Got these on the first day of release. I truly didn't care for the prior QC Earbuds 1 so I was hopeful that this product would be an improvement over that. Bose DELIVERED!!!!!
The noice cancelling is like not others. Superb sound quality. But missing some useful features. Wish you'd bring back wireless charging. Need a better way to switch between devices from the earbuds or case.
Whenever I get earbuds I always need to have noise cancellation, amazing sound quality and deep bass. The QC II earbuds have all 3. The sound quality is the same level as the AirPods Pro and probably even better. What makes it better is the Bose music app that you can use to customize your sound experience with the EQ. With this, I was able to increase the bass, being a metalhead it’s super important. And the noise cancellation was superb, even without it activated, the buds provide a solid seal without it being activated. These are significantly better than the previous QC earbuds, in terms of design, and comfort and sound quality.
So, I love the way they fit especially compared to the series 1. I also bought the Apple Air Pod Pro Gen 2 and am giving the edge to Bose due to sound quality and Noise Cancelling. That said, I gave it only 4 stars because I fully charged them and then put them in my computer case where they sat for 1 week and I pulled them back out and they were both down to 10% charge. That's a complete deal breaker for me. That said, the Gen 1 would last forever and keep a full charge so I suspect it's a software glitch. I did upgrade the case when I received it and once I recharged the pods it showed an update for the pods. I fully charged them on Monday night and it's now Thursday and I just connected them to my phone and they show 100%. I'm not yet 100% sure that the issue is resolved so I'm leaving my review at 4 for the moment.
I’ve had them for about 2 weeks. They definitely have become one of my top 5. Just don’t like the fact that the left bud can’t be used independently.

Hi Theo,
We're glad to hear that you're loving your headphones!
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.
Personally I’m having an issue with the fact that the volume control is set at a level that is no different than the quiet comfort earbuds that I currently have as well and I’m seriously tempted to return the product.
I have always used Bose Quiet Comfort. Love the sound and quality. New phones don't have wired earphone plugs anymore so I needed to get air buds. I did some research and almost go the Samsung ones thinking it would be the appropriate match since they just released a brand new model and had great reviews. However, I saw Bose was coming out with these so I decided to wait a month until they were released and placed a pre order. History repeats itself. If you love Bose in any of their product line, you will LOVE these. Beautiful sound quality, easy auto connect, great battery life and really good pricing. You can use one at a time and once it comes on as soon as you put them in your ear. Same goes when you take them out, they auto turn off. Also, super comfortable. Fits perfectly in my ear. Bose did it again. So happy with my purchase. So much, that now I want to buy the portable speaker they came out with. I tried it last night and it was awesome. Much better then by JBL and a bit better than the Sonos. Bravo
