The Bose QuietComfort Earbuds deliver best-in-class active noise cancellation, rich sound quality, and a comfortable fit, making them a significant upgrade over the SoundSport Free. Minor drawbacks include the lack of on-board volume control, a bulky charging case, and limited battery life.

“For noise canceling, the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds should be among the first earbuds you look at.”

“Thanks to their completely redone design, the QuietComfort Earbuds are free from the frustrations that came with the SoundSport Free buds. They still sound terrific — and now, they’ve got ANC.”

“The relatively affordable QuietComfort Earbuds don’t have the same stunning active noise cancellation as more expensive Bose offerings, but they still sound great and cancel noise quite well for the price.”

“If you can get past the aesthetic, heft, and ergonomics of the Bose QuietComfort buds, you will enjoy them.”
