Bose QuietComfort Noise Cancelling Earbuds

Bose QuietComfort Noise Cancelling Earbuds - Bluetooth Wireless Earphones, Triple Black, the World's Most Effective Noise Cancelling Earbuds

So today we are gonna review, Bose's  280 dollar Noise Cancelling, Quiet comfort earbuds. Arguably the best true wireless earbuds out there for muffling sound around you. I also have the 180 sport earbuds, both sound really good. So let's get right into, How they stack up against the competition? Well, it's worth spending the extra hundred dollars on the quiet comfort earbuds. I'm gonna mainly focus on the choir comfort earbuds because they're the flagship after all! And Bose is known for its Noise Cancelling and they don't disappoint in that department. As far as noise-cancelling goes these are top-notch!!

You can toggle through three customizable noise-cancelling settings, including a transparency mode, that lets sound in by tapping the left earbud, using the touch controls at their top setting!! These did a better job at muffling sound than the Airpods Pro and Sony WF 1000x mark III. I didn't take them on a plane, but I do have an air conditioning system in my apartment that's fairly loud and the Bose almost completely eliminated the fan sound. Although Sony and the Airpods Pro did a good job tamping down the sound, the Bose was better. I also used them on the streets, to impressive effect the quiet comfort earbuds also sound better than the Airpods Pro. They're just richer sounding, with better detail, and more powerful bass that's also well defined. The Bose are right up there with the best sounding two wireless earbuds and go toe to toe with the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 2, which retails for 300 dollars and works well for various music genres.

But fans of hip hop and EDM will find they have plenty of kick to their base. They're also good for making calls but maybe not quite as good as the AirPods Pro, still, they're a big improvement over Bose's earlier SoundSport free, which only had mono sound in one bud for Calls. The Quiet Comfort earbuds effectively reduced ambient sound, in the streets of New York during calls and callers, so they could hear me well. My voice was clear and I could hear callers really well. I just wouldn't call the noise reduction stellar, it isn't on the level for instance of Bose's full-size noise-cancelling 700 headphones, a lot of people ask about this and you can use a single bud, either left or right for calls or listening to music. And when you pull one bud the other one automatically goes into a Transparency Mode. So you don't have any weirdness of listening to one bud with noise-cancelling on.

You get up to six hours of battery life on a single charge or about an hour more than the Airpods Pro. The buds are sweat and weather resistant with a splash resistance rating of IPX4 and that's the same as the AirPods Pro. Quiet Comfort earbuds, do have some downsides, the Airpods Pro and popular android oriented buds like Samsung's Galaxy Buds+ and Galaxy Buds live are significantly smaller and lighter, and have compact charging cases. I did find the Quiet Comfort earbuds comfortable to wear, they use Bose's new Straight Ear Max tips, which have an integrated wing, with the largest tip, I got a tight seal and secure fit. While they're smaller than Bose's earlier sound SportFree, the Quiet comfort buds do stick out a fair amount from your ears. And if you tuck the case into the front pocket of a tight pair of jeans, let's just say it leaves a noticeable bulge that said the case is smaller than the case for the Beats Power and Beats Pro. So it's not gigantic it has wireless charging capabilities and gives you an extra two charges!!! There's also a quick charge feature that gives you two hours of battery life with a 15-minute charge.

 I can't compare the Bose to everything that's out there, and some people will get on my case for talking so much about the AirPods Pro but they are the best selling true wireless noise-cancelling earbuds, and Apple just added a new spatial audio virtual surround sound feature to them so they remain an attractive option for a little less than what the Quiet Comfort Earbuds cost. I do think it comes down to whether you're going to live with the Bose's larger size and overall design. For a lot of people, the answer will be no!! The fact is design is important, fit is important, and the Airpods Pro are just lighter, a little bit more comfortable. This means that more people are going to be willing to give up some sound quality, and a little bit of noise-cancelling for that design. But if great sound and noise cancelling is your priority the Quiet Comfort earbuds have it, it's no contest there.

Now the other Alternative is Bose's cheaper Sport earbuds which have the same IPX4 water resistance rating, but an hour or less of battery life. We've got links to where to buy both models down. Sport earbuds don't sound quite as dynamic and their base doesn't go quite as deep as the base on the quiet comfort earbuds. But they're well balanced with nice detail and punchy bass. Overall they sound very good and also are good for making calls though, maybe not quite as good as the Quiet Comfort Earbuds. Well, they do stick out from your ears, they're smaller and lighter than Quiet Comfort Earbuds, and their case is smaller, though it doesn't have wireless charging. I found them slightly more comfortable to wear and you can use the Quiet Comfort Earbuds for sporting activities, I didn't have a problem running with them. The sport earbuds will be better for runners, simply because they are lighter. If you don't need active noise cancellation, don't like its sensation, the sports earbuds are probably the better value.

I do think a lot of people are going to be willing to spend that extra 100, simply because of the flexibility of having that noise cancelling and that little extra bit of performance. But the sporty buds do compete well, against other earbuds in their price class. And they do sound slightly better than less expensive models, like the Galaxy Buds+. Of course, the Buds+ are more discreet looking, if you are in the market for noise-cancelling headphones.
