Would you recommend the sehnheisers over the Bose ? I think the Bose lack in features .but will the sennheiser stay in my ears or fall out like with the Sony? What do you recommend ?
Obviously, the Bose seem to be the most versatile with the most quality sound across a variety of conditions and environments. Good review! Always fun learning new things from the younger generation (I'm 68). Looks like I made the right decision buying the Bose for use with my Galaxy Note 20 Ultra. Keep up the good work.
after watching so many reviews of earbuds, I have to say that I like yours most! All the tests are based on our daily behaviours!! Good job, Mike. I pick Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 2
Trying to switch devices with these earbuds was the reason I returned them. It was atrocious trying to switch between my phone and my laptop while at work.
@@SugarLandFishingBros I don't know why bose did a step back because the previous version which is the Bose Soundsport Free they're really good and seamless switching between multiple devices (with just one click) and only take 1 second
@@picoproclan And til 2 weeks before the release, those features were still mentioned in the manual on their page. SO it lookslike it will most surely be a soft update in the coming months, because it was clearly planned, and seen the current demand for it, they will do it.
True facts! But I have a way around the lack of volume. Get an EQ. It will help. It helped me. What you cannot do is skip back a track. That is an absolute mistake by Bose. I doubt in the history of earphones and earbuds that this has ever been an issue. I can only assume they’ll get it right with their next earbuds edition. Initially, I am happy with mines but I don’t let that mistake by Bose get to me!
@@mr.croissant7960 Yeah, it really was. But I'm saying this in the context of a goal. I'm not saying Mike is there already. Also, despite the Asian connection, I actually didn't think about it. I was primarily thinking about how Mike's production has grown and thought it would be a worthwhile endeavour.
@@mr.croissant7960 I think it's a bit easy to take the Asian angle. I actually thing they have some things in common in the way they are making content. Jim's video's looked great, but his typical consumer oriented take instead of trying to take an audiophile take and also trying to see for whom a product would have a certain value is something they have in common.
Awesome test. My Bose headset series 2 broke after 7 years of use. Now I ordered the Bose earbuds quietcomfort an should be more than satisfied. ;) Thanks
Actually, they are not independently. They use the master/slave type of connection, where the right earbud is the master. U can only use just the left earbud putting the right in the case, if u left the lid of the case open. Otherwise, the connection will stop. Besides that, this is the best review about this earbuds so far. The first that I see that talk about the hot swappable problem.
OMG..you absolutely killed the explanation of the sound and comfort. Bose is the best sounding earphones I have ever tried and you know personally I've tried a lot. I will tell you that Bose is better as t noise cancelling for the simple fact that the Sony's don't block out noise on phone calls. The Bose phone quality literally made it seem like you were talking in a empty room
In terms of phone quality, although QC earbuds did block most of the background noise, it is hard to hear the voice of the user clearly unless the user speak out loud enough.
With the noise canceling favourite settings if you dont want a middle you set that to or the 10 or the 0. Then when youre toggeling the app understands you dont want it and skipps it so you can go 10 - 0 - 10. I wanted the same on my 700's with the same app
Mike!!! You’re back?!!!! The king of buds is back. Thanks for doing this review :) glad that’ someone did a proper job reviewing these earbuds. Thanks so much man!!! Appreciate everything you do.
I have them and love them . The noise cancellation is better than my QC 35 iis which I didn’t expect. They are very comfortable but I wish they and the case were smaller . Hope they improve on that !
I have the Bose Soundsport Free earbuds. Switching devices is a breeze. Just press the button on top of the left ear bud and it cycles through all your paired Bluetooth devices.
Damn, that was a good, fair review! I heard some new things that other reviewers didnt mention, like: the (lack of) buttons on the earbuds (what was actually eye-opening). Also the fitting when you wear a hoody was refreshing and funny. Obviously you are independent and give a nice conclusion: "Yes, you would go fot Bose, but they really need to fix some points", but also "you don't need to switch if you already have Sony or Sennheiser 'If it ain't broke, don't replace it." Very honest and high-quality review. Thanks!
Looks like Bose nailed the hardware. Now they just need to update the software and touch controls. Hoping for added up/ down volume control and skip songs. Equalizer in the app would be great too.

Just bought the Sennheiser M2's to test against the Bose QC beings several said Senn's sounded better. At best its a suttle difference. If your a bass head you'll need an EQ (BOOM or Spotify) for Bose to get same/equal (maybe better sometimes) bass as Senn. Otherwise it comes down to touch controls (Senn) and Bose QC (ANC) they both could do better connecting to more than one device. The sound quality is close depending on song and EQ settings. So far Mike's review is the only one for what I had to find out myself. I had some connectivity issues with Senn too. New AC/DC is way better on Bose.
I have Bose and jabra, I wish Bose would make some the size of jabra. They are small ear buds and very discrete, people can’t tell I have head phones on sometimes, they don’t fall out either.
Thanks! I would be really interested in a comparison between the Bose QC Earbuds, the Sennheiser Momentum 2 and the new Jabra Elite 85t. May you do it ? I really want to know your opinions...
You can control the volume on the Bose. Mine has the volume control on the right bud. You can switch phone easily. Also you can play one bud at a time.
Since I first commented on this, I was given a pair of Bose Earbuds c. 8 months ago and have to say, the ANC is without equal. The software to manage them is slowly improving but still lacks specific EQ control. I suspect this will come in time as Bose work out what they want to do. They don’t strike me as an organisation that moves fast unless they feel they’ve ‘got it right’ or unless they feel they’re losing market share (which they were). I’d also like to see the ability to switch seamlessly between iPhone and iPad without ‘disconnecting’ from one to reconnect to the other. Maybe they’ve been distracted by the rollout of the new QC45s (I’m still happy with my QC25s!).
If you like 2 mushrooms sticking out of your ears, get these!...Jabra 75t Active are my go to! But surprisingly, EarFun Free Pro surprised the hell out of me!
How’s the sound on those 75t ? Noise cancelling decent in noisy environment? Bass deep without losing the mids..? I want to get them as a 2nd pair of ANC over the 85 version as they are cheap now seeing as the 85 is supposed to be the updated but larger earbuds...But still not as large as the Senns, Bose nor Sonys!
Touch controls reeeally sucks. I agree with the reviewer. Why only skip fwd songs? Why being forced to rotate through 3 ANC settings? Why not hot swapping? And yes, now you can change the sound level through your right earbud but it is a bit gimmick, it does not work really well for me (it's difficult to make minute changes, easier to increase-decrease volume by a lot by mistake). It's a shame, it would have been a perfect product otherwise. Hope Bose will fix this in the future.
It's been difficult but I've been holding out until the bose headphones and earbuds get updated to bluetooth 5.2 for that LC3 codec and increased battery life
Nice video, but I didn't see any comparison with 1More ANC with THX update. Was really looking forward to see how they stack up as I just got them recently...
The Sony XM4 earbuds do NOT have multipoint connections. But perhaps what you are referring to is the ability to automatically switch to a phone call when you are listening to your laptop. Great review, I own the Bose QC earbuds. You are right, the lack of multipoint connection is irritating.
quick note, i also have these and no matter what i do, they won't fall out, so it's fair to say that how secure they fit in your ears is depended on you ear shape
Great review. Very informative. I have the Sony WF-1000XM3 and the WH-1000XM3. The problem for the WF is that my ears have discomfort after using the WF longer than 30-45 mins as they sit deep in the ear canal. I'd like to get the Bose but dang...they're a little bigger than the WF.
I have the sony and just to airpod pro. The way the airpods feel like you aren't wearing headphones is amazing. No pressure feeling or pain and they don't fall out every 2 minutes like the sony wf.
Thanks for being a reviewer that uses multiple devices! You covered exactly what I needed to know. Multiple devices and left and right independent usage. I'm going to check out if you have a galaxy bug plus review just because of this review. Also, I subscribed! Great video!
I think the Bose is better for ANC. It is more than a year late but Bose's white noise is less noticable then Sony's with ANC on. I am quute surprised too because WH series blows any of over-ear bose headphones off water. But again, time difference is not a small factor to ignore.
I like the buds live call quality . Big question is it safer for your hearing since they do not invade your ear canal. if yes this is a big deciding factor.
Why do people keep saying you can use the buds independently? If you put the right Bud back in the case and shut the door the left one turns off. There is no documentation online that shows that it's able to be used one bud at a time.
I think there’s a massive difference. I had the sound sport free and the new noise cancelling ones and I’m absolutely blasted. The bass on the sound sport free is a bit heavier but the new one is clearer. The bass is clearer, the highs and mids are all super crisp. I discover new bits of songs from day to day. It’s actually fun listening to music
Fantastic review! You hit all the issues Spot on. I used them daily since they first came out and I used the Bose sound sport free for over a year since they first came out.
I just want to make a note about something.... People that find any buds uncomfortable and hurt a little, your ears will get used to it. I own The Bose QC buds and NOW ONLY THE LEFT Jabra elite lol.... And they used to bother me wearing them. but after a couple of weeks it's like they are not there anymore.... Good luck
I tested the Bose QuietComfort vs. Sony XM4. Bose won. Sony has truer base and drums. More natural sounding and deeper. But Sony voice and guitars are weak and artificial. Also, I can only get good fit with Sony's odd "memory foam" if I keep my fingers pressed against the buds (not convenient). I ordered a replacement bud made of silicone (like the Bose uses) that other experts recommend for the Sony. If this "fixes" or improves the Sony's I'll update. Because right now, with the factory Sony foam, I can't even get good noice cancelling. WHich is surprised me because Sony is supposed to beat the Bose Quiet Comfort in noise cancelling.
I got the Bose QC upgraded from my bose soundsport free, i can truly say the QC are miles ahead with sound quality and the noise cancelling is the best i have used with an earbud. My sister has the sony and we both agree the QC gives way better natural live sound. Turn the sony up to much and it goes distorted... bose continues to give out truly outstanding sound. Just waiting for me bro to get the B&O earbuds and then that will be interesting as B&O are the leading company when it comes to music etc
U think u left out battery life and connection type, usb C or micro usb, and the location of it. Those are pretty important to included in reviews. Overall great review video. U should also review Sudio earbuds. I love the tolv and it’s manual buttons, make a guess why manual buttons?
I am an owner of the sennheisers and the bose. I was very skeptical when buying the bose, but I am very very satisfied with the sound. It's a unique sound but it doesn't sacrifice on the clarity and the track separation. I am very impressed with the bose
The Sony's don't fall off if you're using the right size of eartip. I've had them in for hours while being semi-active for work and have only had to do some minor readjustments every now and then.
I drive a truck for a living so to say that there's excessive road noise in the background while you're using the phone is an understatement. How does the Bose earbuds do with excessive road noise in the background while using the phone when you're driving? Can people still hear you clearly? What's the range? Is it more than 50 ft?
Another rock solid review on the latest tech. Loved the shake test!! Lol 😆 Cool magnetic feature and liked the ear attachment, but a bit pricey.💸 Hope all is well with you and your family. Take care, be safe and stay healthy bro!👍
Details are definitely missing in the mid range BUT the base is just wonderful. I prefer Bose QuiteComfort to my Sony WF-1000xm4 when listening to Electronic Dance Music. If you plan on listening to instrumental music or vocals, jazz etc the Sony with its LDAC codac have much better and detailed sound.
Great video, Mike. Gotta say I am so torn between the bose and the sennheiser. The bose seem to be amazing, but the software issues are s worry. And that case, good grief!! Its a tough call.
I have had the Bose Soundsport Free for about 2 years now and I ordered the Bose Quiet Comforts. If the fit is anything like the Soundsport Frees then I can assure you that it would not fall out of your ears easily. In fact it has never fell out of my ears at all and I run and workout and even play basketball with them. Keep in mind that you are supposed to give them a twist when you put them in ear. Hopefully this remains true with the Quiet Comforts. Guess I'll find out on Thursday.
@@ccss9827 Still using it till this day and I love it! In fact, I just got back from traveling and the noise canceling on the plane was fantastic! Very comfortable and has great sound. After having it for about 10 months, the only critique that I have is the controls. I hate that you have to chose between either skipping forward on a track, or going back. Can't be both. The touch controls are also very sensitive. I can't wear a hoody with it while working out because when the hoody touches any part of the earbuds it will either skip a track or go back (depending on your settings) or it will activate voice controls. Very annoying! But Outside of that if we're talking strictly comfort and sound, it's perfect. Also great for calls and has very long range surprisingly.
My big thing is the sound quality if the music I listen too. Yes Bose does lack some other functionalities that other earbuds have. But the music sound quality is second to none in my opinion! And that's what I like about Bose!
With the xm3 you really need to check all the earbuds tips comes with the box to get the best fit. After a week of use the small foam tip is the best for me
Well done Mike! Your review confirms what others haver said: namely, that Bose’s ANC is the best, but that the software lets them down. I can’t get a good fit with the AirPods Pro and was waiting for the Bose buds, but I think I’ll wait to see if the software gets better. I suspect that Bose realised they were losing out on the ANC earbud market and got these out, trusting that the software could be fixed at a later date and relying on their name and superior ANC.
I tested Bose QuietComfort vs. Sony XM4, and Bose won on ANC. Easily. Sony used a weird memory foam type material. It's supposed to form to your ear. But it doesn't. And even with fingers pressing in, Bose still wins. As another top reviewer said, with the Sony, you can still hear high freq noice. Like high pitched voices and guitars from songs on sports-bar speakers. If you haven't tried the Bose, I highly recommend you do. They are big for a reason. Their ANC is serious. If you have Amz Prime you can return them.
A good eq and customizable settings would make these a game changer but as they are I ended up selling mine. They easily have the best noise cancelling with no music playing and a good sound but are just missing functionality and the customization that’s become synonymous with this industry.
Great to see you do another earbuds review Mike was funnily only thinking yesterday hadn't seen one from you for a while. Great review as expected. Mike liked the look of the hub you were using with the Qi pad on top, could you drop a name? Sadly Bose are no known for getting their software fixed. I’m using the new Technics earbuds at the moment and loving them esp as I got them on an Amazon day for 80 bucks off
@@MikeWat excellent thx, I dd zoom into vid and had at look at their site, I think I’ll get the mobile battery, I like the control options on it and it’s max carry on power storage in a convenience package for when we can travel openly again. Welcome back to the world of buds, and thanks for the home work env vids u did a little while back they gave me some useful ideas.
Couldnt temp you into doing a Jabra 85t review I suppose, Samson vs Goliath of earbuds, really not sure about them, the convenience is attractive but haven’t seen anyone punching the air over the ANC or music sound yet despite the 12.5 mm drivers?
Thanks, Mike! I've been waiting for you to review the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds. In terms of pure sound quality, which true wireless earbuds do you think are the best? (Price does not matter.)
The Sennheiser momentum 2 . A bit on the pricey side but worth every penny. The sound doesn't muffle on ANC , audio separation is signature Senny and base just enough to not to distort the audio. Good call quality as well.
I own both Senn and Bose, man what it comes down to is how much do you like bass, I love every single thing about the Bose except the bass, they are stellar ANC is best in business. Sennheiser has more Bass, really warm sound. Bose if you aren't a bass head
Recently got the Sennheiser Momentum 2 and I absolutely love them. Soundwise I've always preferred Sennheiser over Bose, so judging just by the looks of the earbuds, form factor, battery life and the customizable options available, with the exception of the noise cancelling these have nothing over the Sennheiser. Though it is really good to see competition and have another option for those who have sound quality as a top priority.
Compare them to the Jabra Elites! Because personally I still think Jabra 75T's take the cake over any wireless earbuds thus far. I am interested to hear your take on it. :)
12/3/2020 Update: Bose added volume control on the right earbud :)

Nice video, but I didn't see any comparison with 1More ANC with THX update. Was really looking forward to see how they stack up as I just got them recently...
let me see if I can get my hands on those :)
The Sony XM4 earbuds do NOT have multipoint connections. But perhaps what you are referring to is the ability to automatically switch to a phone call when you are listening to your laptop. Great review, I own the Bose QC earbuds. You are right, the lack of multipoint connection is irritating.
This is the best speakers/airbuds review video on the internet.
Mike this is awesome. Best and honest review on RUclips about bose quietcomfort earbuds. I really appreciate it 👍
Thank you!! Glad to make these vids again :)
sorry..... forgot to say great review. You covered everything I needed.
thank you :)
Great review! Very thorough and covers every aspect of music playback as well as software capabilities.
quick note, i also have these and no matter what i do, they won't fall out, so it's fair to say that how secure they fit in your ears is depended on you ear shape
You have to rotate them back slightly for a secure fit. Once you do that, they aren’t going anywhere unless you take them out.
Great review. Very informative. I have the Sony WF-1000XM3 and the WH-1000XM3. The problem for the WF is that my ears have discomfort after using the WF longer than 30-45 mins as they sit deep in the ear canal. I'd like to get the Bose but dang...they're a little bigger than the WF.
I have the sony and just to airpod pro. The way the airpods feel like you aren't wearing headphones is amazing. No pressure feeling or pain and they don't fall out every 2 minutes like the sony wf.
@@hyssean12 airpod pro are trash tho
Thanks for being a reviewer that uses multiple devices! You covered exactly what I needed to know. Multiple devices and left and right independent usage. I'm going to check out if you have a galaxy bug plus review just because of this review. Also, I subscribed! Great video!
Hmm, full metal alchemist, I see you're a man of culture as well
I think the Bose is better for ANC. It is more than a year late but Bose's white noise is less noticable then Sony's with ANC on.
I am quute surprised too because WH series blows any of over-ear bose headphones off water.
But again, time difference is not a small factor to ignore.
I like the buds live call quality . Big question is it safer for your hearing since they do not invade your ear canal. if yes this is a big deciding factor.
Why do people keep saying you can use the buds independently? If you put the right Bud back in the case and shut the door the left one turns off. There is no documentation online that shows that it's able to be used one bud at a time.
Is there a big difference in sound performance and musical details between it and the previous bose sound sport free?
I think there’s a massive difference. I had the sound sport free and the new noise cancelling ones and I’m absolutely blasted. The bass on the sound sport free is a bit heavier but the new one is clearer. The bass is clearer, the highs and mids are all super crisp.
I discover new bits of songs from day to day. It’s actually fun listening to music
Fantastic review! You hit all the issues Spot on. I used them daily since they first came out and I used the Bose sound sport free for over a year since they first came out.
Please review the Jabra 85T, would love to see if you think they sound terrible or not and compare to 75T and Bose and Mometum TW2.
Bose still has not fixed the Soundsport to use more than device. Where their QC30 connects to 2 devices simultaneously. I doubt they will fix these.
They did that am using soundsport with two devices
@@prabhat240897 simultaneously? I need to connect my Mac and mobile at the same time.
Great comparison! I agree, the sound quality is awesome but cmon BOSE chuck out an update for those bloody touch controls and EQ! 🙌
Thank you so much. Finally a non airpod pro biast review.
I just want to make a note about something.... People that find any buds uncomfortable and hurt a little, your ears will get used to it. I own The Bose QC buds and NOW ONLY THE LEFT Jabra elite lol.... And they used to bother me wearing them. but after a couple of weeks it's like they are not there anymore.... Good luck
I tested the Bose QuietComfort vs. Sony XM4. Bose won. Sony has truer base and drums. More natural sounding and deeper. But Sony voice and guitars are weak and artificial. Also, I can only get good fit with Sony's odd "memory foam" if I keep my fingers pressed against the buds (not convenient). I ordered a replacement bud made of silicone (like the Bose uses) that other experts recommend for the Sony. If this "fixes" or improves the Sony's I'll update. Because right now, with the factory Sony foam, I can't even get good noice cancelling. WHich is surprised me because Sony is supposed to beat the Bose Quiet Comfort in noise cancelling.
I got the Bose QC upgraded from my bose soundsport free, i can truly say the QC are miles ahead with sound quality and the noise cancelling is the best i have used with an earbud. My sister has the sony and we both agree the QC gives way better natural live sound. Turn the sony up to much and it goes distorted... bose continues to give out truly outstanding sound. Just waiting for me bro to get the B&O earbuds and then that will be interesting as B&O are the leading company when it comes to music etc
U think u left out battery life and connection type, usb C or micro usb, and the location of it. Those are pretty important to included in reviews. Overall great review video. U should also review Sudio earbuds. I love the tolv and it’s manual buttons, make a guess why manual buttons?
Really enjoy your breakdown and comparison videos! Super helpful, thanks!
Watched your video as I was thinking in buying the Bose and in the end will buy the Galaxy live ones
You need to re review jabra 75ts. They just got a free noise cancelling update.
I’ll check them out!
@@MikeWat with the 85t's. Oh it's an expensive month for you. ;)
Thanks for the great review. I have the Bose QC and it is great, the only thing is I wish the case was smaller.
Thanks Mike for this detailled video very good job !
Glad you enjoyed it buddy!
I am an owner of the sennheisers and the bose. I was very skeptical when buying the bose, but I am very very satisfied with the sound. It's a unique sound but it doesn't sacrifice on the clarity and the track separation. I am very impressed with the bose
Thanks for your advice. I was looking towards the Sony but now I'm going to go get the Bose.
The Sony's don't fall off if you're using the right size of eartip. I've had them in for hours while being semi-active for work and have only had to do some minor readjustments every now and then.
Mike, you can set the exact same noise cancelling level on #2 and #3 and it will flip between 0 and 10 ;)
Loved your proprietary 'shake-head' test :)
I think they did update the volume controls because on their webpage it now says you can swipe up and down to control volume kind of like on the NC700
I drive a truck for a living so to say that there's excessive road noise in the background while you're using the phone is an understatement. How does the Bose earbuds do with excessive road noise in the background while using the phone when you're driving? Can people still hear you clearly? What's the range? Is it more than 50 ft?
Been waiting for this. Great review!
thanks buddy! :)
Another rock solid review on the latest tech.
Loved the shake test!! Lol 😆
Cool magnetic feature and liked the ear attachment, but a bit pricey.💸
Hope all is well with you and your family.
Take care, be safe and stay healthy bro!👍
hey Brian! Always happy to see your comments, glad you liked this one too! :) All is well on my side, best wishes to you too man!
Details are definitely missing in the mid range BUT the base is just wonderful. I prefer Bose QuiteComfort to my Sony WF-1000xm4 when listening to Electronic Dance Music. If you plan on listening to instrumental music or vocals, jazz etc the Sony with its LDAC codac have much better and detailed sound.
By far the best reviewer. Keep it up.
Those are great for sleeping and just for use when you go to bed with my Bluetooth capable tv
Great video, Mike. Gotta say I am so torn between the bose and the sennheiser. The bose seem to be amazing, but the software issues are s worry. And that case, good grief!! Its a tough call.
Which one did u end up getting and why
I have had the Bose Soundsport Free for about 2 years now and I ordered the Bose Quiet Comforts. If the fit is anything like the Soundsport Frees then I can assure you that it would not fall out of your ears easily. In fact it has never fell out of my ears at all and I run and workout and even play basketball with them. Keep in mind that you are supposed to give them a twist when you put them in ear. Hopefully this remains true with the Quiet Comforts. Guess I'll find out on Thursday.
how did you end up liking the Bose comforts? interested in ordering some myself
@@ccss9827 Still using it till this day and I love it! In fact, I just got back from traveling and the noise canceling on the plane was fantastic! Very comfortable and has great sound. After having it for about 10 months, the only critique that I have is the controls. I hate that you have to chose between either skipping forward on a track, or going back. Can't be both. The touch controls are also very sensitive. I can't wear a hoody with it while working out because when the hoody touches any part of the earbuds it will either skip a track or go back (depending on your settings) or it will activate voice controls. Very annoying! But Outside of that if we're talking strictly comfort and sound, it's perfect. Also great for calls and has very long range surprisingly.
For me the best and I have the Jabra 75 active ,1more ANC, Bose sound sport, decebel, pamu slide,Samsung buds,fiil t1x etc
My big thing is the sound quality if the music I listen too. Yes Bose does lack some other functionalities that other earbuds have. But the music sound quality is second to none in my opinion! And that's what I like about Bose!
Wow skin so clean now. Well done
You ever tested the jabra 75?
Best review I have seen to date. Thank you!!!
With the xm3 you really need to check all the earbuds tips comes with the box to get the best fit. After a week of use the small foam tip is the best for me
Well done Mike! Your review confirms what others haver said: namely, that Bose’s ANC is the best, but that the software lets them down. I can’t get a good fit with the AirPods Pro and was waiting for the Bose buds, but I think I’ll wait to see if the software gets better. I suspect that Bose realised they were losing out on the ANC earbud market and got these out, trusting that the software could be fixed at a later date and relying on their name and superior ANC.
I tested Bose QuietComfort vs. Sony XM4, and Bose won on ANC. Easily. Sony used a weird memory foam type material. It's supposed to form to your ear. But it doesn't. And even with fingers pressing in, Bose still wins. As another top reviewer said, with the Sony, you can still hear high freq noice. Like high pitched voices and guitars from songs on sports-bar speakers. If you haven't tried the Bose, I highly recommend you do. They are big for a reason. Their ANC is serious. If you have Amz Prime you can return them.
Nice review! BUT with some mistakes ! U CAN incrase/decrease the volume by swipe on the right bud up or down! RTFM Page 11
Still love my Sony’s
A good eq and customizable settings would make these a game changer but as they are I ended up selling mine. They easily have the best noise cancelling with no music playing and a good sound but are just missing functionality and the customization that’s become synonymous with this industry.
Just download an eq on the app store...
I just use the eq that is on your phone.
Great to see you do another earbuds review Mike was funnily only thinking yesterday hadn't seen one from you for a while. Great review as expected. Mike liked the look of the hub you were using with the Qi pad on top, could you drop a name? Sadly Bose are no known for getting their software fixed. I’m using the new Technics earbuds at the moment and loving them esp as I got them on an Amazon day for 80 bucks off
hey Adrian! really glad you liked the review, it has been a long while eh? xD That was the omnicharge portable battery :)
@@MikeWat excellent thx, I dd zoom into vid and had at look at their site, I think I’ll get the mobile battery, I like the control options on it and it’s max carry on power storage in a convenience package for when we can travel openly again. Welcome back to the world of buds, and thanks for the home work env vids u did a little while back they gave me some useful ideas.
Yeah, i already tried many tws. And bose soundsport free is one, and i thought it one of the best tws sound till now
I bought the new Bose and I love them thanks for the video.
Great video! You sold me with the Bose earbuds
You can use Apple watch to control volume go forward or back and a lot of things
Couldnt temp you into doing a Jabra 85t review I suppose, Samson vs Goliath of earbuds, really not sure about them, the convenience is attractive but haven’t seen anyone punching the air over the ANC or music sound yet despite the 12.5 mm drivers?
Great review but you cannot use the earbuds independently on the bose qc at all. At least from my experience
Bose wins... as always...the wind noise using a fan was brilliant!!
Thanks, Mike! I've been waiting for you to review the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds.
In terms of pure sound quality, which true wireless earbuds do you think are the best? (Price does not matter.)
The Sennheiser momentum 2 . A bit on the pricey side but worth every penny. The sound doesn't muffle on ANC , audio separation is signature Senny and base just enough to not to distort the audio. Good call quality as well.
I would get the bose for sure if you listen to less bass heavy songs. The bose sound the best right now for me :)
I own both Senn and Bose, man what it comes down to is how much do you like bass, I love every single thing about the Bose except the bass, they are stellar ANC is best in business. Sennheiser has more Bass, really warm sound. Bose if you aren't a bass head
@@BeauDapro anything that goes for the sennheiser over bose?
Recently got the Sennheiser Momentum 2 and I absolutely love them. Soundwise I've always preferred Sennheiser over Bose, so judging just by the looks of the earbuds, form factor, battery life and the customizable options available, with the exception of the noise cancelling these have nothing over the Sennheiser.
Though it is really good to see competition and have another option for those who have sound quality as a top priority.
Compare them to the Jabra Elites! Because personally I still think Jabra 75T's take the cake over any wireless earbuds thus far. I am interested to hear your take on it. :)
I just got the Bose and love them... I don’t have anything to compare them to though but to me there great!!
Do they fall when running
@@JamalPhoenix nope I work out in them all the time
@@drewnapoleons4569 thanks thats what I was worried about.
Great video. No BS and it helped me decide
Awesome video! Thanks for posting!!
Excellent review.. Cheers mate!
please do a review for sony sp800n.
I have a trampoline in my backyard and these stay on very well unless i am doing flips.
