I just got mine. No need to review. I have all kind of earbuds, all make big name, the minute I put my Bose earbuds on I could hear the difference, “the BOSE difference. One thing the case should have a keychain.
I bought this product assuming it would support noise cancellations during phone calls, but really it is not. after that realised it is mostly used for listening to music. I am not a big-time user of listening to music with these earphones. Very disappointing.

Hi Rajeswari,
We reached out to your directly to let you know that noise cancellation can be used during calls. To recap, When you receive a call, the earbuds remain in the current noise cancelling mode and Self Voice is activated. Self Voice helps you hear yourself speak more naturally. To adjust the noise cancelling mode while on a call, touch and hold an earbud. (Please note that Auto Transparency is disabled while on a call) To adjust Self Voice, use the Bose Music app. You can access this option from the Settings menu.
If you have any questions about this, please feel free to respond to our private message.
I’d like to preface this review with the fact that I love Bose, and this is the first negative experience I’ve had with one of their products. That being said, I recently bought a pair of the new Bose QC Earbuds II, and they gave me trouble. Within the first hour of using them, the individual earbuds would be latent relative to each other and even at times completely loose audio. Not only that, but for some reason, the “active listening” feature or whatever it’s called was always on, and wouldn’t turn off even when I switched to a profile without the feature turned on. Upon discovering these problems, I returned the pair to the Target that I bought them from for a full refund, and bought a second pair from the same target. Unfortunately again, the second pair that I bought was giving me the same issues. I have since returned that pair as well, and I will be waiting some time before I purchase another pair as to rule out any chances of me purchasing a pair from a “bad shipment” or whatever the issue was with the pairs I bought.

Hi, I am sorry to hear you have experienced latency with your earbuds. If you have experienced this with multiple of the same earbuds, it is likely that this is due to interference. I would recommend making sure that your earbuds are at least 5ft away from any wireless devices. If you still have trouble, we have a great guide here to help you get the most out of your earbuds: https://bose.life/40OBtAT
Whilst you cannot turn noise cancellation all the way off, you can create a custom profile and turn noise cancellation down to the lowest setting: https://bose.life/3ZF0gXe
Loved them! Exactly as advertised Good sound, good noise isolation, good connectivity!
The only thing which was rubbish was the "cover" I bought separately for the case. It doesnt quite fit, and because of this feels like a waste of money
