NEW BOSE QUIET-COMFORT earbuds with ANC – (A GREAT PRODUCT)
Bose is objectively one of the best audio brands out there for consumer wireless headphones, and that legacy continues very nicely with the latest QuietComfort Earbuds. Let’s be clear about something: if you want surgical levels of spec detail and massive control over the EQ and functionality of your headphones, Bose isn’t really the way to go. You can’t get true audiophile quality without a pair of wired headphones, and probably a headphone amp anyway. But Bose is the Apple of speakers and headphones: they have end-to-end control over their devices with proprietary EQ, design, and a supremely premium fit and finish.
The Bose QuietComfort earbuds are the brand’s first attempt at true wireless earbuds with active noise cancellation. I got a chance to review the SoundSport true wireless earbuds for Lifewire last year, and they’re among the best true wireless earbuds for my ears (they’re still the earbuds I take just about everywhere). So, I was excited to get my hands on the updated QC versions to see just how much value the new ANC adds to the experience.
The QuietComfort earbuds take a bit of a design cue from earbuds Bose has released in the past. While that’s a good thing in many ways (I like the design language Bose uses for almost all of their products), it does mean that these earbuds are quite large.
