The fit is complicated. I like that they don't go into my ear. That causes earache for me, and cause wax buildup in my canal. However, I put the volume all the way up to be able to hear them. People next to me can hear noise from what I am listening 🎧 to. The sound is decent, none the less. Would be wonderful if they had that part that goes into your lobe area, without the plug that goes into your ear. So that it lines up more consistently with your ear canal.

These are great for music but when you allow connectivity to mobile phones; you should ensure that part works equally as well. During mobile calls; the other end goes silent; where you think the call has dropped or you are screaming at the top of your lungs and the caller on the other end can not hear a thing. This happens within 5 minutes of every single phone call. Very annoying. I was super hyped to receive them but very disappointed day 1.

So far I bought 3 different ear buds from Bos. this pair is not up to the standard of the other two .First pair was absolutely great is still great lasting well and I use it all the time! the second pair was their top of the line I also bought a case for it ( but it did not last that well) however the buds are excellent . this 3 rd pair I bought as they appear smaller and I travel a lot so it was of interest to me ..anyhow I would not suggest to buy this model it needs charging way more than the others does not connect as well to my devices

I really like the Bose products that I have purchased. The only problem that I have with them is that my right one keeps falling out. I would like to see a product from Bose with the over the ear retention option. Not the open ear style because then I loose the ANC functions.

The Bose QuietComfort Earbuds are very comfortable compared to my Sony WX4's, before I returned them because of an apparent software update that affected the right earbud battery life. Sony was wonderful to deal with during my return and refund endeavor. I was in the earbuds market because I lost my JLab Sports Pro pair (inexpensive and the sound is comparable to their price). I have several Bose devices, and their sound is top notch. At first, these earbuds were not giving me the bass. I thought it was because I had them at a low volume. Then in the song, entered the bass. Man oh man, that was fantastic. Even at a low volume, the quality is impeccable, in my novice ear opinion. During this search, I saw sleep earbuds (can't remember the brand). I didn't understand the desire. With these earbuds, I now have the desire to use them when sleeping. They are comfortable and the sound is excellent. Why wouldn't I use them when sleeping and wake to my choice of music in my ear instead of the room. I admit after a friend's suggestion, I continued shopping. I needed to be sure I wouldn't lose them on a bike ride; however, I settled on the sound quality above the fit. Now that I have them, they are perfect. I didn't know about the stability rings. Now that I know about them, I'm sure they'll be fine for bike riding and gym workouts. And, I got three sets with my original purchase. Fantastic! I keep touching the earbuds, and the song changed. Ha, I need to learn the settings. Lastly, I ordered the earbuds from Bose directly. And I ordered them after two other direct orders. The earbuds arrived before either of the other orders. Bose has a fantastic logistics execution process.

I have owned the Bose QC earbuds before these and they are not longer holding a steady charge so I purchased these. I am beyond disappointed. I thought I would just buy the newer version of the earbuds, but these have too many silicone tips/surround options and even given that, these still are terrible! The noise cancelling is NOWHERE near my last pair. And, I have tried every combination of tips/surrounds and none of them give me the comfort or noise cancelling of my previous pair. Also, these things are WAY too tiny. I am at a loss because I need a new set of earbuds. Guess I will be looking at Sony. I love Bose and I own the QC35s as well as my current QC buds that are on the blink. I love(d) both, but these are a such a huge disappointment. Let me know when you make earbuds again that live up to my Bose expectations.

I bought these 3 weeks ago. At first, I thought they were great. They seemed to be clear sounding and the noise cancellation was great. However, I took them on a long flight and noticed that the noise cancelling did not filter out when airline workers were talking on the PA system. The talking was clear as day, which I was a little annoyed by. I don't know if that is a feature so users can hear airline workers but I could also hear conversations of those talking nearby clearly with the noise cancelling on, which I did not like. Later on in the flight, I also noticed that there was a weird grinding noise in my earbuds that was not present when I took the earbuds out. I intend to return these as the noise cancelling feature was not usable and had annoying side effects that I do not want to tolerate.

I love that I can wear this and my ears don’t hurt. I forget sometimes that I’m wearing one. Love the color too. Only thing that doesn’t make it 5 stars is when one is supposed to be in the case it’s supposed to be fully charged but for some reason it’ll say that’s it’s same low battery with the one I’ve been wearing for that time so I don’t know if that is just what mine or that’s it faulty part of the device but I don’t understand why it does that

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Received these as a gift for Father’s Day. Sound quality is great. Fit around ear is comfortable however does not fit into ear canal. Works wonderfully for workouts and immersive music feature is unique.

I have own boss products for years now, boss is just the best in sound systems.
