I have owned my Bose QC Earbuds II for around 18 months now and I am so satisfied with them. I was fed up with the lack of depth that my AirPods offered, and rather than go for the AirPods Pro I decided to opt for a company that I know is known for excellent sound quality.First of all, I love the design with the off-white colour. I’ve always liked the glossy white of the AirPods but the metallic finish on these just looks so premium. As for the functionality, the touch controls work well and I’ve never had an issue. Being able to swipe to increase and decrease volume is a great feature and they have never put a foot wrong. I’m not someone who has ever had an issue with headphones falling out so I am probably not the best to judge this but they fit my ears so well. There are also multiple silicone fittings provided so you can attach the ones which suit you best. I’ve not tested them when running but I believe the fit is secure enough that it wouldn’t be an issue.The battery life is impressive. I haven’t really tracked this but I am able to go for days without having to charge them with 3-6 hours use per day. The USB-C charging allows for super fast charging anyway. It seems to say 100% for a while and then once it hits 90% it drops more quickly, so just be aware of that.Finally, the sound quality is fantastic and the ANC blocks out almost any noise. Being on the bus or in the busy city centre, I seldom hear any sounds barring maybe a police/ambulance siren. The only thing I can knock these for is, especially during the initial phase of owning them, I had a lot of very brief, sporadic distortion, especially when using my phone. I was told that this was an issue that was known and they were working on a fix, and now this issue has all but gone as I don’t remember the last time this happened. This links to the app that is required to use them, which will download any updates and also has an equaliser.One final note is that I wish these did what the AirPods did in terms of playing through the phone speaker when the headphones aren’t in ear. However, just get into the habit of always putting them back in the case.Overall, I’d recommend these to anybody. You get exactly what you pay for: stylish design, top of the range ANC, great sound quality. You can rarely go wrong with Bose.
