New QuietComfort Wireless Noise Cancelling Earbuds, Lifestyle Bluetooth Earbuds with Active Noise Cancellation, Up to 8.5 Hours of Battery Life, Black

The clarity is good - and they did mean what they said it gets real loud at full volume. The ANC is decent - it is better than my buds 2 pro. I guess it is definitely value for money for me. I would suggest to get it for less than 10k if and when it goes to that range. The charging case is proper huge box of plastic - and I am not understating it. The buds are really huge - I bought it for exercising and playing squash when alone. Can't comment on longevity - might update if I remember a year later. Battery performance seems to be very good - the mentioned 8.5 hours at 60-70% volume is absolutely doable, and I guess it might even extend - I used it for listening to a book on audible in full volume with ANC for about an hour and it soc dropped by 10% on each bud. The touch controls are over sensitive, and the touches starts getting recognized as soon as the buds are removed from the case. Auto cut off is a hit or off thing - I am seeing it work at times. As a old soundlink headphone and speaker user - I find it good - the sound quality is nice - didn't lose much detail - tried classic rock and even sound staging seems decent which is quite surprising. More than decent for the price I got it for. Please don't pay more than 10k for these pair. While the sound quality and performance will be premium - functionality might be impaired. You can also consider soundcore at that price range - for less than 10k - if premiumness, features and sound quality is the main thing. If you are seeing this bose piece for any price less than 5k again - just swoop in. Don't hesitate.

I never used to like Bose’ products due to less sound customisation. Initially wanted to go for AirPods Pro 2 but saw reviews from users and experts about these buds and decided to take a chance. To my surprise it met all the ticks which I was looking for. Great and crisp sound, equaliser customisation, perfect balance of mids, highs and customisable punchy bass which makes it my perfect companion. The app is nice and important features are maintained. The only regret is there’s no spatial sound feature and the app takes long time to connect to earbuds. Noise cancellation is amazing, but takes times to switch between transparency and NC mode. Bose should improve this app usability. Overall a best pair of earbuds and a must for music enthusiasts.

This is absolutely misleading i just bought this item 20 days and the right bud has stopped working i called amazon they are asking to contact bose directly. And bose customer service is 3rd class they will ask you To ship the item by paying 1k for the pickup service or u will have to visit their store directly which is located andheri. After paying 17k this is what u get cheap product trust me guys it is not value for money at all. I am going to visit their store and will throw on their face and take my money back for sure

Update 3 months usage: 1) Sound grew up on me, i prefer these over reds anyday. 2) Weird connectivity quirks, i nearly thought my earbud died, it happs like 3-4 times a week. i believe it's a software issue and can be fixed with update. 3) Why is bose customer support so bad in India? on US website you can order a replacement No questions asked, here they want me to take these to service centre I own Truthear zero reds and i switched from oppo enco air 3 pro. Sound is subjective but- they sound around 5% worse than truthears, and 30~40% better than oppo, but the sound curve is different so comparison is purely subjective. Sound stage is certainly better than oppo but worse than truthears. Noise cancellation is great but maybe i expected too much, it'll not cut out everything. if music is not playing you'll still hear people next to you talk. all testing done with apple music lossless, even though it's aac only. comfort is good, love the battery coming from enco 🥲🥲. app is great, apparently it'll get immersion audio support in q1 2025 so that's great. verdict: buy under 10k

5 stars for the bose quietcomfort Sound and ANC performance...I was specially looking for a earbuds with best ANC and Buying these buds, I am completely satisfied and have made the right choice. The ANC literally blocks the sound from the outside world while in quite mode. Only drawback is the super bulky case and look n feel of the case is cheap.But this is subjective. If your looking for best in class ANC and sound performance then you must surely get this. I usually dont give my reviews on any products, but the ANC performance has really blown my mind.

I was an airpod pro user - ditched airpod pro for bad battery life and took this: - Audio is decent to good. Noise cancellation is great. - Build quality of charging box, poor. Very cheap plastic feel - Build of head phones decent. - Complex to operate. Especially switching on/off quite mode, aware mode, etc. - Good Configurability via app. - Very long battery life. I use it for run long runs and i am happy. - Fits my years very well. - complex touch system - single touch, double, triple, long and then left and right.. You can configure all but how will you memorize all? Inshort for my music while running perfectly. Silent mode is great too.

Amazing sound ANC is great

Too much satisfied.. bass and treble level, perfect.. ANC again, too good.. no issue with call and battery life undoubtedly good.. One prblm I have noticed, in quite mode while travelling, during jerking it makes a sound (not sound also, but a distortion in sound u will definately fill), it's irrating, soo irrating.. Other than this problem everything simply great.. buy it and fill d punch.. 👍

I have a few things to mention about this product. Firstly, make sure the earphone is securely pressed into your ear; otherwise, it will pause when the sensor isn’t activated. I don’t mind this, as I actually prefer it over my other earphones that keep playing and wasting battery when I’m not listening. In terms of comfort, these earphones are excellent. I can wear them all day without any complaints. However, when I’m in a busy place with no sound playing, the noise cancellation can feel slightly uncomfortable—but that depends on individual sensitivity. While it doesn’t completely block out very loud noises, I’d say it cancels about 95% of ambient sound when walking on the streets or at home. The sound quality is outstanding. You can really hear the highs and lows, as well as the different instruments in a song. I never noticed these details when using cheaper earphones—it’s like rediscovering music. One minor downside is that switching between devices isn’t always seamless. Sometimes it connects instantly, other times it doesn’t. But for me, that’s not a dealbreaker. Also, if you’re next to someone talking, I highly recommend turning on ambient sound mode—otherwise, it’s nearly impossible to hear them. The noise cancellation is that effective. Overall, this product delivers on both comfort and sound quality, making it a great choice.

Rlly good audio !!!!

These are good! I am coming from some older earbuds, namely the original pixel buds pro earbuds. I felt that those earbuds hit a better price point than their successors, the pixel buds pro 2, did. They recently started to give me some trouble and the battery has been degrading quite rapidly, so I know I needed to look for a new set. These Bose buds caught my eye as the largest limitation with the OG pixel buds was their ANC performance. I use earbuds a lot when performing yard work, so drowning out various tools and traffic noise were top of my priorities. Additionally, I did not want to spend 200+ USD on something like the AZ100 or the more premium offers from Sony/Bose. These have filled those requirements nearly perfectly. I am very impressed with ANC performance, they seem very similar to my Sony WH-XM3s. This is a very impressive feat for in ear buds, but I know that the Sonys are a few generations old at this stage. I can say that they handily outperform the pixel buds. This seems especially true with higher frequency sounds. Overall, very impressed with how they handle noise suppression/ANC in busy environments as well. Voices seem to be suppressed quite well. I was also presently suprised by sounds quality. I think that these sound a little better than the OG pixel buds do. Clarity is better, especially in the mids. These also tend to get really loud, especially compared to the pixel buds. I notice I am often not using more than 50% of the volume available to achieve normal listening volumes. Bass is somewhat bloated, overall similar to the Sony WH-XM3s, but this is overall a pleasurable tune and can be adjusted with a 5 band equalizer. There are some potential downsides. While the buds themselves feel high quality, the case feels relatively cheap and oversized. The OG pixelbuds have been rock solid for me. Their case has survived numerous drops and being mistaken for a dog toy a time or two. The Bose QC case feels much lighter and the cover feels much thinner. The hinge also does not feel nearly as robust. With that said, I do appreciate that they sell a replacement charging case for 60$. While it was touched on, I do also want to mention that the case seems just a little too large. It's about 50% thicker than the pixel buds or airpods. It's still very pocketable, but I do not think I will carry them with me at all times like I did with the pixel buds. The intrusiveness of the larger case in conjunction with my concerns about durability make me hesitant. Overall, these are really nice earbuds. I have not experienced any connectivity issues using the latest update. They connect and play quickly as expected. They have had great stability in ear, even while running. I think these strike a very good value for money where spending more may have diminishing returns. I think this is especially relevant as it seems that all wireless earbuds tend to have a lifespan of a few years before they are end of life due to wear or battery degradation. It's hard for me to justify spending more on something I can only expect to last 2-4 years.

Excellent earbuds.

Great noise canceling!
