Comfortable to wear for hours. Lock in place, don’t back out of my ear. Sound is great Bose sound. ANC is top notch and lots of features. If you consider this a con, which I don’t, but no wireless charging.
I previously purchased the Bose Quiet Comfort earbuds and absolutely loved them. I prefer a smaller earbud. So when the QC II earbuds came out, I bought them. I continue to hear static intermittently. It’s gotten very irritating. I never had these problems with the first series of QC earbuds. I’ve tried to disconnect and reset the QC II earbuds but it doesn’t help.

I have a pair of the original QC buds and am very satisfied with them. Then came the QC2 and I couldn't understand how the QC quality could get any better. But they are better. First they are smaller and more balanced. The system securing the buds to our ears are more comfortable and less noticeable and much easier to set in your ear correctly. The sound quality is clearly better than the original QC buds. The sound stage is more defined, and the overall sound is less bassy. The QC2 seems to handle ATMOS music better than he QC1 as well. To tell you the truth I prefer the QC 1 case better because of the secure latching. There is no latch on the QC 2 case. So if you are thinking about upgrading to the QC- 2 do it and enjoy!
The sound and noice cancelling is really good. The fit is not that great even after trying multiple combinations is the ear inserts.

I live in a noisy apartment, and when I use the Bose Earbuds, it's almost as if I am transported to a silent environment. I had a pair of noise-cancelling earbuds made by another company, and they didn't work nearly as well. The sound quality is very good, although a little boomy in the middle frequencies.
