If you’re just using these headphones to listen to music, they work pretty well and are comfortable. For calls though, they are a disaster - the microphone is incredibly poor (I’ve been told I sound either like I’m underwater, or feet away from an airplane taking off), it does not isolate my voice vs. surrounding noise at all, and occasionally sounds scrambled. On my side, audio seems fairly decent during calls, albeit often rather quiet. If planning to use headphones for calls at all, I recommend looking elsewhere better options (my 3yr old Powerbeats Pro work infinitely better and are half the price).

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!

I bought these earbuds for my sons for the Holidays and they just LOVED them. My one son's girlfriend liked them so much she got a set. So when this new color (plum) came out I had to get me some! The sound quality is fabulous and they are so comfortable!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The ultra open earbuds are really good I was really excited when I got them in the mail and they’re so stylish too. The sound is amazing I can turn it up and barely hear or I can turn it down and hear what’s happening around me it’s convenient.

Less than a month old and I am not very impressed with the sound quality. It is not loud enough even if the volume is turned up. I am a car audio enthusiast and I know what good sound is. I wish they could make a software update to allow us to crank up the volume a bit more, as we can always turn it down when its too loud. Also it skips a beat once in a while which is very annoying.

Bought these a few months ago - very very happy. They are way better than AirPods and Bose as company are a million times better. Never going back to AirPods. I also bought he quiet comfort ultra earbuds as they’re good for noise canceling. Love both.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought these ear buds about a month ago and I am so relieved that I don’t have to shove ear buds into my earrings anymore! My ears can breathe while I am listening to music and talking on the phone. Now this is a comfortable earbud.

I have been extremely impressed with the quality and performance of the new Bose Quiet Comfort Noise Cancelling Earbuds. The earbuds are incredibly lightweight and comfortable, perfect for long listening sessions. The sound quality, with its rich, clear audio, deep bass, and crisp highs, truly immerses you in your music, making every listening session engaging and enjoyable. One minor drawback I encountered initially was with the touch controls, which, due to their sensitivity, required some time to get used to. However, with patience and practice, I found them to be quite intuitive and responsive. Their adaptability to my touch made me appreciate their design even more. Once I got the hang of it, the touch controls became a non-issue. Overall, I am delighted with the Bose Quiet Comfort Noise Cancelling Earbuds. In comparison to other earbuds I've tried, these stand out for their lightweight comfort and exceptional sound quality. I recommend them to anyone in the market for high-quality, comfortable, and great-sounding earbuds.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought them in January sale and its the best offer I’ve seen them. They are super comfortable, I literally can have them all day long and they dont hurt. I dont know how they do it but its amazing. Works best for listening music while running or working.

I bought this a few weeks ago because all the earbuds I’ve ever tried keep falling out of my ears and the ones that stick in my ears. I can’t hear anything else These are great sounding earbuds with good clarity, but they don’t fall out and are very comfortable
