[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have the Apple AirPods Plus and the new Bose. Though both are good, I enjoy Bose’s sound and noise cancelling a bit better!
But the phone call quality is not tolerable, people I called tell me they cannot hear me clearly, there is a constant circuit flow hamming and voices are broken.though I can hear clearly of other end.

Hey Bob! Glad to hear you love the noise-cancellation of these earbuds. The specially designed microphone array will help block out surrounding noise and amplify yours. I'd recommend testing the earbuds with some other devices, and also attempting a product reset to clear any minor issues. If the difficulties persist, reach out to us at https://bose.life/38Q1vZs, and we'll help get this resolved.
When I was first fitting the ear buds in my ear, it was about 4 AM, and the next thing I know, my iPhone was calling a friend of mine. I must have held on to the ear bud too long or something. The firmware has been overall, disappointing. The noise cancellation is good. The fit is not as comfortable as other Bose in the ear buds, so I can wear them for about an hour. The sound is good. Overall, I had a better experience with the Apple noise cancelling Airpod Pros.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] In addition to superb variable noise cancelling these earbuds stay in-ear because of the wing tips much more so than the AirPod pros. Hearing ambient noises when I need to and staying in ear are what makes these great for outdoor activities especially cycling/running
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased these ear buds about a several weeks ago . I like the the way it fits in my ear . They are less cumbersome. Great sound . Easy to set up and control with the app . It does however has trouble with connecting to app .
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Phenomenal noise cancelling and sound quality. Just a little large for my ear holes and is slightly uncomfortable (even with the small cups). It's definitely worth wearing to drown out the noise of 2020, though! Wish it had volume control.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These things are way quieter than expected. The noise cancelling feature substantially minimizes the lawnmower noise while the music is playing very clearly. They also drastically minimize to nearly non existant inside noises such as fans, the cat meowing, the vacuum, etc. They are pricey, but worth it in my opinion. They lock in the ear quite well despite physical activity on the treadmill or doing yard work.
