I used the Apple AirPods Pro for a little over a year with my IPhone 11 to listen to music as well as long audio books, so they got a lot of usage. The sound quality on both of them is excellent in all categories; however, the Bose offer more powerfulI sound, a little better noise cancellation and fit the ear a little better. The Bose definitely fall out of my ears less and that is important to me given my active lifestyle and workouts. That said, the transparency mode that enhances ambient sound on the AirPods was much better, which can be an excellent feature for those with harder hearing. Additionally, the AirPods had better connection and interaction with the iPhone, especially switching between programs/apps/calls. I occasionally have connection issues with the Bose and my iPhone that I didn’t experience so much with the AirPods. So there are pluses and minuses to each one, and you just need to decide which features you value more to decide which listening device is best for your needs.Read full review

So you can't use the left earbud by itself, there's no EQ in the app for convenience, and the case for the thing is huge. Also w/ support for 24bit, it lacks higher than 48khz frequency response. Also. it lacks in the programmability of the swipe gestures which is SUPER disappointing However, the noise cancelling is VERY nice and pressureless.That said, I'ld still look elsewhere

I don't think I would pay full retail for the Bose Quiet Comfort earbuds. They are very good but when earbuds are close to $300 or more, that's too high. However refurbished these earbuds were down to $197 with an additional $70 off if purchased by Jan 31. At this price the Bose earbuds were very affordable. I had been using a much cheaper pair of earbuds. They had great reviews so I didn't know what to expect from the Bose. The sound was way better than my cheap earbuds. They are way bigger than my cheap pair but once in my ear I don't pay them any mind. They are just as comfortable if not more so than my smaller pair. Even though the Bose QC were refurbished, they look brand new. They also come with a 2 year warranty.

Great fit, great sound. Knew going in that you couldn't change songs from the ear piece but that's probably the only thing Is change. The best feature: Running along the coast and cannot hear the wind!

Great sound quality. Bose Connect App works well with these buds outside of the device itself. My phone's blue tooth settings also worked well with these buds. The specific Bose App however, was not very friendly and hard to connect. Wouldn't recognize my log in credentials. Said I had an account already under the info given. No idea if they meant the Bose Connect App info. Or some other autosinc/ or linked site by Bose. Could be an unchecked setting on my phone. As for volume, I'm Gen-X. I'm biased on the good ole days where it every sound device out there could get very loud. Talking about 1990 ish and before. I gave these buds 4 stars because I feel today's tech should allow for louder volumes in many on/in ear audio devices. Also, ear bud tech is evolving so fast that the price seems a bit high for something that will be quickly outdated sooner than we'd like. So post 1990 volume limits and higher price is why I didn't give these ear buds 5 stars. Noise cancel quality is good. The volume level is loud enough, could be louder, but satisfactory for now. Not calling this a bad purchase. Just pining for more.Read full review
