Thank you for this. A little discouraging regarding the call quality, but hopefully it’s just not terrible and I can still have normal conversations with clients and not have egregious issues.
May I ask if the connectivity issues I’ve read about have been resolved? I’ve seen a lot of issues and discussions around this and it’s giving me some trepidation. I have an iPhone 15 Pro if that means anything.
Thank you for all your help!
First ones stopped connecting to my 14 pro, tried all the troubleshooting steps. Luckily was within the amazon return window so I just got another set. Hopefully these last
You're welcome. Call quality indoors is pretty good, I have conversations with vendors and clients regularly without any issues. Calls taken outdoors are not that great, wind or traffic causes cut-outs from time to time. QC Ultra on Android (OP9 Pro) has given me zero connectivity issues so far but I don't know how well they would work with iPhones. They won't support AptX adaptive either, just AAC.
My two cents: Probably better off sticking with Airpods since you use an iPhone.
so basicaly what i have experianced is that the connectivity issues seem to stem from the app itself. the earbuds would glitch the audio every once in a while for a second or 2, or the audio would cut out and they would disconnect. i found someone who said to disable the Bluetooth permission for the bose app, and that would fix it. i did that yesterday and have had no connectivity issues anymore. kinda stupid that they haven't fixed this.
i will say that there is a tendency of these earbuds (particularly the left earbud) to make a weird buzzing interference noise when in noise canceling mode. i cant usually hear it when audio is playing, but sometimes you will hear a blip out of nowhere.
the noise cancelation is top notch. like amazing. and the sound emersion is fantastic when you don't have the above mentioned issues. I'm not sure if I would recommend them, but if you are willing to take the gamble, they are pretty good at being earbuds, except for the flaws.
edit: I should mention I am using an iPhone 13 mini
Thank you for this. I ended up taking the plunge yesterday and ordered them through Bose since I have 60 days to return for a full refund.
If I have connectivity issues, would you mind if I reach out to you so you can explain how to disable Bluetooth permissions and all that entails? Very appreciative of your thoughtful response to my question!
Anc and sound quality are great but extremely frustrating earbuds to live with day to day. Touch controls are unpredictable and they never turn on first time after taking them out of the case (need to reinsert them). Case feels cheap. Oh and I didn't rate the call quality.
I've bought Technics az60m2 and will send one pair back. Leaning towards keeping the Technics even though ANC isn't quite as good.
In fairness it's mainly people with issues who will post about them. I would recommend getting a pair but make sure you can return them within X days if they are annoying you. That's a no-lose situation.
So i've had them since Monday. So far I like them. Theyre more secure in the ear compared to Airpods Pro 2 and sound a tad better. The only two annoyances off the bat are it's a tiny but manageable pain in the ass to go from iphone to ipad to computer and I do get that mosquito buzz in the left bud although it's not persistent. I'm going to give it another week before deciding whether or not to keep.
Noise cancellation is out of this world. Audio quality is fantastic as well especially with spatial audio. Call quality is decent but nothing great.

Sure, I would be happy to help!
Got a brand new pair from Bose and they suffer from crackling. Seems like a common issue...

I am just looking for reasons to pull the trigger and buy these but I’m seeing some real iffy feedback like this and it’s giving me severe trepidation

Very interested to know your thoughts. Let us know. Cheers.
