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

These buds excel with their many Active Noise Cancellation features, but that's about it

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.

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

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.

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

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.

SBC and AAC; no aptX or Bluetooth multipoint; Bose Music app required to switch between devices; Lacks in-app EQ; Bulky; Price

They sound great; the Bluetooth is good; and the battery life is potent.

They're enormous and fit can be difficult.

The Bose QuietComfort Earbuds deliver an energetic, balanced sound and brilliant noise-cancelling. A serious candidate for best-in-class

Exciting; entertaining sound; Superb balance; Impressive noise-cancelling
