## Description

Immersive noise-cancelling earbuds with up to 8.5 hours of battery life, a comfortable fit, and rich, high-quality audio for an exceptional listening experience.

Review: Great earbuds - I was a bit reluctant after reading some of the reviews but I'm really happy with earbuds: really good sound quality and noise cancelling, good fit and a decent battery life. Only thing I've noticed that other people have pointed out is occasionally disconnecting but in that price range I think they are worth it.
Review: Great pair of earbuds! - Never used Bose earbuds before so wasn’t too sure what to expect but very good quality, price is great as well. Earbuds are super easy to set up, they work best if you install the Bose QC app as you can customise your preferred equaliser settings to adjust treble, bass, touch controls and voice commands. The Earbuds connect instantly to your chosen device and are very comfortable to wear for a few hours. The case is slightly chunky and aren’t particularly suited to fitting in my jeans pockets but makes up for it with the long battery life and great active noise cancelling feature, I can barely hear anything outside of my music which is great for my personal downtime.

### ⭐ They were faulty and the replacement had the same issue
*by K***A on 29 March 2025*

Edit: updating to 1 star because they're faulty, there was a crackling noise in the right ear that gradually got worse and worse until one day it started screeching non-stop. I got them replaced and the replacement had the EXACT SAME ISSUE that manifested just a few weeks after I received them. No damage has been done to the replacement, they have not been dropped or exposed to any harmful conditions a single time. Don't waste your money. I'm very conflicted about these. First, the good stuff: the sound quality is very good, the noise cancelling is GREAT - probably the best I've ever had. They're generally very comfortable, except the right one keeps falling out if I move more (e.g. when I do yoga or clean my flat), but I've accepted that my right ear is probably just made wrong - these are not the first earbuds that fall out of it while the left one is ok. The battery life was very good in the beginning, but then I dropped them and it became worse - again, probably my fault. Now, the bad stuff. Every time you put them in, there's a voice notification telling you how much battery is left and if they're connected or not. They can't be turned off and are really annoying. The same happens every time you change the mode, when battery gets low, etc. Also, they're very big and clunky - both the case and the earbuds. The case is much bigger than regular cases and does not comfortably fit into most female pockets (might be a problem with female pockets), and the earbuds protrude from my ears a lot, therefore I used to accidentally switch of the music by touching them, before I got used to their size. The whole structure is quite clunky and seems to be flying out of my hands more often than usual earbuds (again, might be a me problem). The case feels cheap - the lid seems to be made from some thin plastic, and it always feels like if it falls, that lid might break right off. Also, probably the biggest problem I had was that they wouldn't connect to my phone if the battery was even a bit lower than 100%, or if they had spent some time outside of their case without being used. Even the annoying notification voice was gone in these cases, as if the device was completely dead. I had to chat with customer support who told me how to fix it: turns out keeping my finger on their sensors for a few seconds wakes them up. In general, for the price I definitely expected better quality and to at least have full control of what is being spoken into my ear. However, if you're looking for great noise cancelling, I have not yet found anything better.
