CNET editor David carnoy explains that even though theyā€™re missing a couple of features, theyā€™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 ā€“ 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, Iā€™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.

    Iā€™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, šŸ˜³

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

      good point i think airpods pro 2 will be best choice

      Exactly my point! Heā€™s trolling us and getting paid from bose and I respect that šŸ˜†

    Surpasses Xf1000xm4 ?? Surely youā€™re having a laughšŸ˜‚. Listen the sony xf1000xm4 has superb sound stage ,amazing battery life, wireless charging and wonderful noise cancelation (LDAC which is a monster on itā€™s own) Not to mention an app jam packed with features. AND ohh itā€™s 30 bucks cheaper than bose. šŸ˜‚šŸ¤¦šŸ¾ā€ā™‚ļø

      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 iā€™m in a plain than i take my bose. Itā€™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

    Bluetooth 5.3 but no multipoint. $200 Lolllll šŸ‘Ž

    • HƤnschen Klein

      but NC works very well thatā€™s more important for me

    The problem with these little true wireless is that it doesnā€™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 ā€¦
    are there any buds out there that will maintain the sound level wether itā€™s content or commercials? Really annoying how volume jumps when commercials come onā€¦

    $379 CAD. Bose clearly donā€™t want anyone to buy them.

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

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

    No wireless charging was a deal breaker for me. Iā€™ll stick with the QC 1 for now.

    • HƤnschen 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

      @HƤnschen Klein oh absolutely, but not at this price point. Itā€™s like buying the newest BMW but this time they have manual seats. šŸ˜‘ Adjustments will probably be at a minimum but when you do adjust, itā€™s a small eye roll every time šŸ˜’ lol

    • HƤnschen 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

      @HƤnschen Klein forget the Toyota. You already have a BMW, youā€™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

      @HƤnschen Klein Tell me that wouldnā€™t be annoying lol

    can they use Dolby Atmos from Apple Music?

  29. ShyamSunder Bansal

    Does the left or right works independently for phone calls like airpods? Predecessor left alone canā€™t be used for call

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

    Iā€™m using bose earbuds as Iā€™m watching this. They are amazing and work very well. Love the noise cancelling since I am very noise sensitive. You canā€™t go wrong with these things. The price is definitely worth it!

  39. Megatron2013

    Theyā€™re not worth $300, more like $150 to $200.

    Great videos ā€¦ but rule no. 1 ā€¦ donā€™t look into the camera when recording yourself displaying buds on walk abouts, sideways, buses, out and about, etc. Great voice.

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

    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 canā€™t turn off. They did that for the option ā€œfind my budsā€ 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.

    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 donā€™t care how ā€œTopā€ they are, Theyā€™re Too Damn Expensive !
    Bose has an Arrogant ā€œWhatever The Traffic Will Bearā€ Mentality.

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

    Another Point ā€“
    When Products are Reviewed that work with All kinds of Devices, it is a Huge Turn off to watch them constantly demonstrated on an
    šŸ Device.

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