Just got them delivered, I previously had Airpods Pro 1st generation which lasted for a while, now that it is time to switch on 2nd generation launch, was little confused as Bose has launched QC II almost the same time. So try it why not? Until i listen to the first ever song on full volume in these, i did not realize how much i missed the bass centric music which Bose is quite good at. I'm loving these, heard that Apple pros 2nd gen also improved the bass quality, i did not try those as I'm keeping these anyway. Fit: The default ear tips that came with the package fit perfectly, I tried to do some workout and running, they were well in place. Sound Quality: I absolutely love the crisp quality of sound and sometimes the thumping bass which is the main reason to buy these. ANC: With these buds On and playing music, i felt like i was the only person in the gym. Battery: I am going with the product specifications as i did not count on how many hours i listened to and haven't tried draining the battery either. Bose App: The "Transferring Update" will take sometime as mentioned in the guidelines, but you can still listen to music as it runs in background. Adjusting EQ is easy in the app which is missing in iOS world. Cons: 1. sometimes while switching between Quite and Aware modes, noticed that one of the earphone mutes or lost sound. 2. Wireless charging, I'm not a fan of this though as instead of placing it on a coil, I just have to plug it to USB. But this is something missing. 3. Multi point connection is something i miss from the Airpods pro by owning QC II's. Yes, I have iPad, iPhone and Apple TV.

Sound quality is excellent like I expect with a Boss product. Have that signature Bose sound and an adjustable EQ in the Bose app. Bose went with a more AirPod design for these. The fit is comfortable, especially after going through the extra wingtips and ear tips to find the right combination. These are light enough to wear for extended periods without issue. The charge case is a bit bigger than some earbuds I’ve used but still pocketable. The ANC is AMAZING and I love that they’re adjustable. The audio pass through is very good as well. You can add your own presets for ANC level as well through the Bose App. Now the negatives. Using the Bose app for updates and EQ on iPhone is terrible. It’s slow and non reactive at times. Also have had some connection issues with my iPhone where I’ve had to put one or both earbuds back into the case to restart the connection. I did update them in the Bose app (wasn’t sure if it worked because it kept freezing) but it says they’re up to date now. Hopefully the connection issues will be fixed now. Only time will tell. Touch controls on the stem are decent but not the most responsive I’ve used. That leads me to say if you’re an iPhone user I would recommend sticking with AirPods Pro if you want that Apple convenience of every thing “just working” every time. Still deciding whether to return these for the new AirPods Pro 2 for that convenience alone. The sound quality of the first gen AirPods Pro weren’t on the level of these Bose so I’m curious if the second gen improved the sound quality anywhere near these. If you can live with not having the “Apple” ease of use and can live with some connection issues (again new product might improve over time) the sound quality and ANC are amazing.

ANC is top-notch. Better than the AirPods Pro 2. I sit next to a noisy window fan and I can’t hear it at all with these earbuds. They are comfortable and fit perfectly. Battery life and touch controls have also been great. Unfortunately, I have two deal breakers. The first deal breaker is the overall listening experience. Don't get me wrong, the sound quality is clear, crisp, and well-balanced. But to my ears, they lack excitement. I listened to Bruno Mars' Finesse and I did not jam to the song like I usually would. The percussion just doesn't sound strong enough even after adjusting the EQ in the app. The second and main deal breaker is connectivity. I've owned two Bose headphones and various brands of earbuds and headphones. Among them all, I have the worst experience with Bose when it comes to connectivity. At times they connect instantly, at times it takes me a good five minutes to go through the whole ordeal of reconnecting them. Sadly this is still an issue with these earbuds. At times only one side is connected. Additionally, these buds still use the same voice. Each time I hear the woman's voice when I try to reconnect, I am reminded of the times I struggled with connectivity on my other Bose headphones.
