I somehow doubt Dr. Amar Bose could have foreseen that the active noise-canceling tech he developed in the 1970s would one day find itself in what might have been considered back then as magical, glorified earplugs. Yet, here we are. The Bose QuietComfort Earbuds have arrived and they are brawny, a little bulky, and fashionably late to the party. Also, I really like them. Competitors have been cranking out ANC earbuds since 2018, and the past year has seen some excellent options coming from companies like Sony, Jabra, Sennheiser, 1More, and plenty of others. I presume the reason we’ve had to wait this long to see Bose’s answer is that, in true Bose fashion, it wasn’t going to come to market with true wireless ANC buds until it was convinced they were the best. The good news is that the $280 Bose QuietComfort Earbuds are excellent in many ways. The bad news is: They aren’t for everyone. Read on to find out if Bose’s buds are a good fit for you. The Bose QuietComfort Earbuds come nestled...

Best noise-canceling buds; Excellent call quality; Exciting audio quality; Solid battery life; Secure fit;

No multi-point connection; A bit bulky;

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

Love it. Fit properly and the most important thing is the quality of the sound. Even when you use for talk, people can tell that quality is really good compare with other product

Overall would say that the experience with his headphones are pretty good the noise cancellation is adequate but not the best the Bluetooth capabilities are a bit of pain in the butt with the iPhone 11 Pro seems to have a difficult time of connecting or staying connected with the phone sometimes it drops out wanna hear me connect the other or may not connect or there will be issues with just trying to get the machine to connect to the iPhone in general. Overall the battery life seems to be pretty good the sound quality also seems to be good the noise cancellation needs a little bit more work. And the Bluetooth connectivity needs a lot more work.

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!

Preordered and received them sooner than expected. These ear buds are truly amazing, but can’t say they are perfect. Pros: Amazing sound quality Outstanding noise cancelling Comfortable for all day wear Long battery life Cons: Only one in my opinion. When using them on phone calls, people on the receiving end of my call can hear all of my background noise, and it’s so loud that they can’t stay on the call for too long. Is their a software patch for this issue. All in all they are great ear buds for listening to music, podcasts but not so good with phone calls.

[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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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;

Buds are fairly large (they stick out of your ears); Noise reduction for calls could be better; Pretty pricey;
