Love them
I wasn’t sure at first because of the price. I never paid this much for head phones. when it said download app it threw me off. I love the fact that you can speak to them or touch them to take photos and different things. Very happy with my purchase.
AWFUL
your headphones are bad, your app is bad, it’s all bad. for $200. blown. fix your app. the app and headphones are horrible for user experience. way to sensitive and the app’s connectivity is awful.
Sound balance
Love these so far but only issue I have is when you have them set to quite the right earbud has some noise you can hear that the left earbud doesn’t. If you put them both back in the charger and back out they work perfect again
Glitchiest thing I own.
These earbuds are literally the glitch piece of tech I own, the app never works, don’t sit still they’ll go to sleep, I know you can’t change that setting by the way. For the amount of money, these things are terrible.
Battery life of the earphones box
I am going to be honest but it took me a while to get use to the app and what it offers! Coming off Jabra and I probably had more expectations for Bose brand! Could do with a box battery life display please and sound cancelling rain or waves for sleeping.
Troubleshooting
I just got my Bose Earbuds and charged it for the very first time with my iPhone charger, since I was too lazy to grab the Bose charger. Woke up next morning, buds refused to connect to my phone. I freaked out! Thought about returning it & replacing it but I couldn’t bear to even wait, I had tasted it& it was unimaginable to be without it. Eventually, I tried the AI, Melody, and after explaining my challenge, it took me through steps to troubleshoot and it worked. I shed a tear within.
Too many redirects
Just like many of the other reviewers, I’m getting a “too many redirects” when trying to connect my earbuds to the app. Can’t progress past it so I’m literally stuck at step 1. I love the earbuds but wanted to see if I could reprogram the shortcuts. Guess I can’t! How delightful.
Bose earbuds and speakers
Love traveling with it and my other Bose devices. From earbuds to mini speakers they all work great!
App automatically opens
Why the hell does the app automatically open when I close it? & wheres the setting to turn off in ear detection for Bose QC?
They work but also don't
My earbuds keep doing weird things. Disconnecting when they aren't meant to. They stop working from time to time. Like now my right earbud isn't working.
Best earbuds
These are by far the best earbuds I have had. Both the sound is awesome and the noise control can’t be matched. I was power washing my deck and the power washer was about 6 feet away from me and I could not even here it with these earbuds in and it’s a gas power washer too so I was very impressed.
Doesn’t function 90% of the time
When I attempt go connect my Bose earbuds 90% of the time it just returns the error “something went wrong”. Customer service was no help.
Tracking
Yes
Good start; awful finish.
I’ve owned the product since last Christmas and about 6 months in they’ve stopped pairing in app which prevents me from using all features like EQ, hands free, and most importantly (for my applications) sound deadening/enhancing They’ve essentially been dumbed down to a ~$30 pair of earbuds and I consider myself lucky that they should even pair at all with how sharply my faith in the product has declined. I gave it the benefit of doubt and tried waiting for the next app update to come out as well as the next update for my phone (iP13PM) to make sure there was no reason it should be awry.. Did not work. I would not consider BOSE products at ALL after this experience. -The app is meant for THESE Earbuds alone.. so how can you tell me it’s having trouble getting them to pair?? You’re not trying to detect other products.. How useless of an App is this? I’m no software dev but this is absolutely absurd for such a large company to have such a dedicated platform for a product and have it still do NOTHING! If I didn’t know better id say it’s nothing more than an information miner on my phone. -Trying to troubleshoot in-app is WORTHLESS. ABSOLUTELY WORTHLESS. There are only THREE buttons. One brings you to the BOSE store, one asks if you would like to pair a new device, one is the settings. I tried re-pairing my device as a new device and it tells me that my Bluetooth must be enabled to do so (…Despite my earbuds being paired and transmitting audio on Bluetooth) I tried going to the ‘Help’ tab in settings but only had access to 3 pages- 1. Terms of use 2. Privacy Policy 3. License Disclosure I defy anyone from BOSE to tell me how any of those can help ANYONE looking for guidance/troubleshooting/FAQs past not paying a real person to tell me ‘Kick rocks, your money is ours’ Worst yet, I genuinely enjoyed them when they worked- but BOSE seems to be unable to be asked to provide feasible means of having a lasting and maintainable product. It’s worth noting that I’m in my twenties and consider myself young enough to be immersed in tech my whole life and be bog-standard tech-savvy. With that being said there was no easy fix available and I struggle to believe that isn’t by design. I’d love to be proven wrong and helped through this process or wake up to fully functional earbuds; but when the easiest option available is ‘buy new Bose’ it’s just seeming like another company to take more and give less. Not with my dollar, not anymore.
Reconnecting
Keep having to reconnect the earbuds.
Bose pink
Me gustan es lo que buscaba tenía otros duraron 4 años y me encantaron
Doesn’t work at all
Everytime I try to pair it just says “too many redirects” and fails.
Merveilleux!
J’ai jamais eu des écouteurs qui jouaient aussi bien! Le son est parfait et je peux ajouter de la basse ou plus aiguë selon mon choix! 10/10
App Keeps Reopening Itself
The app is nice besides the fact that it will keep opening itself after I close it no matter what I do. It interrupts my videos, my time on other apps, and is overall really annoying, pls fix!!
アプリの最新バージョンにしてから不具合多くなった
以前のバージョンではイヤホンのタッチカスタマイズで一度好みの割り振りに設定していれば二度とこちらから変更しない限り変わる事が無かったが、最新バージョン（アプリ）にしてからタッチコントロールを好みの割り振りにしても反映されなかったり（アプリ上では反映されている）全く異なる反応したりする。 これが始まると次アプリ開くと、全く覚えの無いタッチコントロールのカスタマイズになってたりするし、アプリを強制終了しようが、イヤホンを再起動しようがデフォルトにすら戻せなくなる。しかも日本語がカタコトで言ってる意味が分からない項目すらある。間違いなくいせのバージョンの方がアプリが安定していたし、アプリにも一発で繋がっていた。
Me encantan!!!
Son geniales tube JBL ENDURANCE RACE 2 pero estos son otra cosa
Lacking
I wanted to stop the earbuds from pausing my music when i took one out; there's no way to do that anymore, besides sticking tape on the sensor of your earbuds. The earbuds also amplify sounds like wind which is super annoying. Pointless app.
Good
The headphones and sounds are great! The only thing is, for the price you pay the case feel cheap.
App disconnects earbuds
The app appears fine at first but for some reason keeps disconnecting/forgetting my earbuds which, in turn, completely disconnects and powers off my earbuds. This also happened with another pair of Bose earbuds I had. The only solution is to delete the app after you set up the earbuds. Hope this helps more people
It is an app
Bose QC earbuds is one of the apps of all time
Bose QC Buds
The ear buds stay in my ears, unlike the Apple and Samsung ear buds. They are comfortable. Great sound, clear and crisp. I recommend them especially for folks that work out. Awesome experience.
Not for everyone’s ears
I don’t think being able to control these earbuds. Should be done by smiling or frowning, or shaking your head, but no matter. The supplied bands and rubber fixed and then configuration, but not working on my ear. And here I am stuck with the earbuds or forced to sell them at a loss.
Great Control
The ease of answering calls, pausing playback and switching noise control levels is fantastic!! However; a little on the fragile side, as when bending over one of my buds fell to the floor and now it won’t charge - disappointing is an under statement
Slow and flaky app
The app takes too long to load. For a simple change in settings you need to wait for a long time looking at the spinning wheel. In random times it can no longer connect to the headphones when every app on my phone can. The updates install fail with no explanation. Then the only way to exit it’s to close and restart the app.
Update
Need an UPDATE since ios26 . We can’t open it .🙏
Precise Sound Quality
It’s everything I want. It’s works perfectly with my LiveTunes app the combination of these two is deadly that u will automatically have ur own world totally and just enjoy my favorite artist and their artful craft in music., u should get one for urself., its worth it!
Unsatisfactory
I’ve had these Bose earbuds for almost a year. The sound quality is quite nice! 5 stars. However, the app experience & pairing are a negative 12. I’ve worked in IT for the past 21 years supporting and working with iPhones from 3G (2008) and still support them today, Aug 15 2026. So I’m pretty familiar with iPhone functionality. And the last 3 Samsung earbuds I’ve owned, I had ZERO complications pairing All of them to iPhone after iPhone. But these Bose QC Ultra 2, an absolute Nightmare trying to pair with devices & control the earbuds via the Bose app. The native Bluetooth on the phone is connected, & when I go into the app, it says to find my product name ( it does appear in the list ) I click Connect, & keep getting the same error.
Awesome BUT app now crashing on a loop
Been using these Earbuds for a year and they’re awesome. HOWEVER - when I now try to use the app, it crashes through an eternal cycle of looping through the AppStore and back to the ‘select your device’. When I select my Earbuds, it takes me straight back to the AppStore where I already have the app downloaded and can open it again… only to repeat the cycle. I’ve removed the earbuds and reconnected them. No change. I’ve deleted the app and reinstalled. No change. Disappointing as the app used to work fine 👎🏽
Website does not work
Website is not working that I get re directed to from the app
徐々にQuietモードが劣化
してきてる印象。 やたら外の音を通すように。 購入時の感動を返して欲しい。。 あと起動時のモード選べるようにして欲しい。

Bose QC earbuds review
The voice gets cut in between for a second frequently.
Customer for life
I have always loved Bose sound quality.. I’ve had their QCE for a few years now.. I mentioned I was having a problem with the bands around the buds slipping off, one time I went to take them out and the earpiece stuck in my ear.. WITHOUT HESITATION, Bose offered to replace the buds with new ones.. I was told it would take a few weeks.. it was Les than 2 I love Bose and appreciate their loyalty to their customers!!
Welp…
Just purchased brand new QC earbuds and tried to connect to this app… too many redirects. Why is happening to us all?? I spent too much on these earbuds to have its companion app non-functional. Come on…
Good except internal voice
Please update software to give the option to disable the voice speaking when changing from Quiet, Aware etc
App useless as can’t open it
I have tried trouble shooting this repeatedly over last 2 Days and changed Safari settings as suggested but keep being told it can’t load as “too many Safari redirects occur . The Bluetooth connection needs to be turned on in settings every time I use the earbuds.
オフ、アウェア、クワイエットについて
概ね満足しているけど、オフ、アウェア、クワイエットのオフを無効にして欲しい。アウェアとクワイエットしか必要ないので。。
Best earbuds I’ve ever had.
Battery life, sound quality, and the comfortability out of the box is excellent and worth every penny.
Trash
I have been having issues with these since purchasing
Great earbuds at a reasonable price
Earbuds are great but experienced slight issues with the app hence reducing 1 star. E.g. app has to be running in background for voice controls, it takes slight time for connecting to app once plugged. Touch controls are responsive but create a slight problem while exercising in gym as at slight touch they do the intended action (which is great) but there should be master toggle for switching touch controls on/off. All in all great product with amazing bass and sound at great price.
Find my Earbuds
Cannot add earbuds to “Find My device”
Looks great but…
The app looks great and has access to everything you need EXCEPT one thing…you don’t have the option to turn off the auto play/pause. Other earbuds give you this option but not here. This feature can be very annoying. Please add!
