We gave the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II a whopping 4.5 out of 5 stars, with our reviewer citing them as “the best Bose earbuds ever,” and the active noise cancelling they offer is “some of Bose’s most powerful to date, drowning out even the most annoying noises, dulling them to negligible whispers.” Our reviewer also felt that $299 is a steep cost for these earbuds, regardless of how incredible they are, but slicing $50 off its price tag brings it down to a pretty reasonable price. Otherwise, we found these earbuds to be incredibly comfortable and eerily good when it comes to call quality. It also boasts excellent audio, and great battery life. If you’re someone who doesn’t enjoy ANC, these won’t be right for you as the feature cannot be disabled. This means its 6-hour battery life is pretty stagnant as well, so keep in mind you can’t turn it off to get more time with it. We were also disappointed by the lack of self-finding functionality, with our reviewer saying “I want a definitive way to track down my buds in the event one gets lost.”
