- Aiming to deliver a private mobile experience, especially when you're in public, the black QuietComfort Earbuds II Noise-Canceling True Wireless In-Ear Headphones from Bose features a host of noise isolating and cancelling technologies. When listening to music or your favorite podcast episode, active noise cancellation works with CustomTune sound calibration to not just cancel distracting ambient sounds, but personalize that audio to your ears. When on calls, two noise-rejecting mics in each earbud focus on your voice and filter out noise and wind, while digital signal processing further filters your speech to optimize clarity. Add this to sweat/water resistance, all-day battery life, and automated functionality, and you have an ideal mobile audio solution.

Immerse yourself in your music without losing touch with the outside world with the black Sony WF-1000XM5 Noise-Canceling True Wireless In-Ear Headphones. This latest upgrade to Sony's flagship earbuds includes several enhancements and upgrades including a redesigned ear bud and charging case that's smaller and lighter, as well as an adjusted eartip angle and foam eartips for the ultimate in comfort.
The WF-1000XM5 features the Integrated Processor V2 for audio clarity and active noise cancellation, while three microphones in each earbud actively cancel out distracting ambient sounds. Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) technology is ideal when trying to enjoy audio outdoors or near other people, but sometimes you still need to connect with the world around you. To this end, you can activate Ambient Sound Control to let the environment back in, or use the handy Speak-to-Chat function to automatically reduce music volume and ANC filtering by simply speaking.
Robust connectivity and exceptional audio reproduction are essential in a pair of true wireless earbuds, and the WF-1000XM5 delivers with support for Hi-Res Audio and an optimized Bluetooth connection that streams directly to each earbud. This connection helps to reduce skipping and keeps audio in sync when you're streaming videos. Add in mics with bone-conduction sensors, and you have a set of headphones that can entertain you with clear audio and let you communicate with others throughout your day with clear conversations.

Been using these in the gym non stop, absolutely love them…the sound…the case fits my pockets perfect and the ANC is simply amazing, fits my ears perfect and always love the BOSE sound, the fit for my ears are perfect and the app is solid with my iphone. No issues. I suppose everyone has there opinions.
Still a fan of them?
@@Fredo.heavyy massive fan bro!!! No issues at all, updated the headphones so you can listen on one earphone now. Don’t use that feature. Every-time I use the noise cancellation, it always amazes me with the sound to match. Been climbing with them, going mad with the gym with them and they stick to my ears like glue. Excellent earphones.
@@BobBenz55so you're not getting consistent audio drops?? I love the fit and sound but these audio drops are so bad. I want to keep them because I have strange ear shape and these are the few that actually secure. I'm really trying to figure out a solution before I return them.
@@filmingkey hi, I haven’t experienced any audio drops at all, I use them at work sometimes but mainly at the gym. Sound and ANC is simply amazing. Have you updated the earphones? Worst case swap for another pair. But for me no issues what so ever and I use them everyday. Hope you get your issue sorted and stay with the QC2’s 👍🏼
@@BobBenz55 I’m also thinking of buying them for gym to block their loud music n going mad at gym with my music. Are the good at blocking loud gym music bro?
Great video, succinct and to the point. I bought these last week for a flight. The nosie cancelling was great. However I had connection issues. My QC 2 would connect while in the case. They would disconnected while in my ear. This is unacceptable and I did update to the latest firmware. I got them for a little over $200 on Prime Day and still isn't worth it for the price. Like you said too much better options. I would recommend strictly as a airplane earbud or mowing the lawn. Anything where the noise cancelling is priority. You would need a daily driver earbud. These ain't it! I really really like the comfort however but I will be returning these. What do you recommend as a good daily driver earbuds?
I’ve always loved Bose … it’s good to get a great unbiased opinion. Keep it up. It’s made me consider my next purchase of earbuds.
Make sure you get them on sale
Hi there, I was hoping to get some adice on some tws earbuds that might fit my needs (first time earbud buyer). I am looking for something suitable for small ears with a good transparancy mode, minimal sound leakage for others and that has a pause control for the microphone on the earbud itself. I prefer the stick style I think if anything like that fits. I was looking at the Liberty 4 nc until I discovered they do not have the pause. Any ideas? Many thanks in advance.
Not familiar with any options that have mic pause ability, try checking out DHRME TH-cam channel I know they’ve reviewed some TWS with those capabilities
Does the bose earbuds have issues with battery. Will it last for 5+ years with 6-8 hours daily use? I need to decide b/w xm4, xm5, and qc ii earbuds. Or, do you suggest headphones. I need them to last because I am not filthy rich. ANC is important to me.
BTW, love your unique approach to reviews. I appreciate your POVs and that it's not ad-like. Thanks.!
So Bose doesn’t have a history of battery isssue.
Me personally I’ve been happy with the XM5 you just to get different tip( foam ones suck)

I work in the field and the 30 doller pair 2 year old jlab is still working better than these bose I just bought same exact, my problem is you cant have the right earbud charging and listen to the left? Any advice I've done some research but have found nothing to help.

Had to return these twice now kept having the same problems
Couldn't agree more. Mine have constant connection issues with my android, are useless on a scooter (wind noise) and hurt my ear after a while. I want to love them but my Jabra Elite beat the Qc2 in every aspect except ANC... But at least I can turn ANC off on the motorbike
Jabra really surprised me with it sound and features
Planning to get the xm5 to replace my current first gen galaxy buds. But not much review out there yet. Hope to see one from you soon..
Yeah the XM5 are only for preorder at the moment, looking to pick up the white ones maybe if available
Thanks for your video...
Use mine for the gym left side is never charged I have to stick paper in it to get it to make the connection. When charged and it works sounds amazing. That is less than 1/2 the time
Completely agree. Bose switched my original to the BOSE QuietComfort earbuds II for an exchange. Making calls outside is a nightmare
The bose qc2 were great until i upgraded it to the new 1.3.26 firmware where many bugs were injected. It would loose BT connection with no reason. Loose audio quality randomly in awareness mode. The mic is worst in noisy environment when making a call. In general its unstable and you need to put them back in the case for a sec to fix things. They still has the best ANC. Keeping them for flights only.
Just hopping the next generation fixes theses issues
I only used mine for one month and the left stopped working. cannot charge or turn on! I had a similar issue with the first gen. QC with the right earbud failing within a few months of use. I am going back to airpods pro.
I also returned my BOSE headphones and got the newest generation AirPod pro usb c
Ive had the bose qc2 for almost a year now and i haven't had any issues... it sucks that a lot of ppl do tho. My audio never drops or goes to one side. The bose app always works fine on my phone connects immediately no issues there either, no issues with phone calls none of that. I guess its just the luck of the draw cus glad i got the working set lol..sound is amazing and the fit is just unbeatable in my opinion.
I really wanted to like the Bose, been daily driving the tozo golden x1 and very happy so far, especially the price
Agree with the fit, they are the most comfortable I've tried. I love the sound signature. The noise cancelling is excellent, and I actually think the aware mode is great too. I think the aware mode suffers in noisy environments as you describe, when you have the adaptive mode set, as it reacts to sudden noise making the volume fluctuate. The case is garbage, you can't update it through the app, and the less said about the app the better, it's buggy as hell. I reluctantly returned mine, because at that price point, they should be top tier.
When it comes to the aware mode. Basically what he’s talking about is what all noise canceling headphones have now. So when your in aware mode and say a loud sound comes over like a car crash. The noise canceling will kick in to mute or reduce that loud sound so it protects your hearing in the long run. Because as you know, loud sounds wears down your ears and kills your hearing slowly. The buds aren’t broken. It’s just a safety feature implemented designed to protect your hearing. what he said about the aware mode put it in a bad light then what it actually is. And I can see how he thought the buds were broken because New York is loud but that was just the ear buds doing what they were designed to do. If you live in a quieter town or city. You won’t experience that same issue that he did.
It doesn't have to do with being in a big city. My home is quiet, and they activate if a door is closed or if something falls on the table. It turns on everytime I close my van door. It's very annoying, and not all new ANC headphones or earbuds have this feature. They should have given the ability to turn adaptive ANC off.
You’re 100% correct
Hi,
which ones are better in terms of Bass, which ones are more bass heavy?? BQC Original or II Gen? Anyone?
For bass it can all depend on your EQ settings, both BOSE sound about the same unless your in spatial audio mode
I use both the Xm4 and Bose QC2 with different ear tips. The Xm4 I use large bose ear tips because it’s cause air tight seal and bose I use The Sony EPNI1000L Noise Isolation ear tip which cause a great seal and increase noise cancellation
I’m gonna look into those
I don't have Apple AirPods, but I have Bose, and I'm really happy with them! I use them every day, and it's a real pleasure! However, I don't use them for phone calls; I have no idea if they work well for that. For me, it's just for listening to music.
Just for music they excel, but when it come to bang for buck and feature. They’re better options out there. Glad you enjoy them.
I bought two only to have the left earbud stop working on both!
I bought the Sony M4 last year, and the volume was so low!! No matter how much you will play with the EQ. So I bought the Bose QC II, way better! BUT!! after a while, they disconnected, and it's a NIGHTMARE!! To reconnect them back. I'm not sure why and what I should pick.. I just want to enjoy my music files at high volume and have some music experience..
Curious what kinda device you pair with the XM4
@@Fredo.heavyy Samsung a54 5g as a music player (all my Flac & Mp3's).
Id check your gain theres a buzzing static when you speak and I can't ignore it. Its a over the top buzz. Which doesnt go away even if i lower the volume
I’m gonna check my audio chain, thanks for commenting
Got these for 290AUD(~190USD). For me, the ANC and sound quality (thanks to the equalizer) are GOD tier and they are super comfortable. Lack of wireless charging, buggy app, and no multipoint are all let downs considering the price but the sound and ANC just makes up for me. I am keeping mine.
2 out of 3 can be fixed with software update. Lets hope Bose is watching
Hope so hope so
Have you been getting consistent audio drops? If not, are you on android or iOS? I've tried two pairs that have these consistent audio drops. It's the worst. Would really like to find out what could be causing them because the fit are so great.
@@filmingkey I haven't experienced any audio drops. I am using them with my S23 Ultra.
That goddamed mesh is a nightmare to clean. Samsung buds have the mesh on the ear tip. Also they disconnect a lot.
not a lot of people talk about the internal mesh issue TBH, connectivity problem is highly documented on reddit etc. Lets see if BOSE drop anything interesting in 2024 but I'm not holding my breath.
I need the sony so bad 😢
So tough to choose the proper fit earbuds without buying and trying
I’m still struggling with this on my left ear mostly
How the sound quality?!
Sound quality is great and can adjust to your liking with the equalizer
mine bounce from left to right and then cut out, pisses me off everytime
Return them if you can and get the Sony xm5
It is true that these Bose lack some of the things that today define real good TWS.
After testing most of the top tier head phones, yes I’d say so
Good honest, no bullsh1t review...nice change from the usual biased sponsored channels.
I appreciate that!
The static noise is so bad... Its there a fix? Its so annoying
You’re getting statics or white noise?
@@Fredo.heavyy it's cracking, static sound. I literally have to have them off till I play something.
When is raffle ending?
Raffle ends the day the new XM5 are announced. Thinks July 25th if rumors are to be believed
👍🏽
Have THEM in grey. Bought the first version as well. Nothing wrong at all with them. Flawed..?
Your opinion is welcome!
I would say buy THEM when the price is right.
As for flaws, all products come with something that we are not gonna’ like.
Besides, Bose will not, just like any other brand, “put all their eggs in one basket”.
Not even Sony, Jabra, Senns, B&O not even Bowers and Wilkins.
I’ve been in the game since 1982. Yes, 1982.
Headphone junkie applies in my case to me, so says my wife.
What da’ hell!!!You gotta do something bizarre in life, right?
Enjoy your toys, we are big boys and have a need to feed that greed with something tasty from time to time!
Peace.
You’re not wrong, at the right price I’d pick them up again
@@Fredo.heavyy summer time they were reduced drastically in Europe! Next time will be Black Friday, Cyber Monday. Failing that, over the xmas holidays!
Loving my new version as I travel a lot and they definitely do the job of blocking out outside noise.
Obviously, depending on the type of music you listen to, when you turn up the volume to will hear more and even less exterior noise.
I found the XM4 extremely uncomfortable myself
Probably have similar ears to mine
Need to win something in my life
These r good earbuds good touch features and good sound including bass but jeez the connectivity is so braindead like it’s 2023 how tf are we having audio cutting in and out issues on a $300 pair of earbuds??
Even the new Ultra experience drop out signal
People just pay for the name and ANC.
True words
So what’s the better product you mentioned?
Tozo golden X1
Is this over
Yea
No problems at all with my Sennheiser Momentum, my Sony 1000xm4, my AirPod pros… but both my Bose sound sport wireless earbuds and Bose quiet comfort noise cancelling stopped working in the left earbud. Bose’s only option was to spend another 214.00 for a replacement. Bye bye Bose!
just get the airpods. smaller, wireless charging, very good anc 🤷♂️
This channel wouldn’t exist if I had just got AirPod pros 2
No ill never avoid these earbuds in 2023
You’re a fan
Can't be worst than the Senheiser TW3
Connectivity issues with this ones are a nightmare
Gotta return umm
They are comfy for a while but they hurt one of my ears but they sound good with the nosie canceling , it takes you to another world , but that's it , after that It's a no for me. Luckily the Sony wfxm5's comes out this Wednesday which is tomorrow thank me later. Lol
You’re correct
Well the qc are still better than the wfxm5 :(
Like your video... but your mic is bad
Appreciate that, have since upgraded audio. Check out newer videos on my channel 🙏🏽
did I mention they were junk!
Your mic is clipping through most of this video, which is ironic since you are talking about audio quality... Whatever. They are not perfect, but they get it done where others don't. Comfort, control, and ANC. I do wish the aware mode was better, but even the Sony XM5 don't measure up. The app is crap and there isn't even a way to keep them in the mode you want, it's always switching back and forth. And they are NOT comfortable, like REALLY bad. My ears hurt after 10 minutes.
You’re not wrong, the TOZO golden X1 are my favorite buds of 2023, they have the best of everything. Check out the review on my channel.
Yea I struggle with audio in my space, new videos coming soon have sorted out clipping issue 🙏🏽
I'm trying to like mine. Fit, noise cancelling, both superb. The app, useless at best. Sound, okay for old man ears. Customer service.......crickets........non existent. Phone call quality, okay.
I’ve run into the same issues
I have them and I don't like them it's a waist of money
Try putting them up on eBay or offer up
Yeah
junk is better than this
Agreed
junk junk junk junk junk
This video was a joke. I definitely had a good laugh before putting a thumbs down haha
Admitting you’re a room temp IQ individual to the whole internet is WILD
