Longtime purchaser of Bose products here, and I can safely say this is the worst pair of earbuds I've ever had the displeasure of owning. They have constant connection issues, with only one earbud deciding to work at times. Often, they will have a very brief distorted effect where they fade in and out, which can occur often and be quite jarring. Often times, receiving calls or notifications while listening to something else will render the earbuds unusable until you reset them. The battery life is great, and the sound quality it acceptable, but the constant connectivity issues and bugs make for an infuriating experience.

tldr: avoid these earbuds at all costs

Update: Bose replaced them with a pair of the QuietComfort Ultra earbuds. Those are also garbage.

Look, I’ll give them the fact that the sound cancelling is pretty decent, but otherwise it is not worth the crazy amount I spent on these.

The case is flimsy and made of cheap plastic and the top broke within a week. Constant connectivity issues; one earbud working and the other not, connecting to other nearby devices automatically and then stopping what I’m listening to, or just not connecting at all.

Maybe I only have myself to blame for not doing enough research, but I thought paying upwards of $300 would get me something I wouldn’t have THIS many issues with.

I’m not here to hate, just here to share because I wish I had seen something warning me about them before I went and bought them. Currently saving up for AirPods now. Hope they’ll do me better than these!
