Received the air buds about three weeks ago. Noise cancellation was good for about a week and a half. There is crackling noises at times coming from both earbuds. And every once in a while, a swishing sound comes while you are listening to a station.

I purchased these a couple of weeks ago based on previous Bose products I’ve used and own. I have an iPhone 14 Pro Max and really struggled with the operation. The earbuds felt great in my ears but I had to reconnect to the app or phone after each time I removed them from my case. I was used to the flawless operation and connection with my AirPods. I really wanted to like these but I feel they fall short when paired with iPhones.

I upgraded from the Bose Sport to these. The nose canceling works amazing and the sound is superb. Perfect amount of bass and well balanced highs and lows. If you are debating on buying or upgrading you will see why Bose is regarded as the leader in premium headphones!
I’m on pair 4 of Bose headphones. I opted for the quiet comfort 2 because, ‘ooh fancy’ and I hate them. My second pair of soundsport just wore out and wouldn’t hold a charge after years and I lost my closest thing to soundsport just recently. If you have your headphones in but not active for long periods the sound is reluctant to come back, requiring disconnects from Bluetooth, forgetting your device, and restarting. Today at the gym I had to go back to my case which I keep in the car, to get them to work. I liked the three tap pause better because it was more deliberate than the one for adjusting. I hate the volume slider, full stop. One finger running parallel to the shape of your ear after a double tap, guys. This accidentally Turing down the volume than stopping the song stuff is so frustrating. They also retain sweat up against your ear, but idk how you’d practically fix that and it isn’t bad, just not ideal. Sound quality, good. Charge capacity fine. Absolutely no clip for your belt. The product is fine, but the practical application of is a nightmare for me, and if I didn’t have multiple good experiences to round it out I would go elsewhere with my headphone dollar.

The ability to toggle between the Aware and Quiet mode (which is surprisingly efficient at noise cancelling) convinced me that I had made a wise purchase. Being both an audiophile and bass lover, the equalizer control is perfect for setting a general tone levels, yet easily changed on-the-fly to accommodate music sources of different quality & genres.
