The new QC Earbuds have active noise canceling and cost $120 less than Bose’s flagship QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds. They’re not quite as good as the Ultras, but there’s a lot to like about them aside from a couple of small shortcomings. And they have a few features missing from the Ultras, including wireless charging. CNET editor David Carnoy reviews them.

    Affordable is a good. Wireless charging too!

    Bose recently switched their included warranty to 1 year down from the 2 years they offered formally, so that’s something to be aware of before buying. God speed

    I like this guy cuz He seems so serious.

    THIS IS NOT FAIR … to compare to apple products u have to find something at half of the price !

    This doesn’t make sense as a comparison. The AirPods 4 are an ear BUD, not an IEM. This is an IEM, an IN ear monitor. They are designed for different use cases and each have their own strengths and weaknesses.

    Compare it to the two year old AirPod Pro 2, but not the AirPod 4 which are designed for people who don’t want things in their ear canal.

    Why release a product quick clearly needs new firmware. Voice calling is such a critical feature. Bose make headsets for pilots, they should be nailing this

    They look terrible though…

    I’m over my AirPods Pro. Charging them has been horrible. I’m happy there’s other options

    • @nztoddhaskell

      September 29, 2024 at 2:32 pm

      Really? I was thinking of getting some. Whats wrong with the charging? Issue not covered under warranty?

  10. @TurinTurambarTolkien

    September 29, 2024 at 1:41 pm

    Hookless earbuds never stay in for very long. I do not see the point. A smaller case…? Make them with hooks.

    September 29, 2024 at 2:03 pm

    “More affordable” – $180 ????????

    • @josuegonzalez-pirir8300

      September 30, 2024 at 12:18 am

      For the price it’s worth it tbh

    • @sinigangpapi3379

      September 30, 2024 at 4:30 am

      Oh this is definitely worth it trust me. This was my first Bose product I ever purchased and it beats all of the buds I’ve purchased that costed more.

    Idea… Portable PCVR experience. A small headset with its graphical power on the outside connected as a booster back pack. Potentially run the latest Nvidia AMD graphics cards and all the other things youd find in a desktop or laptop, this would make the headset basically easier to create as it would free up space to make it thinner due to it utilising either the power of a laptop ???? its connected to or the booster pack that its connected to in the small ergonomic backpack on the PCVR user.

    Nice small headset with a small enough backpack thats able to run a graphics card fit to be in a desktop or high end laptop.

    Do you think they’ll move away from the Bose QC app into the normal Bose app in the future?

    Excellent review as usual. Especially like the call tests. True real world call testing bravo

    Buds are too much of a compromise. Need headphones for a large, glorious soundstage.
