Bose has established a reputation for producing top-notch noise-canceling wireless earbuds and headphones. With the second-generation Bose QuietComfort Earbuds, they have managed to deliver a premium Bose experience at a more affordable price point of $179, making them $100 cheaper than their first-gen counterparts and $120 cheaper than the flagship Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds.
The reduced price had raised concerns about any compromises in quality, but the QC Earbuds offer superb sound quality, exceptional noise cancellation, and hands-free voice commands without relying on digital assistants like Siri, Google Assistant, or Alexa.
These earbuds compete closely with the higher-priced QC Ultra Earbuds, making one question the need for spending more on the flagship model.
