The ANC is great, it is as good as the QC35 or N700. But i continue to have a problem with Android phone when i listen to music (there is a 2 sec delay when music starts, first from one ear bud, then another : Also when u pause/remove one earbud and then resume back) : this delay is annoying and i thought i had it fixed from Bose Support.Paying 250 GBP for this technical fault is a lot. Yes, these earbuds have Bluetooth 5.1 while the Android phone i have has Bluetooth 5.0 (but so do iPhones)On the box (reverse) : it’s written : Made for iPhone/iPad/iPod. Also works with Android : that complete sounds like a workaround.

Only just got these but being an audiophile and knowing what Im looking for I feel comfortable writing a review straight away. I would echo most things others have said. Superb audio quality for ear pods. Lots of clean, powerful bass, superb definition, wide stereo separation and top frequencies that are smooth and dont give you a headache. Perfectly loud enough in my opinion so I dont know why people have complained about that. Very comfortable to wear, even lying on my side in bed. Feel very secure and dont budge even when shaking my head vigorously. I dont feel that Im having to constantly screw them back into my ear hole to get a secure fit. I bought them to replace my fruit flavoured Pro ear drops that were good but had a tendency to fall out of my ears even with memory foam seals, and were very uncomfortable to wear at night. Noise cancellation is good but maybe not quite as good as the EarPods with a good seal. Overall, they are a much better buy.So the cons: the setup software is lame. Very lame! I got there in the end but it took several attempts to get past some of the steps. Then there are the controls. The only options are a double tap or long tap on each side. Right is Siri and pause/play respectively and left is noise cancellation level (selected from three favourites) and a customisable control. However the only custom options are skip track forward or hear the battery level. No volume control, no skip back, and given that I dont use Siri the double tap on the right is a waste. This is major deficit given the technology used and the possibilities available. Each bud could have at least three options and the software should allow them all to be configurable.Yes, the case is chunky and has a press button catch instead of a magnetic one but that doesnt change the quality of the product.So as far as the listening experience goes its definitely five stars but the software/firmware is a big disappointment (as is common with most Bose products these days).

Let me get this right out there. I love Bose. I purchased a car mainly based on it having a bose sound system.I own the Soundsport Frees and was hoping for a good upgrade so I jumped for these when I could finally afford them. The unpacking process was great – downloading and pairing via the app was great and I found a hidden feature that allows you to adjust the volume by swiping the right earbud – should be enabled out of the box.My main issue with these was a high pitched whistle everytime I put in the right ear bud. It would happen twice like it was getting feedback. I tried restarting and resetting the product and this didn’t help.The noise cancelling was pretty good but no where near the Bose 700s – I think I was expecting better however if the whistle was a fault of the noise cancelling then I can only assume that the noise cancelling was faulty and therefore I can’t comment on it too much. They look better and sit better on your ear than the soundsport frees.I think had I got a fully working product I’d be rating this as a 4/5 – the only other slight downside is: double tapping the buds creates this hollow thud that’s quite loud (same as the 700s) – given this is the main interface for play pause etc I can see it annoying some people.

Brilliant! At last Bose have brought out completely cable free noise cancelling earphones. Love them! Great quality – I would expect nothing less from Bose, comfy to wear and truly noise cancelling. And the charger box is small enough to slip in a pocket. Very happy with them.

I thought I had finally got near replacing my QC20s. As good as they are I hate being wired as it is very restricting and the previous bose wireless just look ridiculous or have other major drawbacks.The new bose earbuds address all that and make some improvements but in some ways are also a step back.First of all the comfort, the QC20 have great comfort levels and the new buds are comfortable as well but not quite as comfortable. They are bulkier and after prolonged use you certainly feel them more, they also dont sit quite so nice in the ear. The weight on them is just a tad too much to make them great for working out either. It can be done but I found myself adjusting them all the time even with light exercise. Still think bose are ahead of the game with their in but on ear designs which dont go too deep into the ear and just rest on the inner ear.The sound. This is one area where there has been an improvement its improved from the QC20 and there is some good detail now within the music and overall tone is very good, however, these are far from audiophile listening, they just sound good.The noise cancellation. This has also improved and I would say the 80-90% setting on the new earbuds is where the old QC20 are at with total noise restriction. It’s not a massive improvement but it is a bit extra when you notch it up that extra 10% it does quieten the world a little more. But the 80-90 on the old ones is quite good as it was but improvements are always welcome. What is nice is the customisation where you can set it to exactly what you want on the new ones from 0 to 100 in 10% increments.The new buds have an app also which lets you control some features but no eq to change sound presentations just features and the noise cancellation. I also found the app a little buggy, lots of the time it wouldnt connect easily but needed repeated attempts, and I have a 2020 android top of the range phone.In conclusion its a mix of good and bad unfortunately. The wireless is amazing, the bulkiness is not even though they are getting there with that. The sound improvement is good and so is the noise cancelling. But overall for me I still don’t think its enough for me to move on from my QC20s just yet, its a shame as I really want to go wireless. Hurry up Bose before someone else beats you to it.
