and it’s created a tempting package. The QuietComfort Earbuds have powerful ANC and great overall sound quality, plus premium features like wireless charging.
