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 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.

One of the best noise-canceling earbuds I've tested isn't made by Sony or Apple (and they're $50 off)

The latest Bose QuietComfort Earbuds boast powerful noise cancellation, a 30-hour battery life, and bass-forward audio. Right now, they're on sale for just $129.

Bose's latest QuietComfort Earbuds are one of the best pairs of earbuds on the market for anyone looking for strong ANC paired with bold sound and a light, airy fit. Even better is the $179 price point, which is highly competitive given all the features.

These luxury open earbuds are the ones I love running in -- and they're still on sale after Prime Day

The newest Ultra Open earbuds from Bose feature fantastic sound quality and reliable ambient awareness, and continue to be discounted after October Prime Day.

If you are looking for a pair of earbuds that puts spatial awareness at the top of the priority list, the Bose Ultra Open earbuds are the way to go. I'd recommend these to outdoor exercisers, but I'd also recommend them to anybody who listens to music...

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...

Bose QuietComfort Earbuds review: Bulky buds that do it all

Bose compressed some of its best headphones into earbud form, but did it work? Find out in our Bose QuietComfort Earbuds review!

Comfortable, secure fit ; Fast charging, USB-C case ; Bluetooth 5.1 ; IPX4 rating ; Decent noise canceling

No Bluetooth multipoint ; SBC and AAC only, no aptX ; Price

The Bose QuietComfort Earbuds are a credible contender to AirPods Pro, but at a price. The fit is solid, the sound is decent, and the noise canceling is a good feature. However, the lack of multipoint and high price may deter some.
