Bose QuietComfort Earbuds review: Best ANC Buds

Bose may be fashionably late to the party, but the wait was worth it. Are the new QuietComfort Earbuds the best wireless ANC buds you can buy? We found out.

Best noise-canceling buds ; Excellent call quality ; Exciting audio quality ; Solid battery life ; Secure fit

No multi-point connection ; A bit bulky

Bose QuietComfort Earbuds review: noise-canceling champion

Better at silencing your surroundings than Apple or Sony.

Best noise cancellation yet among true wireless earbuds ; Excellent sound quality ; Comfortable, secure fit

Large carrying case ; No way to go back to the last track with the earbuds ; Can only pair to one device at a time

Bose’s new QuietComfort Earbuds aren’t cheap, but they sound great and offer better active noise cancellation than other true wireless earbuds like the Apple AirPods Pro and Sony WF-1000XM3 earbuds.

Bose QuietComfort Earbuds Review

The true wireless Bose QuietComfort Earbuds offer strong audio performance and the most effective noise cancellation we've tested in the category to date.

Expensive ; Sound signature isn't for purists ; Bulky case ; On-ear controls could be more complete

Bose QuietComfort 3

Bose QuietComfort headphone

Bose's QuietComfort 3 headphones are a smaller and more compact follow-up to the QuietComfort 2s. They offer a more compact design, extracomfortable cushy foam earpieces, a rechargeable battery, full sound, and effective noise-canceling circuitry, and...

The Bose QuietComfort 3s are even more expensive than their predecessors. And when the battery dies, so does the music.

With the QuietComfort 3s, Bose has done a remarkable job of shrinking its popular noise-canceling headphones while achieving similarly impressive sound quality--but that engineering feat doesn't come cheap.

Bose QuietComfort Earbuds review

Bose thought small and it paid off big

Great audio quality ; Elegant design ; Excellent active noise cancelling ; Simple touch interface

Massive earbuds and charging case ; Battery life could be better

The Bose QuietComfort brings the excellent audio and active noise cancellation from its headphones and puts them into a tiny pair of earbuds with relatively no sacrifices.

Bose QuietComfort Headphones

These aren't the best headphones you can get from Bose, but they sound fabulous and cost $80 less than the company's top-of-the-line QuietComfort Ultra.

Blessedly neutral sound ; Bose wrote the book on active noise cancellation, and it’s terrific here ; Easy to operate, with dedicated push-button controls

You won’t get Bose’s new spatial audio processing ; While not Bose’s most expensive headphones, they are pricey ; ANC tends to freak out on bouncy bus rides

Bose’s second-best active noise-cancelling headphone features new control options, including Spotify Tap; its analog audio cable gains a microphone; and its battery run time stretches to 24 hours. It’s solid value.

Bose QuietComfort Earbuds Truly Wireless Review

The Bose QuietComfort Earbuds Truly Wireless are premium earbuds with great active noise canceling (ANC). They're very well-built, decently comfortable, and offe...

Graphic EQ and presets available. Well-balanced sound profile that's suitable for a variety of audio genres. Great noise isolation performance. Stable fit.

Relatively bulky design for truly wireless earbuds. No multi-device pairing. Closed-off soundstage.

The Bose QuietComfort Earbuds are good for neutral sound. Out of the box, they have a neutral yet slightly bright sound profile that's versatile enough for a variety of audio content. That said, you can customize their sound to your liking using their...

Bose QuietComfort Earbuds review

When it comes to noise cancellation, the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds outshines every wireless earbud model out there.

Superb active noise cancellation ; Warm, rich sound quality ; Transparency mode blends with ANC ; Excellent mics for calls and digital assistant use ; Instant connectivity

Disappointing battery life ; Bulky and heavy

We can also harp on the luxury price point for argument’s sake, but let’s be honest. Those who have shopped for Bose headphones already know what that money is going towards: unbeatable noise cancellation and great overall performance. And that’s the...
