Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II, Noise Cancelling True Wireless Bluetooth Headphones, Soapstone

These earbuds are phenomenal. They let out a sound that personalizes a nice cancelation profile specifically for your own ear canal. When in quiet mode, I have to stand next to a speaker to even know if it's on because the noise cancelation is so great with these. The only drawback with these is that when I'm running in them, they tend to pop in my ears because of the inner seal. It just takes getting used to it.

This review is for the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds Series II, Noise Cancelling True Wireless Bluetooth Headphones, Soapstone. So, my husband has had probably close to 9 earbud sets over the years of different brands. He has had some that were horrible and some that were decent. Most claim to be noise cancelation but really are not. We have never had one like the quality of Bose until now and all I can say is WHAT A GAME CHANGER!! To go from lower end brands to Bose really shows you what you have been missing all this time and shows you what noise cancelation really should be. These are easy to set up and use and the ear buds fit perfectly and comfortably in the ear. There is an app to use these with. They are lightweight and have good volume. It's been a week and my husband says there has been no static or issues. The noise cancelation we put to the test because my husband always likes to talk to me while he is shopping if I am not with him and normally I can not hear him because the background noise is louder than he is but with these you can not hear anything going on behind him and he is completely clear. I highly recommend these ear buds. Seriously spending the extra gives you quality! We can never go back now.

I rate these headphones a 4 out of 5 mainly because of the sound quality but I have a few things I'm disappointed in especially because of the price point. i really wish the bose name wasn't so large on the side of the earbud it's so distracting wish it was maybe smaller or on an edge. it has no wireless charging BUT that means it weighs less not an issue for me. there is no indication on the case that says anything about the battery and its a bigger case than other types of wireless earbuds but significantly smaller than past bose cases so that's good. there isnt a button that allows you to open the case which means that the case opens too easily also from my experience. the magnets don't really help the case stay closed. the process to pair it is a little difficult. first of all you have to have the app which i don't like and a lot of other wireless headphone don't need an app but if you want to customized your sound quality these are a great option.i like the ear buds that just pair with the phone by Bluetooth but this is definitely very technical The best part about these headphones is that they do live up to the Bose name in terms of noise canceling. It feels like it adjusts to the sound intensity. The quality of calling people is good also because it's very clear. I do agree that the charging time for the earbuds lasts about 6 hours with no issues. Again, you can customize the sound quality on the app. As most earbuds, these come with 3 different soft silicone ear tips and 3 stability bands but for the price I do think there need to be even more tip options for a good fit for everyone These look big in my ears but I was suprised they aren't heavy. I do wish that again for the price point that they would come with the option of over the ear holders too. It seems big but they do have a lot of features especially the swiping on the outside of the earbud wide portion that's unique and there's enough room for your finger to slide easily and a groove to know when to stop You do need to use certain functions on certain earbud and not that can be done on either one. The quiet and aware modes are unique and I'm glad there two options, you may need to play around to get used to them. I personally like the aware mode as it allows for more background noise to get in and I can still pay attention to other things, but there is an area you can change the noise cancelation and tailor it. I think you can only use the voice feature on the right earbud. you can't use one earbud independent of another at the moment uless you leave both outside the case but i did read it may become Available in an update. you also have to be careful with the amplifying power of these earbuds because some sounds are so loud in your ear. personally i do not walk around with earbuds i only use them to work out but would definitely not wear these all the time if I was looking for that option without removingsome of the noise canceling because its so intense almost like wearing earplugs. PLEASE add a find my earbud feature to the app it's really needed! Overall i think the sound quality is great but some of the convenience options aren't available and are actually better on some less expensive options

Wow. Wow. Wow! OK, first of all, I had read great things about these earbuds active noise cancellation technology being nearly or as good as over ear headphones and I was still absolutely blown away when I finally got to try these. I tried them on in my living room with my air conditioner on full blast for a sound test. The earbuds went in and within two seconds the active noise cancellation kicks in and everything just goes silent. I thought my air conditioner cycled off. I took the right earbud out and I immediately could hear the air conditioner in my right ear and then two seconds later the active noise cancellation in my left earbud turned off in response to my removing the right earbud and I could hear the air conditioner in my left ear. I tried this a few times because it seemed like no matter how many times I witnessed it, I still wasn’t sure if the air conditioner was turning off or if these earbuds were really that good at canceling outside noise. It’s that impressive. It’s almost unreal. If you want to make your daily commute through the city more peaceful, these earbuds will turn your ride in the subway into quiet meditation time. Close your eyes and you might forget where you are. OK, onto the sound and the Bose music app. Connection was quick and easy. A quick look through the app and I was very happy to see that there’s an equalizer built in to suit whatever it is you’re listening to. I sampled the bass as high as I could and found it very satisfactory. These earbuds won’t blast your ears but why would you want to? You can hear everything in perfect clarity. You can practically hear the air being pushed out the studio speaker vents in little puffs with every beat of bass. Beautiful. Next up, Whitney Houston came on and I hit the trouble as high as it would go and found crisp, clear tones that really brought her voice up front and center. Very nice. Personally though, I found listening at the equalizer baseline to be the best listening experience. I tried connecting to my iPad and streamed a movie in HD sound and was able to hear details I’ve never heard before. It really makes you feel like you’re in a soundproof booth with headphones on. I’ve read people mention they feel large in the ear. They feel perfectly fine to me. In fact, these are the most comfortable earbuds I’ve ever owned. They fit really well in my ear, snuggly in place but not painfully snug. I’ve worn these for a few hours straight without any discomfort at all. I gave them a hard head shake test and they stayed put in my ears. Volume control is also nice and easy. A little swipe up or down on the side and volume follows suit. They also handle phone calls very well but let’s face it, we’re not buying these for the phone calls. Range and battery is great. I was able to walk around my house a solid 30 ft or so before losing connection and with a 6 hr battery life with 3 full charges in the case I get 24 hours of listening time on a full charge. So those are the pros, let’s talk about the cons. There are none. I can’t find a single thing wrong with these earbuds. I’m trying to for the sake of this review, but I can’t. Listen, this isn’t a 7.1 sound system in your personal home theater, these are earbuds, and as far as earbuds go, dare I say these are perfect? Quite possibly. Now, I don’t know if I’m what you would call an audiophile, but I love and appreciate good music and quality sound and these Bose QuietComfort Earbuds 2 absolutely bring it. The ANC technology alone is so impressive by itself, couple that with being able to listen to HD sound in that perfect backdrop of silence and clarity is really next level. At $300 they’re not cheap, but if you can manage it and you want the best listening experience you can get, these earbuds are an absolutely joy.

When I hear Bose I think superb! The go to brand for audio! The Bose QuietComfort Earbuds Series II, Noise Cancelling True Wireless has 5 star audio quality! The sound quality is fantastic with these earbuds and the noise cancellation is excellent with the max setting for the Active Noise Cancelling making these some of the best noise cancelling earbuds.

Comfortable, adjustable wings and tips, small charging case that can fit in pocket, Sharp looking design. The app keeps it easy to adjust the equalizer and modes. I definitely recommend to everyone whether it be casual users or audiophiles.

I'm not sure I will be able to contain my excitement in this review. I will start by saying that I have incredibly sensitive hearing and I cannot stand to have anything in my ears. I have gone through probably seven or eight different brands and styles of earbuds over the past few years trying to find a pair that I could tolerate. Every pair either fit uncomfortably or had feedback hum that only apparently someone with ridiculously sensitive hearing could hear. And then there was horrid attempt at sound dampening which only served to amplify anything I said, every bite I took, or sound when I touched my head or body anywhere close to my ears. But not with these!! The sound is incredible. It's like having movie theater sound in your ears but at a volume that's bearable. And don't even get me started on the noise dampening. It's like being in a vacuum. I have a very active 4-year-old that never stops making noise and I can put them in and all of a sudden there is peace. All of the buzzes and hums that you become accustomed to just disappear. I didn't even realize my air conditioner was on until I took them out and heard how loud it was. With being a parent though, I can still hear my child if I need to. The volume is just significantly dampened. And here is the ultimate icing on the cake. I developed severe tinnitus as a side effect of medication last year and I don't know how they do it but they dim my tinnitus. I have not had a single second of silence in over a year but when I put these in, even if I'm not listening to music, just putting them in using them to dampen sound, I finally have quiet and it is absolutely blissful!! Even if the sound quality for music and video wasn't outstanding, I would give them 10 stars just for how amazing the noise dampening effect works. Side note, I did not install the app so I don't know how well it works with Android and I haven't quite figured out all of the touch features yet but as amazing as they are so far I can only assume the more I learn the better they will be.

First, let me say that I am not the most tech savvy person, so if you're looking for a review containing a lot of technical information, I can't help you there. What I will say is this: These ear buds are very easy to set up and the sound is incredible. Also, they come with more than one ear insert, so you can find the one that fits you best. Lastly, I am an Android user, and YES, these are compatible with Android OS. I would definitely recommend these earbuds!

totally extraordinarily satisfied with this set of Earbuds the sound is magnificent and I had other sets but not like these that inexplicable sound, and very easy to connect, they are so comfortable they do not move much less they fall off they stay very well in place and do not hurt your ears, very satisfied.

Firstly if you download the app and just follow the simple instructions, its very easy to setup on your iPhone or Android (we are a mixed use household). The ear buds fit in very nicely - ergonomic design -- as expected from Bose's reputation. There are a few fittings you can try on to make it fit nicely into your ear. The sound quality on the Bose has always been above par (own multiple Bose products, including the Quiet Comfort headphones in pink) - this one does not disappoint. The noise cancelling can be turned on or off. Charges easily and retains charge pretty well. Cannot think of one negative thing to say!

The case closing mechanism is very smooth and satisfying to open/close in terms of movement. To my surprise, the noise cancellation blocked out ALL low frequencies (e.g. if you tap a table or desk, the sub-bass to high-bass frequencies are completely silent and inaudible). However, some of the mid frequencies from the low-mids to the high-mids are a little bit more audible compared to the treble and bass when noise cancellation is on, but after a while you kind of get used to it (unless you switch between other earbuds, for example Sony wf-1000xm4). For the audio, the bass frequencies are loudest from between 15hz to 20hz to between 30hz and 35hz, and the audio quality is pretty good. The earbuds fitting is well done, the earbuds had a comfortable fit, had no pressure on the ear, and the design makes it so that it is able to be used in bed when sleeping on the side (I tested that, and the design does succeed in doing that). However, I should mention that the earbuds don't support single usage (meaning that if you were to take one earbud out of your ear and put it back in the charging case, the other earbud that you are still wearing will disconnect), and there is no wireless charging on this version when compared to the last version I find it interesting how there is an automatic tts (text to speech) in the earbuds, it will say the battery percentage as well as the name of the device you're connecting to the startup sound is a brief orchestra of instruments that ascend in pitch, which can be pretty loud and sudden if you don't expect it The connection noise sounds a bit like a plastic bucket or large container being dropped, but you hear only the first two thumps from them hitting the floor, which I find interesting. The audio quality while on calls is pretty high quality, though not the best quality compared to not being in a call, but still pretty good quality compared to other earbuds which may have much lower audio quality on calls
