BoseQuietComfort Bluetooth Earbuds, True Wireless Earbuds with Active Noise Cancellation and Mic, Deep Bass, IPX4 Rating, Up to 8.5 Hours of Playtime, Black

Supplements my Bose headphones. I have found these to more as well, and easier to use when I go to noisy environment. Have found the battery life, when used only for noise reduction to be six (6) to eight (8) hours on a 100 percent charge. The carrying case acts also as a charge unit. The case has its only rechargeable battery. Have recharged the carrying case in less than one (1) hour.The design fits my ear(s) without discomfort. The item ships with different sized ear buds, to accommodate individual's ear canal.Sound quality is excellent, can be used as no sound reduction (just as an ear bud), noise reduction (with and without, say music), and what is called aware mode (which amplifies the surroundings (for those who may not hear something while concentrating on something else)).

I bought these after being a Jabra fan for years, but for a cheaper price these things are objectively better than my old pair of pretty nice Jabra Elites. The sound quality and noise cancellation are incredible - no need to blast the volume to feel like you’re immersed in the sound. Even at a low volume I can’t hear anything else. I’m very particular about the feel and fit of earbuds and these are comfortable and fit well right out the box. I do wish they fit a bit more flush (they stick out a lot imo), but that is purely aesthetic and has no bearing on the performance of the earphones. They are overall very comfortable for extended wear and use. I haven’t fully tested the battery life yet but I like that they tell you the battery % when you first put them on, and that the case charges wirelessly as well as plugged in. The voice controls are great, but the earphones themselves are pretty touch sensitive so that is something to adjust to. Overall I am very glad I gave these Bose Quiet Comfort earphones a shot. If you’re looking for stellar sound quality without paying exorbitant price then I highly recommend this product.

First, I want to say the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds 2024 are easily the most comfortable I’ve ever had. The sound is great (not a audiophile here, so strictly an objective opinion) And the noise cancellation is, far and away, better than expected. All this is why I’ve tried everything to work through a major design flaw.All the reviews praise these buds, only mentioning (almost as an aside) that there are connection issues. Also, many purchaser reviews play down this problem – only commenting about one side or the other temporarily losing connection (an occasional glitch with many brands)What they’re missing is that all of these reviews seem to be using the buds while engaged in some activity (eg: gym, running, walking, etc). When sedentary (ie: motionless, lying down or reclining) the Bose Buds will consistently lose their connection. I’ve even tried to disable in-ear detection (the option to do so not offered by Bose). Using tape over the in-ear sensor, I’ve found that the buds still seem to require some motion to “stay alive”.I am currently awaiting delivery of my 3rd replacement earbuds and am really hoping that at some point Bose will try to do something about this in a future firmware update.-- Update --The following (in brackets) I submitted to Bose today to try to solve the issue I was having<< I am now on my 4th pair of Bose QuietComfort Earbuds (gen 2) 2024. This latest replacement has proven to be the best functioning so far. The primary problem, however, still persists.In doing some testing I believe a possible a clue to the cause of my most nagging issue has shown up. My primary use of the earbuds is for meditation (ie: while wearing them my head is almost entirely motionless). It appears that the buds are designed to detect movement and that a lack of motion causes one or both of the buds disconnect periodically.Testing this hypothesis during a few listening sessions, I made a point of moving my head every 10 minutes. By doing so, I was able to listen without interruption through several tests (one of then for an hour & 45 minutes). Of course, having to concentrate on moving my head is no acceptable solution. >>- - After reviewing my query, I was informed that this is, indeed part of their design and nothing can be done. The fact that it’s a problem that many have mentioned in You-tube reviews and online comments was not addressed. My conclusion is that Bose is now a company trading on its past reputation and should be avoided. Thus - for obvious reasons - I've reduced my rating to 1 star (zero is not an option here)
