BoseQuietComfort Wireless Noise Cancelling Earbuds 5.3, Lifestyle Bluetooth Earbuds with Active Noise Cancellation, Up to 8.5 Hours of Battery Life, Black

These Bose QuietComfort Earbuds absolutely blew me away. I own several big-brand headphones including Beats and Sony, but the sound quality on these is truly outstanding—rich, balanced, and immersive with incredible depth. The active noise cancellation is next-level, blocking out everything from traffic to chatter with ease.They’re also surprisingly comfortable, even for long listening sessions. They sit securely without putting pressure on the ears, and I never feel like they’re going to fall out—even while moving around or on the go.Battery life is solid, and the Twilight Blue colour adds a nice premium touch. If you’re serious about sound and comfort, these are a fantastic investment. Bose have absolutely nailed it with this

Moving to Bose from Apple AirPods Pro for earbuds but a happy long standing existing user of Bose Cinema speakers.Impressions are really good, fit of earbuds in ear are excellent for me and do not seem to fall out anywhere near as much as the problematic Apple AirPods Pro which despite trying all the silicone inserts found none that worked.Sound quality is what you would expect, excellent - Dolby Atmos works great. Noise cancelling works great and the "aware" mode is on par with Apple transparency mode.At time of writing inexplicably you have to have a different App to the normal BOSE app to access all the features but that's a minor niggle. There are a lot of customisation options and the touch functions options are plentiful and you can customise also the behaviour for making phone calls.They are touted as "made for iPhone/iPad"; the consideration to move away from Apple for earbuds if using a lot of Apple ecosystem is you lose the seamless handoff to all your Apple devices, though for me having the ability to pair to two devices with Bose (least limited to two I believe at time of writing) is OK for me for MacBook and iPhone use and pairing is quick and seamless as the Apple devices were. The other thing you lose is "Find My". Which was a miracle I hadn't lost the Apple buds given how much they fell out. It would be good if Bose could do some kind of tracking of lost device on their app.I don't find the voice prompts annoying/ bad quality that some other reviews mention and connectivity hasn't been an issue. Just ensure you update firmware via the app as with any new smart device purchase. Register with Bose for 2 year warranty.

The sound quality of these is great. But this is the worst pair of in ear phones I have ever bought. Firstly they are uncomfortable, the buds are far too large to fit in your ear particularly whilst running they constantly fall out. One of the ends of buds fell off and I lost it on the ground somewhere - there is no replacement for this unless you go directly onto the bose website and there is not an identical replacement and the original box does not come with spares - it cost me an extra £15 plus shipping to replace.However the biggest issue is functionality, placing the earbuds back inside of the case does not seemingly turn them off. This is a huge nuisance when you need to just recharge the headphones as they are both still connected to your phone and also not recharging in the case. Other issues include taking them out the case and one of the earbuds simply does not connect which means you are constantly putting them back in the case to take them back out only to discover one of them has not recharged. I have owned this product for less then 2 months and I can catagorically say these are the worst earbuds I have ever bought, I would not recommend these.

These headphones are excellent. I have previously used the Sony WF-1000XM3, and found that they would often disconnect, and even having tried with a variety of tips they never felt like they fit well.These Bose in-ear headphones have a tip & seal design, to ensure they are properly seated in your ear, which also helps with the noise cancelling, which is also excellent.The sound quality is superb, across a variety of music genres, even at low volumes.The noise cancelling so good that I’m not even aware people are talking around me, and can barely even hear loud noises such as cars or trains (be careful of what’s going on around you!).I have never needed to use these at more than about 2/3rds of max volume as the noise cancelling is so good.The battery lasts ages, I’ve owned these for several months and icky charged them 3-4 times so far. They also charge very quickly.The only downside, which is relatively minor, is that the headphones don’t really sit well within the charging case, like on the Sony headphones. More like they sit on top of a magnetic slot. Tuis can mean if you drop them that the headphones will pop out.To the people that have mentioned the ‘weird voice’ that says ‘headphones connected’ as soon as you put them on, that sounds very low quality; either this isn’t as bad as it used to be, or I’m simply not bothered by it.Overall I’m very happy with these headphones - if your looking for in-ear headphones with excellent quality audio and excellent noise cancelling then these are the ones to get.
