Bose Quiet Comfort Noise Cancelling Earbuds II True Wireless Earphones with Personalized Noise Cancellation & Sound Limited Edition Eclipse Grey, In Ear, Eclipse Grey

Little pricey but worth the money.Sound is excellent quality.ANC is top notch.Fitting is superb, doesn't fall out from ear while workout. even though my ears are small and have difficulty in fit for most of the earbuds this one fits perfect in my ears with large ear tips.Buds are little big but doesn't feel heavy.Ambient noise feature fails sometimes if there is a louder noise.call quality is just average only.

I was resistant to paying so much, especially having all the new main wireless active in-ear and over ear headphones from Apple, Anker (there models of Soundcore, second best), Sony, etc. But since I could save 25% on Prime Days, I finally invested in it.The best sound belongs to Soundcore Liberty Pro-3 (one needs a lot of trials to adjust the fitting of this bulky thing).But the fit, comfort, and - absolutely excellent - noise cancelation of these Bose earpods is just from another planet. And the sound is adequate good too.So guys, save money and buy Bose. Forget the rest.(btw the new Bose earbuds II are better than the over-ear Comfort 45 and Apple AirPods).I'm not related to Bose. Just a headphones fan and a long-term daily user for more than 5 hrs a day.

I tried many top tier Earbuds such as Sony, Apple and Jabra. Bose surpasses them all, would recommend this for all, pay more and get premium products

Previously I rated it 5 stars:I did a comparison wearing both and by far the ANC in Bose earbuds does a better job. It’s also better at its noise cancellation in transparency mode.New review:After three months of using it, consistently and over time I noticed the buds would at times either stop connecting properly, or connect on one ear, or other similar issues. Then one day sound almost diminished in both buds. After a lot of reading it turned out that unlike aipods that have the mesh within the removable silicon tips - these have them glued to the unit. You cannot remove them and cleaning the mesh will simply push the earwax build up get pushed Down into the mesh / unit until there is zero sound. I followed their instructions and added hydrogen peroxide only to have the device ruined. It now makes 1990s modem sounds (beeps and boops and whizzing sound) when I put them back in the ear. Sound crackling and other artifacts plus the dubbed sound. I hate the fact that I returned my AirPods over this. AirPods are reliable easy to clean and have zero connectivity issues with both iPhones and androids. This is a poorly designed impractical product that does not stand the test of time.

Great sound and noise cancellationAs you would expect from BoseBut the case on these ones is flimsy.The lid snapped off the last ones.The previous version was excellentAlso doesn’t tell you the charge status of the case on the app.I had the first set from the week they were released and have had lots of connection issuesI’m hoping this new set solve that.

I have to say that I am absolutely blown away by this Bose product.In a cafe environment the noise cancelling is incredible to say the least! I honestly thought I would not see a difference from any of the other products I have, boy was I wrong!They are absolutely incredible at removing background noise and leaving you with crisp clear sound and communication on any call.These are the only earbuds for me and I would highly recommend them to anyone - Thank you Bose.

it has a superb ANC mode in any tws earphones i have. its probably top notched. Shuts the noise 99 percent and i like the controls, its simple and straightforward. However i have to return it back cause its not that worth of a penny. i means i was really disappointed and frustrated with bose feels like its no product from bose. The build quality is ok but feels cheap really and the case is ok its heavy and a tad bigger. But the main let down of this product is the BT connectivity especially with the bose app it cuts out the connection to your phone and the earbuds and with many tries its pointless trying to connect and reconnect it and reset it. but i found out in many trials and testing that you have to delete the app so the BT connectivity will have no issue.so so there you go. Aside from that the sound is just ok, bass is ok also.

Good offer price original product.. thank u

Estoy apuntado al gimnasio más ruidoso de Madrid, creo yo. Aparte de tener la música ambiente a niveles de discoteca en una docena de altavoces enormes repartidos por toda la sala, tienen clases de HIIT en una zona de la sala sin separación con la sala de máquinas donde, además de otro altavoz con música atronadora, el monitor ultra motivado de cualquier gimnasio lleva un micrófono donde igual grita instrucciones que exclamaciones de ánimo. En este ambiente, es imposible escuchar la música que uno lleva si no se tiene unos auriculares con cancelación de ruido y ahí empieza mi periplo que continúa con este modelo.Después de pasar por unos Nothing Ear 2, bastante cómodos, con calidad de sonido y ANC decentes para el precio y unos Sony Linkbuds S menos cómodos de lo que pensaba y con más problemas de lo que pensaba, decidí ir a por la mejor cancelación de ruido que se vende en unos auriculares aptos para hacer deporte y que, encima, se venden como el colmo de la comodidad y cumplen.El primer día que me los puse no me parecieron tan cómodos. En las instrucciones viene que hay que colocarlos en la oreja recto y luego girarlos para que se agarren al marco de la oreja a la vez que crean un sello en la entrada del oído. Lo hice y el resultado fue una sensación de presión molesta en la oreja y el oído que hacían que tuviese ganas de quitármelos a los pocos minutos. Decidí que, puesto que mi oreja es pequeña y, nada más ponerlos derechos ya tenía un sellado y sujeción suficiente, iba a dejarlos así, sin girar o girando sólo un milímetro si acaso y la diferencia es increíble. Según la aplicación, con las almohadillas por defecto, tengo un sellado perfecto con ellas apoyadas sobre la entrada del oído pero sin hacer presión y lo mismo con la parte de los alerones de la oreja. Descansan sobre ella pero no la presionan. Me he ido a hacer deporte con ellos así y no se mueven por más que me mueva y, ahora sí, son los auriculares más cómodos que he probado. Al contrario que con los Sony, que uno tiene la sensación de taponamiento, como estar debajo del agua, y que escuchas tu respiración todo el rato o la vibración de tus pisadas, con estos no tienes esa sensación, a pesar de estar dando una experiencia de aislamiento superior incluso. Al quedarse justo taponando la entrada del oído, no tienes esa sensación molesta de tener algo haciendo presión dentro.No llega al punto que dicen algunos de no notar que los llevas puestos. Se nota. Son unos cacharros grandes y gruesos y notas que los llevas puestos, pero no es una sensación molesta ni dolorosa.En cuanto a la calidad de sonido, los recibí con el firmware original y aluciné lo bien que se escuchan. Lo bien balanceado que estaba el sonido y la calidad de detalles que reproducen. Muy por encima de ningún otro auricular que haya probado, pero también estos son considerablemente más caros que los otros que había probado antes. Actualicé el firmware y, aunque no puedo decir que suenen mal, sí que prefería el perfil de sonido que tenían antes. Es muy sutil y siguen sonando genial, pero me da la sensación que sonaban un pelín más balanceado antes. Aún así, nada que objetar en cuanto a calidad de sonido.En cuanto a la cancelación de ruido, también lo mejor que se puede tener (creo). Incluso con el volumen del móvil al 60-70%, en el escenario del gimnasio ultra ruidoso al que voy, escucho mi música y un leve fondo de algo que está ahí, es inevitable, pero si no le prestas atención, ni lo oyes. Maravilloso. Y no dan tanta sensación de presión fantasma en los oídos que otros auriculares con ANC, como los Nothing, si que dan. Nada que objetar en cuanto a ANC. Lo que esperaba y más.En cuanto a características, me parece vergonzoso que, en 2023 (o 2022 cuando salieron) unos auriculares que cuestan lo que cuestan, no incluyan soporte para aptX ni conexión multipunto cuando llevan un chip perfectamente capacitado para ello, ni que se pueda ver el nivel de carga del estuche en la aplicación. Y encima tengan problemas de conexión con su propia aplicación. Sobre esto: El primer día y ya tuve problemas para que la aplicación detectase los auriculares cuando los tenía conectados al móvil y reproduciendo música. Mirando por internet resulta que muchas personas que experimentamos esto tenemos smartwatches o similares. En mi caso, una Xiaomi Mi Band 7. Recomendaban desincronizar la Mi Band, reiniciar, resincronizar los auriculares, reiniciar y resincronizar la Mi Band. Después de hacerlo, me sincronizaron correctamente durante todo el día pero, al usar la pulsera un poco más, volvió a no detectar los auriculares. Es increíble que unos auriculares de gama alta, a este precio, no sean capaces de sincronizar con su propia aplicación, algo que no pasa con auriculares que cuestan menos de la mitad.Por suerte, dado que la aplicación es ultra básica para todo, uso Wavelet como ecualizador, que incluso tiene un perfil personalizado para estos auriculares y no se necesita la app para emparejarlos con cualquier dispositivo, así que, lo único que echo de menos es la funcionalidad de verificar el sellado de los auriculares cuando me los pongo para asegurarme que tienen un nivel de cancelación y calidad de sonido correctos.En resumen. Auriculares con una cancelación de ruido y calidad de sonido sobresaliente, adecuados para hacer ejercicio, con buen agarre pero con características demasiado básicas para su precio y competencia y no tan cómodos si tienes unas orejas pequeñas, como es mi caso.

PREMESSA:Recensioni dicevano che degli auricolari in-ear non possono isolare quanto delle cuffie over-ear. Beh, io credo che se non lo fanno tanto quanto, poco ci manca. Il mio termine di paragone sono le cuffie over-ear Bose QuietComfort 45 che ho preso un paio di mesi fa, ma volevo provare dei dispositivi meno ingombranti come gli auricolari per quando mi distendo sul letto o per magari utilizzarli fuori.CONFRONTO CON LE CUFFIE OVER-EARE RUMORE DI FONDO GENERATO:Le cuffie over-ear certo hanno un addizionale isolamento passivo dato dalle coppe, ma il livello di isolamento di questi auricolari in-ear è ottimo. Un po' di fruscio di fondo, come un leggero rumore bianco, è comunque sempre presente (quando non sono in riproduzione), e un po' tende a dare fastidio, ma neanche tanto. Le uso da appena qualche ora, sono ancora in fase di testing primo utilizzo, mi riservo di rimodulare eventualmente questa valutazione. Credo comunque che un po' di leggero rumore bianco di fondo è inevitabile in un dispositivo con cancellazione attiva del rumore. In fondo anche nelle cuffie over-ear è presente, solo lì la presenza della coppa lo rende un po' più "ampio" fisicamente proprio (canale auricolare più tutto l'interno della coppa, anziché solo canale auricolare), così ci si fa meno caso, o forse mi sto facendo influenzare da una recensione che evidenziava questo aspetto di questi auricolari, e mi sto focalizzando troppo su questa cosa. Confido ci si faccia nel tempo l'abitudine, solo il tempo potrà dirci di più.In riproduzione, comunque, a normale volume, non si percepisce neanche minimamente.CONFRONTO CON ALTRI AURICOLARI ANCIN MIO POSSESSO:In questo momento mi ritrovo anche un altro paio di auricolari in-ear con ANC, di altra marca, che costano meno della metà, discreti. Posso dire che quelli qualche rumore di fondo lo lasciano sentire, soprattutto quelli un po' più alti in frequenza. Questi isolano decisamente meglio.ANC:Non si può spegnere l'ANC, solo eventualmente isolare il 90, 80, 70... fino allo 0% dei suoni ovvero sentire completamente i suoni ambientali (in pratica lasciar passare il 10, 20, 30... fino al 100% dei suoni), cosa che le QC45 non fanno. Questa funzionalità magari può tornare utile, per rendersi parzialmente isolati e sentire per esempio il rumore dei motori, le chiacchiere, ecc.Gli auricolari non si possono spegnere, quindi decidere di usare per esempio solo l'isolamento passivo da spenti, o anche ascoltare la musica la sera senza ANC potrebbe tornare utile, quando all'esterno non ci sono molti rumori ambientali e si potrebbe quindi evitare quel leggero fruscio bianco che generano. Ancora non so come si comportano la sera, magari ne generano meno. (Aggiornamento: no, il fruscio generato è indipendente dal momento della giornata.) Altri auricolari in cui si può spegnere l'ANC per esempio possono risultare più riposanti quando per un po' si vuole spegnere l'ANC e usare solo l'isolamento passivo. Cosa che farebbe anche risparmiare un po' di batteria. Devo dire però che così è più semplice e si evita lo sbattimento di spegnere e accendere l'ANC all'occorrenza. Non si può fare e il "problema" neanche si pone: un pensiero in meno. Sono così pensati infatti per essere facili da usare, e soprattutto confortevoli, quasi ci si dimentica di averli, sono leggerissimi. A differenza di altri auricolari che magari occludono maggiormente, e possono risultare fastidiosi da tenere su per molto tempo. E mentre scrivo torno a fare caso a quel leggero fruscio che beh se uno ci fa caso è fastidioso, consiglio anche a me stesso di non farci neanche caso: il prezzo da pagare per evitare di sentire i fastidiosissimi rumori di fondo costanti della fabbrica che mi ritrovo a lato! E quelli pare vengono completamente annullati. Qualche compromesso bisogna pur accettarlo nella vita.VERDETTO:Mi sento di promuovere questi auricolari con 4/5 stelline, giusto perché li paragono con le cuffie over-ear che forse offrono un maggior isolamento, ma ho voluto la praticità degli auricolari? E mo' me li tengo. Devo ancora decidere se ritornare quegli altri che avevo preso o utilizzarli da battaglia. Questi, al di là di tutte le considerazioni, li ritengo degli ottimi auricolari, e sono eletti come i miei auricolari principali.SUONO E VOLUME:Il suono della musica è ottimo, bassi presenti, anche potenti, e volume alto, tanto che in questo momento li sto ascoltando al 50%, a casa, in un ambiente discretamente silenzioso, escludendo quei fastidiosissimi rumori di fondo a bassa frequenza che sono uno dei motivi per cui ho intenzione di cambiare casa, ma questo è un altro discorso.----------Aggiornamento dopo qualche settimana di utilizzo.APP:L'applicazione Bose Music per la gestione degli auricolari è obbrobriosa, indecorosa, indegna per dei dispositivi costosi come quelli messi in commercio da Bose. Se gli auricolari sono "riposati" e carichi appena usciti dalla custodia allora magari vengono subito riconosciuti, ma dopo un po' perdono la connessione con l'app e non è più possibile modificare impostazioni quali equalizzazione e regolazione della cancellazione del rumore, cosa, questa, che sarebbe il caso metterla direttamente sugli auricolari, come la regolazione del volume. Invece che a destra e a sinistra il volume, lasciare il volume solo a destra e mettere la regolazione dell'ANC a sinistra credo sarebbe meglio. Almeno la possibilità di così impostarlo se si vuole. Così come la possibilità di disattivare i microfoni dell'ANC (e quindi l'ANC stesso) la sera, invece di essere praticamente costretto ad usare degli altri auricolari per evitare di sorbirmi il rumore bianco generato dai microfoni che captano l'ambiente.

Tuve unos Bose SoundSport Free que dejé olvidados en un tren aunque bajé el útlimo y lo reporté al revisor. Nunca aparecieron (eh, Adif?), pero no me lio con esa historia.El caso es que mis Bose SoundSport eran insuperables. Los echaba de menos, pero me daba palo gastarme un dineral en los mismos auriculares.De modo que probé otros. Marshall, Beast, Jabra... Excepto estos últimos, ninguno sonaba como mis añorados Bose. Ya resignado a gastarme el mismo dineral en el mismo producto pensé en probar los QuietComfort de Bose. Me disuadía el hecho de que los anteriores estaban diseñados para deporte y estos no. Los SoundSport aludían a la vida activa de un deportista avezado y prometían resistencia al sudor y la lluvia. Los QuietComfort a la vida sedentaria de un vejete con más recuerdos que proyectos.Pero en cuanto los probé fué un flechazo. Los QuietComfort agarran a la oreja mucho mejor que los SoundSport y, en cuanto a cancelación de ruido, son insuperables. Te los pones en la calle, en medio del tráfico y el bullicio de un día de compras y es como entrar en la calidez de tu habitación, en un sitio seguro y privilegiado donde solo haya buena, música, podcast excelentes y la aterciopelada o alegre voz de tus seres queridos a los que escuchas y que te escuchan perfectamente y sin distorsiones.En cuanto a la resistencia al agua, los dejé en los pantalones de deporte después de venir de correr y se me olvidó sacarlos antes de echarlos a la cesta de la ropa sucia. Cuando me acordé de ellos, los pantalones estaban en la cesta de ropa lavada, rebusqué en los bolsillos con el ánimo de luto, dispuesto a darles un entierro digno, probé a ver si funcionaban, especialmente por la curiosidad de si oiría a Mick Jagger como si cantara haciendo gorgoritos, como si Taylor Swift fuera a entonar la banda sonora de la Sirenita cuando , oh sorpresa, los auriculares respondieron soberanamente. El paso por la lavadora, con el programa largo y a 60 grados centígrados no había hecho mella en su hardware ni en la calidad del sonido.La app, que es un poco tostón de descargar y usar (aviso a Bose, merece una actualización molona), pero permite cambiar del modo cancelación de ruido, que de tan perfecto es casi suicida para ir por la calle, a otro que permite que se filtren las bocinas de los taxis, las sirenas de las ambulancias y que te des cuenta de que te llaman cuando te gritan desde lejos los amigos.En conclusión, no sé a quién admiras, si a los Beatles o a los Rolling, si a Marx o a Nietzsche, si eres idealista o nominalista, si prefieres a Howard Hawks o a a Chantal Ackerman, si eres de Malher o de Bad Bunny, si eres de Buda o de Mahoma, de Stan Lee o de Jack Kirby, si vas a misa con peinado con la raya al lado o te vas al monte apenas te has puesto el chándal sin pasar por la iglesia; si tus ídolos se vieran en la necesidad de comprar unos auriculares, sin ninguna duda, comprarían los QuietComfort de Bose.

I owned some traditional Bose noise canceling headphones for years that I've used extensively for travel, mowing the lawn, etcetera. They're great! I was looking for something I could use every day, and because of my experience with the brand I purchased Bose QC Ultra Earbuds.Starting with the unboxing - Bose did a nice job with packaging, but you'd expect that in this price range. The earbud charger case is a nice shape and size, but it lacks wireless charging. This is disappointing for these high-end earbuds. The next thing I tried was removing the earbuds from the case. This is where I began to get annoyed. Perhaps there’s a trick I’m not aware of but getting the earbuds out of the case is much more difficult than it should be!The Earbuds themselves are very nice. After trying them for fit, I realized I needed to go to the larger Eartips and Stability Bands. Bose did a nice job in their manual stepping you through checking the fit and the replacement of these pieces. Once I replaced them, the earbuds are not falling out. This is especially important to me as these will mostly be used while riding my bicycle.I had already loaded the app and the earbuds connected without any fiddling on my part which was nice. I put on some of my favorite tunes and began testing the different settings; Noise Cancellation, Immersive Audio and Listening Modes. All were impressive, and each will have a place depending on the situation. Very nice!I realize this is a review of the earbuds, but the app is an important tool while using them. For example, there’s the ability to customize different combinations of the settings and setting them as favorites for quicker access. There’s also the ability to modify the default touch settings. I haven’t done this yet because I plan on living with the defaults for a while to see what might be lacking for me.Generally the app and connection is rock solid, but there was an instance where the earbuds kept loosing connection. An uninstall and reinstall of the app seemed to cure this.All in all I am happy with this purchase. Time will tell if the quality matches my original Bose headphones, but I am optomistic on that front. The only negatives I've found to date are the design of the case when extracting the earbuds, and the fact that the case doesn't include wireless charging.Hope this helped!

Man, I thought I'd found the perfect earbuds and am so bummed I have to return these. A little background: I've been using v1 of the Airpods Pro for about 2.5 years. One of them flaked out last week so I began searching for a replacement. While I'm well within the Apple universe (MacBook Pro, iPhone 13 Pro, iPad Pro, etc) I also use Windows quite a bit. In my search I read dozens of reviews on earbuds, and the vast majority of them almost presumptively point Apple users to the Airpods Pro 2. I get it, in theory everything syncs up and works better. But there were things I didn't like about the Airpods Pro 1 (ANC was mediocre, and particularly bad on a plane; sound quality was meh). So I was actually eager to step outside the Apple box and try something a little more universal. I narrowed my search down to two, and ended up purchasing both the Bose QC II as well as the Airpods Pro 2, with the intent of doing my own use case testing and returning one.Upon receiving and trying both, it took me less than 30 minutes to decide which to keep: The Bose QC II.The ANC on the Airpods 2 was very, very good, but the Bose QC II just took it a couple notches better. As I travel on airplanes quite a bit the ANC was very important to me, and like I said my experience with the original Airpods was lacking.Additionally, after playing a few of my favorite songs with each unit, the Airpods Pro 2 sounded good, but the Bose QC II again came out on top. I'm not an audiophile, but the sound was just richer, with more depth; I heard certain notes in a different way than I ever had with the Airpods.It was at this point that I decided to send the Airpods back, which I did the following day, ready to begin my new and better audio life with the Bose QC II. Everything started out in a state of bliss. Working out of a home office, I could no longer hear my wife working through her accounting problems via Zoom calls in the other room. (FWIW, I also didn't hear her when she came up behind me and asked if I wanted something for lunch). I received a call, and though I fumbled a bit with the controls the first time the call quality was fine, and they seemed to be able to hear me OK.However, the first chink in the armor came just this evening when I tried connecting the Bose QC II to my Windows system in preparation for a call I have tomorrow. Connection via Bluetooth was simple and straightforward. I then went to a news site that I knew had videos and listened. For some reason the sound kept clicking in and out. I thought it might be the connection with the site, so opened Spotify and played a couple of songs. Same issue. I then went to the Bose app on my iPhone, which said it was having trouble connecting, even though it was in fact connected to the PC (albeit a little glitchy).At the end of the day, this last experience seems consistent with so many of the other reviews that I read up here (thank you), and I just don't want to be dealing with this again and again (and especially not after I'm past the return window!). I have no interest in going through a tech support call with Bose or them sending a new pair. For $300 plus tax I shouldn't have to, and these should work more seamlessly. So I'm returning, and I'm not sure what I'm going to replace them with.A few other observations:- The controls for pausing, skipping forward, moving back, volume control, etc. work and are intuitive, however a few times I inadvertently paused music when I was just trying to adjust the earpod. This wasn't the deal killer; I figured in time I'd get used to the sensitivity and figure it out. But it was a little annoying and perhaps some sensitivity adjustments, or more of a haptic-type feel would work better.- The earbuds themselves fit great out of the box. I didn't even try the other sizes. They were very comfortable.- I liked how each time I put the earpods in it told me how much battery was left in each.- The charging case is slightly larger than the Airpods case, but still very pocketable. I could care less that it doesn't support wireless charging, just not a big deal to me. The magnet holding the earpods in also seemed a little stronger than Apple's case, which I really liked because anytime I accidentally dropped the Apple case the earpods would fall out and slide all over the place (wood floors).In summary, again I really, really wanted these to work out. I was so impressed with the ANC and sound quality, and liked how the bass and treble could be adjusted in the Bose app. It's just a shame that it had these connection glitches with my computer system. To be clear, I've read that Bose customer support is good and fair, but again if I have to call customer support to just to properly use a pair of $300 earbuds then something is wrong.UPDATE:So before returning I decided to try one more time with connecting to computer. I shut down all devices (iPad, etc) that were near the computer, to reduce any potential interference. This resolved the issue with the sound breaking out and the earbuds worked fine.I then shut down the computer and reconnected them to the iPhone. All good. However, when I rebooted the computer I somehow lost the connection with the iPhone, and what I was listening to stopped playing. I then looked at the Bose app and it was somewhere in no man’s land, searching for a connection with the earbuds. Only a reboot of the phone got the app out of this mode, and allowed me to reconnect.So… this takes me back to my original point: These are among THE MOST EXPENSIVE earbuds on the market right now. I’m the consumer and it’s not my job, nor interest, to troubleshoot problems and jump through hoops to figure out what’s going on. That should have happened at in the Bose QC department, but from my brief experience combined with all the reviews I’ve read, it seems like something slipped past them.Thank you and God bless.
