Product details

More peak sound begins with more silence. That’s why the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds are equipped not only with groundbreaking acoustic innovations but also with the world’s most effective noise cancellation. The acoustic components have been carefully designed to deliver rich deep tones and a remarkably lifelike sound while the world is silenced. This allows you to hear even the smallest sound details – for example, the singer's breath before the next line of lyrics or the strumming of strings on an acoustic guitar. No matter what volume you prefer: music, videos, and voices always sound balanced, as Bose's volume-optimized Active EQ technology automatically adjusts the bass and treble. Whether for music, videos, or podcasts, the completely wireless earbuds provide an impressive sound experience.

... In terms of sound, Bose has gone to a lot of trouble to achieve the most neutral tuning possible. They succeeded in doing so, and the earbuds do not use any gimmicks in the bass or treble. The ANC worked excellently! It can be adjusted via the app or on the earpieces, up to a transparency mode in which environmental noise is clearly perceived.

    Wireless headphones in the test Better without cables, say many headphone buyers. Bluetooth headphones do not require a connection cable - there are no more trip hazards. There are models in the classic design of a headphone with a headband and, as an alternative, in-ear headphones - tiny in size, but not in sound...

    • NegativeSound seems slightly artificial
    • NegativeSilicone attachments too short for some ears

    The Bose QC Earbuds are wireless in-ear headphones with very good active noise cancellation (ANC) in the test. The great sound is spatial and clear, but in places it seems a little too cool and unnatural. Due to the rather short ear inserts, the Earbuds can lead to an itchy feeling. The price of just under 220 euros is justifiable in view of the performance offered.

    Bose retains its title as the top dog among noise cancellers. After the outstanding over-ear model, the in-ear in true-wireless format also shows the full class of the Americans. Powerful sound and excellent noise cancelling. The only thing Bose needs to improve is the size.
