Bose QuietComfort Active Noise Cancelling True Wireless In-Ear Headphones - Chilled Lilac is rated 4.5 out of 5 by 76.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Hands down the best buds I've ever owned I have struggled to find buds that fit my tiny ears without pain after an hour. I had some custom fit that were great but I could only wear them for a couple of hours. When they say "noise canceling" they aren't joking. No cap. I bought them for work because my old Bose speaker is too loud in my baking space. Unfortunately I can't use them at work because I can't hear my timers going off. They are LOUD to be heard over the music from the bakers on the other side of my ovens. Long story short - these are extremely comfortable, have great sound and just noise canceling enough to know the fire alarm is going off but still hear whatever you are listening to.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Beautiful sound! earbuds just might not be for me I think the main downside of these for me was the fit. My ears are on the smaller side, so I tend to go for headphones or earbuds that stay on the outside of the canal (like the 1st gen airpods, for example). I used the smallest setting and accessory pieces for the bose sneakpeek earbuds, and even with this change, they were still putting a bit too much pressure on my ear canal and causing some discomfort, and after longer periods, some pain. In terms of sound however, it is, as always, super clear and super rich, so that part was great. And I will say, for earbuds that were uncomfortable, they stayed in my ears very well during a couple of outside runs I used them for.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Better than expected [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Bose QCE set a new standard with their exceptional noise-canceling ability, effortlessly blocking out even the most persistent background noise. The long battery life means you can enjoy uninterrupted playback throughout your day without constantly needing a charge. Designed for comfort, they fit securely and don’t budge, even during intense activity. What’s more, their significantly smaller size compared to the predecessor makes them lightweight and discreet without sacrificing sound quality. With this perfect balance of comfort, performance, and convenience, these earbuds are a top choice for any audio enthusiast.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from My new, favourite noise-cancelling ear-ware! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m an autistic-ADHD audiophile, hypersensitive to noise, so, effective noise-cancellation is vital for me! I’m, therefore, thrilled to share my review of these awesome new Bose QuietComfort Earbuds! Sound Quality Earbuds perform superbly in terms of overall audio quality! Nice balanced sound, good bass/treble. EQ settings in companion app to tweak sound to taste (5 pre-sets & customisable one with 5 sliders. Sound quality matches my QuietComfort Earbuds II & Bose 700 headphones. Clarity & detail on podcasts, music & phone calls good. Each word & instrument clear from sound stage. I’m very particular about sound & report no hums/buzzes, listening on low volume (or with audio input off), & noise-cancelling on. Earbud mics picked up my voice clearly on phone-call, filtering out kitchen noises, but struggled with Alexa alarm. Comfort As well as looking stylish, Earbuds are extremely comfortable to wear & water-resistant! 3 different sizes of soft silicone eartips & stability bands. Selecting appropriate combo to form seal with ear - aids noise-cancelling tech to block unwanted sounds & stops audio leaking out too. Default pre-fitted eartips/stability bands worked well for me! Have to rotate Earbuds slightly, to "lock" in place on ears; neither has fallen out after hours of use! Earbuds are 2g heavier than my current Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II, chunkier & rounder, & protrude slightly more – but just as comfortable! Silicone eartip exerts little pressure on my ear canal. Feels similar to resting finger tip on ear opening! Earbuds reasonably comfortable to sleep in; I sleep on side, & weight of head, pressing Earbud against pillow, doesn't cause it to dig in to me. Noise-Cancellation Impressive noise-cancellation! Noise-cancelling on a par with Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II, & slightly better than Bose 700 headphones & Bose QuietComfort® Earbuds (Confusingly named Bose QuietComfort Earbuds too!) Earbuds’ noise-cancellation blocks repetitive, low frequencies particularly well, e.g. dehumidifiers, dishwashers, washing machines, base-y music, stormy weather. It doesn’t cope as well with higher-pitched, less repetitive sounds, e.g., speech/TV, which are muffled, but not cancelled completely. Earbuds have 3 noise-cancellation modes: Quiet Mode - Full Noise-Cancellation Aware Mode - Hear Surroundings & Audio Off – Noise-Cancellation Off (Saves Battery) Quiet mode is extremely effective, it almost entirely cancels my wife’s CPAP machine noise, meaning I can sleep well! Also, I had to switch from Quiet to Aware mode to know if “silent” dishwasher was on or off; it was on! Aware mode gives exceptional transparency with no distortion of sound. Earbud sensors register if one/both earbuds are being worn. If Earbud removed, sensor will detect & pause audio. A slight issue - my phone alarm didn’t sound in Earbuds, although audio did pause; & noise-cancelling is so good I only realised phone alarm was ringing on checking why music had stopped! Bluetooth Strong Bluetooth signal, easy switching between different devices! Linking Earbuds to my Android phone was simple; with Earbuds in ears, using phone's Bluetooth settings to pair a new device, took 30 seconds. Linking Earbuds to Amazon Firestick, by selecting “Bose QuietComfort Earbuds” from an “Add Bluetooth Devices” sub-sub-menu in Settings, worked seamlessly. Earbuds’ audio synchs perfectly with Firestick video! Once setup, it takes seconds to re-connect Earbuds to phone or Firestick. 5 most recent devices are stored in Earbuds’ device list. List can’t be viewed, only deleted. Earbuds offer convenient multi-point connection feature. This allows 2 active devices to be simultaneously connected by Bluetooth to Earbuds (though only 1 device can play at a time); &, if you stop playing audio on one device, you can immediately play other device's audio in your Earbuds, without pain of re-pairing devices each time. Earbuds use Bluetooth 5.3. Range is excellent - I can leave phone in kitchen & wander apartment with no dropouts/stuttering! Sadly, my microwave oven, when on, interferes with Earbuds' Bluetooth signal, causing audio to break up. Battery Life & Charging Case Solid battery life, speedy Earbuds charging from charging case, additional charge stored in charging case Long battery life is vital for wireless Earbuds, especially if using for sleep. Happily, Earbuds last up to 8½ hours playback on a full charge (My Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II last only 6 hours!). Earbuds’ hard plastic, charging case provides extra battery life, up to 2½ full charges (21+ hours). Case is slightly fiddly to open; front has a tiny LED status light; & small groove, indicating lid opening; rear has USB-C port. The chunky, bean-shape (flat bottom, outwardly sloping sides & curved top) fits awkwardly in hand, & this, plus smooth texture, means I’ve dropped case a few times & scuffed it already! Case is small enough to fit in pocket or bag, but lacks fastening mechanism & can fly open on impact. Magnets orientate & snap Earbuds into correct left/right case charging-slot, with a reassuring click. Earbuds require slight “wrestling” to remove from case. Case status light colour (green, amber or red), & whether it’s solid/pulsing, indicates remaining case charge, or Earbuds charge, depending on whether or not Earbuds are in case, & whether case is powered (via USB-C cable or wireless charging). Status lights are unintuitive, but, usually, green is good! My Earbud batteries haven’t yet fully depleted, & putting them in case, after use, recharges them quickly. Earbuds support fast charging. When batteries drained, 20 minutes charging provides up to 3 hours of power to Earbuds. Up to 1½ hours in case fully recharges Earbuds. 2 hours connected to power fully recharges case, which can charge whilst Earbuds inside are charging! Removing Earbuds from case & positioning correctly in ear, triggers a remaining battery life voice prompt, e.g.: "BATTERY 100%!" Controls & Features Jam-packed with lots of controls & exciting functionality! Earbuds/case have no physical buttons, but various patterns of single/double/triple taps & holds, on touch-sensitive areas on each Earbuds’ rear, allow control of functions, such as noise-cancelling mode, volume, play/pause, & skip. Touch-sensitive areas are highly sensitive - brushing against them can set off unintended actions. Sadly, sensitivity level can't be changed. Touch control combinations are a little tricky to master. Trying to increase volume, I've inadvertently skipped tracks, or changed noise-cancelling mode! Control options can be customised in brand-new Bose QCE app, with a choice of actions, or non-action (Earbuds don’t work with earlier Bose apps). App displays percentage of battery life left for each Earbud, & predicts remaining play/phone time. Earbuds can be used without QCE App, but using App vastly improves experience. Opening App for first time, an Earbuds firmware update message appeared. Easy to follow instructions meant I managed to update firmware quickly without issue. As well as touch controls, you can use phone directly to change things like volume, skip tracks; also can change various Earbuds settings via App. Enabling Voice Control in App (App needs to run in background, along with phone being paired with Earbuds), is another way of controlling Earbuds’ functions. Voice control fairly intuitive, but commands have to be worded precisely. "Hey headphones. [Earbuds Tone] Volume Up." increases volume, but: "Hey headphones. [Earbuds Tone] Increase Volume." does nothing, as it’s unrecognised! Saying: "Hey headphones. [Earbuds Tone] Assistant" & then e.g.: "News Headlines", or "Weather", opens up phone's Assistant (e.g. Google Assistant) & completes requested action. Taking photos “remotely”, using “Hey Headphones” voice command: "Take Photo.", is a cool feature! Sadly, my voice control is temperamental, working for a few minutes before stopping. Going into App Voice Control setting, to toggle off/on, gets it working again, but only for a few minutes. Trying to fix this issue permanently, by stopping "Bose QCE" App from "sleeping", by selecting "Always Allow" option in "Optimise battery usage", in Android phone settings, sadly, didn’t work. Hopefully, Bose will be able to identify a fix soon. I find voice prompts, such as: “BATTERY 100%!!”, “QUI-ETT!!”, “Ah-WARE!!” quite loud & intrusive. Initially, they made me “jump”! Prompt volume can’t be changed. Generally, Earbuds are easy to use, although it’s frustrating when touch controls do their own “thing”, or voice control stops responding! Bose don’t include a physical manual with Earbuds, but there’s a link in App (& also on product page) to 59 page manual (pdf format), which is worth skimming through, as Bose have packed many brilliant features into these Earbuds, & other goodies, like Bose Immersive Audio, are promised soon! My Verdict I'm loving these Earbuds! Delivering high-quality noise-cancellation & sound experiences, they live up to both parts of their name – Quiet & Comfort! Longer battery life, voice control, multipoint connection & wireless charging are welcome improvements over my current Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II. Significantly cheaper than QuietComfort Earbuds II’s replacement (QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds), QuietComfort Earbuds exceeded my expectations, despite technical issues with the voice control feature, which Bose will hopefully fix soon. These are now my go-to noise-cancelling ear-ware! I heartily recommend them!

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Like the buds Bought these based on prior experience with 25 years of other Bose products, like the feel, sound of the buds Bud would have liked to have at least a quick guide to get the buds up and working with my Bluetooth devices. Case in point, I did not know you had to load the Bose app to control the functions, such as volume up volume down on each of the earbuds and assumed right earbud was volume up, and left earbud was volume down. Had to go onto this out. Bose needs to do a better job and providing self instruction videos on their website for new and old products alike.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from The Health Kick Essential Partner. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Hello Everyone, Thanks for checking out my review of the Bose QC in ear headphones! ‘Fitting’ as the title is, I’m currently writing this while at the gym after spending a few weeks with these headphones. In addition to the gym, worth me pointing out what I mainly use the headphones for (and I don’t mean music!), I mean, for the gym, for the city, for the office. So comfort is important to me, but so is image and the general look too. So what do I like about them. Firstly, they are extremely comfortable, the name is therefore apt! After having them in for hours and hours a day, they require minimal adjustment, and in the box you get multiple fitment pieces to get that perfect fit for you. The look and appeal of them are sleek and subtle. A slight down side is sometime people can’t see them in and start taking to me. I don’t mention this to highlight me being an extrovert, rather that the ‘aware’ / ‘quiet’ modes come in handy. The carry case, that also acts as a portable battery charger (so you can store charge in the case to top the headphones up), its small and will happily slide into pockets. I guess on to the important bit, how to they sound. Well, let me tell you a story first. My late father (he died at 56, back in 2015), was surrendered mainly to the house towards the end of his life. So then TV and general audio experience became more and more important. To make that has good as possible, I bought him out first Bose product, a soundbar. I could literally see how this changed his ‘relationship’ with his ‘new life’ in front of the TV. This doesn’t influence my review, I’ve had AirPods, Beats and various other brand headphones - but I tell you this for this for how I value the brand. So how does it sound, brilliant. Crisp and clear - in the majority of environments. Spoiler alert. I really like the headphones. What do I think could be improved, there is a few things. I think the packaging could be improved. You could argue, the packaging is a means to and end. I get it. That said, for many, this is an expensive purchase - so how you receive the box means a lot. I think it could be improved, or we accept it for what it is. The small charger carry case which I said was good above, is. However, I think it feels like cheap plastic. Again, not massive deal, but a more grippy material, that could be customised on Bose website, would really add value to what you carry with you daily. Finally, two things I think could change the game. Firstly, they are small headphones, so easily lost. It would be brilliant to see a ‘find my headphone’ option on the brilliant Bose App. Knowing lots of people who have lost them, this would be a game changing addition. Lastly, I mention the ‘right environment’ above, that’s because in very windy conditions, there is wind noise in the headphones. I had the same with my QC45 over ear headphones, which ‘forced me’ (what I told the wife) to upgrade to Bose Ultra over ear. Does it make them unbearable / unusable, no… could it be improved, I think so. Overall, Bose as a brand has changed my life. They have allowed me to see my father happy, they enhance my audio experience, and have become a gym partner taking me through the hard slogs. I think the headphones as brilliant, and offer clarity to music and podcasts, in such a small and mobile package. Good luck with your search for your perfect companion, but do consider the Bose QC in ear to spend your time with.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Comfortable and great sound. Super easy review because these are probably the best earbuds that I've ever used. They feel super light and I an wear them all day at work around the office and my ears don't get tired. They also have an aware feature that actually allows me to hear everything going on around me too. The sound quality is as amazing as you'd expect from Bose, and these are cool because you can customize the sound settings a lot through the app. Finally, they look amazing and have a nice finish, and the battery life is great. I've gone a few days on a single charge. One thing is the case doesn't easily fit in my pockets, so I have to put them in my bookbag or gym bag, but I'm hoping to get a case soon with a hook or carabiner.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Small yet mighty! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using these for almost 4 weeks now and I am very impressed by these. They are cheaper than the BOSE QUIETCOMFORT ULTRA EARBUDS yet, the sound quality is on parr in my opinion. The case material could be improved to have more grip along with a softer closing mechanism but that’s my preference. I used these on a 3 hour flight recently, in my woodworking shop, on long walks in the countryside and on shopping trips in town; the sound quality is truly what is expected from Bose. The app certainly delivers and the fact that I can customise the functions/ taps makes it more personal and practical. If this suits your budget, I would strongly recommend these earbuds.
