The Bose QuietComfort Earbuds deliver an energetic, balanced sound and brilliant noise-cancelling. A serious candidate for best-in-class

Exciting; entertaining sound; Superb balance; Impressive noise-cancelling

Average battery life

These 'buds keep ambient noise at bay, while the comfort is supreme for a pair of in-ears. Add that to sound that'll make all your favourite songs sound amazing, and it's hard to think of a more complete pair of true wireless in-ears in terms pure music enjoyment.

Great noise-cancelling; Fantastic sound quality; Fit is secure and comfortable for long periods; Wireless charging case an added bonus

Design is quite chunky; Case could offer more charge

Bose QuietComfort Earbuds: Bose may be late to market with ANC earbuds but they're well worth the wait

Class-leading ANC; High-quality audio; Secure and comfortable fit

Average battery life; Limited touch controls

The new champ of ANC wireless earbuds

Noise-cancelling as good as you’d expect from Bose; 11 levels of ANC in the app; Good seal; Bassy but balanced listen

Touch controls initially confusing; and no volume slider; Case is enormous

Their bulkier-than-average design and the ridiculously large case will no doubt put some people off, especially when the latter’s size doesn’t mean superior battery life. But otherwise the QC Earbuds are difficult to knock. The noise-cancelling doesn’t do a disservice to the esteemed QC name, it’s hugely customisable, and the buds sound great too. They’re at the upper end of the spectrum where price is concerned, but if silence is what you seek from your true wireless earbuds, you currently won’t find better.

Bose makes its mark with the terrific QuietComfort Earbuds. They sound brilliant and noise-cancelling performance is imperious. Aside from battery life that comes in behind that of its closest rivals, these are a sensational pair of earbuds from Bose.

Tremendous noise cancelling ; Sounds brilliant ; Tight, comfortable fit ; Excellent transparency mode;

Less than average battery life ; No aptX;

Love it. Fit properly and the most important thing is the quality of the sound. Even when you use for talk, people can tell that quality is really good compare with other product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I first put these in my ears, and flipped the ANC on, I was in shock. Bose managed to outdo themselves entirely. I've been using QC Series headphones since my first pair of QC15 many years ago, and I can't believe how far earbuds have come along. Background sounds just disappear, and are replaced with rich, full, clear, impressive sound. These little earbuds sound like full-sized headphones, but they're so light and comfortable, they just disappear. I have even put them in my ears at bed time and fallen asleep listening to podcasts. I have quite the collection of Bose headphones, and these may just be my absolute favorite I've ever had. A++
