Great Value Proposition
Background: I’m an audiophile who is about $4.5k deep in his stereo setup so it is surprising to say this but I really dig these earbuds. Bose usually targets non-audiophiles as their sound signature is a “sculpted” V shape whereas audiophiles look for neutrality or a straight line across the frequency spectrum. The Value Proposition: With that in mind, I think people overestimate the ability of more expensive wireless options like the Sony and Senhesier to deliver that neutrality, regardless of earbud/over-ear design. Most of us use iPhones as music players which don’t accept hi-res wireless codes and are a PIA to use with wired headphones without carrying around a radio shack/dongle city. These Bose look like a comparatively good value: at $200 they undercut the companies mentioned above that have ANC earbuds which are $280 and $250. That it just more than I want to spend on a pair of earbuds, which typically have a short shelf life anyway due to loss, poor build quality, depleting battery life, and rapidly changing tech… Sound: these are a far cry from the first Bose I owned, the OG quiet comforts in middle school with the battery box built into the 3.5mm cable. Dynamic range, note-to-note distinction, and tonal accuracy are improved significantly. They’re much more musical even if detail retrieval isn’t top of the line. But how could it be with standard AAC, SBC codecs? Moreover, even if they did have more advanced codecs like APT-X HD and LDAC, my iPhone is my mobile music player and doesn’t accept them anyway. So really unless you’re on Android, paying for them is a waste of money. You’re not getting the data. Overall; sound signature is controlled, bass heavy, and musical if not neutral. I can live with it for a mobile solution because I do critical listening at home due to the inherent compromises of mobile, which leads to my next point nicely. Active Noise Cancellation: This is where these earbuds shine. Whether you’re living in the city, commuting to work by train, dealing with construction, trying to mow the lawn, whatever: these babies block out the world with the best ANC I’ve heard in an earbud and you are immersed in your music. I accidentally turned on my 1100W stereo in the next room to 50% volume with a butt dial and had no idea it was playing while wearing these. Without this quiet space, you’re wasting your time trying to hear the music in detail. That is why I think these are an incredible value proposition that make sense for a mobile solution. Battery: It’s fine, expected 6 hours without the charging case. That is better than Apple by several hours. I expect to have these for 3 years and then upgrade to something with longer battery life as technology improves and lithium ion depletes with age. Calls: They’re great, I use them for Zoom calls almost every day. If they could connect to multiple devices at once that would be cool, but it is no dealbreaker. Build Quality: Last but not least, audiophiles know that with consistent use wear and tear happens so we prioritize a robust build that will hold up with thousands of hours of listening. These things deliver. I’ll take the bulkier case with a stronger hinge. The slightly bigger earbuds are fine because they’re built solidly. I just can’t get on board with the chintzy Apple/Beats products that look like they’re built from dollar store plastics, like they’re going to fall apart in 6 months. Same thing for cheap alternatives from Anker and similar budget brands (you get what you pay for). Wrap Up: mobile music listening is full of compromises and I think Bose has created an excellent product that delivers where it counts. If you want to do critical listening, do yourself a favor and invest in a pair of open-back headphones and amp at home or better yet a stereo setup you can enjoy with others. What Hi-Fi is a good, accessible place to start for recommendations and Stereofile is more advanced. For everything else, when I’m running around doing errands, on the plane next to a screaming baby, or just trying to cut down the noise of traffic/construction while working, these will deliver nicely. Plan to keep, will update in 1, 6, 12 months ************************************************************************************************************* Updated 10/2022: I’m happy other buyers found this review useful. Forgot to update this sooner, needless to say, still love these babies - the version 1’s - and they would still be the wireless buds I would spend my money on today inclusive of new models.

Love these earbuds
I've only had these earbuds for 4 days, so I don't know much about battery life, but everything else about them has made me happy. I have 3 air conditioners and 2 fans running in my apartment, and the ANC cuts the noise down to a whisper allowing me to only hear the music. And the music sounds crisp and clear with good bass (for ear buds, anyway). The buds rest on the outside of your ear canals instead of jamming down inside, which makes them more comfortable for extended periods of time and the rubber fins hold them in place well. I've owned the Bose Sport earbuds for around a year, and they have the same fins. They've never once fallen out. (I've lost every other earbud that I've used at one time or another.) The QC buds feel just as secure and just as comfortable as the Sport buds. They are fairly large compared to other earbuds, but it's not noticable when I'm using them. Also, the case is pretty big, but I don't carry the case around in my pocket, so that doesn't bother me either. Call quality is pretty good. Everyone says they can hear me well. If you're trying to decide between the Sport or QC earbuds, I think the QC have only slightly better sound when listening to music, but the noise cancelling makes a big difference. You can hear everything better without the background noise, even at lower volume. The call quality, however, is significantly better with the QC. Right now, it's tempting to leave these on from the time I get home from work until I go to bed. They're very comfortable, and the noise isolation is quite peaceful. Hopefully I'll still like them this much in a month or 2. Update for the QC2: I've always been a function over form kind of person, so I didn't really care what the original QC buds looked like (the extra large size that everyone complains about), and maybe I'm showing my age, and I might be the only person on the planet that says this, but I think the first generation QC buds were more comfortable. The QC2s go farther into my ear canal, and my ears get sore a lot more quickly. Yes, they do look a significantly more stylish. I would also trade the new, smaller case for the first gen case that has a row of indicator lights that show how much charge is remaining. The new case has one solitary light that flashes different colors to tell me something 🤷🏼♂️ in some sort of indiscernible Morse code. The older, larger buds are also easier for me to handle. The new ones are like slippery, squirrelly jumping beans that never go where I'm trying to put them. But..... These new buds sound really good. I mean, they sound good enough that I'm not even considering returning them. The ANC is unbelievable, and the bass has even more punch than the first gen. They have a nice clean sound, like every other Bose product, and my ears are gradually tolerating them longer each time I use them. I'm keeping the first generation buds for when my ears get sore, or when the battery dies because I couldn't decipher the inscrutable case light, but I'm using the new ones most of the time. For me, the sound quality negates all other quibbles. Still 5⭐s.

No es ninguna noticia que su estuche de carga es INMENSO, y aunque los auriculares también son bastante grandes, sorpresivamente tienen un agarre ESPECTACULAR, puedes girar tu cabeza lo más rápido que puedas y NO SE CAEN, su agarre es notoriamente mejor que la generación anterior, pero quizá sean un poco más cansados de llevar que la generación anterior. El nivel de cancelacion de ruido es ESCANDALOSAMENTE BUENO, tanto para escuchar música como para hacer llamadas, al grado de que puedes hacer con ellos una llamada a un metro de un compresor industrial de 5Hp's y te escuchan sin problema alguno, lo cual era una debilidad de la generación anterior, las llamadas, y ahora es una fortaleza, una de las mayores. Estan diseñados para usarse con ambos auriculares a la vez, y sólo puedes configurar un geest o para o adelantar o regresar la canción, de modo que alguno de esos dos comandos vas a perder con estos auriculares incluso teniendo puestos ambos, cuando por ejemplo, los Huawei Freebuds Pro te permiten adelantar y regresar canciones, subir y bajar volumen, con cualquiera de los dos auriculares. Les falta la función Speak to Talk de Sony, cuyos WF-1000XM4 por el mismo precio, te dan esa muy útil función, y tienen mejores medios, y son más pequeños tanto auriculares como estuche y aún así, dan mejor autonomía de batería. Los de Sony son un producto más redondo, más completo, esos tienen el codec LDAC para mayor fidelidad en la transmisión de la música, sólo hay una cosa en la que los Bose son superiores, la cancelación de ruido, pero en mi caso, que trabajo en un ambiente industrial muy ruidoso, estos QC Earbuds me dan una cancelación de ruido incluso superior a la de los audífonos de diadema QC 35 II y repito, hice una llamada a un metro de un compresor industrial encendido, con mi cel en la bolsa, y me entendieron el 100% de mis palabras (y viseversa) por lo que para alguien que la cancelación de ruido sea lo más importante (como es mi aso) estos Bose QC Earbuds son lo mejor que hay al momento, pero para quienes no les sea la cancelación de ruido lo más importante, los WF-1000XM4 son superiores en todo lo demás, al mismo precio.

If you are like me and don't feel comfortable with ear pieces that go inside the ear you need to try Bose models like this, the design of the piece that fits in your ear is without doubt so comfortable and fits perfectly without: - Bothering you or making it feel uncomfortable - Don't pop out of your ear suddenly - Sound doesn't feel like something has them covered or your under water - Almost will forget about them I haven't gotten the new models and my only take on them is I wish they were: - Lighter - Smaller in size - Allowed to work independently, currently the right piece works as a master and left piece as a slave (sorry if this is too technical) But for people that have ears like mine and hate the earphones that go inside your ear, trust me you will love the fit feeling and never go with anything else.

I bought the Bose QuietComfort Noise Cancelling Earbuds after trying its 2 main competitors : Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro and Apple AirPods Pro. I do not understand why some reviews are so good for the Apple AirPods Pro. The noise cancelling is really not that great, far inferior to Bose and Samsung earbuds. The Apple AirPods Pro I had kept emitting funny noises and the left one was hissing. Apple exchanged it. It worked for a while but the same type of problems came back. This time I was out of their warranty. I then bought the Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro. Used them for a week. Returned them. The noise cancelling was quite good, better then Apple. I did not like the fit. The reason I returned them had to do with 2 things: they would skip ounce in a while, more then what I found acceptable and once in a while, one of the buds would not work. If you put it back in the case, put it back on then it would work. Very annoying. After the Apple adventure, I did not take any chances and returned them. Then I bought Bose QuietComfort Noise Cancelling Earbuds and I have been using them for a month. They are by far the best of the 3. The noise cancelling is really the best. I have done the same noise test with all of them. Bose wins! The fit is excellent. You kind of forget you are wearing them. They have little wings that keeps them in the ears. The sound quality is very good, better then Apple and on par with Samsung. You can adjust the noise cancelling by using their App or tapping on the left earbud. You can program it so that when your phone is ringing, if you insert the earbuds in your ear, it connects automatically to the phone. That said, they are not perfect. I would have liked them to provide a voice feedback when you tap the noise cancelling earbud. I have 4 Apple devices. When you switch from a device to an other, you have to use their App to disconnect it from the previous device and connect it to the new one. That is somewhat annoying. Apple is better for that aspect. Also, they cost more then Apple or Samsung. Nevertheless I am quite pleased with my Bose QuietComfort Noise Cancelling Earbuds. I’ll stick with them. Considering the fact that I use them everyday, the extra money they cost is more then worth it.

Als grundsätzlich zufriedener Jabra 85t Nutzer, fielen mir diese bei längerem Tragen fast schon aus den Ohren bzw. fielen tatsächlich selten raus. Also war ich wieder auf der Suche und hab von den 1MORE Comfobuds Pro, über die Anker Liberty Air 2 Pro, über die Sony WF-1000XM3 bis zu den Bose QuietComfort nun einige ausprobiert - vor allem auch in div. Preisregionen. Final bleib ich jetzt erst Mal bei den Bose und versuche folgend zu beschreiben, warum... Pro + + der unverkennbare Bose Sound. Kraftvolle und fast schon dominante Bässe (aber eben nur fast). Ein unglaublich dynamisches und erstaunlich großes Klangvergnügen, das allen Bose Fans vertraut sein dürfte und auch mich, als Bose Neuling vollends überzeugt hat. Persönlich spiele ich zwar bei jedem Modell am Anfang mit dem Equalizer etc., verliere aber schnell den Spaß daran und stelle dann eh wieder alles auf Flat bzw. das ANC auf max. oder aus. + Apropos ANC: dieses hängt maßgeblich und vorwiegend mit dem Sitz der Ohrstecker zusammen und kann damit nicht verallgemeinert werden. In meinem Fall hatten die 85t das schwächste ANC (im High Price Segment) und saßen auch am lockersten. Die Sony waren ebenfalls herausragend, da man eben auch vieles noch einstellen kann. Dennoch ist die private Blase bei den Bose doch noch einmal merklich dicker und mit Abstand das Beste, was ich bis dato IN den Ohren hatte. Selbstredend ist dieser Umstand den ovalen Earpads und -wings geschuldet, die die Bose 100%ig an Ort und Stelle halten. Trotzdem bin ich laut dem roten Play etc. nicht der Einzige, den dieses ANC aus den Socken haut. + das Case unterstütz wireless Charging (was z.B. Sony noch nicht tut) und hat Status LEDs, die den Ladezustand anzeigen. Abgesehen davon liegen die Bose, dank magnetischem Sitz, absolut sicher und der Deckel geht gedämpft auf, was mir persönlich wirklich Spaß macht. + die Akkulaufzeit geht mit knapp 5,5 Std. auch in Ordnung. + die Bose sind IPX4 zertifiziert und damit auch zum Outdoor Sport etc. geeignet. Man glaubt es kaum, aber die wasserresistente Eigenschaft haben die wenigsten true wireless InEars - ein Unding in unseren Breitengraden. + Bose hat, produktübergreifend, das beste Ausblenden von Wind. Hier versagen der Großteil anderer Mitbewerber leider, Bose punktet hier voll. Selbst im offenen Cabrio werde ich noch bestens verstanden. Und auch andere Geräusche (z.B. laufenden Wasserhahn, ein großes Manko der Airpods Pro) werden konsequent gefiltert. + die Touchbedienung klappt zuverlässig, auch wenn man manchmal doppelt klicken muss. Neutral o o das Case ist nicht groß, es ist gigantisch. Was sich Bose dabei gedacht hat, keine Ahnung. Dass es aber auch kleiner geht, beweisen zig andere Mitbewerber. Selbst als Mann mit über 1,9m Körpergröße und kein Träger von skinny Jeans kann und will man das Case nicht in der Hosentasche tragen. Die einzig vernünftige Alternative wäre für mich, um die Dinger auch unterwegs verstauen zu können, z.B. eine Art Neckband, an das man die Ohrstecker klipsen könnte, um sie dann im Kragen verschwinden zu lassen. Dafür müsste man sie dann aber ausschalten können... die Katze beißt sich an dieser Stelle leider in den Schwanz. o das Pairen klappt schnell und problemlos. Einziger Wermutstropfen: nimmt man die Sonys aus dem Case erscheint, analog zum Apfel, auf meinem S21 ein Foto und die Frage, ob ich koppeln möchte. Das schafft Bose leider nicht und man muss erstmalig umständlich in`s Menü etc. o das ANC ist zwar in 10 Stufen anpassbar, ganz aus bekommt man es aber nicht. D.h. je leiser es eingestellt wird, um so lauter wird paradoxer Weise das Grundrauschen. o die App ist ansprechend und intuitiv. Leider fehlt ein Equalizer und die individuelle Einstellung der Kommandos. Zwar kann man mittlerweile wenigstens die Lautstärke direkt einstellen, alles andere ist aber vorgegeben und nicht wirklich vielfältig. Man kann vorskipen, aber nicht zurück. Geschweige denn vor- und zurück spulen. Keine Ahnung was so kompliziert daran ist, Kommandos auf beiden Seiten zuzulassen bzw. frei belegen zu können, aber es hat vmtl. einen Grund?! o der Sitz ist dank der Earwings bombastisch. Egal ob man Kaugummi kaut, nebenbei Arbeitet oder Sport macht, die Bose sitzen immer perfekt in den Ohren. Warum also neutral?! Weil ich am Anfang mit den Earwings echt Probleme hatte und mir schnell die Ohren weh getan haben. Trotzdem habe ich es jetzt ein paar Tage durchgezogen, einfach wg. dem Sound und ANC, und siehe da: der Mensch ist ein Gewohnheitstier. Man gewöhnt sich tatsächlich daran und sollte es - im Fall der Fälle - einfach ein paar Tage ausprobieren. o beim Telefonieren hingegen wird den Bose ein leicht blecherner Klang attestiert, hier sind die 85t ungeschlagen und z.B. die Sony dagegen noch ein wenig leiser und blecherner. Also brauchbar, aber definitiv nicht gedacht für ausschweifende Meetings etc. Contra - - die Bose unterstützen kein Multipoint, was kein Geheimnis ist. Um ehrlich zu sein, muss das noch nicht einmal negativ sein, nervt es mich abartig, wenn ich mit den Jabra im/um`s Haus unterwegs war, dass ständig die Meldung kam "Connected" / "Disconnected", immer wenn ich in Reichweite vom Diensthandy/Tablet war, oder eben nicht. Also hat alles Vor- und Nachteile. Was mich aber echt ärgert: die Bose machen auf stur! Die WF-1000XM3 können auch kein Multipoint, wenn ich allerdings mit meinem S21 verbunden bin und auf dem Diensthandy (iPhone) auf Verbinden drücke, dann trennen sie sich automatisch vom Samsung und verbinden sich mit dem iPhone (und umgedreht natürlich genauso). Bei den Bose muss ich ernsthaft erst die Verbindung zum Ersthandy manuell trennen, um es dann mit dem neuen Handy verbinden zu können. Ein echtes Unding. - was mir ebenfalls nicht sonderlich gefällt: man hört vor allem am Anfang, wenn man die Ohrstecker einsetzt, einen deutlichen Versatz zu den beiden. Dieser wiederholt sich gelegentlich beim Hören, z.B. wenn man sich weiter vom Handy (Quelle) entfernt und auch das ANC quittiert spontane und merkliche Lautstärkenveränderung mit unschönem Knacken und Klicken. Das können anderer leider besser. Fazit: die Hauptkriterien für mich - gefälliger Klang (in den Grundeinstellungen), guter und vor allem sicherer Sitz und ein hervorragendes ANC - erfüllen die QuietComfort Buds vollends und ich freue mich jedes Mal, wenn ich sie mir in die Ohren drehe. Trotzdem sind sie nicht perfekt und das an Stellen, die mir als Laien unverständlich sind (z.B. das Thema mit den Kommandos). Auch stört mich, dass ich sie eigentlich nur da nutzen kann/will, wo ich auch das Case unkompliziert lagern kann (Aktentasche, Rucksack etc.). Mal schnell zum einkaufen, wo ich höflicher Weise natürlich die Dinger aus den Ohren nehme, um mit den Verkäufern zu kommunizieren, Mal auf dem Weg in`s Cafè und dem Rad etc. überlege ich es mir zweimal, ob ich sie dann lose in die Tasche stecke oder gleich daheim lasse. Da ich mich aber kenne, ich schon sehr gespannt auf die WF-1000XM4 von Sony bin und eh gern mal rumprobiere, und der Releasezyklus von Bose nicht darauf hoffen lässt, dass es bald schon verbesserte Nachfolger geben wird, muss jeder für sich abwägen, wo die eigenen Prioritäten liegen. Im Großen und Ganzen aber ausgezeichnete Kopfhörer, die wahnsinnig viel Spaß machen und die nur empfehlen kann! Viel Freude damit und allzeit wunderbare Musikmomente.
