Bose QuietComfort Earbuds - SoapStone 831262-0020 review
Bose compressed some of its best headphones into earbud form, but did it work? Here's our Bose QuietComfort Earbuds review!...- Comfortable
- secure fit Fast charging
- USB-C case Bluetooth 5.1 IPX4 rating Decent noise canceling
- No Bluetooth multipoint SBC and AAC only
- no aptX Price
Bose deliver great value at sale price of $299
Top quality product but requires newish Android or Apple phone to set up features. Comforrtable to wear and faultless 5G. Great for use on the move. Depeding on source you may find the sound volume not quite loud enough but audio quality is very good if you like Bose sound. Overall I rate my QC35II slightly better for noise cancelling but they are over ear and more bulky headphones. However, for great noisefree sound on the move I can thoroughly recommend the Bose QC 700 earbuds.

The Bose QuietComfort Earbuds are a great do-it-all option for anyone, so long as you can afford it. These are a great alternative to the Apple AirPods Pro and Sony WF-1000XM3. You can choose the degree of noise cancelling, and enjoy premium features like automatic ear-detection.- Active noise cancelling

These buds excel with their many Active Noise Cancellation features, but that's about it
Bose QuietComfort Earbuds - SoapStone review
While the sound, case, charging, and fit are all decent, the controls are woefully lacking. The volume, stop / pause / answer are all controlled by gestures in the right earbud but the gestures controlled by the left earbud forward / back for selections, need to be selected in the app prior to using .. so if I’m riding my bike while listening, I actually need to pull out my mobile device and select or change the left (forward or reverse) gesture prior to using it ; this is just STUPID. I actually returned another Bose wave speaker for a similar reason (the app never worked correctly) The app for the earbuds works but it’s a dumb design

When it comes to noise cancellation, the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds outshines every wireless earbud model out there. Bose set its sights on creating the best noise-cancelling experience in the true wireless space, and the QuietComfort Earbuds accomplish this with gusto.- Superb active noise cancellation, Warm, rich sound quality, Transparency mode blends with ANC, Excellent mics for calls and digital assistant use, Instant connectivity
- Disappointing battery life, Bulky and heavy
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!
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.- Great noise-cancelling
- Fantastic sound quality
- Fit is secure and comfortable for long periods
- Wireless charging case an added bonus
- Design is quite chunky
- Case could offer more charge
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.- Class leading noise canceling
- Comfy
- secure fit
- Tight
- present audio
- Chunky design
- Case has mediocre battery

Bose took its sweet time making wireless earbuds with noise-cancellation. But the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds are finally available and, well, they're fantastic.
