Customer Reviews

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My most recent purchase was the Bose Max portable speaker. We recently did our backyard and that little speaker fills up the whole yard with award-winning sound. I’ve been buying those products since the mid 80s. My first purchase was the acoustic mass 10. Bose is a little bit more money but you get what you pay for nothing else compares. I have 15 oh speakers throughout my house my wife and my children love music. I bought a SoundTouch 300 system 10 years ago. It still feels like I’m at the concert. Those products are unmatched. You can try the rest, but Bose is the best.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I believe the Bose quiet quietcomfort earbuds is totally what the doctor orders for a peaceful of mind while sitting in your comfort zone enjoying the true noise canceling in earbuds with inner peace that truly makes your world.

When I returned full time back to the office for work I found it difficult to hold conference calls in my cubicle with all the back ground noise. My Bose quiet comfort headphones are noise canceling, but I needed a boost so in May 2024 I purchased the Bose quit comfort ulta earbuds. I love them they cancel out all background noise and fit good. I only found one problem… battery life. I found myself relying so much on them at work I needed another pair. When I saw the new design and affordable price point I was sold. Had to have them and I’m glad I did!!! I absolutely love the new Bose quit comfort earbuds. They are not my back up pair they are actually my main pair and the comfort ulta earbuds are my back up pair. I can’t get over how comfortable the new quit comfort earbuds are. I wear them the full charge of 8.5 hours a day. The fit makes the sound quality and noise canceling amazing. The case is well done with 2.5 in extra charges. From voice control or tap control these buds are so user friendly. If one happens to fall out the sound immediately stops alerting you.Don’t get me wrong that’s earbuds are great for the office, but they are definitely not all about business!! Music sounds the most amazing coming through these earbuds. The bass and sound quality can’t be beat. The case is wire or wireless charging capacities. I really have nothing negative to say at this price point and Bose is a name you can trust.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using these for just over the last week. During that time I feel they’ve been given a very fair trial. I’ve used them on a long train journey, a recent inpatient day case at the hospital and mainly whilst working from home. I’ve owned quite a few pairs of Bose headphones over the years, from over ear, on ear and buds. I prefer to pay extra for decent sound so I can enjoy the experience of listening to music.. not just enjoy the music. To start with, I believe these are a great entry level pair of Bose earbuds. They give good sound, easy pairing, great battery and very good noise cancellation. The style of case is a different shape to my other Bose earbuds and although not a bad design / shape I felt they didn’t have the same kind of texture / premium feel as others have had. Although the pricing does reflect some of these changes. When the case is closed I do feel the case is durable and if dropped the magnet is strong enough to remain closed and protect your earbuds. They come with customisable rubber buds to make sure they fit perfectly into your ear. Once in, they fit extremely well and no amount of head shaking or running knock them out. They are comfortable and snug. They connect extremely quickly to my iPhone and iPad and when answering calls it’s a seamless process from music to call. They offer 3 options of noise cancelling, quiet, aware and off. This isn’t as many or as customisable as other Bose earbud options but these are still very good options. The noise cancelling is truly fantastic that you wouldn’t get from any other brand except Bose. They kept out all train commuter noises. They also managed to keep out all hospital beeping and bustling around. When the app is downloaded you have the option of adding extra bass etc if you feel the sound is a little flat. Overall for the price these are a fantastic pair of Bose earbuds. Undoubtedly Bose do offer more premium versions of these but these offer comfort in ear, secure fit, great sound and superb noise reduction.

Although these share the same name as the original Bose QuietComfort Earbuds, the 2nd generation brings some notable upgrades. First off, the case design stands out—it’s smaller but slightly thicker than my QuietComfort 2 case due to the removal of the earbud stems. The new matte finish on the case is sleek, and a much-appreciated upgrade is the wireless charging feature, which wasn’t available on the previous model. A key change is the introduction of a dedicated app, Bose QC Earbuds, with a unique "B" and "BCE" logo. This app gives you full control over your earbud experience, offering features like: Noise Control: You can switch between Quiet, Aware, or Off modes either in the app or by voice commands. In general, noise cancellation is excellent, though I did notice that in Quiet mode, wind noise during outdoor walks seemed more pronounced. This may be because the Quiet mode reduces other sounds, making wind noise stand out more—I'll need to test it further. EQ Settings: The default EQ is set to Flat, but there are presets like Bass Boost, Treble Boost, and Custom, allowing you to fine-tune Low, Mid, and High frequencies to your liking. Touch Controls: You can customize Single, Double, and Triple Press, as well as Hold functions for each earbud, giving you complete control over your listening experience. Voice Control: Available in multiple languages (English, Chinese, German, French, and Spanish), you activate commands by saying "Hey Headphones." I had a few issues getting this to work reliably, but it might just be a learning curve. One of the standout features is Multipoint connectivity, which lets you seamlessly connect to two devices at once. Switching between my phone and computer was a breeze, which is incredibly convenient. Other useful features include Fast Mute with touch control, a remote selfie option to control your phone’s camera, and Smart Calls, allowing you to accept or reject calls, use low-latency mode for gaming or movies, and even check battery predictions for how much playtime or talk time you have left. The noise cancellation is top-notch, as expected from Bose. It’s also IPX4 water-resistant, meaning it can handle splashes and light rain—great for daily walks. The earbuds come with three sizes of silicone ear tips and stability bands to ensure a perfect fit. Battery life is solid—8.5 hours on the earbuds alone, or up to 31 hours with the charging case. Fast charging gives you 2 hours of playback with just a 20-minute charge. Overall, these 2nd-gen QuietComfort Earbuds deliver an impressive upgrade with features that rival or surpass other top brands, all while maintaining Bose’s legendary sound quality and noise cancellation. At an affordable price, these everyday earbuds are ideal for anyone, including retirees like me, who enjoy listening to music during daily walks without breaking the bank. Bose nailed it with these—Powerful, not precious, just as they promised.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Excellent audio quality and complete satisfaction with the product. Great experience. Must buy !!!

I have struggled to find buds that fit my tiny ears without pain after an hour. I had some custom fit that were great but I could only wear them for a couple of hours. When they say "noise canceling" they aren't joking. No cap. I bought them for work because my old Bose speaker is too loud in my baking space. Unfortunately I can't use them at work because I can't hear my timers going off. They are LOUD to be heard over the music from the bakers on the other side of my ovens. Long story short - these are extremely comfortable, have great sound and just noise canceling enough to know the fire alarm is going off but still hear whatever you are listening to.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Bose QCE set a new standard with their exceptional noise-canceling ability, effortlessly blocking out even the most persistent background noise. The long battery life means you can enjoy uninterrupted playback throughout your day without constantly needing a charge. Designed for comfort, they fit securely and don’t budge, even during intense activity. What’s more, their significantly smaller size compared to the predecessor makes them lightweight and discreet without sacrificing sound quality. With this perfect balance of comfort, performance, and convenience, these earbuds are a top choice for any audio enthusiast.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Quiet Comfort 2 Ear Buds were gifted to me on Father’s Day 2024. Needless to say, a VERY PLEASANT Surprise!! The Noise Cancelation Feature has to be easily the best in the industry. I can always tell the difference especially when I’m at the gym. If I didn’t know any better, I would think that I am there by myself. The sound as always is simply impeccable! I wish there were more options regarding the equalizer, but considering the sound quality, the battery life (both per use and case), the supreme noise cancelation, and how comfortable they are for even long periods of time, the equalizer is a minor issue at best!!

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.
