    I use those earbuds for around a year and quality of those is bad, they broken for third time since i own them, one of the buds will not turn on, or will not connect to second bud. there is no way to manually turn them on, its done by some proximity sensor on each bud. factory reset most often cause them to not be able to connect to anything. sometimes it helps to put them in to case for few minutes, but it stops working after some times.

    beside that they work and play as well as in review

    About a month ago I purchased a pair of QC II buds, they had loads of weird noises and beeps during calls. I got a replacement 4 days later, these ones had buzzing and crackling noises in both the left and right earbuds. Replaced them again, this time with buzzing and crackling noises in the left bud. As just a buyer beware for the quality control. The same issues happened with the QC Ultra Buds

    Note: this happened in any environment and regardless of if they were connected to a device or not. Even straight out of the box.

  4. Update: We’ve converted this review to Test Bench 1.6, which updates how we measure latency. We’ve updated and renamed the following test groups: Wired Connection, Bluetooth Connection, and Wireless Connection (Dongle). We’ve also added new codec latency measurements and provided an audio sample of recorded latency.

    I have the same experience, It’s really annoying when sometimes i take out one of the buds to talk to someone, then putting the earbud back in only to find out that the earbud has turned itself off and won’t turn on again no matter what. (Putting it back in the case and taking it out again won’t help. It only turns back on when it suddenly “feels like doing it” after a while)

    Had mine for half a year. Strange noises sometimes but what bothers me the most is its touch, Too sensitive and goes bananas if you wear a rain hood and even a mosquito net which also triggers play, pause, forward, volume. Was in place with an update so you could turn off touch completely, but it seems as if Bose has abandoned the product. But the sound hits all my others in ear. Apple Pro, Power beats Pro etc. Amazing sound!

    Edited 2 years ago: Amazing sound.
  7. Update: We’ve added a comparison between these headphones and the Sony WF-1000XM5 in Battery.

    This review either takes sides or they fall heavily for advertising slogans of the products. Or they send you the headset they produce best as a sample for review. Anyway, let me get to the point. I also recently bought a QC 2 and everything worked fine and properly on the headset. Only 1 day has passed and the headset has started to show connection problems with the Android application. It was difficult to connect, I had to try to connect it too much. I solved this problem. Afterwards, a continuous sound in the back, such as a white noise inside the headphones, a slight rain outside, or the sound of the wind, began to bother me. I couldn’t figure out what I was sleeping on. Afterwards, I returned it immediately and ordered a new QC 2. The new product had the same problem, this time there was noise in this headset from the moment I first installed it. I don’t trust any of these headphones anymore and I don’t recommend them to anyone. I’m looking for a new high quality headset. I’m open to suggestions.

    We’re quite sorry to hear about your poor experience with these. Bluetooth connection issues seem to be somewhat of a frequent event for a lot of users according to this reddit thread. Maybe getting rid of the app as suggested in here would help your situation! As for the white noise, there’s also this thread. Does this sound similar to what you’re experiencing?

    It’s also worth noting that we buy and test all of the products we review ourselves to ensure our experience is the same as the average user. That said, the unit we bought and tested didn’t showcase the same issues you’re having, but we’ll add a note to the review as it seems like a pretty widespread issue. Thanks for sharing your experience!

    As for other premium options, have you tried the Sony WF-1000XM5? We also plan on reviewing the latest Sennheiser MOMENTUM 4 True Wireless soon!

  10. Update: We’ve converted this review to Test Bench 1.7, which updates our Noise Isolation test. We’ve also expanded the scope of this test to include Common Scenarios in addition to Voice Handling and Wind Handling.
