- Aware Mode with ActiveSense™ allows the earbuds to automatically turn on noise cancellation when sudden or loud noises occur near you, so you can maintain awareness without intermittent noise interrupting your audio. Once the noise stops, noise cancellation automatically turns off again.

QuietComfort® Earbuds now feature Aware Mode with ActiveSense™ technology, which allows you to hear your music and your surroundings at the same time. And if those surroundings get too loud, ActiveSense™ automatically adjusts the amount of noise cancellation to turn the sounds around you down to a more comfortable level.

The QuietComfort Earbuds II are excellent at cancelling noise and they do it without any ear canal or ear drum suck as far as I can tell. To my ears, everything sounds natural. The ear tips sit at the ear canal entrance and are very comfortable. I can easily wear these for a whole day, or until the battery runs low (after 6 hours 20 min of continuo...
By default, the QC earbuds II come with three sizes of oval-shaped silicone ear tips (S, M, L) plus stability bands (three sizes) for a secure fit. You can freely combine ear tips and stability bands. The medium-sized tips and small bands are already on the earbuds; S and L tips are in the box: My ears are on the large side. While some earbuds fit ...
In a word, the QC earbuds II offer the most effective and flexible noise cancellation of any earbuds I have tried so far. Also, the noise reduction is very natural and I perceive no ear canal pressure or eardrum suck whatsoever. In the last month, I have almost daily been to an outdoor coffee stop along a very busy inner-city road, where the excell...
To me, the QC earbuds II sound very pleasant with all music genres. They are a lot of fun to listen with. They have an emphasized bass ranging from the sub and low bass important in EDM up to the higher bass produced by kick drums (prominent in rock). So they are not neutral sounding. I like the extra kick in the drums. More neutral-tuned headphone...
With activated transparency mode, my surroundings appear to me almost like they would without the earbuds in my ear, so I rate the transparency mode as very good. Bose’s voice assistant calls it “Aware.” Going back and forth between Aware and no earbuds, there is a difference in the way I hear my own voice, but I perceive no major occlusion effect....
The noise cancelling performance of the QC earbuds is so good that it is highly unlikely that even very busy city or street noise will drown out the voice of an incoming caller. Should that happen, your hearing is clearly at risk and you should leave. So the following focuses on what recipients of a call made with the QC earbuds II can hear. In a q...
The QC earbuds II are easy to operate. I mostly use the following functions: 1. Cycle through the noise cancelling modes via a long-tap on either earbud 2. Volume up/down via swipe up/down 3. Play/pause/answer call using a single-tap 4. End call (double-tap). You can also define long-tapping one of the earbuds as a shortcut (in the app) to access y...
The QC earbuds II can be connected to one device at a time, so to take a phone call (via the earbuds) while you are connected to a laptop, you have to go to your phone’s Bluetooth settings and tap the QC earbuds II entry. This disconnects the earbuds from the laptop and connects them to the phone. The earbuds use Bluetooth 5.3. I hoped they would s...
I am getting 6 hours and 20 minutes of continuous music streaming (with max. ANC) out of the earbuds before I have to put them back in the case, so a bit more than the 6 hours specified by Bose. This is fine for daytime use and napping. Given that the earbuds are very comfortable, they could also make good noise cancellers for sleeping, but for tha...
I cringed when I opened my wallet. But, I like what I got a lot. I recommend you try the QuietComfort Earbuds IIif you are after noise cancellation. They have the most effective and flexible ANC I have experienced in earbuds so far, they sound very pleasant, and they are very comfortable. It isn’t only the power of the noise cancelling function. In...

- Eartip fit test. Settings > Eartip fit test. The nice thing about the Bose is that you can mix and match the different sizes of eartips with stability bands so you get the best seal and most comfortable fit possible.
- Modes. Main menu > Modes > Create Mode. You can have up to four different Modes active at any one time, including the standard Quiet and Aware. Want to keep ANC to a minimum while you’re running?
- Remember My Mode. Settings > Modes > Remember My Mode. Listening on one of your preset audio modes, or in the ‘Aware mode’, when you turn them back on they automatically default to the quiet mode where the active noise-cancelling is in full effect.
- Battery Level on Startup. Settings > Voice Prompts > Battery Level on Startup. This feature does what it says on the tin. A voice prompt tells you the percentage left in the earbuds so you know if it’s time to put some more juice in the charging case.
1 day ago · Before the release of the QuietComfort Ultra, the QuietComfort II were the best noise-cancelling earbuds that we've ever tested. Low-pitched hums vanish, and even high-pitched whirs disappear, which is a difficult feat for ANC to achieve (and rarely achieved by other earbuds that we've tested). The world goes quiet when you turn on the noise ...
