With the default tips and stability bands installed, I found them incredibly comfortable.īut the QCE II lack wireless charging, a strange omission considering the first-gen model had this feature and cost less too (Bose introduced them at $279). It’s still bulky when compared to the Apple AirPods Pro, Sony WF-1000XM4, Pixel Buds Pro, and Jabra Elite 7 Pro, but you can now (just) fit it in your pocket.
Without the press-button latch, it’s way easier to open even if you run a slightly increased risk of having it open accidentally. The large, locking clamshell from the first generation has been replaced with a smaller, rounded, flip-top design that looks a little like the Google Pixel Buds Pro case, albeit still substantially larger. Everything about them is smaller and lighter, including the charging case.
If you generally liked the design of the first-gen QuietComfort Earbuds but found them a bit bulky - as we did when we reviewed them - the new model is a big step in the right direction. Instead, Bose wants you to download and use the Bose Music app for iOS and Android, which is designed to walk you through the setup, in addition to providing a variety of settings and customizations. What you won’t find in the fully recyclable cardboard box is any kind of real instructions. In addition to the QuietComfort Earbuds II (or QCE II), their charging case, and a short USB-C charging cable, you’ll also find two extra sizes of oval silicone eartips and what Bose calls “stability bands” - small silicone gaskets that fit around the body of the earbuds to give a more secure fit. What’s in the box? Simon Cohen / Digital Trends But there’s more to a set of noise-canceling wireless earbuds than just ANC - a lot more - so let’s see how the QuietComfort Earbuds II stack up, and if they should be your next wireless earbuds. That might be enough to win the company a lot of return business in the form of upgrades, and possibly some new customers too.
