I have a lot of activities that require hearing protection. 1: I farm, so I use these earbuds to protect my hearing from tractors, bushogs, bailers and other implements. I do listen to music while farming and these sound great because cancelling the unwanted noise allows the music to be heard. 2: I also ride a motorcycle. I use these under my helmet to cancel out the wind noise. The loudest wind noise at highway speeds tend to crackle at the peaks. This is not the most ideal use for them and could use some enhancements in this area. I do realise they may not be designed for this use which has particular challenges which is understandable. 3: I recently used them at a gun range. They worked very well for the weapons I was firing. I did use a suppressor on the firearms that limited the report to about 115 decibels. The earbuds worked perfectly. Not sure how they would work for unsuppressed firing. 4: I am an indrustrial electrician by trade and work in a noisy environment. These earbuds drowned out all the background noise of machinery and conveyors so I can perform my duties without the harmful effects on my ears. And they work great. I have other bose buds and it seems the noise cancelling has been better with each product iteration. These seem to be even better. They do have a lot of control options and I find myself having to repeat actions to get what I want to happen. Maybe just me. I don't consider it a draw back though. Overall I really like these buds and think they will be received well by the adventurous user as well as the audiophile.

I recently got my hands on an early release of the sleek designed Bose Noise Canceling Earbuds in the stunning White Smoke color, and I have to say, they are truly impressive. Here’s a breakdown of my experience: Pros: 1. Comfortable Fit: These earbuds are incredibly comfortable. I’ve worn them for extended periods during work, while traveling, and even at the gym. They stay in place perfectly, and I can barely feel them, even after hours of use. 2. Beautiful Design: The White Smoke color is sleek and modern. It gives a premium feel that sets these apart from other earbuds I’ve used. It's subtle but sharp—exactly the vibe I like. 3. Amazing Noise Canceling: The noise cancellation is on another level. I took these on a plane, and they completely blocked out the engine noise, making for a much more peaceful travel experience. Even when doing yard work or in a noisy gym, I could stay fully immersed in whatever I was listening to. 4. All-Day Wear: Thanks to their comfort, I had no problem wearing these all day long. Whether I was working at my desk or moving around the house, I never felt the need to take them out for a break. 5. Quick to Charge: A huge bonus is how quickly they charge. You don’t need to wait long to get a good battery boost, which is perfect for those of us who are always on the go. 6. Feature-Packed App: The Bose app is intuitive and comes packed with useful features like customizable EQ settings and different noise-canceling modes. It adds a lot to the user experience, allowing you to tailor the sound exactly how you want it. 7. Easy Pairing: Pairing these earbuds with my phone was a breeze. Within seconds, they were connected and ready to go without any annoying connectivity issues. 8. Stable Fit for Active Use: I’ve used these for various activities, from gym sessions to yard work, and they stay in my ears without any issues. Even when moving around or sweating, they remain secure and never feel like they’re going to fall out. Cons: 1. Single Earbud Volume: One minor downside is that when using a single earbud, the volume could be a bit louder. It’s not a dealbreaker, but something that could be improved for those who like using just one earbud at times when making phone calls. 2. Case Feels Thin: The case, while sleek, does feel a little thin and plasticky. It’s not the most premium feeling case out there, but on the plus side, it requires less frequent charging compared to other noise-canceling earbud cases. Conclusion: Overall, these Bose Noise Canceling Earbuds are an excellent set, especially for those who value comfort, sound quality, and top-tier noise cancellation. With the ability to wear them all day, whether traveling or working out, and the ease of use, they’ve quickly become my go-to for daily listening. The minor drawbacks like the single earbud volume and the case’s build quality are far outweighed by the pros, making this an outstanding product.

Why would you make it impossible to find the serial number so one could get help to make this thing work in a simple way. Like turn on and not keep telling me how much battery life is left and not run till it runs out of charge. Features like quite are great but finding a simple way to play brown sounds to sleep with out all the stop and go and battery life interruptions and not able to get help unless some how finding the hidden serial numbers a want to return the product

Love them so far! I will get lots of use out of them when good weather sets in as I walk over 3-4 miles daily. I like to listen to my music but my wired earbuds were always falling out and not fit right. I have bought several Bose items and have not been disappointed yet.

Bose really knows how to do audio and ear comfort. I absolutely love these earbuds. I'm a longtime user of the Quiet Comfort headphones, but these are so much easier to travel with - and I travel a fair amount and overpack. Space is always appreciated. But the sound quality is way superior to Apple iPods. The noise cancellation prevents me from getting a headache on the plane with the loud engines. I can also use the earbuds to talk on the phone when I'm on the road or elsewhere, and people can hear me better than they could with my iPods. The 'egg' that holds the earbuds just makes me smile. It fits nicely in your hand and easily slips into a pocket or purse pouch. The earbuds charge quickly. My only suggestion: I wish the egg had a little space somewhere to store the small charging cable. Those things are always easy to misplace. But that's not a deal breaker for the quality of this product. No regrets. Bose delivers.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Blocks sound well in quiet mode. In aware mode you can hear background noise too- good for work. What I love most is the FIT. This is my 3rd pair of Bose earbuds, but my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE! Please make in deep plum so I can buy another pair!

I had ear phones before, but nothing like this. I look forward to taking my dog for a walk because these earbuds block out as much noise as I want( there is a feature that blocks out all noise or allows you to be aware of potential noise from traffic) and the sound is excellent. They fit perfectly and charges last for a long time- and I love my lilac color!!!

Received the quietcomfort earbuds 2 weeks ago. These have been the best earbuds that I have ever owned. I used to use Apple AirPods which these don’t even compare. Comfort is a lot better and doesn’t hurt my ears after a hour of use. Noise cancellation is good with quality and providing a HD experience. However, I still can hear my surroundings slightly for safety which is something I value. At first, the earbuds took sometime to figure out to pause when I took off the earbuds but that improved after a couple uses. I wish that it was easier to take the earbuds off and play something on my phone speaker without needing to place the earbuds in the case to disconnect the Bluetooth temporarily. For example: if I want to play a short video to a friend, I wish I could just take off the earbuds and place in my hand temporarily versus needing to place them in the case to disconnect. If I don’t place in the case, it will still play through the earbuds. I also cannot believe the battery life. After 2 weeks, I am still at 100% and I use it on and off throughout the day. Very impressive!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought 2 sets of these because excellent workout partner. One tap to pause is helpful when on elliptical. Noise reduction not good as more expensive models but could be helpful when running outside. I believe a burn in is necessary after some they sound much better. The noise reduction is better also. I use them everyday now. They seem secure in my ears haven't fallen out yet.

I got them around 3 weeks ago and it has been an excellent purchase, the noise canceling and the fitting are amazing, allowing me to either watch a movie with my phone or TV to go out for a run without any issues while running as the fitting and comfortably feeling they provide goes above and beyond the expected and the competitors out there.
