I've had the original Earbuds since they were introduced. I also use the Bose A20 aviation headset. Both products are the gold standard for noise cancellation. On a recent trip, I discovered that I had forgotten my Earbuds. Bought the Earbuds II at the airport. They are smaller and thus a little harder to handle. As an example, they are a bit difficult to retrieve from the case. Also, getting the fit right now involves trying two different pieces per earbud. The original Earbuds allowed for a perfect fit with fewer parts. All that said, the new Earbuds are just as good as the original.
I purchase these in January 2023, returned for repair in March 2023. Same issue (right or left sound distorted). I’m not sure why but this is my fourth ear product that I’ve returned for the same issue. Love Bose products and been a fan for years but I cannot understand what’s going on—

Music is my life and that being said I have tried many various types of earbuds, from AirPods to Galaxy live and even bone conduction and I can honestly say that the Bose Quiet Comfort 2 earbuds are in a class all by themselves! From the actual sound of the music to fit and ease of use, I will never listen to music without my Bose Quiet Comfort 2 earbuds. I love them so much that I even purchased some Quiet Comfort 45 Headphones and I have never even owned actual headphones before. I love my music, especially when it’s coming from my Bose headphones and earbuds. Oh yeah, the 2 day express free delivery was very nice as well so I didn’t have to wait long to experience the beautiful sounds. Thanks very much Bose, and you have a loyal customer and fan forever…🤩
Overall for everyday use they’re a solid product and I like them. It’s an adjustment from daily use of the Bose Sports Buds. I would recommend Bose wear these ear buds on a New Jersey Transit bus a few times. None of the modes made listening through these buds an enjoyable experience while commuting, not even Commuter mode. Other everyday activities have been fine.
