    Bose QC 2 V. Sound Sport true Wireless
    I recently purchased the Bose QC2 buds because my sound sports are not holding a charge longer than 20min, after 4yrs of use. I'm very sad to be switching over. I thought these QC's would stay in the ear as good as the Sound Sport design, but sadly they don't even compare.Setting up the buds is fairly easy, but tedious.Bose QC 2:Pros:- Good sound quality when both headphones are in your ear.- Completely reduces outside noise, it's incredible.- Mic is great during phone callsCons:- Hard to hear a call with just one headphone in.- App updates/issues = connectivity issues- QC Bud's ear pieces get significantly greasier than the sound sport's ear pieces.- I have small ears & these feel like they're going to fall out.- Not as durable. When I was trying to fit these, they fell on the floor twice and were scratched both times. My Sound sports have been dropped many times in 4yrs and still look brand new.I actually prefer the in-ear design on the sound Sport buds, so much. Even though they look bulky in the ear, they never fell out and stayed in very well. I think going smaller on the buds was a huge down fall for people with smaller ears. Very disappointed with my upgrade, I was trying to stay loyal to Bose, but I think I should have tried the Beats Pro Buds 😮‍💨

    I work in a dental lab and I have bad noise sensitivity issues. Bad enough to bring anxiety attacks. I was hesitant to buy these because of the price. I tried other ear buds but they did not cancel anything enough. My hubs demanded I buy these and so I did and good lord the peace these have brought me. What sound does make it through is dampened so much that it's barely there and no longer triggers me. I cannot believe that these little things can block SO MUCH. They are so comfortable that I forget I have them in and the cool little bands they have around the bud keeps them in. They ain't going nowhere! They weigh NOTHING. Easy to get them in and remove. I love that the volume control is a swipe on the side of the bud. Also you can tap three times to repeat a song! I find them very good with phone calls too (android). They are VERY sensitive to my touch commands. I don't have to mash the hell out of them to get them to pause, skip or go back.

    Music and audio books sound brilliant!! I find that the sound from the buds does not have to do battle with any background noise making for an awesome experience. Every other pair of earbuds I have had including Sony's has had to do battle with background noise because they could not cancel squat at my workplace.

    On the connection issue, I had it. The left one stopped syncing. I tried twice to fix it and twice it stopped syncing. I was a sad panda and almost returned them until my hubs told me the left bud syncs with the right bud so if I was taking the left one out first ( I was taking them both out at the same time), it could be causing an issue. I reset the whole thing. Then I started taking the right on out first and putting it in my ear and waiting for the, battery at blah blah percent prompt then the tone that tells you that it's on. Then I take the left one out of the case and put it in and I have never had another problem and I waited a over solid month of nearly everyday use before I posted this. Not one more problem. If you are reluctant about this issue, just remember you can always return them and get your money back if you can't fix the issue. It's freaking worth a try!!! This is an amazing life altering product that has made an ENORMOUS difference in my anxiety level due to constant bombardment of NOISE.

    On battery life. At work I keep the earbud case plugged in. When I go on break and lunch, I put them back in the case to charge. I have never had the battery run out on me. I am there for 9 hours.

    In my opinion these are worth every damn cent. I cannot be without them now. Just remember to take the right one out first and put it in your ear and wait for the tone that tells you it's on. Only then take the left one out.

    1.0 out of 5 stars UPDATED REVIEW: Returned, just within the return window
    Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2023

    UPDATED REVIEW: Returned to Amazon.

    Multiple problems cropped up after several days.

    1) Only the right bud would work.

    2) The accompanying app refused to acknowledge the existence of my iPad - the iPad that I've used with the buds since I got them. iPad Settings could see the buds, but couldn't connect to them.

    3) Finally, this morning the buds could "see" but would not connect to my Dell Win11 laptop, with which they've worked since I bought them.

    I did the usual stuff: forget and repair, reset the buds, blah, blah, blah. As you'll understand if you read my original 3 1/2-star review, there is little about Bose support for this device that would tempt me to believe that contacting the company would be any use at all.

    When the buds work, the sound is good. But my entire user experience has suggested from the start that there is something very wrong with Bose's management of this product, from its design to its documentation and support. This is not a $200+ product - at least, not in my experience. In fairness, your experience may, of course, be different.

    BTW, the link to the online English user manual for this product is still in French. When I looked at it more closely, I realized that it is not even for the QC buds - it's for some amplifier or other! If I were responsible for product support at Bose, I'd be making it my business to see that Amazon reviews of my product were read and acted on by someone at the company. This relatively minor problem with the online user manual suggests that Bose doesn't read our reviews .... :(

    ORIGINAL REVIEW: These were my replacement for my Jabra Elite Pro 7 wireless buds, the left of which gave out less than a year after I bought them (just like it did for many unfortunate purchasers).

    Let me talk about the pros of the Bose earbuds first:

    1) Excellent fit in the ears;

    2) Excellent, full, warm sound (though I qualify this a little below);

    3) Ability to connect to up to 8 devices. The buds remember those devices, so the moment you select the Bose earbuds in your device Bluetooth app they'll connect. Easier than either of my Jabra sets;

    4) Magnetic, so won't fall out of case;

    5) Can be "recognized" by your device as soon as you open the case - you don't need to take them out;

    6) Friends says that the call quality on their end is excellent;

    7) Works fine with Windows devices - something that Jabra still doesn't seem to be able to do;

    8) The buds appear to remember your various settings even if you use them with a device that doesn't have the app. Very good!

    9) You can use one earbud (e.g. for phone calls);

    10) Noise canceling is excellent.

    A word here about the sound quality, which I wouldn't class as either a pro or a con. The buds seem to me to be very bass-heavy, but in saying that I'm aware that the tight fit of this sort of earbud design is so much a part of bass response that it might be my fit, though it is entirely comfortable, is too tight. I run the bass end of the equalizer at about -4 (db? - there's no volume unit specified).

    OK, now having said that, the bass response seems to me to extend way down the spectrum in the orchestral music that I listen to. You can almost feel the resonance of the bows on the double-basses, or the movement of the air when the bass drum is struck. Far and away more satisfying than any other in-ear phones, wireless or wired.

    Now for the cons. Some of these are simply eccentric design decisions. Some of them suggest sloppiness in overall product management or integration into the overall product experience.

    1) The fit in the case is peculiar. Getting them out requires an odd pinching of forefinger and thumb, and I can't take out the left bud with my right fingers - I have to use the left hand. Similarly, stowing the buds isn't intuitive at all, either in the left-right axis or top-bottom axis. I'll probably get used to it, but it's definitely a little strange. I have the glossy black ones, so there are no tell-tale shadows in the case to guide the eye;

    2) There doesn't seem to be any obvious way of determining how they work when you first open the package. There's a small QR code, but that gives information about installation, not use. If you go to the Bose website (at the time of my writing this review) and download the user guide in English, it turns out to be in French! And at least one of the web links from the app is dead.

    3) Controlling the buds involves touching the outside of the buds in various ways: brief touch, long touch, or a slide of the finger. This has the advantage of being "solid-state", as opposed to a clickable switch that can wear out. But the buds sit far enough out from the ears that knowing exactly where that "touchable" area is to be found can be difficult. And that is a problem, because a tentative slide (change the volume) can be interpreted as a touch (stop/start) - you need to be confident.

    4) The app is poorly designed. Here's an example: You can connect the buds using your regular Bluetooth connection, although the app supposedly will do it for you. If you have connected without using the app, however, then the app doesn't know you've connected ... and you won't be able to do anything else with the app until that connection takes place. And I've not found out yet how to delete the "Work" profile I created at the app's suggestion ....

    5) There is a young woman in my earbuds, and when she talks to me about battery strength she sounds bored to death. I'm not surprised, since she insists on telling the the name of the device I've connected to, and the default name of Windows devices is a long and incomprehensible string of gibberish ....

    OK, here's the summary.

    I like the sound and the fit, and I'm glad I bought them.

    However, the overall attention to the user experience doesn't suggest Bose to me, or any sort of premium product for that matter. At $149 they'd be a no-brainer. At their present price, which suggests a luxury experience, I think they're too expensive.

    Estou tendo uma experiência incrível com o fone Bose QuietConfort II. Ouço detalhes nas minhas músicas favoritas que não percebia nos fones anteriores. O som é de muita qualidade e tem um excelente grave. O cancelamento de ruído é muito eficiente. A entrega foi muito rápida. Chegou 40 dias antes do prazo estimado : )

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great headphones !
    Reviewed in Canada on November 13, 2023

    I was a bit of a skeptic when it came to wireless headphones, theses headphones absolutely changed my mind.

    The noise cancellation at first is a bit weird, but after a day or two, it's an amazing feature. It blocks everything, no joke, and I have a very good hearing. I have other headphones, without noise cancellation that I sometimes use, but I immediately notice the difference. The noise cancellation is just making the sound more crisp and audible.

    The sound is great, and can also be adjusted with the Bose Music app.

    It worked 100% with my Galaxy phone, no issues, no hassle (make sure you install "Bose Music").

    The headphones come with 3 ear adjustments, so make sure they are properly fitted. They don't come off easily afterwards.

    I can also wear the headphones for long periods, no issues.

    Touch controls work great as well.

    Some things that I did notice:
    - The battery life is okay I guess, although I do feel that it could be a bit better (not exactly sure what is the equivalent with other headphones). The case also acts as a charger, event when it's not plugged in.
    - I wish I could disable the touch controls temporarily because sometimes when I jog (I live in a colder climate), I wear a jogging running coat with a built in hoodie, and when it gets soaked with sweat, the touch controls are triggered.
    - Sweat slightly alter the headphones ability to stay inside the ears (but that is expected, as they aren't designed for sport).

    Excelentes y comodos, buen audio y buena cancelacion de ruido, solo como punto de vista el modo ambiente o “aware” se siente un poco raro por el cuidado de sonidos altos y quiza me gustaria que el volumen se pudiera oir mas alto pero creo que estan ajustados de acuerdo a nuestra salud auditiva

    Já sou um fã da marca e já tive outro fone a tempos atrás deles. Infelizmente na pandemia quebrou e fui para outras marcas. Resolvi retornar e não me decepcionei de novo. Ótimos graves, cancelamento absurdo e para mim, que tem orelha rasa e vivo com problema nesse aspecto, um bom acerto nela. Mesmo fazendo atividade física. Apesar do preço recomendo demais o modelo
