According to our earbuds expert
The Bose QuietComfort Earbuds are the first earbuds in the QuietComfort series from Bose. The earbuds have noise canceling that mutes ambient noise. This way, you hear more of your music and less of your distracting surroundings when you're outside or on public transport. Is noise canceling activated and do you strike up a conversation with someone? When you remove one earbud from your ear, the music is automatically paused. You can listen to music for 6 hours on a fully charged battery. When the battery is empty, you charge the earbuds in the charging case. After 15 minutes of charging, you can listen to music for another 2 hours. You charge the charging case with the included charging cable or with a wireless charger.
Noise cancelingNoise canceling is a technology which measures and analyzes ambient noise. It creates an anti-noise based on this analysis. This anti-noise ensure you hear less of your environment.
Bose Music appWith the Bose Music app, you can adjust the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds completely to your liking. With the app, you can turn noise canceling on and off, download updates, and adjust the sound settings via the equalizer. That way, you can listen to a personalized sound reproduction with all your favorite songs.
Note: Bose does include a charging cable, but no charger. Use your current accessories, or purchase them separately.

The Apple Airpods pro fell out of my ears. Noise canceling was reasonable from these earbuds. The Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless II started to hurt my ears after an hour. The noise canceling of these earbuds was barely noticeable. Both sent back. When the Bose ordered what a world of difference. The earbuds are very comfortable despite being quite bulky. The noise canceling is phenomenal. All background noise disappears. The sound is good. The battery lasts a very long time. The earbuds click easily into the charging case, and are very easy to remove.

I have had the earplugs for a little over a week now and I am positively surprised about the good quality of the sound, when I play music, what comes through the earplugs. The bass is also very good and on some songs is stronger than expected . The music will automatically pause when you remove an earplug from your ear. Which is very useful if you are interrupted for a while and then want to listen again. Thanks to the quick charge function, you can use the earbuds for 2 hours after charging for 15 minutes. I also used them for meetings and I was very curious how that would go. It is now so nice that I am no longer tied to my computer, but during a meeting, for example, I can fold the laundry in the next room. Due to the noise canceling, it dampens disturbing ambient sounds and noise. You can set the noise canceling as desired via an app that you have to download on your phone. In this app you can also see how far they are charged and how much the box has been left. Connecting to your phone is simple and they are quickly found by Bluetooth.

I bought this Bose as a replacement for the Apple AirPods, the batteries were completely worn out after 3 years. For a long time I doubted whether I should buy the AirPods Pro or this Bose. Finally went for the Bose because of the positive reviews about the noise canceling. To start with the noise canceling right away, it works great! Can be set in different levels by the app or via the touch control. For me the 1st time using a headset with noise canceling so can't compare it with other headsets. The sound quality is also excellent, a nice full bass, which I missed with Apple's Airpods. The wearing comfort is for me personally less than, for example, the AirPods, these have never fallen out or become loose in the ear with me, the Bose comes with the rubber caps with a wing attached, unfortunately with the 3 different sizes the The wings are not stuck in the ear for what they are intended for, luckily they don't fall out of the ear so quickly, but when I shake my head I feel that they loosen up and want to fall out of the ear. Still a considerable downside compared to the AirPods. The charging case is of nice quality and handy LEDs on the front for the battery indication of the case. It is also nice that the case is clicked closed, so that the earbuds do not fall out so quickly in the event of a fall. The battery life is fine, but I don't have them enough yet to make a real judgment about it.
