Bose QC Earbuds review: First thoughts
The new QC earbuds are great for anyone who spends most of their day with an earbud in their ear. A full charge gives each bud six hours of playing time and their carrying case contains enough juice to give them another two additional full charges.
It comes with an advanced noise cancellation system that gives you 11 levels of control. You get to decide how much of the outside world you can hear when using the earbuds. One extreme gives you total noise cancellation, while the other allows you to hear everything going on around you as if you didn’t have earbuds in your ears.
As is the case with most earbuds that come with noise cancellation, sound quality is awesome. You get to hear full, deep bass and clear, crisp details. Sounds remain balanced regardless of how high you turn up the volume. There is transparency mode you that allows you to momentarily allow the outside world in for short conversations.

It’s water-resistant enough to handle splashes and rain, but it can’t be used for swimming and other activities that involve immersing your head under. It you’re looking for a budget earbud, there are better options like the BEBEN Wireless Earbuds that cost about the same as a case of beer, yet comes with an IPX68 rating (swimming, showers or diving down to about 1.5m for up to 30 minutes).
