Bose QuietComfort Earbuds 2:

Bose’s new $300 flagship earbuds feature a smaller design, better sound, improved voice-calling performance and arguably the best noise-canceling out there right now in a headphone. CNET editor David carnoy explains that even though they’re missing a couple of features, they’re easily among the very top earbuds of 2022.

    Are the tips in-ear or like the previous gen?

    No wireless charging at that price is unacceptable.

    Thank you for an excellent video! Really appreciate the honesty and thoroughness of your review.

    My take – as a fan of Bose, these look like a really great update from the previous QuietComfort earbuds. Better noise cancellation, the microphone quality definitely sounds improved (albeit could still be better), and the smaller form size of both the earbuds and the charging case.

    However, I’m off-put with the lack of wireless charging and bluetooth multipoint. I agree that the latter will most likely be unveiled in a future update, but the lack of wireless charging seems odd.

    I’ll most likely stick with the first-gen for now. But future upgrades building from this look promising! Excited to watch your review then!

    In 2022, with a case and earbuds of this size, no wireless charging, just 6 hours per charge, no mono mode, impossible to deactivate ANC, no multipoint, no ADAPTIVE APTX or LDAC, and an astronomical price, 😳

    I think the Airpods Pro 2 will still roll over the competition.

    • D'angelo Richelieü

      September 15, 2022 at 8:09 pm

      good point i think airpods pro 2 will be best choice

    • James Carter

      September 15, 2022 at 8:14 pm

      Exactly my point! He’s trolling us and getting paid from bose and I respect that 😆

  6. JoystickJester

    Can you please test them against the Samsung Galaxy Pro 2

    no boddy talks about can be use as a single earbuds 🤨

    Surpasses Xf1000xm4 ?? Surely you’re having a laugh😂. Listen the sony xf1000xm4 has superb sound stage ,amazing battery life, wireless charging and wonderful noise cancelation (LDAC which is a monster on it’s own) Not to mention an app jam packed with features. AND ohh it’s 30 bucks cheaper than bose. 😂🤦🏾‍♂️

      The soundcore life P3 have wireless charging better battery life too but that are weak arguments. The main thing for most of the people is the NC. 10% better NC is better than wireless charging or multipoint. When i make a run or i work in my garden i take my cheap soundcore life p3. When i drive with a train or i’m in a plain than i take my bose. It’s luxury of course. 30$ more or less is not interesting for me.

    How they sound in comparison with original ones? Original ones sound SUPERB

    September 15, 2022 at 8:25 pm

    Bluetooth 5.3 but no multipoint. $200 Lolllll 👎

    • Hänschen Klein

      September 15, 2022 at 10:08 pm

      but NC works very well that’s more important for me

    The problem with these little true wireless is that it doesn’t last longer than the battery lasts. Lottery also of the same brand and difficult to review.

  13. alvarortega2

    September 15, 2022 at 8:42 pm

    David, big fan for years …
    are there any buds out there that will maintain the sound level wether it’s content or commercials? Really annoying how volume jumps when commercials come on…

  14. JK

    September 15, 2022 at 8:55 pm

    $379 CAD. Bose clearly don’t want anyone to buy them.

    No multipoint and even no wireless carge? WTF, Bose?!? It’s a downgrade! Fail!

    Thanks for the video … I like the design of these … I find that most of the current EarBuds do better with just listening to Music/ Videos … Mic quality could be hit or miss depending voice tone and how loud one talks…

    Bose headphones are amazing. The reason I buy them and not the AirPods.

    Cool video will wait for some more reviews before I purchase.

    Is there any find my buds function?

    That call example was great. I’m amazed.

    No wireless charging was a deal breaker for me. I’ll stick with the QC 1 for now.

    • Hänschen Klein

      September 17, 2022 at 7:46 am

      You can probably plug a plug once a week?!

    • Albert Almaguer

      September 17, 2022 at 1:05 pm

      @Hänschen Klein oh absolutely, but not at this price point. It’s like buying the newest BMW but this time they have manual seats. 😑 Adjustments will probably be at a minimum but when you do adjust, it’s a small eye roll every time 😒 lol

    • Hänschen Klein

      September 17, 2022 at 10:50 pm

      but i still prefer the newest BMW with manual seats over a Toyota with automatik seat adjustment

    • Albert Almaguer

      September 17, 2022 at 11:10 pm

      @Hänschen Klein forget the Toyota. You already have a BMW, you’re just getting a couple years newer then what you currently have only now they took away your automatic seats and charge you more for the new one.

    • Albert Almaguer

      September 17, 2022 at 11:10 pm

      @Hänschen Klein Tell me that wouldn’t be annoying lol

  28. SosoManhess

    September 17, 2022 at 10:28 am

    can they use Dolby Atmos from Apple Music?

  29. ShyamSunder Bansal

    September 17, 2022 at 12:31 pm

    Does the left or right works independently for phone calls like airpods? Predecessor left alone can’t be used for call

    Lmao 299 for this archaic design Bose is out of touch

  32. Ken Storms

    Look forward to the comparison to the AirPods 2

  33. Ian Doody

    September 17, 2022 at 4:45 pm

    The microphone sounds better than the Bose Sport Earbuds as they’re just useless. Great for listening but unusable for phone calls/video conferencing

  34. Beltrán Sánchez

    September 17, 2022 at 5:55 pm

    These vs the seinheisser ?

  35. B4U2010

    no wireless charging is the one the prevent me buying this earbuds.

    I’m using bose earbuds as I’m watching this. They are amazing and work very well. Love the noise cancelling since I am very noise sensitive. You can’t go wrong with these things. The price is definitely worth it!

  38. Hui Zeng

    September 18, 2022 at 1:58 am

    Good—–i’d love to have bose’s great wireless headphones.

  39. Megatron2013

    September 18, 2022 at 3:08 am

    They’re not worth $300, more like $150 to $200.

  40. Haran Karthick

    All these years of waiting for just a decent design update, and then this? Yo go home.

    Does the Bose feature Vent system for pressure equalization?

  43. TENET

    299.00 Bose done lost their minds

  44. Roy Moses

    September 18, 2022 at 12:13 pm

    This vs Sennheiser momentum 4 on sound quality alone which sounds better ?

  45. Mmmm MMmmm

    September 18, 2022 at 1:43 pm

    Great videos … but rule no. 1 … don’t look into the camera when recording yourself displaying buds on walk abouts, sideways, buses, out and about, etc. Great voice.

  46. Wayne bog

    September 18, 2022 at 1:55 pm

    I LOVE QC ORIGINAL BUDS THE WING TIPS ARE EXCELLENT AND MADE THEM FOR ME BEST FITTING ONES I OWNED CAN’T SEE THESE FITTING BETTER THAN THE ORIGINALS

    Great job on video 👍

  48. KR

    September 18, 2022 at 3:06 pm

    Were you listening to music or other audio when you tested the noise cancellation?

  49. nariah Faith

    Why’d he say sandstone while displaying lavender buds lol

  50. Krisztian Papp

    September 18, 2022 at 8:09 pm

    These earbuds are bleeding from a lot of wounds. I would not buy it for even 50 bucks right now. It needs a lot of fix.

  51. Don wu

    September 19, 2022 at 5:01 am

    There is one feature that is a deal breaker for me. The earbuds can’t turn off. They did that for the option “find my buds” but it should have the option to turn it off to save battery. I only use the once a week and everytime I have to charge them before I use them. I just returned them.

  52. cauldron11

    September 19, 2022 at 5:52 am

    Are the ear tips the same as other brands where they go inside the ear canal? The StayHear tip prevented somehow the tip to go all the way in

  53. JaneLee Keller

    September 19, 2022 at 7:13 am

    I don’t care how “Top” they are, They’re Too Damn Expensive !
    Bose has an Arrogant “Whatever The Traffic Will Bear” Mentality.

    The Liberty Soundcore Pro Line is far Superior at a Common sense Price point.

    Another Point –
    When Products are Reviewed that work with All kinds of Devices, it is a Huge Turn off to watch them constantly demonstrated on an
    🍏 Device.

    Apple is Overrepresented !
    Android is used by Many More People than Apple will Ever be !

    ULTIMATE
