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!

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

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

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.

Since the inception of the QuietComfort brand, Bose has been the leader in noise-cancelling headphones and earphones. But the QuietComfort Earbuds are in uncharted territory for QC products, as they enter a category that already has an established leader—the $249 Apple AirPods Pro—a role Bose has typically played in the past. And at $279.95, the QuietComfort Earbuds must not only sound fantastic in order to compete with the AirPods Pro, they need to offer noise cancellation that's just as good or slightly better in order to justify the $30 premium. From an audio standpoint, both pairs offer solid sound quality with rich bass and sculpted highs. As for ANC (active noise cancellation), the QuietComfort Earbuds offer the best we’ve heard in this category to date, edging out the AirPods Pro to earn our Editors' Choice for noise-cancelling true wireless earbuds.Design Available in beige or black designs, the QuietComfort Earbuds feature bulky, but lightweight, earpieces. The fit is su...

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;

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.
