Each part is measured the same way for every model (from specs and lab test measurements where they exist) and moves up or down with what reviewers praise or criticise.

Pros

  • Rich, punchy bass that stays controlled, expressive mids
  • Cuts low and mid droning noise well
  • Comfortable, secure fit with bands
  • Good battery and wireless charging case
  • Crisp, punchy sound; EQ fixes thin mids
  • ANC effective on fans and steady noise
  • Lasted the full claimed 8.5 h with ANC on in testing

Cons

  • Calls only passable
  • Chunky buds may not suit small ears
  • No aptX, only SBC/AAC
  • ANC a step below QC Ultra
  • Callers hear a muffled voice and extra background noise
  • Sound and ANC behind QC Ultra
  • Bulky case
  • What Hi-Fi?Oct 2024

    A top entry into Bose ANC: lively, musical sound and solid noise cancelling for the money, though the Ultra buds go further. Tested UK version.

  • EngadgetOct 2024

    Much of Bose's flagship experience for far less money, let down mainly by weak call quality. Tested US version.

  • SoundGuysOct 2024

    Excellent sound and noise cancelling for the price, but connection drops held it back in their testing.

  • Tom's GuideJan 2025

    A strong mid-range pick with class-leading ANC for the price and great sound; small niggles kept it from top honours.

  • TechRadarNov 2024

    Excellent noise cancelling, good sound and plenty of features at a fair price, with only minor gripes.
