Great design, but poor phone call quality.

I had high expectations for a product that's the most expensive in the market. ANC is great, design looks good, but the phone call quality is poor. Everyone I talked to on the phone (except for the Bose rep) said the call was picking up a lot of background noise. This was the main reason I purchased this product and expected better.

Hi Ryan,
It's great that you love the ANC and design of the earbuds. I'm surprised that you're having trouble with the call quality. Please make sure that you've got the earbuds orientated correctly to ensure the best pick up. You can find helpful steps here https://bose.life/3XrZtsF that can help. We'd also love to help you directly, please reach out to us again here https://bose.life/38DNELy for further support.
the sound quality and noise cancelling function are very good. I'm using several earbuds, but I think this will be the main. But it's a little uncomfortable to take one Earbud out of the case.
There's no wireless charging, and single earbud use should have been functional out of the box. Charging case is a bit cheap feeling for the price point. Excellent sound quality, with seemingly intentional drawbacks. You can't push boundaries if you're (intentionally) pulling punches to waste the money of those that invest in your products. Do better.

Hi Maggie,
Thanks for leaving your thoughts on the new QC Earbuds II. It's great to hear you were impressed by the sound quality offered by the product and we'll be sure to feed back your comments regarding everything else.
As great as your QuietComfort® Earbuds II sound together, we know there are times when you want to use just one of your earbuds. You can now use either the left or right earbud for listening and calls with Independent Single-Bud Use. This new feature lets you seamlessly switch between your earbuds, and if one earbud runs out of battery life or disconnects from Bluetooth®, you can continue listening with the other earbud without interruption. To access Independent Single-Bud Use, make sure the software on your QuietComfort® Earbuds II is up to date.
I have tried many brands of earbuds from Apple to Jabra and JBL, Plantronics and compared to these BOSE QUITECOMFORT EARBUDS II NONE OF THE OTHER BRANDS STACK UP TO THESE BOSE QUITECOMFORT EARBUDS II . They fit securely and block out background noise so you can hear the Music Very Clearly. You can customize your listening to your surroundings through the Bose App. They are vey light and I have been wearing them for up to 6 hours straight without them hurting my ears. I have to give it to BOSE for making something this small and comfortable to produce exceptional quality Audio Sound.
If I was happy with my prior BOSE earbuds because of their excellent noise cancellation, I am in ecstasy with the II. Noise cancellation is superb and sounds are crispier if I could use the word to describe voices on films/videos and music. In addition, the case is sleeker, svelter and…why not…chic?
