Huge DISAPPOINTMENT: Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II Review!

DONT BUY THIS SHIT!!! HONESTLY!! I WASTED 226 EUROS AND THE COMPANY DOESNT WANT TO RETURN IT! IF I MAKE OUTDOOR CALLS PEOPLE ON THE OTHER SIDE GET ANNOYED THAT WTF EARPHONES I AM USING! I AM JUST TRYING TO SAVE YOUR MONEY! NOTHING AGAINST THIS BOSE COMPANY!!

The longing look on your thumbnail is ALL OF US! 😂😂😂 I can’t get these stupid things to feel secure in my ear. I loved the wingtip. So WTF, BO?! Yes, they’re just Bo now!

Can the single earbud mode feature be added later as a firmware update?

Love the review. Was looking at them because refurbished are $159 at the moment but after the first generation I lost. Two dies not seem like an upgrade

I was hesitating with sony xm5... I finally chose bose for a better fit and much less invasive, better ANC in mids.
I was super enthusiastic the first 3 weeks, the sound is not as bassy as bose used to make, and that's a good thing.
Now, those buds don't like being out of their case, I am sometimes falling asleep and I drop them on the nightstand... They get drained overtime like in use, then, if the battery is still up, they have a hard time to reco'nect to the phone and often play with lower sound on one earbud or totally off.
Puting them back in their base and taking them fix it most of the time, but 4 times I had to do a full reset.
Pretty annoying.

Are these TWS II??

Huge disappointment would be sound quality, battery performance or ANC not effective. Stop whining.

I have over ten different ear buds between are nice but try getting ahold all them

When did they fix the single use? Soon as I did the upgrade I could use the left ear bud by itself with the case closed but couldn't the first time I tried them.

They can be used independently with one in the case closed. I’m listening to this review on one earbud with the other in the closed case. So no idea what you are talking about.

Really good and unbiased review....

I haven't even watched this video yet but I can tell you right now that I agree regarding the QCIIs. I have both the QCIs and QCIIs and AFAIC the QCIIs basically suck. Now I'm gonna watch the video to see what he has to say lol. Will amend comment after.

I actually prefer the bulkier case and the larger size of the earbuds…

I got mine a few days and since day one I've been having a connection issue, suddenly the connection falls by its own and the right earbud is off, this happens all the time

You can use single ear bud 8-18-23

The static noise driving nuts

The problem is you can only use one side

that's the problem I even wanted them to play single but it works with right only

I don’t use wireless charging I don’t think that’s a big deal breaker

Man you just answered my questions.. I was calling for help and there was 39 callers before me. Excellent clear explanations. Thank you so much!

Great review! Thank You. 😊

Thanjs these will be hsed as my travel in the sky buds after watching this!

Thanks for This review

My huge disappointment of these earbuds is that they keep disconnecting from the smartphone (in my case, it's Samsung Note 8, it's for workout only), not sure why...

Great review. Thanks

Top quality noise cancellation and the sound. Using for 4 months . The only big issue is the charger case. I just dropped once and the top door is broken. There are lot of users reported same. It is a low quality plastic and cannot be glued. If you are not using silicon case , be aware that it will break for sure. Warranty replacement is not covered for that and new charger case is 99$. That is my only complaint.

I find them to be very buggy.

Bro o just took back my Nose Quiet Comfort 2 yesterday because I thought it didn't work with Android right. I didn't know you couldn't use one at a time. I do that all the time at work. But the noise cancelling was amazing and the sound quality was really good. Better then the pixel bud pro I traded out for by far.

I just received my new QC II buds. Like, an hour ago.
ANC is fantastic - but the software update was 1.1.14 and the latest is 1.3.something... I couldn't hear or play music (iPhone 14 Pro, also new so not the issue). After the update they worked perfectly.
I'm OK with the bass (first album I always play is Dark Side of the Moon); they sound great to me.
Fit me right out of the box. I may fuss with the bands later on but the seal is good with the medium bands and medium plugs.
Yeah at $300 they may be lacking for some. I don't really care about wireless charging - but I'd miss it if my phone didn't have it so I get it. You're paying $100 for the Bose logo, as with a lot of Bose stuff (I have a few of them around here).
But mainly I wanted ANCs so I could mow the lawn without using my earmuff hearing protectors! Sounds weird yeah, but I have those old Sport Free enormous buds and the muffs didn't fit over them for beans.
I may still get the Apple buds - at $100 cheaper they may do well enough. I never liked the form factor though, nor white stuff hanging off my head. Too bright.
I got the slate grey color - special offer right now on Bose's website. I like them.
OK flip side of the album coming up, Gotta go! :D

I was about to pull the trigger, but that individual use stopped me😅

Thanks for the video because I was trying to decide between apple and Bose earbuds. I can't use them independently is a no go for that price point. Thank You! No wireless charging... Not going to work.

Can you still use one air Bud to listen to and have the other one in its case while closed or did they fix that update? Thank you.

I've watched dozens of videos . For me call quality at busy areas is most important ( I'm android user ) what's the best for me . some say liberté 4 nothing 2 or bose quietcomfort 2 . Pls an answer special for me .1 I travel by car none hears me if window a little open 2 i go to factories and show exebitions . I need to decide in 48 hrs . If bose are really better for me 300$ isn't an issue .

DO NOT BUY: They suck, they fall out continiously. Larger Tips do not fit in case to charge. Total pain in the ass and not worth $269. Buy the Jabra Eites. Never slip good noise cancelation and $120 cheaper.

Excellent review! I love the sound but I do t have the success you have in keeping them in my ears. I’ve tried all the sizes of tips but it still falls out. When searching for an answer on the web this seems to be a common complaint.

Having come from Sony MDR WF1000XM4 buds which I absolutely hated, I picked up the Bose QCII without reading any reviews on them. I based my purchase on an old pair of QC20i buds I had ages ago. And these QC2 buds do not disappoint. What do we buy them for mainly? To listen to music, podcasts, make/take calls or just enjoying the quiet. Second, we want them to perform well rather doing workouts, running, hiking out biking and etc. And they deliver! Third, One bud versus two, how they charge, color, are all on the bottom of the list of properties (for me). I’ll never buy another brand of buds except Bose.

Huge disappointment? Talking huge nonsense sorry

Agree! Total DISAPPOINTMENT!!

MAYBE THEY AREN'T GOOD FOR YOUR LITTLE HEAD.... hahahah...... mine are aweseome.... best earbuds you can buy right now.

Wireless charging is stupid, considering the lifespan of a lithium battery and also that is almost impossible to replace them. Heat produced by wireless charging degrade batteries at a higher rate.

To me, Bose is #1 for sound quality (and noise cancelling). That's where it stands. If you need other features, and if those other features are more or as important as the sound quality, go with other brands. I always choose Bose because sound quality is my main choice when it comes to choosing a headphone (including in-ear)

Your review is right on target but for me the Bose QC are still my preferred because of the noise reduction. I can't stand listening to some of the popular trash vulgar non-sense no talent music of nowadays.
I also have the Sony WH-1000 with all three features that the QC lacks but the noise canceling of the Bose is much superior.

The II has a constant white noise that you cant turn off, I’m returning them 😭😭

Bose is dropping the ball. I purchased the QC I. Not a big upgrade from the QC I. Yes the QC I are bigger. I like them bigger. QC I has wireless charging. QC II does not. To me it's a minor upgrade from QC I. Not buying another Bose earbuds or headphones. Waiting on Sony to drop their next ANC wireless earbuds.

Phone call conversation are not loud.....

Wireless charging isn’t a big deal for me honestly

Bose has bar none the most comfortable earbuds, period.
