00:00 Bose QC II after 300 days...
00:53 Pros
04:02 Cons - Věda a technologie
An earlier version of this video said the QC II has multipoint. It still doesn’t as of now. Thanks for watching this revised version! 🎉
I commented as you deleted it. 😉
I can connect to several devices, it will not switch automatically but I don't have to re-pair every time. That's good enough for me. Not sure if that's true "multi-point" or not since I've not messed with this stuff since having to unpair and re-pair my old devices so this is a huge improvement already for me.
@@goldblade84 It is not Multipoint (why did you not read up on it instead of posting) and nearly every model I have owned even pre TWS can do that, some can remember 8 devices?
It's possible to add multipoint feature via software update?
Great reviews as always. Would consider reviewing the Noble Fokus Mystique please!?
very nice video man :) so the call quallity is bad ?
Great to see a follow up review. I think the QCII's are great but only when I travel. For daily use, they are too fussy and I often reach for my Pixel Buds pro.
Why do you say they are fussy?
@@kazmiee When I say fussy, I am mainly referring to the Bose app. It's always giving me problems no matter what device I use them on.
The Beats Powerbeats Pro also allow full controls on both earbuds separately and they have tactile buttons so no swiping. I appreciated you mentioning this feature of the Bose QC II as I am looking for a newer pair of earbuds and the Beats Fit Pro do not have volume control native to the earbud. A key feature in my use case. Thanks for the detail!!
I just went back from the WF1000MX5s. The MX5 tick alot of boxes, better sound, but something about the Bose feels secure and safe, I dont know how to explain it. And I love how they handle ANC.
Same here
hey man, nice review ! i love how detailed it is. you mentioned you run 30min and sweat a lot. thats me, i tend to sweat a lot even if im warming up. just wanna ask if this is reliable for sweaty person or sweatproof? i run 45- 1 hr a day . thanks !
For what it’s worth I have the QC1, and they are basically perfect for exercise, and I sweat like a pig
@@xouatappreciate the reply ! thanks
Have you tried the QC 45? Do these block out as much noise as the QC45?
Did you experience any connection issues with these? I have an iPhone 14 Pro, had to return my first pair because I had problems with pairing sometimes. Got a new pair, and had the problem twice (not a huge deal, but I’m wondering if it’s like a product wide problem)
Just got them for 200 bucks at Costco and honestly can't imagine anything I would improve or change. These are a great pair of earbuds for the price.
Should i get this or LG Tone Free T90?
Which is the best Anc and enc support tws
Had these for two weeks and I won’t ever go back to anything else. My favorite has been Beats by Dre especially the wireless earbuds with the wingtips. I finally lost my third pair because they kept falling out of my ear and decided to try a different brand. The sound quality is awesome, they stay in my ears, and the gut is very comfortable. Everyone is talking how bulky the case is but I love that. Easier to not lose them.
my wing tip ripped beats fit pro have to throw them in the trash since the wing tip is not replaceable... had to get these bose ultra quiet fit and the sound is awesome when u add the equalizer
Why is everyone so obsessed with multipoint? I don't really see such a big need for it, as you can still switch easily between devices. I have my Bose QC2 earbuds paired with my iPhone and my Garmin Fenix 5X, on which I store my running music. So let's say I am listening to Spotify on the iPhone. Now, I decide to go running, so I stop Spotify and press "play" on the Garmin. That's all. I don't remove the earbuds, I don't press any button on the case or on the earbuds, it really ist just one click on "play" on the Garmin Fenix. 2 seconds later, I hear the "dropped connection" tone as the QC2 kick out the iPhone, and another 2 seconds later I hear another tone and see "Earphones connected" on the Garmin and can enjoy my run. What would multipoint do? Save me 4 seconds of waiting time?
In all fairness, when I am done with my run, there is one extra step since the Garmin doesn't *stop* audio playback but only *pauses* it. I can see that the QC-2 appear in my phone's bluetooth list as "connected", but I can't use them yet. So in this case, I go into the Bose App, which tells me that the earbuds are still connected to Garmin. With the push of a button I can tell them to disconnect and come back to the iPhone. I don't think that this is too much trouble, really...
Which earbuds u recommend for teams calling (office use)
Nice video Aaron. I bought the Bose QC II buds a few months ago and never looked back. I bought them specifically for the ANC. and BOY was I not disappointed. I have many sets of top tier buds and NOTHING comes close to the ANC on these babies. THESE are the first EAR buds I have ever owned that are competitive with MY SONY and BOSE OVER the ear headphones. I love all the rest of the features as well. The Sound and Call Quality is very good. I have no complaints except I would've liked multipoint connection. I'm thinking maybe there was no room for that tech since TOP tier ANC tech was obviously the priority for these buds. Since I have received the Bose Buds they are my NO 1 go to buds with their TOL ANC .....and nothing comes close.
you just became the nail in the coffin of me getting this pair. just wondering, have you tried the air pods pro 2 and the wh1000xm5 (the full cans)
💕👍 for your test...
off topic: had the qc 1, lost the charging case, bose don’t sell it separately,
that’s why qc’s to me now no go ....
Bose introduces replacement for this buds: QC earbuds ultra. What do you think? Is this mean they will never get buds II updated
And they need to include XS ear tips. Thanks Aaron
Compare with newest qc ultra please
Aaron: I have a major question. I've bought some other wireless earbuds, including Sonys, the only thing I do not like about them, is that in general, with wireless I can never
seem to get any real power or volume out of them via my iPhone 15Plus (or any wireless device). Do the Bose offer some extra power or volume when using an smartphone?
Or are you still limited to the power and volume from the phone? I mainly use a portable wired rig for most of my listening, which is a Fiio X1 player (lossless), a new IFI XCan
headphone amp, and either some great wired earbuds or my Sennheiser or Beyer over the ear full headphones. I find the sound with wired and the amp is superior to almost
anything else. I know wireless is more for convenience. I heard good things about the Bose, but I'm worried the power amp level will still suck. Why can't these mfgrs
come up with a good headphone amp built in to the device, or the phone, so you don't even need a carry around head amp?
I've gone through the airpod pros, momentum 2 (the worst), Sony and Samsung. The bose has the best sound and battery life. As a audio professional I have set the eq to test mixes. Not expecting reference mix sound but a general test as what would sound like for wireless buds. Also the noise cancellation is incredible for travelling.
Best battery life? XM5s are 8 with ANC, 12 without. And there's the lack of wireless charging . As an audio specialist, isn't this something you should know??
what are your eq settings?
@@DCPhabyou should also know that model of sony has been reported to SIGNIFICANTLY drain, like after a year alot of people are reporting only 5 minute battery life and sony refusing to fix it under warranty..
@@cambrelenmedia-nyc1176fact!
I find the Airpods Pro to be incredibly uncomfortable, painful in fact. The Bose QC1’s were extremely comfy…are the QC2’s also so comfy?
It’s been more than a year for my QC2 The volume level has gone down.. first the left one was low……then the right …
Any solution? How do u clean ur buds ?
When they work they are great, but I had already 2 pairs fail on me where one bud suddenly got a lot quieter.
Fantastic review. I only disagree with the call quality review. I have not had any problems with call quality. I own both the Apple Airpods Pro 2 and the Bose QC 2 earbuds and have had no issues with call quality.... the ANC is second to none on the Bose and they do not fall off my ears as do the apple ones.
Will you be doing a review on the Bose QC2 earbuds ultra? would love your perspective and understanding the differences between the sound of the current vs the ultra versions, now that "spatial audio" has been added
How's the call quality outdoors?
I wouldn't call them reliable as I had problems with them not connecting to my phone, losing connection and some cases not even turning on when I take them off the case and bose replaced them once for me and i still had the same problem with the replacement earbuds and now they are replacing them with the bose ultra so hopefully they have fixed these problems.
Can anyone tell me, if I use my Bose Qc2 earbuds with an airplane low latency Bluetooth adapter, watching in flight movies, will I get bad latency due to my Bose not having low latency codecs?
5:37 - YES ! The fact you can't turn off ANC is crazy, impossible to ride a bike or run or even walk in a windy environment with the QCII. They're probably doing that preserve SQ as the sound can change a lot without ANC. Hopefully the new Ultras won't have that problem.
What about transparency mode?
If I had known this before buying I would never have bought these headphones. NEVER.
So I tried the Ultras, same problem, I sent them back
thank you for preparing many subtitles!
You're welcome 😊
Have had these for a couple of months by now. I only wish these had better call quality and connection stability like the AirPods Pro 2 and having wireless charging would’ve been the icing on the cake. But, even without those betterments, this is still the best of the lot (by quite a margin actually) when it comes to audio quality, stability, comfort (ohhh can barely feel them even after long hours of usage especially since it doesn’t plunge itself into the canal like all the other titans) and indeed The Worlds Best ANC.
Can you elaborate on connectivity? I own some b&o beoplay ex which, are the most expensive on the market and have had nothing but issues mainly down to connectivity. Strongly debating taking them back!
Are you using a Samsung or iPhone? Do they crackle, pop and cut out at all? Thankyou!
@@Ackz89 I’m using iPhone with these. As for the connectivity, these can connect to 8 different devices separately. I use the switch at the back of the case to toggle between devices with the earbuds placed inside them and the case in opened position. Best to have the app installed in devices and have it opened to show the status and for smooth connection initiation. As for the connection quality, I sure have experienced occasional dropouts, one side muted situations, slight lag between 2 ears etc. but these were strictly like a one time thing and never happened twice. Not sure what’s happening there. These are terrible for calls but I still use them on a daily basis for the sheer joy of music listening, sound quality, comfort and above all else, the ANC.
Powerbeats Pro also allow you to control vol, calls, forward, and back with just one buds
Very true, the only thing is that they don't have ANC. I hope they make an ANC version one day. I'll immediately buy them
The QC II is my favorite to be honest for travel and everyday use. The BO is my favorite for music playing.
I too keep using the QC II. Not the very best sound, no multipoint but the noise cancelling is far better than any other earbuds I have.
Out of the box I thought these sounded kinda lackluster and significantly worse than my Sony XM3's, but after fiddling around with some settings on the phone (and not their crappy app), I got them to sound pretty amazing. Biggest difference was turning in the 360 audio upmix, but I think only Sony phones have that option.
Haha this is so funny , because I have an XM3 and did the exact same thing and I do have the exact same thing to say 😂
Bro can you please provide your settings here ?
Bose will release QC Ultra this year. So we will see the improvements. Price around 350 euro
true..i love it.. it's still has the best ANC in the market.💜
Hey, can uou help me with choosing earbuds? I cant buy them and return because its imposible in europe because of law :(
Bose qc2 or linkbuds s.
Price ofc cheaper is better but I can afford both.
Looking for good anc for public transport (wind including) and gym (hate hearing thomping while running etc).
Im using ios and android from time to time.
Case size doesnt matter.
Prices in my country:
Bose 230$
Sony 132$
Or maybe beats studio buds plus? 203$
I was using galaxy buds 2, but they dont have ios software compability. Also had noble audio fokus h anc but anc had some problems and i get money back.
I would be very grateful
I own the Bose QC II Ultra earbuds and I have to disagree with you about sound quality. Of course, Bose improved the sound quality with the Ultra update. I find the sound quality stunning when I compare it to my other three sets of earbuds, Bose NC 700 over-ear headphones, and my surround sound speaker system. Not even the Bose NC 700s cover as much audio range as these earbuds. The treble, mid-range and bass are just superb, and the sound stage is amazing. What is so much better than any other headphones I have used is the pristine clarity of the treble, mid-range and bass frequencies. Bose keeps them completely separate, while Sony mixes them together in a muddy mess of sound cacophony. The QC II Ultras have the capability of playing the most delicate highs while still maintaining full control of the deepest, most forceful, violent lows. When you listen to bands or orchestras, the QC II Ultras, you can pick out every specific instrument and every individual vocal performer. The NC 700s are also superb at this, but the QC II Ultra earbuds are more open and have a little bit more clarity. That is an amazing accomplishment for a set of earbuds compared to a set of very high-quality, over-ear headphones.
Another reviewer stated if using only one earbud, and of course the other one will be in the case, needs to stay open. If the case is closed the connection is lost, something along those lines....?!
Has anyone else had earwax stuck in the earphones itself, to the point where the sound quality has been impacted? Anyone know how to clean?
Would love to hear your thoughts on QC earbuds II firmware. Many users report newer firmware has made performance significantly worse. True?
True. Firmware 1.3.26 injected many new bugs and ruined the sound profile.
Hello...
Is noise cancellation better than sony products? Does it generate some kind of white noise to block out sounds?
Latest firmware does inject white noise floor sound. You can hear it when no music
Considering getting one of these, after apple ruined airpods pro 2 anc through some firmware updates
I’ve used many headphones and Bose so far have the best ANC / sound. Best fit
I bought these on a 90 day trial from Bose. I also bought the liberty 3 pros on a 30 day trial. I returned the Bose.
I tried them for a couple of days, they were amazing. but they have a chemical in the plastic called acrylate which causes an allergic reaction in my ear skin. till now I am struggling to find an earbud which doesnt irritate my ear skin, i've tried galaxy buds 2 pro, 2, pixel buds 2 pro, airpods pro 2. do you have any recommendation for a noise cancelling earbuds that doesnt cause an allergic reaction in the ears? thanks
Does Silicone irritate your skin? If not, try the first Bose QC earbuds. They're larger but the tips are designed so that only silicone contact your skin.
@@aaronloudnwireless no it doesnt, thanks for the recommendation, i will try them out
Try lg
@@saichandradesu3973 which one?
You also can’t turn off touch control, the slightest touch pauses or skips your music to the next song
For the price, I feel they are ripping us off I've only received one update, never another one. Constant consideration issues I had to send mine back for a new pair hopefully they work better. Bose has the best-sounding earbuds out there I've tried them all. Apple Samsung JBL and Beats. For the price updates should make these superior. So disappointing. 😮
I have many different earbuds, and these are still my favorites. For me it is the noise cancelling which is so far ahead of the others.
how much better is it than the xm5? ANC is the only thing i care about, and i was really disappointed with the xm5s
I have had the QC iis for around 300 days too. It still keeps its 1st team slot on my lineup, for the same reasons you listed. S-tier in ANC, transparency and fit/comfort. Multipoint, wireless charging etc are all things that can be worked around. Call quality sucks, agree, so i add other headsets to my lineup so I don't have to use the QC ii for calls. I would also add that the connectivity of the buds to the android app is trash also.
What do you use your calls instead?
@@michalkollar3536 I use the shokz opencomm or the shokz openfit. Both are just as light and easy to carry
Hello! Is the ANC of this compare to Apple AP pro2? I never experienced something better until now...
@@Jonnies_Plays It's better, slightly. If you use iphone by all means stick with APP2
@@michalkollar3536 If you can find the Sennheiser Presence at a reasonable price, you would be happy with the call experience. Being that it is an earpiece dedicated to phone calls, call quality is the best on the market.. You will just have to make an $8 upgrade to ear gummy to make them perfect. Be advised, you will get some awkward stares because you're wearing a mono earbud in 2023. But it still looks better than having that white q-tip hanging from your ear. I have a video about the upgrade I made to my Presence.
Alot of reviews on amazon and other places mention problems with Bluetooth connectivity on these. They say the connection keeps dropping out. It's the only thing stopping me buying them. Has anyone has any experience with this?
I've had them for almost a month now and haven't has anny issue with the connection to my phone (i use an android phone S22).
Hope this helps you :)
@@alejandrodelangel thanks!
I got these and think that the sound is absolutely fantastic. And I have IEMs and AirPods , Samsungs, Liberty, Sonys and others. The Bose sound the best. But it’s not perfect.. false multi pairing( can’t use two devices at the same time) and phone call in busy places aren’t as good as it should be.
Question: I always hear about how bad the Bose are since the update for not connecting. I have no problem since the update. Do you have thoughts?
Actually, neither do I, but will continue to monitor it
Mine never fail connecting wise and why would someone want so many earbuds blimey
My QCIIs were my best earbuds ever, a huge upgrade vs the QC, destroying the TW3 in ANC. I decided to upgrade to the Sony XM5 as all reviews said they have now the next ANC. What a lie and a ripoff. The ANC is just in par with the TW3, sound is meh and I regret not going back to Bose. 😢
Aaron X Loud and Wireless! Thanks Much !.......+
Thanks!
Well you got alot of attention because of them so you should like them. :D The ultra's are amazing as well! Some tracks are truely mesmerizing in the immersive mode.
Hi dear... Which earbuds sound better between bose qc 2 and bose qc ultra?
Bose qc ultra
@@Johnfkennedyoficial thank you for the reply
Can anyone tell me how to turn off the noise cancellation mode?? It either stays on quite or aware
you can’t
Coming from the sony xm4's to these feel somewhat of a downgrade to me. I might have to go buy another pair of mx4's
Not being able to turn off ANC was a deal breaker for me. When it's windy out, the ANC makes the music sound so terrible and crackly.
I switched to the QC2 a couple of months ago from Jabra Elite 7 Active. Except for the ANC I still prefer the Jabra. What annoys me most is that QC2 often don't connect on their own properly and that ANC on a scooter with wind doesn't work at all (so much wind noise I cannot hear anything). Also with the Jabra I could sleep super well because they are small and don't have touch buttons. My QC2 stop whenever I lie my head down on my arm as side sleeper or whenever my small daughter touches my head randomly and hits the earbuds. I'm more frustrated than happy with them. I only switched to Bose because the plastic cover of my Jabras fell off after 2 months because of ear humidity destroying the glue inside. And I never found support from Jabra on Bali.
Why would anyone use earbuds when going to sleep. Also why use earbuds at home? I don’t get it. I have nice speakers at home and nice headphones too. But I wouldn’t isolate myself in noise cancelling headphones with the family around. You’re supposed to socialise with the family, not ignore them.
This is exactly what I would be comparing these two earbuds over. I would like to have the Jabras because of their strengths where the Bose earbuds are weak. The Bose earbuds look incredible, seem like they have a good fit, and seem like they have good ANC and sound quality. But for exercise or laying in bed, I would want the simple features Jabra has to offer.
@@victorfernandes83you're not supposed to socialize while you sleep
@@victorfernandes83I want to use some sort of earbuds for sleeping as I live in Asia and the dogs, roosters etc wake me up in the early hours of the morning, I mean really early. But I’ve not found any that do this, I guess I will just have to keep looking
What a judgemental fool you are. For people who work nights and have to sleep in the day is just one example of why you might want to sleep with headphones on.
You're a fool.
I can’t get rid of the thumping sounds when I run that my previous Bose did not have. Walking is ok. I find myself using my older Bose that don’t have this noise distraction.
I had the same problem. QC-1 no thumping, QC-2 and QC-Ultra: thumping. Regardless of which ear tip size or ring size I tried. I almost wanted to return my QC-2 because of that. Until I found out that the problem is partly related to my running style. If I change my stride a bit and try to land more softly on the ground, then there is no thumping. And I feel that this running style is better for my posture and easier on the bones. So now I am actually thankful that Bose prompted me to work on my running technique and forced me to improve it.
@user-ty6ze4lx3r Interesting what you found out. I will give it a try. I am not sure we should have to change our stride or running style for Bose. I was just getting ready to buy the Ultra hoping that was fixed but your comment that it happens with Ultra to I may wait. I just want them to work like the first series. Can't figure out what Bose changed on QC II and Ultra. Thanks for your reply.
Still no update. I doubt the Bose team has forgotten about this product.
Good Clip Aaron. I have both the QC2 and the Sony XM4. I upgraded QC2 with alternate Bose extras small wing tip but also with Comply Foam Ear Tips for Sony TrueWireless WF-1000XM4. I sorta fell upon a hack. With that hack. It increase the noise cancellation and fit perfectly. Also with Bose alternate sizing kit I took eartip of the kit and apply it on the XM4. Actually the large ear tip is perfect on XM4. The Bose eartip give it that perfect air tight seal. So by using the comply foam tip for xm4 on the Bose QC2 and using Bose ear tip on XM4 I found that XM4 has better fit call quality and noise cancellation to be better than QC2. That’s just my opinion.
To hop on the XM4 Sony release a software update today. It might improve the sounds a bit. Look into that
True review
Do you experience Bluetooth issues like many CZcamsr describe (sound switching from left to right, no anc until took back and out of the case again etc.)? And if so, is there a difference between android and iOS devices? That’s what makes me hesitate to get one of these prime deals in them…
I have them. Don’t know why but with the iPhone 14 they sound mutch better that with my google pixel 7 pro… sound is mutch better with apple
Bose qc 2 block loud music in my gym like it’s nothing so happy with them
Headphone & earbud collector here! Have had the qc ii's since launch day. I've had the same galaxy fold 3 for two years now. With that said, anyone thinking on the qc ii's:
If you have a top end android, you will love these headphones. Any folks experiencing Bluetooth issues probably are using older phones. I have had quite literally, not a single connectivity issue in 300 days now.
Secondly, the ANC is BETTER than my Sony XM5 over the ear headphones. I don't know what kind of magic they did, but you literally cannot hear sounds from the outside world once you place these guys in your ear and turn on anc. For example, air plane noise can still be somewhat heard through the XM5s (too a degree) but on my Bose QC II, it's just silence once you turn them on.
Third, the sound: THESE ARE KING (when it comes to earbuds). The sound stage is so wide, I can tell where different instruments are coming from. The bass is clear, deep but not rumbly where it distorts the actual mids.
Drawbacks: no multipoint. It's not a big deal, especially if you already daily multiple headphones/earbuds. And no, it's not great on calls. But again, if you daily multiple earbuds, it's not a big deal.
For those looking for a one & done: you can get A tier headphones for $150 and S tier for $220. These guys still top those prices, thus I can only recommend to those needing total silence in terms of ANC with amazing sound to back it up.
Do you think you could sleep in the QC II ? I mean listen to music while drowning out dogs and roosters in the early hours of the morning ?
Your voice volume level is a little low on my laptop. I don't suppose you could boost it?
they sounded bad but i restarted my macbook and they sound really good now
They always disconnecting from the smartphone...
I really don't know how to fix it..
My right QC2 bud often disconnects after using it for an hour or so. I don't know why , the software is uptodate
Known issue in latest firmware. Simply put them in the case for a second. It will reconnect afterwards
@@mordechai8008 I'll try, Thanks!
@@mordechai8008 thanks , it is however disappointing if you consider the price of the QC2. I don't have any software problem with Soundpeats and Soundcore earbuds which are much cheaper
They can go through the washing machine too.
I have a number of ANC earbuds and keep coming back to the Bose and AirPods. After testing 6 different replacement tips I’ve found tips that make the AirPods equal or a tiny bit better in ANC. The inability to have 3rd party replacement tips is a negative, for me, for the Bose buds. Plus the Bose QC II seem picky if lying down in terms of losing ANC. Lastly I have an IPhone and the automatic integration of the AirPods seals the deal for me. That said I’ll still purchase the “next greatest ANC” earbuds when they come out - but only after watching your review.
Aye.. For a while it seemed that there werent third party tips for the Bose, but there are now.
@@aaronloudnwireless Really? Now I need to try those!! Where can I find them? I have spent a lot of money buying and testing Airpod replacement tips

Please compare the mic to the new Sony XM5's. I really need earbuds with good mics and because I'm on Android, Apple is out. :(
Bose=apple
@@germanguy1219 what does that mean?
@@cooluser23 they are made for apple. Look out for codec. Bose has aac and SBC codec. Especially AAC is mutch mutch mutch better with iPhones. Actually andoirds support aac too, but they are shit with AAC. So you get mutch less sound with andoird on this in ears. SBC is just trash 🗑️.
I just tried the Bose qc2 with a iPhone 14 pro and with the Google pixel 7 pro. The sound with the iPhone is mutch mutch better in details for example.
The Bose are not bad tbh, but the details with the iPhone nailed the sound
Still no LDAC or Aptx for these?
Nope

Thank you for this review, Call quality is the #1 thing for me, is gonna be a no for me, I will go with the L4 NC because of the fearures and the Price.
What’s the L4 NV?
@@zydecorebel NV? I wrote L4 NC, those are the Liberty 4NC from Soundcore.
Wired apple earphones are still the best in call quality.
Am I only one or the Occlusion in these is too much when commuting in bus and the ANC doesn't work when I shut a car door
No product now can cancel sudden loud noises like a car door. Here's more info about how ANC works czcams.com/video/YDwiy2x3-mo/video.html
I agree you can not cancel that but QC2 adds its own clap sound which is annoying. It's a known issue when commuting via bus.
The Bose QC IIs work so poorly with every Google TV powered device I have ever tried it on, and that’s at least 5 different devices. I really don’t understand how it can work fine on every other device. I can’t even get the bluetooth to stay connected if the Chromecast is literally right by my head. I have to resort to using my old Sony XM3 earbuds, and the noise cancelling on the Sony buds is just terrible.
1 more Con is no high quality codecs like Aptx Adaptive or LDAC
My charging case get damage. And a new one cost 100 bucks piece of junk.
if i see hi-res on a headphone box i steer clear of it hi-res sucks
I bought these QC2 headphones and find them tragic. I also have the Sony WF1000XM4, which work perfectly in every way. What about the Bose? It has a little better ANC and that's all it has and beyond that: constant problems with the headphone software, random disconnection of the headphones from the phone. NO option to turn off ANC completely!!! This is some drama. Weaker batteries, shoddy plastic. Bose company mentally and technologically stayed in the 20th century. They can't write working software for their products or get them technically right. No more BOSE headphones. There are many products on the market that have equally good or better sound. But the QC2's faults are not worth getting tired of with these headphones.
It was the best ive used but i didnt hold on to it. Its a very buggy earbuds. Cant even add another device to this.

I think they’re crap. Bose is USING apples model of industrial ‘obsolescence’.
Each model, and there are loads, changes the case. And charger so if you lose and earbud, you have to buy a new set of a new model. The biggest risk is not malfunction, but loss.
This new II is a pain. The touch sensitive is over the top so if you brush them incidentally or put you head on a pillow, whatever yr listening to jumps ahead to the next show/song, video or podcast. It’s total jerk around.
The rubber bits are flimsy and easily come off.
Most buds have good sound these days so best save yr $$ and buy a cheaper version in another brand.
Last ever purchase from Bose. (Bloody Overpaid Sales Engineers).
The noise cancellation is the same. The earlier version was better. This is a backwards step and for over $400 it’s a joke.
The software interface is clunky to set up and I still can’t load it to adjust the sound.
I never thought I'd say this one day, but the Airpod Pro 2 is better value than the Bose, even for someone who uses an Android smartphone 🤦🏽♂️
Is cost a key driver that brings you to that conclusion?

And especially the price, $250 vs $300
@@rolins3279 Thanks for the thorough comparison! I appreciate your thoughts. While I do love the AirPods, I completely lucked out and bought the Bose for $120 brand-new on the Lenovo website. So, I think for $120 I can live with some of the drawbacks.
@@rolins3279 I think you will find, if you use second party tips on the Airpod Pro 2s (see my post above for the options) I think you will find the ANC is at least equal to the Bose QC2.
The airpods has a superior call quality even on Android. Same level of ANC. Juat cheaper.
1 Con you missed is find my buds.
These are the worst earbuds someone can ever make or design. Fit wise it's good but quality wise it's pathetic. Try using them for calls etc
Bose QC2 not worth the money. Bose ANC is the best but that’s the only positive I can say about this product. Bose needs a new design team. The headphone themselves are clunky and antiquated design. I went back to Beats and the ANC is comparable. Didn’t notice much difference.
Which beats?
Microphone is so bad like the others
Your cons are pointless. If you spend more time on the phone than listening to music , what does that tell you? These are for music.
How's the call quality outdoors? I'm interested in getting premium earbuds for ANC and the mic quality.
Am I first?
Yes you are dam it lol
These headphones are so bad
ihad the bose qc 2 to they sound peitty good and good deep bass. and i am happy eith it.
Both AirPods Pro 2 and Bose QCII same price in amazon prime day sale. Which would you go for ? My primary focus is fit/comfort, connectivity & transparency for gym use.
Got both, transparency is a bit better on the airpods.
Fit is better on QCII, they feel really safe
Comfort is personal preference
No real connection issues with any of them
ANC quite a bit better on the QCII
@@orepoutanes Thank you for your feedback! Secure fit and comfort is paramount. I hope the active transparency performs well enough.
Do you have an overall preference between both?
@@Gekko858 not really depends on the day :P
Also the airpods got wireless charging but i never wireless charge them eitherway :D
The one thing that airpods have if you use them with iphones is the option to find the case if you lose it, they got a speaker
