Well, the sound quality is great! Immersive Audio is awesome. There is much room for improvement on phone calls with these buds. the NC700, great mic pickup. The QC45 good pickup but it's omnidirectional, so not good in a noisy environment. These buds can't just be good sound. They need good microphone pickup. Right now they are only good for ANR and Immersive. I won't use them for any phone call, I'll use my airpods.

The noise.cancellation, sound quality and base is amazing. Wish the fit was better. They need to come back with the winglet earpiece so it doesn't fall out so easily.
Perfect when it goes to design and fit, but it is all about it. When it goes to sound: - Compared sound with Pixel Buds Pro - sound I hear on my end is obviously lower on Bose earbuds when it is set to max on my phone - Noise cancelling for listener. I was verifying it with running dispenser on my catching and staying on the same spot. It is good on Bose, almost like on Pixel Buds Pro, but not as good - Noise cancelling for the other party on a call. I was verifying it with running kitchen sink disposer and staying on the same spot. I can hear disposer relatively well comparing to Pixel Buds, but cancellation is still good. Pixel Buds sometimes slightly cancelling my speech together with noise, Bose let's speech go better but noise is there much higher. Overall feeling is that Pixel Buds is much more friendly for counterparty of voice call in noisy environments
Generally, expectation from Bose is higher than from Google, but results are behind.

I bought these about a month and a half ago, and I'm very disappointed in the volume they are not very loud, and the updates are lacking,also a 3 band equalizer is not good for the amount I paid for them, give me more customization.
