When we reviewed the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds 2, we called them the best ANC buds in the world. They went straight to the top of our best noise-canceling earbuds buying guide for their outstanding noise canceling capabilities and perform even better than the original Bose QuietComfort Earbuds. They are a remarkable follow-up that delivers better sound, great call quality, and unrivaled ANC. They’re 30% smaller than the first-gen Earbuds, too. Bose has enhanced ANC to give listeners a more personalized noise-canceling experience with the Earbuds 2. You can choose from the two standard modes – Quiet (acoustic noise cancellation) and Aware (aka transparency mode) — or pick from 2 of 10 custom modes that save to your profile. A new proprietary technology called CustomTune automatically calibrates ANC and creates a sound frequency profile unique to your ear to provide better cancelation in midrange tones. The overall effect is positive, and the QuietComfort Earbuds 2 have a punchy and detailed soundstage. Other highlights include voice control support for Google Assistant, Siri, and Bixby. Battery life runs to 6 hours, which is similar to the AirPods Pro 2, and a further 24 hours is available from the wireless charging case. The earbuds are IPX4-rated, making them sweat and water resistant.
