The earbuds and the QCE app are pretty amazing! I was easily able to switch the noise canceling from on to off and to their third option, which is called “Awareness”. I was also able to switch between devices very smoothly and it has the option to connect to two different devices simultaneously. You can adjust the touch and voice settings easily, as well as equalizing the base and treble. Would recommend for any music lover and multiple device user.

Simply Fantastic Sound

I have been a Bose wired earbud user for many, many years, as I believed that they would provide the best sound quality for my music. Well the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds definitely changed my opinion, especially for listening to music. The sound they produce is fantastic and far superior to my Bose wired earbuds (and it is nice to finally not have to worry about inadvertently catching the wires on something!). I love most genres of music and they all sound fantastic. I am particularly impressed with the full, high quality sound and deep bass for my favorite genre, progressive rock. The noise canceling feature makes listening to music substantially better by drowning out surrounding noises (but it is nice to have the ability to "turn off" the noise canceling feature when the situation merits).
I appreciate the ability to adjust the fit based on your inside ear size which makes them also very comfortable to wear (I had them on for over 3 hours the other day and no discomfort at all). They are also not too clumsy looking when wearing. For the sound they produce I would have expected something a little more bulky. The touch controls on the earbuds themselves took a little getting used to, and were frustrating at first. This is in part due to the wide variety of adjustments and options available on the earbuds. Watching the "How-To" videos that Bose provides definitely helped. I also like the convenience to use voice controls to adjust volume and advance tracks.
The charging case is nice, and I particularly like the way the earbuds fit snuggly and are held in place with tiny magnets (ensuring they are in the proper position for charging). Speaking of charging, I last used them for about 7 hours before I felt the need to recharge the earbuds.
The Bose QC Earbuds app works great too and is necessary to take full advantage of the earbuds (e.g., the EQ feature). Just one note of warning; the app only works for iOS 15 or above. So us old-timers with an iPod Touch that can't accommodate iOS 15 and above can't install and use the app solely on the iPod (but you can still concurrently use the app on your iPhone).
If you particularly enjoy listening to all types of music, I highly recommend a pair of the Bose QC Earbuds. You won't be disappointed. The sound is just simply fantastic and pure Bose!

The product is just stellar, with it being basically half the cost of airpods pros, these earbuds can be tuned to perfection to meet your audio needs, personally I use these more than my airpods now and ive not gone back. Best pick up for kids going into college who need a budget option for audio quality and ANC

True Comfort

A FANTASTIC feel. These really live up to the name. More comfortable than other earbuds I've had. And the Bose sound quality doesn't disappoint. It's what I've come to expect in the best possible way. Clear hi-fi with an impactfull bass that doesn't overwhelm.
I've used these working out and there wasn't any issues with them in a spring environment. The noise cancelation works excellent. I normally don't recommend apps, but with these you'd totally want to get the QCE app to help better customize your buds.
While I can't praise these guys enough in every category, I think the best part is the price. From the quality, I would've guessed these would cost more than double what Bose is selling them for. Which is great, because now there's an earbud on the market that's super high quality and is actually affordable. Highly recommend

Best in class

Typical of Bose, the quality, comfort and sound are superb. These are the first earbuds I’ve had that don’t fall out of my ears at random, and I suspect it’s because of the two points of adjustable fitment (ear canal and outer “dish”), which I love. These stay in my ear most of the day and often into the night, and there is no discomfort or ache from having them in for such long periods of time. The “aware” mode is fantastic and it sounds like there is some electronic amplification of the surrounding ambient noise when in aware mode that is necessitated by the nearly perfect seal these buds have in my ears when positioned correctly. Also typical of Bose quality that is on par with the zen-like silence their QC cans can achieve, is their quiet mode. And likewise, listening to music with these remains best in class. On a side-by-side test of calls with my other brands of earbuds and headphones, callers (zoom and over cell) chose these. They’ve also been problem-free pairing with my Apple ecosystem. The only two issues I’ve found are that they don’t handle high wind environments well, though to be fair, none of my other earbuds do either, and I wish there was a lanyard attachment on the case because it would make them easier to find in my bag a/o attach to something for easy grab and go. Gestures are nicely customizable and easy to remember. They charge quickly and I appreciate the additional charges stored in the case. So…these come out at the top of my line-up for me and they’re the ones I now always reach for. Well done Bose!

This product is excellent and I love it so far. Very simple to use and light weight. The controls are very responsive and the awareness mode amplifies your surroundings so you can actually hear what's happening around you. I'm very happy with these and they look and fit great right out the box.

Amazing sound isolation and great features!

I've been using these since the first day I got them, and I am so impressed! The noise canceling is perfect, and extends to calls as well (I have a relative that always knows when I'm on my blue tooth ear phones, and she couldn'thear anything, and I answered the phone using a shop vac). I love all the features (there is really too many to list, but my faves are the touch controls and the voice controls). The battery also lasts a long time, I didn't even have to recharge the case until over a week after I got them, and I used them for at least two hours a day. The couple things that could be improved are when my hair brushes against the outside of them, it sounds like amplified scratching (probably do to the touch controls), and the case is awkward to open, especially if you have short nails. But the pros severely outweigh the cons, and I am so glad to have these amazing earbuds! I would highly recommend to anyone.

Excellent! This is the first earbuds that actually fit and stay in my ears. The sound quality couldn't be better.
