To my ears these 3rd Gen Air pods are more comfortable compared to the newer Pro version with the soft gel tips. ruclips.net/user/postUgkxgl8SzyQoymMu-S3V55Dskg5QJ8xr1yCR That said, compared to the 3rd Gen, I notice these do not stay planted in the ear as well. One design issue I think, is you squeeze the stem and click it twice to advance your songs. On 3rd gen you tap the large speaker. The difference is by grabbing the stem each time, you tend to loosen the bud fit in your ear. Not always, but the bud falls out a few times while running. The old tap to change never had that problem for me. I would not have changed that tap function. That said, the newer Pro version sticks in the ear, almost airtight if you want that. I do not like that Airtight fit. So that's why I'd stay with this version as the best trade off of comfort, use, and overall feel.
I love how you always give very honest reviews unlike others who get paid to promote a product. Hope your channel becomes a major success and you keep doing what you do!
What a masterful and brilliant review! Thanks! This is one of those videos where you have to pause and appreciate the way this video was made, let alone the products that are being reviewed.
I recently got the Sport, but still decided to check this comparison out. While I'd love to have Noise Cancellation, I really can't justify it. I'm also not listening to that much music. Also, I'm not really doing the 'sport' part of this either. I listen to audio books around the house. No major activity. I needed to replace my previous bose earbuds because they were lost. For what I needed, I might have gotten better for the price(though I did get the Sport on sale), but I am really pleased with bose. I'm glad I didn't pay the extra for the NC. What I will say is lacking is how long they last (5 hours) and that they don't have the wireless charging. I don't mind the size of the case, but with it, I think they should have the wireless charging for the sport as well as the QC. My previous buds allowed me to channel through my different devices (which I do a lot) and this does not. I can do it via the case, as shown, but previously I could go through them by tapping the bud, which was a better option. Like my previous pair, these are the most comfortable I have. I have had a couple others (that I still use), but they eventually hurt my ears and I always go back to my bose as soon as charged.
I'll add this just in case anybody is worried about the Sports falling out or getting loose during a run...I have SoundFree Sports with the same wing-tipped rubber design, and I have gone on plenty of runs and played plenty of basketball and NEVER HAD ANY ISSUE of them falling out or becoming loose. Great quality in that aspect!
I have the Quiet and the left works by it’s self after you pull the right out. Which I like because talking and working is great. But I love my Beats Pros over the Bose and Air Pods Pros

I agree! Best sound I’ve ever experienced in a wireless earbud. Sadly after about 22 months of ownership, they stopped charging properly or the batteries just failed as after charging to 100% (verified, all troubleshooting complete) they would only last 15 minutes tops. A TERRIBLE experience after paying over $300 after tax for them. Bose will though, discount a replacement, but the two on this review appear to not have the same sound quality as the SoundSport Free models. Sad that I may have to move on from Bose that seems now to be carried on by their name, and not their quality. Simply put, Chinese made crap is exactly that, Chinese made crap regardless the brand name plastered on the box.
That's why I'm here! Do you think the old soundsport frees sound better? That's what I still use and love, just a bit bulky but I prefer sound quality over all
I got both bose qc and the bose sport. Now in the app it comes with a EQ setting and they sound amazing. Both my eq eq setting bose QC and the bose sport have amazing good and deeper bass thanks for the app
Thank you for the in-depth review! What do you recommend for running/working out? What stays in the ear best? (which is my #1 priority over sound quality, design, etc) THANKS!
For me, I’ve found Soundcore’s Liberty Neo to be amazing. Relatively cheap earbuds too! But they stay rock solidly in my ears - don’t move at all (that’s just me though!)
Really appreciate you putting this together as I need to replace my aged Bose SoundSport Pulse and was wondering the real difference between these two earbuds. Decision made, it'll have to be the QC (mainly using for running though), does that sound fair to you?
I think the QC are the better overall earbud - but the Sport are a bit smaller and more suitable for running. I wouldn't say either are great for running because the fit in the ears isn't super secure - but it really depends on each person, and if they fit you perfectly and stay in place then they'll be absolutely fine!
I have both and once I got the right fit I feel fine Re security. I don’t worry about them falling out much, but I mainly walk and hike and when I run it’s interval sprints rather than long distance running. I have an older version of the sport with the rounded case which in some ways I prefer because it’s a bit smaller but overall I like the snap in feature of the quiet comfort case. The biggest issue for me with the quiet comfort is the volume control. It’s pretty annoying with the swipe. Better to use the phone to change volume. Noise cancelling is very important to me due to a hearing issue I have so I rarely use the sports anymore. I just have them as my backup. I also like that there are three noise cancelling options. I use them for podcasts as much as music. I also use them to screen out noise in shopping centres to help avoid triggering vestibular migraines. Re the size. I actually find it a plus that they’re large. The discrete option means that people don’t realise you have earbuds in and get annoyed when they talk to you and don’t realise you haven’t heard them. With the larger size they are more likely to notice. Overall I really like the quiet comfort and am very happy that I bought them. I find them super comfortable and have worn them for hours at a time. So if noise cancelling is important to you I’d highly recommend.
Thanks for the update. Thinking of gettng the QC earbuds for outdoor use. GIven the way it is supposed to be worn/installed, have you ever noticed if it does fall off or if it is stable while wearing a mask? Since the elastic cords can slightly bend your ears or get in the way of the buds, I'm deciding whether I should get this over the Powerbeats Pro. ANC is a bonus but not the primary concern. (And if ever I am getting the Bose, I would opt for the QC vs the Sports Buds for the added value). Appreciate your thoughts. Thanks
It really depends on the mask. I used to wear the surgical-style ones a lot, and I find the elastic is really loose around the ear so doesn't affect wearing earbuds at all. But I have a new fabric mask with tighter straps and it pulls my ears a bit (the earbuds haven't fallen out, but the seal isn't as tight). So it really depends on the mask, but I don't expect it'll make a big difference
One of the better reviews about the two Bose earbuds. However, I saw at least two very recent viewer comments, and it would behoove you to do another review. Bose has just recently release an update for the Bose sport Earbuds. One of the features is an added customizable three band equalizer. Another is the ability to switch devices.
It's impossible to keep up with all of the updates companies put out over time, sadly, certainly in terms of making full videos. I don't think either of these changes drastically change my overall review, so I would only mention that these have been added as you have done!
@@insidetechltd You was doing reasonably well, but you can't still say that there isn't an equalizer for the Bose QC Buds when you are that there is a limited; base, mid and treble control equalizer. I don't know how much difference it will make but the more expensive audio equipment in the past were the less equalizer adjustments there were. In fact, lucky if there was an equalizer.
Sorry, I’m not still saying that there’s no equaliser. I’m just saying that the changes via software update aren’t enough for me to justify making another video review. I don’t have the time, sadly!
Hi dear. Thanks for giving your great review. I have been using Bose Soundsport Free (the predecessor). I just want to clarify If these new Quietcomfort earbud have similar issues that almost every Soundsport Free user faces in daily life. As I live in Middle East, the soundsport free gets frequently disconnected outdoors in sunny environment. Is that the same case with these new quietcomfort? How about Audio phone calls, can we hear them from both earbuds or is it limited to left earbud only like soundsport free? Any Lag issues you have noticed on RUclips with new ones? I would highly appreciate your answer as I'm planning to switch to these new earbuds
Hello! Actually these new earbuds address the issues that the Soundsport Free faced (including connectivity) and I think are now much better! You can also hear the audio from both left and right sides during a call, and there were no lag issues at all even on RUclips!
I always listen at max but that’s cuz I listen to metal and I like everything loud! Idk if you have ever checked out midi’s but they are what I use and I really like them! They even have memory foam tips which cancels out most if not all sounds!
I would have liked a noise cancelling comparison with some over the ear cans. Over all, I find over the ear noise cancelling to be essential for long flights… but find it difficult to wear them for so long… so I would be interested I. The ear buds… but am suspicious of how effective they will be for such a challenging environment
They're okay, and protected against light splashes with an IPX4 rating. But they're quite big and bulky and don't stay very securely in my ears - it depends on each person how well they fit though!
I work in industrial manufacturing and the ANC is an absolute life saver. They work as good as actual ear plugs but the transparency is amazing so you don't have to remove them to hear coworkers speak. A quick charge during lunch and they will last a ten hour shift.
That's exactly why I purchased these. Just came in the mail today. I work in manufacturing as well and the last two pairs had horrible calling for the person on the other line. We'll see today if they work as advertised.
The case size never bothers me as I feel that comes down to what pants one wears normally I rock cargo shorts and have more than enough room for the qc buds case in my pocket and my note 9 but yea if I had ball tight skinny jeans it would be a tight fit but eh case size never bugs me I found for travel the qc buds are the best bet but its a shame most ife can't connect to buds yet
I appreciate how much hard work you put into this video to give us a detailed, well put together review for us. Subscribed! Do you think you'll do a review on a Marshall earbuds? Like the Motif, Minor 3's, or Mode 2's?
1 year and a half with my quiet comforts and initially feared they would not warrant the price. Best noise cancelling, weather resistant, sounding AND most importantly best phone call headphones I've used. Some things are worth the money. I've played 🏀 basketball games with them on and they seldomly fall out only if I get really worked up. I've E scootered in them over 10kms+distances. They're great for public transport just cancelling the noise without any music on.
Hey bro, i just bought them tofay and they literally just fall out of my ear from doing nothing, any advice? 😭 ive just the 3 sizes but its just not right. Im using it more now and its getting bettet but i just dont trust it staying in my ear
Great Video! Spot on, I had both... returned the QC's due to sheer size, the comfort was not there for me. ANC was not a priority. The Sport Earbuds were not that great, so I found a happy medium in the Jabra 85t's and got them for $179 - so not too bad! The EQ on the Jabra's really does help
@@ricardoortiz5609 No, not in my opinion. As the EQ makes a difference in Jabra Sound+ app. So the Jabra Elite 7 Pro and Active sound better, but the ANC is not as good as the Bose QC.
I had the Qc earphones and still having them, they are amazing and so conformable. However, when I got the bose earbuds QC I thought it's gonna be the same but it was tougher rubber and harder and the shape inside the rubber is bigger, because I tried to change the rubber to the one that comes with the earphones but didn't work. If Bose company could make it the same as the earphones QC but with better microphone it would be amazing. Otherwise i don't recommend it although I am a customer and fan of bose.
great review. what about the battery replacement wwhen it inevitably dies? I have bought three wireless headsets, all are great for the first ten charges, then the battery life falls off a cliff. no replacement
great review but i’d suggest you do some activities with them on! i’ve the sport and the rubber tips are the only in ear that stay in my ear, just had an hour gym workout playing basketball and they didn’t fall out once while maintaining clear output throughout 👌
I have - I did a lot of different workouts with these and this is just my experience with them. Everyone's ears are different so even though they fit really well for one person, they might not for another
@@insidetechltd sweet. i thought you said you didn’t run with them in the video. everyone’s ears are totally different eg these are the only ones that don’t fall out because of the winged tips !
I own the Bose QC, and they have have device switching capabilities and customizable EQ, plus more custom noise cancelling modes and options than listed here. Time for an update?
If I get time, then sure! This is just what happens sometimes when companies don't have all the features ready by the time reviewers get their hands on them (and I didn't exactly review these when they first came out)
Honestly, it really varies person to person. I didn't feel fully confident when using them for running - the impact of my feet hitting the ground kept shaking the earbuds and I felt like they might eventually fall out. But some people may find the fit is more secure depending on their ear shape
I was between Jaybird Vista 2 and Bose Sports Earbuds; But eventually I went for Bose because many other reviews say Bose has the best sound quality and the most comfortable sports earbud. I also read some negative comments about the connectivity issues of Jaybird on its own website... Did I make the right decision? I can still return Bose and get Jaybirds for exactly same price...
You can’t answer that until you try them and see if you’re happy with them. They’re only worth considering a return if you try them and don’t like them. If you’re happy…why return them?
I don't personally see why not, and Bose says to just use a power supply that meets local regulation requirements (though they'd also say to use the original cable). But I think it would be fine
I own the qc and I work in a very noisy environment. These things work great for cancelling out piercing high pitch sounds. I got them on discount of $199. For me it's worth the price to save my ears.
@@RUclipsitisin the first model were much more reliable. I have since updated to the qc2 and the noise cancelling doesn't work the first time I put them in my ears. I have to take them out, wait for a second and then put them back. I have already traded one pair of qc2 in and gotten another one because of the left bud not connecting.
So i bought the bose sport cause i use it for biking and mowing the lawn. Save your money cause these sport buds are great. When you have your ear canal plugged sound doesn't really penetrate to your ear drum.
Great review It’s really REALLY sad that at this price their design team did a terrible job at realising and working on the case - they’re taking up valuable real estate in the pocket, and still not offering much extra battery life. And can’t use the left early when listening to only one earbud? Man that’s pathetic honestly; and mic only in the right one. I am really saddened to hear this about these. Really saddened.
I had jaybird vista 2 which are considered really good sport earbuds, but I have weird ears and they constatly felt unfcomfortable and fell out. I tried the bose sport earbuds and they fit perfectly, i can run without any problems. So for me, even tho there are better allround earbuds, the bose sport were perfect for my ears, which was by far my most important metric. (I tried Jaybird vista 2 and Jabra elite active before them) So basically, if you have a problem with fit and only need sport earbuds, I would seriously consider the bose sports.
Hi, i have a question. Can you tell me which earbuds on the market are the best. I want to use them for daily needs and also for sport. I'm searching for long battery life, noise cancelling, good sound and bass
Ask me again at the end of the month! I have a massive earbuds comparison video coming up comparing all of the best true wireless earbuds on the market. Working on it now!
They have a slightly different shape so they feel different in the ears - you might find the Sport model are more comfortable for your particular ears!
I wouldn't really want to make a recommendation for someone to use these whilst working in a potentially dangerous profession! But if you're wearing just one, then I don't think it really matters - you'll just want the one that fits you best! So i'd be leaning towards the Bose Sport personally, but every person is different!
Sport are definitely better for running. Occlusion is very similar, but obviously the QC earbuds have ANC so block out much more noise with it turned on
hai am too contemplating due to the comments i saw saying abt the problems abt latency n noise n some stopped working for them n msde them to get another pair…am contemplating on these buds n airpods pro…. but rlly want to cope the bose but i havent figured which one i shud pick either the sports or the normal ones…
Bought the Bose Quiet Comfort. Sound and comfort were great. Phone calls were good on my end but unacceptable on the callers side. Background noise was terrible. In a quiet atmosphere calls were great but road noise in a vehicle is horrible.
I can confirm your observation! Had the same experience plus had noticeable white noise. Then I bought the "Bose Sport" and they were OK for calls, not great but OK.
Are the quiet comfort like Terrible for jogging??? Also which one is louder??? Bose always had the problem that the volume had to be raised even louder on iPhone. Th QC are on sale and just wondering if I can skip the Sports and will be fine with QC or if they will fall off jogging. They seem heavier.
They’re ok. It really depends on your ears. The larger wingtips keep the sport secure enough for jogging for me, but I think for some people they might move or even fall out because they’re are quite bulky. The sport definitely fit more securely though and I’d trust them much more than the QC for jogging. The sport earbuds are a bit quieter overall and both are still a bit quiet relative to most other earbuds
Loved it. The only reason for me to lean towards them is wingtip design as I hate that feeling of earbuds inside my ear canal. It itches and make it really uncomfortable to use them. Any suggestions for sports earphones wireless or wired without in-canal design?
Is the earbud making contact with the charging pins when you put it back in the case? Maybe check this. You could try resetting the earbuds, remove the pairing from your phone and setting it all up again. Sometimes this fixes issues like that!
I bought Bose sport earbuds and for me this is great purchase. I tried a lot of headphones 🎧, but Bose fit me better than others. It has the highest quality fit. I noticed that the sound does not have a lot of detail, but the sound is quite energetic with a predominance of medium frequencies. The tops are also not bad, the basses are noticeable, though not tight. But the sound is lively, with a good transfer of the main nuances of the piece. Compared to Bowers and Wilkins PI5. Of course BW have great sound detail, but they also have a low-frequency halo. Their vocals are lost among the instruments. And one more thing - my ears hurt from them - the Bose silicone nozzle is much more convenient.
These are so large for my taste,I prefer J lab..s all of them,they lasting about 4 or more hours also they have a bass and 3 musical effects...very good quality, I even drop them few times,they didn't get broke,still working very good...also they are very cheap about 25 to 50 euros...
I both Bose Sport I have tested many similar products and used in the past Samsung Earbuds , Jabra 31 and 45, Sony Earbuds and while reading the reviews here is my own : Quality and ergonomy for wearer good, no simultaneous coupling with other devices as Chinese equivalent , Bose earbuds no matter type are overpriced main advantage over other products only ergonomy
I have lost the charging base for the sport ones but still have the buds. Will I be able to use the charging case of quiet comfort with the buds of the sport ones ?
@@insidetechltd if you still have both of them can you try and see if they charge when you swap. Since the sport ones are smaller and might fit the quiet comfort ones. Please
No, not at all :) I’d highly recommend you use it at least once to make sure you’re running the latest software (could include bug fixes). But after that you don’t need to use it
I just picked these up as I had a lot of reward points with Best Buy, I only paid 59.00 US (Yeah, I had over 200.00 in rewards) I was planning on buying them at full price, so this was not the reason I bought them. I have the QC 30 over the ear from Bose, but when we fly, my wife usually ends up with them. So, on to my question: Have you looked them over recently? Apparently the app now has EQ settings. I am wondering if this changes your review at all as I understand that was something you and many others found lacking. The ANC is just as good as you mention, so I am very happy with that. I believe that even at full price I wouldn't be dissapointed, but they are pretty spendy. What do you think a fairer price would be? Maube closer to 225, or even 200 USD? Great review and I am happy to have stumbled uopn your channel!
It doesn't drastically change the review, but i'm definitely pleased that they've added the EQ! In terms of being a fair price, it really depends on what you're after. If you specifically want the best noise cancelling earbuds out there...it's worth the price! I think $220 would have been a more realistic launch price though 👍🏼
The work that has gone into this video is seriously impressive.
Thank you very much! 🙌🏼
Very impressive smartest review. Please keep go on!
To my ears these 3rd Gen Air pods are more comfortable compared to the newer Pro version with the soft gel tips. ruclips.net/user/postUgkxgl8SzyQoymMu-S3V55Dskg5QJ8xr1yCR That said, compared to the 3rd Gen, I notice these do not stay planted in the ear as well.

Thanks for watching!
How are these compared to the soundsport cable? I own the cabled soundsports but they are slowly breaking
I miss the cable. I hate theses sport
The one thing I liked the most was the nice audio in the Bose Soundsport Free, and they had really good bass.
I agree! Best sound I’ve ever experienced in a wireless earbud. Sadly after about 22 months of ownership, they stopped charging properly or the batteries just failed as after charging to 100% (verified, all troubleshooting complete) they would only last 15 minutes tops.

It's impossible to keep up with all of the updates companies put out over time, sadly, certainly in terms of making full videos. I don't think either of these changes drastically change my overall review, so I would only mention that these have been added as you have done!
I was going to mention that in my reply.
@@insidetechltd You was doing reasonably well, but you can't still say that there isn't an equalizer for the Bose QC Buds when you are that there is a limited; base, mid and treble control equalizer.
I don't know how much difference it will make but the more expensive audio equipment in the past were the less equalizer adjustments there were.
In fact, lucky if there was an equalizer.
Sorry, I’m not still saying that there’s no equaliser. I’m just saying that the changes via software update aren’t enough for me to justify making another video review. I don’t have the time, sadly!
What would you suggest instead of the Quiet Comfort that offers everything the QC does but at a better price point?
Hi dear. Thanks for giving your great review. I have been using Bose Soundsport Free (the predecessor). I just want to clarify If these new Quietcomfort earbud have similar issues that almost every Soundsport Free user faces in daily life. As I live in Middle East, the soundsport free gets frequently disconnected outdoors in sunny environment. Is that the same case with these new quietcomfort? How about Audio phone calls, can we hear them from both earbuds or is it limited to left earbud only like soundsport free? Any Lag issues you have noticed on RUclips with new ones?
I would highly appreciate your answer as I'm planning to switch to these new earbuds
Hello!
Actually these new earbuds address the issues that the Soundsport Free faced (including connectivity) and I think are now much better! You can also hear the audio from both left and right sides during a call, and there were no lag issues at all even on RUclips!
@@insidetechltd Thanks for your valuable time and reply. I have purchased already these new Quietcomfort and they are mindblowing..
Great review!!
Thank you!
I always listen at max but that’s cuz I listen to metal and I like everything loud! Idk if you have ever checked out midi’s but they are what I use and I really like them! They even have memory foam tips which cancels out most if not all sounds!
Deserve more views. Good job
Appreciate it, thank you 👊🏼
I had 4 pair of earbuds its pretty fun to play with over and over again 🙃
I would have liked a noise cancelling comparison with some over the ear cans. Over all, I find over the ear noise cancelling to be essential for long flights… but find it difficult to wear them for so long… so I would be interested I. The ear buds… but am suspicious of how effective they will be for such a challenging environment
Does Bose quietcomfort earbuds are good for workout?
Thank you for great video!
They're okay, and protected against light splashes with an IPX4 rating. But they're quite big and bulky and don't stay very securely in my ears - it depends on each person how well they fit though!
I work in industrial manufacturing and the ANC is an absolute life saver. They work as good as actual ear plugs but the transparency is amazing so you don't have to remove them to hear coworkers speak. A quick charge during lunch and they will last a ten hour shift.
Ah nice!
That's exactly why I purchased these. Just came in the mail today. I work in manufacturing as well and the last two pairs had horrible calling for the person on the other line. We'll see today if they work as advertised.
I work in a military boot manufacturing plant and I’m hoping that these help me out when they arrive :)
Are Bose QC reliable? any hardware issue such as left bud stopped working etc? Thanks.
Any final experience with ANC? :)
The case size never bothers me as I feel that comes down to what pants one wears normally I rock cargo shorts and have more than enough room for the qc buds case in my pocket and my note 9 but yea if I had ball tight skinny jeans it would be a tight fit but eh case size never bugs me I found for travel the qc buds are the best bet but its a shame most ife can't connect to buds yet
I appreciate how much hard work you put into this video to give us a detailed, well put together review for us. Subscribed! Do you think you'll do a review on a Marshall earbuds? Like the Motif, Minor 3's, or Mode 2's?
Thank you very much! No plans to review Marshall earbuds yet, but if enough people want it then of course i'll do it!
Thank you for this review. I would also benefit from a review of Marshall minor 2 vs 3, etc
Very thorough!
Thank you 👌🏼
Which airbuds would you suggest for the pinicle of sound quality ?
I'm not really interested in do dads and buttons etc. Just great sound and quality.
1 year and a half with my quiet comforts and initially feared they would not warrant the price. Best noise cancelling, weather resistant, sounding AND most importantly best phone call headphones I've used. Some things are worth the money. I've played 🏀 basketball games with them on and they seldomly fall out only if I get really worked up. I've E scootered in them over 10kms+distances. They're great for public transport just cancelling the noise without any music on.
Ah that's great to hear! Glad you're enjoying them 😄
Hey bro, i just bought them tofay and they literally just fall out of my ear from doing nothing, any advice? 😭 ive just the 3 sizes but its just not right. Im using it more now and its getting bettet but i just dont trust it staying in my ear
@@insidetechltd I have lost the case for my sport buds. Would you say I would be able to use the charging case of quiet comfort for the sport buds ??
@@p.atrickclarke same here, find anything that works? Most times I have to wear a headband to hold them in
@@p.atrickclarke get a new pair of ears, these fit fine in my ears.
Seriously. I never subscribe. I just did. Unbelievable quality of service and depth of knowledge. Amazing. Thanks..
That’s so nice to hear, thank you 👊🏼
Bose updated the firmware so now there is a custom EQ and the QC went on sale for $199 US dollars, but now they are back to $279
Great Video! Spot on, I had both... returned the QC's due to sheer size, the comfort was not there for me. ANC was not a priority. The Sport Earbuds were not that great, so I found a happy medium in the Jabra 85t's and got them for $179 - so not too bad! The EQ on the Jabra's really does help
Thank you!
Yeah I love Jabra's 85ts - still think they're the best all-rounders right now!
What does it mean EQ?
@@mairambekeldiiarov Equalizer
Any of this Bose earbuds have a better sound quality then jabra 7 elite?
@@ricardoortiz5609 No, not in my opinion. As the EQ makes a difference in Jabra Sound+ app. So the Jabra Elite 7 Pro and Active sound better, but the ANC is not as good as the Bose QC.
I had the Qc earphones and still having them, they are amazing and so conformable. However, when I got the bose earbuds QC I thought it's gonna be the same but it was tougher rubber and harder and the shape inside the rubber is bigger, because I tried to change the rubber to the one that comes with the earphones but didn't work. If Bose company could make it the same as the earphones QC but with better microphone it would be amazing. Otherwise i don't recommend it although I am a customer and fan of bose.
great review. what about the battery replacement wwhen it inevitably dies? I have bought three wireless headsets, all are great for the first ten charges, then the battery life falls off a cliff. no replacement
Thank you! Unfortunately you've got to buy new ones. That's the sad state of this industry right now - terrible for the environment too
i just wana know if theyre better than the samsung buds +
great review but i’d suggest you do some activities with them on! i’ve the sport and the rubber tips are the only in ear that stay in my ear, just had an hour gym workout playing basketball and they didn’t fall out once while maintaining clear output throughout 👌
I have - I did a lot of different workouts with these and this is just my experience with them. Everyone's ears are different so even though they fit really well for one person, they might not for another
@@insidetechltd sweet. i thought you said you didn’t run with them in the video. everyone’s ears are totally different eg these are the only ones that don’t fall out because of the winged tips !
I own the Bose QC, and they have have device switching capabilities and customizable EQ, plus more custom noise cancelling modes and options than listed here. Time for an update?
If I get time, then sure! This is just what happens sometimes when companies don't have all the features ready by the time reviewers get their hands on them (and I didn't exactly review these when they first came out)
Hey, do you think the bose qc will stay in well for running?
Honestly, it really varies person to person. I didn't feel fully confident when using them for running - the impact of my feet hitting the ground kept shaking the earbuds and I felt like they might eventually fall out. But some people may find the fit is more secure depending on their ear shape
ilove the sound clarity of Bose ❣️
I was between Jaybird Vista 2 and Bose Sports Earbuds; But eventually I went for Bose because many other reviews say Bose has the best sound quality and the most comfortable sports earbud. I also read some negative comments about the connectivity issues of Jaybird on its own website... Did I make the right decision? I can still return Bose and get Jaybirds for exactly same price...
You can’t answer that until you try them and see if you’re happy with them. They’re only worth considering a return if you try them and don’t like them. If you’re happy…why return them?
hey, do you know if it would be safe to charge the bose quietcomfort earbuds case with a huawei super charger and cable meant for phones?
I don't personally see why not, and Bose says to just use a power supply that meets local regulation requirements (though they'd also say to use the original cable). But I think it would be fine
Update: Now the QC Earbuds has a custom eq
I own the qc and I work in a very noisy environment. These things work great for cancelling out piercing high pitch sounds. I got them on discount of $199. For me it's worth the price to save my ears.
From where you bought may be i missed the offer ended up paying 279 USD
@@niranjanreddy6693 it was at best buy
Are Bose QC reliable? any hardware issue such as left bud stopped working etc? Thanks.
@@RUclipsitisin the first model were much more reliable. I have since updated to the qc2 and the noise cancelling doesn't work the first time I put them in my ears. I have to take them out, wait for a second and then put them back.
I have already traded one pair of qc2 in and gotten another one because of the left bud not connecting.
So i bought the bose sport cause i use it for biking and mowing the lawn. Save your money cause these sport buds are great. When you have your ear canal plugged sound doesn't really penetrate to your ear drum.
Your video makes me wanna quickly go to the retail store to grab one now.
Do it!
@@insidetechltd donev😍
Great review
It’s really REALLY sad that at this price their design team did a terrible job at realising and working on the case - they’re taking up valuable real estate in the pocket, and still not offering much extra battery life. And can’t use the left early when listening to only one earbud? Man that’s pathetic honestly; and mic only in the right one. I am really saddened to hear this about these. Really saddened.
I'm sure they'll learn from this with the next gen products!
I had jaybird vista 2 which are considered really good sport earbuds, but I have weird ears and they constatly felt unfcomfortable and fell out. I tried the bose sport earbuds and they fit perfectly, i can run without any problems. So for me, even tho there are better allround earbuds, the bose sport were perfect for my ears, which was by far my most important metric. (I tried Jaybird vista 2 and Jabra elite active before them)
So basically, if you have a problem with fit and only need sport earbuds, I would seriously consider the bose sports.
Well said. The 'best' earbuds are the ones that are best 'for you'. Glad you found a pair that work well!
thank you vert much!
I use my sport earbuds on the driving range and they work perfect for me, the power beats pro kept cutting out on me everyime I would swing a club,
Nice 👍🏼
Just a queation, i would like to buy a pair for mountain biking which one of the two would you suggest?
Sport - more secure fit
Hi, i have a question. Can you tell me which earbuds on the market are the best. I want to use them for daily needs and also for sport. I'm searching for long battery life, noise cancelling, good sound and bass
Ask me again at the end of the month! I have a massive earbuds comparison video coming up comparing all of the best true wireless earbuds on the market. Working on it now!
Have you done a comparison between bose QC and AirPods Pro?
Not a direct comparison, no. I've done a full AirPods Pro video though, and can answer any specific questions you have too!
Are the ear tips exactly the same? I have the QC but I find them uncomfortable after a while even using the smallest size.
They have a slightly different shape so they feel different in the ears - you might find the Sport model are more comfortable for your particular ears!
Beautiful
First comment 😏
What do u think would be best out of these for a construction worker who mainly only wears on and a lot of talking on the phone
I wouldn't really want to make a recommendation for someone to use these whilst working in a potentially dangerous profession! But if you're wearing just one, then I don't think it really matters - you'll just want the one that fits you best! So i'd be leaning towards the Bose Sport personally, but every person is different!
How do both of these compare to the 1more True ANC earbubs?
Not sure, not tested them yet. Sorry!
Thank you
What earbuds do you recommend?
Out of these two? QuietComfort
I hope Bose updates the QC earbuds to allow using the left one only.
This is normally down to the chipset used in the earbuds (and therefore can't be changed via a software update) but hopefully! 🤞🏼
The only thing holding me from getting the QC Earbuds are the multi connection to two devices at the same time!
I can understand that 😕
@@insidetechltd but your review is awesome 👏 😊
Then Jabra 85t might be suitable for you 😄
They added the custom EQ!
which is better for jogging and running and how does the occlusion compare
Sport are definitely better for running. Occlusion is very similar, but obviously the QC earbuds have ANC so block out much more noise with it turned on
Hi bro. I have iPhone. Which one I choose? Sport & QC.
hai am too contemplating due to the comments i saw saying abt the problems abt latency n noise n some stopped working for them n msde them to get another pair…am contemplating on these buds n airpods pro…. but rlly want to cope the bose but i havent figured which one i shud pick either the sports or the normal ones…
Bought the Bose Quiet Comfort. Sound and comfort were great. Phone calls were good on my end but unacceptable on the callers side. Background noise was terrible. In a quiet atmosphere calls were great but road noise in a vehicle is horrible.
I can confirm your observation! Had the same experience plus had noticeable white noise. Then I bought the "Bose Sport" and they were OK for calls, not great but OK.
The "SoundCore Liberty 2 Pro" really sound amazing for a price at 60 € (lowest price in sale, normally 120 € 🇩🇪)
And?
Are the quiet comfort like Terrible for jogging??? Also which one is louder??? Bose always had the problem that the volume had to be raised even louder on iPhone. Th QC are on sale and just wondering if I can skip the Sports and will be fine with QC or if they will fall off jogging. They seem heavier.
They’re ok. It really depends on your ears. The larger wingtips keep the sport secure enough for jogging for me, but I think for some people they might move or even fall out because they’re are quite bulky. The sport definitely fit more securely though and I’d trust them much more than the QC for jogging.
The sport earbuds are a bit quieter overall and both are still a bit quiet relative to most other earbuds
Loved it. The only reason for me to lean towards them is wingtip design as I hate that feeling of earbuds inside my ear canal. It itches and make it really uncomfortable to use them.
Any suggestions for sports earphones wireless or wired without in-canal design?
These aren't going directly in the ear canal, they stay outside
Bone conductive "ear" phones that go behind the ear, not in it...
I have the sport and everytime I connect it the right one doesn’t work just the left any help?
Is the earbud making contact with the charging pins when you put it back in the case? Maybe check this. You could try resetting the earbuds, remove the pairing from your phone and setting it all up again. Sometimes this fixes issues like that!
today is prime day and amazon has the QCs on sale for $100 off. would this be a good value today?
Yes I think so!
I bought Bose sport earbuds and for me this is great purchase. I tried a lot of headphones 🎧, but Bose fit me better than others. It has the highest quality fit. I noticed that the sound does not have a lot of detail, but the sound is quite energetic with a predominance of medium frequencies. The tops are also not bad, the basses are noticeable, though not tight. But the sound is lively, with a good transfer of the main nuances of the piece. Compared to Bowers and Wilkins PI5. Of course BW have great sound detail, but they also have a low-frequency halo. Their vocals are lost among the instruments. And one more thing - my ears hurt from them - the Bose silicone nozzle is much more convenient.
Agreed, the comfort is great on the QC earbuds 👌🏼
These are so large for my taste,I prefer J lab..s all of them,they lasting about 4 or more hours also they have a bass and 3 musical effects...very good quality, I even drop them few times,they didn't get broke,still working very good...also they are very cheap about 25 to 50 euros...
I both Bose Sport I have tested many similar products and used in the past
Samsung Earbuds , Jabra 31 and 45, Sony Earbuds and while reading the reviews
here is my own : Quality and ergonomy for wearer good, no simultaneous coupling
with other devices as Chinese equivalent , Bose earbuds no matter type are overpriced
main advantage over other products only ergonomy
Just purchased Bose Quiet Comfort Earbuds
I have lost the charging base for the sport ones but still have the buds. Will I be able to use the charging case of quiet comfort with the buds of the sport ones ?
No, the cases and earbuds are different sizes
@@insidetechltd if you still have both of them can you try and see if they charge when you swap. Since the sport ones are smaller and might fit the quiet comfort ones. Please
How is the latency performance of QC earbuds?
Excellent (almost none)
Do I really need to download the Bose music app? Is it really necessary in order to use the earbuds?
No, not at all :) I’d highly recommend you use it at least once to make sure you’re running the latest software (could include bug fixes). But after that you don’t need to use it
I just picked these up as I had a lot of reward points with Best Buy, I only paid 59.00 US (Yeah, I had over 200.00 in rewards) I was planning on buying them at full price, so this was not the reason I bought them. I have the QC 30 over the ear from Bose, but when we fly, my wife usually ends up with them. So, on to my question: Have you looked them over recently? Apparently the app now has EQ settings. I am wondering if this changes your review at all as I understand that was something you and many others found lacking. The ANC is just as good as you mention, so I am very happy with that. I believe that even at full price I wouldn't be dissapointed, but they are pretty spendy. What do you think a fairer price would be? Maube closer to 225, or even 200 USD? Great review and I am happy to have stumbled uopn your channel!
It doesn't drastically change the review, but i'm definitely pleased that they've added the EQ! In terms of being a fair price, it really depends on what you're after. If you specifically want the best noise cancelling earbuds out there...it's worth the price! I think $220 would have been a more realistic launch price though 👍🏼
Bose quietcomfort is on sale for $199.99 and sports for $149.99, which would u buy??
