The earbuds offer best-in-class active noise cancellation and incredible sound quality, plus long battery life too.
TheBoseQuietComfort Earbuds (2024) are a fantastic pair of noise-canceling earbuds that dont break the bank.
Youre getting best-in-class sound quality and ANC all for just $179.
The QuietComfort Earbuds are easily some of thebest noise-canceling earbudsout there.
Not only that, but theyre extremely comfortable to wear and they look minimalist and premium.
And the long battery life is just the cherry on top of the cake.
But they arent perfect, and lack in a couple of areas.
For example, theres no aptX or lossless, and the case is a little flimsy.
For all the details, read my full Bose QuietComfort Earbuds (2024) review.
Boses offering occupies a unique place in the market where most of its competitors, likeSonyandJBL, are pricier.
But are they better?
I stuck with the default options and was very comfortable for eight hours straight.
That Comfort moniker is no lie.
This is disappointing as youre still paying $179 which isnt a small amount.
Its a letdown to see such a cheap-feeling case from Bose.
I tested the Chilled Lilac colorway which looks stunning.
The earbuds have a matte finish too which gives them a premium edge over the glossy competition from Apple.
you might wear them to the gym though as theyre sweatproof.
I wore them when it was raining and the earbuds were fine.
Pressing either earbuds pauses/resumes playback, while pressing twice jumps tracks.
You name it and the app does it.
One of my gripes with these earbuds though is just how sensitive the voice commands are.
This did not happen in quiet environments though, like my home or the office.
I ended up disabling voice control altogether because of how frustrating it was.
I was using the OnePlus Buds Pro 3 before, and I dont want to go back.
I played a variety of genres and Im pleased to report that they all soundedphenomenal.
The earbuds are equipped with 10mm dynamic drivers which offer an outstanding listening experience.
Mikas high notes in Grace Kelly sound controlled and never like theyre piercing your ears.
The scratching of the turntable in the background is clear too and something you may not notice otherwise.
Meanwhile, Lana Del Reys vocals in A&W sound soothing and almost like a lullaby.
It works exceptionally well on the QuietComfort Earbuds too.
In all three tracks, it never felt like the bass was overpowering the vocals or the other instruments.
There was no audio bleeding either top-notch all around.
Loud action sounds from the TV were effectively blocked as well.
The ANC feels superior compared to the OnePlus Buds Pro 3s which Ive often found a little lacking.
Its actually better than the pricier QuietComfort Ultras battery life which is a measly six hours.
If youre looking for outstanding sound quality and effective ANC, you wont go wrong with these.
The Quiet and Aware modes work very well and the earbuds drown out most sounds.
Overall, though, testing the QuietComfort Earbuds has been one of the best things Ive done this week.
It might be a while until another pair comes along and replaces them.
