Bose - QuietComfort Earbuds II True Wireless Noise Cancelling In-Ear Headphones - Midnight Blue

These earbuds are great, without a doubt. Sound quality is very good, but the main reason I purchased them was for the noise cancelling properties. I have a 15 month old who screams frequently for the joy of it. The noise cancellation itself is very good, but no match for our little fella's screams, but the aware feature with active sense or whatever its called is just fantastic. For anyone else who uses earbuds for this kind of reason, you'll know that constantly having noise cancelling on locks you in your head and stops you from being able to take part in normal life. As such, I was particularly interested in the active sense feature which allows you to take part in normal life by hearing what's going on around you, but actively seeks to cut out loud or intrusive sounds. It works incredibly well on these things. After spending a couple of £hundred on earplugs and ear defenders and having purchased Sont WF-1000xm5 and WH-1000xm5 for this purpose, I now use these all the time. They won't necessarily catch the start of a single scream, but they will cut in to reduce the impact of any that follow in quick succession. Also, they seem to reduce the frequency of even the initial scream, and it has always been the frequency of the screams which I found hardest to stomach. As I've been writing out little man has decided to start screaming as he wanted some water, and they didn't cut in immediately, but quickly enough to suppress the following ones to the point where it was was obviously audible, but the frequency and volume were subdued. The app is pretty poor. Other than initially connecting once charged buds are removed from the case (which does give enough time to use the fit test function to ensure that the noise cancelling will work as effectively as possible) the app will not then connect again to the buds, which is extremely irritating if you have to remove one or both of the buds for any reason as you can't then check the ear seal. However, I can personally forgive the rubbish app as the noise cancelling/aware with active sense is so effective. I should also add, that for my specific purposes, the noise cancelling on these is better than on both the WH and WF xm5s from Sony. I appreciated that others, with different needs may have a different experience though. I purchased the xl/xs stability bands and buds to make these fit properly for me, whereas the Sony WF-1000xm5 I found to offer a better out of the box fit.

I bought these to replace the earlier model and what a difference . The title says it all, they really are fantastic . Fabulous clarity of sound and the noise cancelling feature is unbelievable. Not the cheapest earbuds to buy but once you have these there'll be no other options for you to consider in the future.

I had the mark I version & debated whether it was worth upgrading. Glad I did. A significant improvement in terms of sound quality, noise cancelling and size. They fit and stay fitted so well. My only issue is with the white noise they produce. On the moved (commuting), you don't notice it at all, but I wanted to read without distraction, so popped them in and the white noise is really noticeable. Compared them with the MkIs, which are silent in comparison. Sort that issue out and it's a 10/10 from me! 9/10 otherwise!

First I bought AirPods Pro 2 which I gave to my nephew because of the battery was awful. Then I bought Master and Dynamic MW08 sports, I gave that to my other nephew because noise cancellation was awful. Then I took a gamble and went with these Bose Quitecomfort and honestly the sound is amazing, has a beautiful punchy base, amazing noise cancellation and it's loud which I wanted. These are my first Bose wireless EarPods. Love it. I will keep these until Bose releases 3rd generation :).

I've owned many Bose products but this is by far my favourite one. The sound quality is that classic Bose sound that anyone who has used their products will know and love. After having tested these on busy roads, on public transport, on windy days and just at home, I can say that the active noise cancelling is excellent. It feels like you are in a bubble walking through a busy city centre where all the outside noises and sounds are dampened to such a great degree and you become only aware of the music. The best part of the noise cancelling is unlike other brands, the Bose ones do not block your ear canal with a stiff rubber earpiece like the flagship Sony earphones. Instead it is a soft flexible earpiece with another supporting bit that holds it in your ear comfortably but firmly and somehow manages to remove the outside noise. Bose were not the first to bring out true wireless active noise cancelling headphones but you can tell why. These are a cut above the rest.
