“I loved my QC Ultra 1buds but their refusal to add find-my at this price is just”
“I will be returning my AP3 and just sticking with the Bose gen 2.”
“I wish Bose would fix the microphone during calls most people tell me they hear excessive noise when I am on a call if I am in a noisy environment”
“They’re my instant new favorite.”
“Its such a shame they didn't integrate Find My for iPhones and the Android equivalent”
“I don't really see anything better. The sound of the 1st gen is fuller than this one, and the ANC is not really improved much”
“These are great!”
“Really NOT happy with these little bastards”
“The Bose has better audio for my aptx lossless phone”
“These are hands down worth buying.”
“I found these earphones brutal for coming loose in ear. Sound is great, but I could always hear lots of background sound because they kept coming loose.”
“Looks like it’s time for bose to get back in the lab!”
“And I find the touch controls a bit TOO sensitive!”
“6 hours battery life is joke”
“Currently my best and most favorite earbuds. I love it.”
“Pretty impressed so far.”
“Guess the bose are better for sound but the galaxy's have better features and battery life”
“as for the Bose it is a tough sell when their is the younger sibling, Skullcandy Method 360, at less than a 1/3 of the price”
“Rubbish. I had 3 previous one from bose absolutely waste of money. Noise reduction was okay, call quality was completely mess”
“Been eyeing these earbuds for quite a while now. Finally pulled the trigger. My advice: BUY BUY BUY”
“The bose is good, but I'm going to pass and just go with the technics az 100”
“great sound, but terrible app and Bose is well aware of their poor quality”
“Bose - better sound and more powerful, better fit, better NC”
“INCREDIBLY FRUSTRATING TO BUY SOMETHING FOR THE AMAZING ANC AND QUIET FEATURE JUST FOR IT TO TURN OFF”
Practical notes owners raise — setup, wiring, and quirks. They don't say whether the person likes the product, so they're not counted in the score, but they inform the pros, cons, and who it's for.
“If I'm wearing my Qc2 earbuds and playing a podcast within a few metres of the tv/speaker, I can make out the sound reasonably clearly.”
“the quiet comfort is very good at blocking out background "noise" but not necessarily conversations or voices”
“The white noise seems to be lower, and 2. I did not hear the mosquito sound that my light blue ones had.”
“I hear very faint white noise, but it's definitely less noticeable than on the Ultra first gen”
“the noise cancellation is only better when on calls it seems to me”
“I couldn't find a difference”
“I haven’t noticed any hiss.”
