BoseQuietComfort Ultra Wireless Noise Cancelling In-Ear Earbuds, Bluetooth Noise Cancelling Earbuds with Spatial Audio and World-Class Noise Cancellation, Moonstone Blue - Limited Edition

I mostly use these buds when walking my doggo in the mornings (missus is still in bed, so this is "me time") and they're what our friends across the pond would call a "game changer".They fit my ears really well, haven't fallen out or even needed shoving back in a bit and they do this without feeling tight. Perfectly comfortable even after wearing them for over an hour and a half (yes, doggo gets a good walk in the morning). These are most comfortable buds I've ever used.When I use them on the bike, they stay in place, even when I've got a dab on.Sound wise they're pretty damned good. There is a saying, "No highs, no lows, they must be Bose" but that isn't a criticism I would level at these; good frequency response with no noticeable bumps or dips. I thought the one cymbals on Hotel California were a little messy and had to listen to the track on my main hifi... the messiness is on the track! :)Now for the best bit, the noise cancellation can only be described as "WTF?". Very impressive!The raucous noise of the pub near closing time fades into a background murmur.Humming and clicking noises of the office almost disappear completely.Traffic noise is almost completely eliminated. On a dog walk a few days ago, I felt the ground shaking and thought "What, is this an earthquake?" then the lorry passed me. I nearly jumped out of my skin!No more noise than a breath of wind... incredible.Can't wait to wear these on my next long haul flight, bring your screaming babies on board, I don't care!Another plus with noise cancelling is that you can listen to music at a much lower volume and still hear it all.Controls are standard stuff, 1 tap to play, pause and answer calls. 2 taps to skip a track or hang up a call but with these you swipe up and down to control the volume. Piece of cake.Press and hold to change noise cancelling modes. I always opt for "Immersion".If I had to nit-pick, I'd say they could go up a little louder, but then I've got old fart's ears and am probably going a bit mutton. Also, the app has a bit of trouble connecting to them sometimesOverall I'm mightily impressed, well Done Bose.Fab gear!

Sound quality is excellent as ever with Bose Headphones. The spatial sound whilst listening to Apple Music is brilliant. Really immersive sound and so clear.I also use them for calls. The quality of the calls is better than the previous versions but I have had to stop using them in louder offices because the sound around me is captured for other people on the call. I am always muted on Teams calls by others, which isn’t great.The fit comfort is good and the band around it doesn’t turn around like the Earbuds II did. That is really Bose fixing a bug as it is a definite design flaw in the previous version.I have never had an issue with the build quality or the charging speed of the headphones. It lasts a 3 hour trip without an issue.

DO NOT BUY THESE EARBUDS!Please, I am doing you a favour, save your money and mental health.Most of these earbuds will be faulty and you will experience connectivity issues, static and crackling noises and loud thumping noises that will ruin any attempt to enjoy your audio content.I received my pair and within a week I was no longer able to use then due to connectivity issues. As a workaround, I chose to delete the Bose app which fixed the problem but left you with limited control, basically rendering the products capabilities. It's a premium and expensive product, you should not have to find workarounds to use it.Soon after, I started experiencing loud thumping noises that were unbearable: if you're using public transportation, exercise or even walk, you will hear these noises. There is no fix or workaround for this.Three weeks into using them, the right earbud started making a static noise and at this point they were basically useless. These issues are experienced by many, many customers who regret purchasing this product: please check r/Bose on Reddit and you will see.Instead of returning them I decided to contact Bose customer service who agreed for a replacement which took over 6 weeks to arrive, despite them saying it will take between 1 and 3 weeks. Also, my original unit was Moonstone Blue but Bose customer service said that since those were limited edition and no longer in stock, I must choose one of the basic colours and I ended up with a colour I never would've chose in the first place.I received my replacement after a long wait and guess what? Issues again, crackling noises in the right earbud, the same connectivity problems and so on. This must've been one of the most frustrating purchases I have ever made in my life.I contacted Bose customer service, hoping to get a refund which was refused because of buying them from their official Amazon store. What??? And due to waiting the replacement for 6 weeks, I missed the return period by Amazon.I ended up having to return my 2nd pair and exchange it for a colour I never would've bought in the first place, while having to hope that the 3rd pair will not be faulty. And after reading a comment on Reddit from a customer saying he's expecting his 6th replacement, I don't have high hopes.Please, save yourself the frustration and go for Sony, Technics or even the budget brands because you will definitely get something better and for much less than these Bose failed earbuds. The stock they are shipping currently are either refurbished units that have not been properly tested or they have a big manufacturing problem related to the hardware used. Considering they are made in China, you can imagine the level of quality control the units are subjected to.P.S. The 2nd replacement, as can be seen in the picture, even came with a crooked button, are you serious? I'm disgusted by this product and I will never touch a Bose item ever in my life.
