Bose QuietComfort Bluetooth Earbuds, True Wireless Earbuds with Active Noise Cancellation and Mic, Deep Bass, IPX4 Rating, Up to 8.5 Hours of Playtime, Black

I’ve been putting the Bose QuietComfort earbuds through the wringer—gym sessions, runs, heavy rucks, and even while getting in the zone before a fight—and they haven’t missed a beat.First off, the fit is chef’s kiss. They stay locked in, even during long runs or when I’m dripping sweat mid-sparring prep. No slipping, no constant adjusting. Just pop ’em in and go.The noise canceling? Straight-up elite. I can drown out gym noise, street sounds, or background chatter and dial in completely. When I’m warming up before a match or hitting the heavy bag, these help me mentally lock in without distractions. Flip to transparency mode when I need to stay aware during a ruck or cooldown walk, and it’s like the world fades in just enough.Sound-wise, these things slap. The bass is clean and deep—enough to get the blood pumping—but everything’s balanced. Vocals come through crisp, and nothing gets muddied out. Whether it's hype playlists or podcasts during recovery walks, it all sounds dope.Battery life’s been solid too—easily gets me through long training blocks and charges up fast in the case. Haven’t once been left hanging.If I had to nitpick, the case is a bit chunky for pocket carry, but that’s about it. These are built for serious use, and they’ve taken everything I’ve thrown at them without flinching.Bottom line: If you're training hard and want earbuds that keep up—and help you block the world out when you need to focus—these are worth every penny. Would 100% buy again.

I’ve tried quite a few wireless earbuds over the years, but these Bose QuietComfort Earbuds in Chilled Lilac have completely raised the bar for me. From the moment I put them on, the Active Noise Cancellation kicked in like magic—instantly silencing the background noise of my busy life. Whether I’m working, commuting, or just relaxing at home, the noise canceling is incredibly effective, yet still lets you switch to Aware Mode when needed.Sound quality? Absolutely top-notch. The bass is deep and rich without overpowering the mids and highs. Everything—from music to podcasts to calls—sounds crystal clear. The built-in mic also performs better than I expected, with my voice coming through clearly even in windy or noisy environments.I also appreciate the comfortable fit—they feel secure without putting pressure on my ears, even after hours of wear. And speaking of hours, the battery life is impressive: I consistently get around 8+ hours on a single charge. Plus, the IPX4 water resistance is a nice bonus, making them ideal for workouts or walks in light rain.The Chilled Lilac color is even more beautiful in person—subtle but stylish. Bose really nailed the design and performance with these. If you're looking for true wireless earbuds that combine elite sound, comfort, and smart features, these are worth every penny.

I love the sound and fit of these, my only issue is the microphone. If you’re not speaking at full volume then it struggles to pick up on what you’re saying. The Bluetooth connectivity isn’t really an issue for me. The app is easy to use. Other than the sound cutting out for less than half a second shortly after pairing, there’s no issue with connectivity. You can configure the tap controls in the app so you choose which buttons perform which action. I’d buy these over other headphones, and I think they’re worth the money

I've been a Bose fan for many years, which is why the areas of failure on these (and all QuietComfort buds after the first generation) are so frustrating. I really expect better from Bose and pray they deliver the next generation more thoughtfully. But...First off the GOOD parts:1) Sound quality (when connection is solid) is great. These have a really full sound with healthy bass.2) Battery life is a noticeable improvement over other generations.3) Touch controls and customizability. You can do a lot just with touch on the flat side surface.4) Wireless charging of the case. This should be table-stakes at this point and it's wild that other gens didn't have it.5) Noise isolation on microphone. These are miles ahead of other buds in terms of excluding background noise.6) Noise cancelling in general is good, although I don't feel that it's better than the Gen1's - could be because the ear fit is much worse than the 1st gen.7) Ability to switch devices and be connected to multiple devices is very helpful.8) Auto-shut-off after a certain amount of time is great for battery saving and the fact that you can turn them on with touch is also awesome. That part is a great upgrade.Now the BAD:1) The fit of these is so annoying and uncomfortable. I haven't found an generation has fit as well as the Gen1's with the expanded fit kits. These loosen from the ear canal constantly and can literally pop out if you're chewing or making those high exertion faces at the gym. And they don't offer any expanded fit kits for the silicone ear tips.2) Speaking of the ear tips - the little bands that surround the ear bud are terrible. They shift out of place every single time I use the buds. You have to rotate them around like you're trying to open a safe lock just to get them in the right spot. They often come off IN my ear when I remove the beds from my ear canal. They also just fall off the bud if they're in your pocket, making it so easy to lose them. If they're out of place when you try to put them in the case to charge, they won't fit.3) Connectivity issues. Half the time I remove them from the case, only one of them turns on/connects via bluetooth, and I literally have to put on earbud back in the case and then back in my ear to get it working. Also, I can have my phone in my pocket and the connection starts to break up.4) The initial connection on setup took me like 7 tries. How has Bose allowed such a terrible set up experience??5) The case is fairly crappy and feels cheap. If you drop it, everything is exploding everywhere. It's small enough (though very round vs. flat) and it's lightweight, but could be better.Those are the big ones. And hey, at the end of the day, I still own two sets of these and use them religiously. But please Bose, take the feedback and do better next time!!!
