Didn't think Bose could outdo original Bose quiet comfort. Well, they just broke another barrier. Bose comfort earbud II has more crisp, clear, thunderous quality sound than any earbud on the market.
I've been using these for a couple of weeks (since they launched) and these are by far the best Bose earbuds ever. Noise cancellation is great, though this was expected and has always been the case, but this particular set makes some big improvements that will lead me to use them much more frequently than I have other Bose headsets in the past.
The most important is better phone call and video conference audio quality. I spend many hours each day on the phone and this has historically been a weak point for Bose headsets, but people say they hear me clearly with these on.
The second big improvement is comfort. The slight customizability of these headphones is just enough to make them fit comfortably in my ears - more so than most other headsets.
The much smaller charging case is a plus too.
Lack of multi-point connectivity and moving between devices is clumsy still and could benefit the most from improvement at this point.
Overall, very good and taking "ear share" from my AirPods quickly.
Great Earbuds for listening to music and watching a movie, but for talking to someone on the phone they are horrible. People think your in a cave you sound far away and echoing horrible for that I wish they would have been great for that also and I would have been very very happy with them I love Bose.

I expected great noise cancelation front Bose but the sound quality makes these new buds my favorite. I've used Sony XM4s, LinkBuds S, airpods pro 1 and airpods 3, but the new Bose is the best. Sound quality and comfort plus decent call quality are my main criteria. These hit all the marks for me.
I find that the QC2 sometimes does not want to connect with my iPhone. I have had to “forget this device” and start the pairing process over to get them to connect. Once they are connected I love them.

After owning numerous Bose products, and after using Apple Ear Buds, I can safely say that these are far and away the best for noise suppression and sound quality. I’ve tried them in aircraft - superb! Loud cars - fantastic! Sound quality, even under these conditions, is outstanding! My only quibble is that the light on the case remains on whenever plugged in, it doesn’t change color or simply go out when fully charged. That’s the sum total of my negative comments!
