If i could give this a 4.5 star i would mainly docking it half a star for the cancellation issues and mic. Otherwise an outstanding set of ear buds able to compete with the best out now. Shopping for ANC earbuds have become more and more competitive and to stand out requires execution at the highest level. I found the bose quiet comforts to stand excellent in many of the categories most people will care about but lacking in some key hardware like the microphone keeping it from being the perfect set for most people. The earbuds are very easy to set up and if you download the accompanying app you will unlock many controls to tune the sound and hardware UI for this device. The ear buds themselves fit great into the ear and seal the canal and outter part of the ear giving you a great seal and generating a much better ANC quality than most other ear buds at this price range. Now if you are familiar with the tech the anc will take in sound and kind of counter it to create the ANC and for the most part the bose QC do a great job at that. the only issues is some cancellation sounds are audible and quite loud like to wind so i probably wouldnt recommend these for runners or walkers, but sitting in a office or plane these are perfect. Comfortwise is another highlight for these earbuds they will sit in your canal and a little on the outside but feel very weightless in the ear and even over extended periods will not trap too much heat. I barely noticed they were on when working out in a gym and really give immersion when the ANC is on. The control are very easy to use on the earbuds just tap and hold on them for different uses that can be controlled on the app and turned on and off if you dont want them. The battery life is also quite impressive as these are larger units i got quite a lot of run time with them usually in the range of 6-8 hours on listening to music which is quite amazing. Now for probably the biggest downfall of this pair is the microphone. The sound is very hollow and tinny with a lot of distortion. It is understandable to the other party but very artificial in quality giving you more of a robot tone. I wish the sound could be clearer and more natural but understandable for ear buds. It may be intereference from the ANC mic but man it is truly the weakest point of these otherwise amazing ear buds.
Pros: Excellent ANC, Excellent Sound, Lightweight, Long battery life for listening USB C charging case
Negatives: ANC not good on runs and walks (mainly against wind), Bad Mic

The sound quality is exceptional, with deep bass, clear mids, and crisp highs. But what really stands out is the customization. The touch controls can be personalized to suit your preferences — one tap can pause or play music, adjust the volume, or switch between noise cancellation and transparency modes. This level of control is incredibly handy, especially when you don’t want to pull out your phone every time you need to change something.
Voice control is another feature that elevates the experience. You can easily ask for help from Siri (or your preferred voice assistant), whether it’s answering calls, sending texts, or simply asking for a quick update on the weather. It’s all seamless and easy to use.
Overall, the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds combine top-tier comfort, sound, and functionality in a way that’s hard to beat. Whether you’re on the go or just relaxing, they make the experience incredibly enjoyable. Highly recommend!
