The world of True Wireless headphones is now full of
alternatives. Most are located in the low-medium range, while in the high one
are the excellent Sony WF-1000XM3 and Apple's AirPods Pro to refer to the
category . These are two really difficult products to overcome, on the one hand
Sony has proposed earphones with really effective noise cancellation marketingmediaweb and a
well-balanced sound, Apple on the other hand also offers a lot of quality but
in addition it adds greater integration with the smartphone ( assuming you are
using an iPhone). In short, it is difficult to compete with these products, but
Bose has fully succeeded in its intent.
Le QuietComfort Earbuds they are earphones that do not make
you regret the high quality of the competitors, managing to offer a cancellation
of sounds at least at the same level and an even more balanced sound, for a
product with almost no weaknesses.
Design and ergonomics
The Bose QuietComfort Earbuds are sold in a rather minimal divinebeautytips and elegant package, which immediately makes it clear that you are in front of
a high-end product. Inside, in addition to the charging case and headphones,
there are several replacement rubbers for the earphones, of different sizes to
adapt them to different types of ears. Then there is the charging cable and the
classic instruction manual.
We wrote above that the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds nanobiztech have
practically no weaknesses, in reality there are three: the first is the size of
the charging case. Compared to Sony WF-1000XM3 the width and height are
similar, but the thickness is higher. The size of the earphones is also quite
important, if you are looking for a product that does not show on the face
better go to another device. The headphones are IPX4 certified, therefore
resistant to sweat or drops.
Both the case and the earphones are made of fair techcrunchblog quality
plastic, nothing that distinguishes them from other high-end models but still
commensurate with the purchase cost. The case is characterized by 5 LEDs placed
on the front, which indicate the charging of the headphones, and by a rear USB
Type C socket for charging, which can also be carried out without wires with
the Qi standard .
A button allows opening and access to the headphones, which
turn on as soon as the lid is lifted. Inside you can see a button to start pairing
with the smartphone globalmarketingbusiness and the two earphones, magnetically locked inside their
charging slots.
The earphones have a rather generous size and a more complex
anchoring system than the Sony WF-1000XM3. Once inserted in the ear, they must
in fact be rotated slightly, to allow the headband to fix better inside the
auricle. The comfort is high, higher than that of Sony, because the headband
allows you to push the headset less inside the ear. The headphones also
integrate infrared sensors on the body, which allow them to understand when
they are worn and how much not: just remove an earphone to see the music
playback stop automatically.
Application and listening experience
The association between earphones and smartphones, in our
case an iPhone 12 Pro, is simple and takes place via Bluetooth 5.1 with AAC and
SBC codecs, but it could be even more so. In fact, on the App Store there are
several Bose applications , which can cause confusion. In fact, we first
downloaded the Bose Connect application, which then sent us back to the Bose
Music app, the correct one for using the QuietComfort Earbuds. The headphones
also work without an app, but in this case you lose access to the settings,
which are important to manage them better. From the software you can in fact
choose the intensity of the noise cancellation and set three presets to quickly
adjust it by double tap on the left earphone.
Also from here you can manage different sources, the
headphones support only one connected device at a time , but in this way you
can change when you need it. Remaining on the subject of touch gestures, there
is a "Quick Choice" section, with which you can take advantage of the
long press on the left earphone to forward a song or be warned about the
battery level. futuretechexpert
Other options include managing the automatic detection of
use of the headphones, for example you can enable / disable automatic pause
when removing the earphones from the ear, or turning off noise reduction when
wearing only one earphone. It is then possible to associate a voice assistant,
Siri in our case, or read the instructions for use, useful for understanding
the few touch commands available.
The touch controls are the second weak point of the product
, due to a not always precise command detection and to the limited number of
functions associated with them.
Where the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds fear no one is in the
audio quality and noise cancellation. Bose's experience in this field can be
seen in its entirety,the sound is very balanced , from medium to high
frequencies, up to the bass, never too invasive. The sound is more natural even
than the excellent WF-1000XM3 , where the bass is more present. In this respect
we can say that the QuietComfort Earbuds play on par with the Sony, but with an
even more flat sound. The quality is also excellent in calls, with the
interlocutor's voice always clear, as well as that coming from the microphone.
Noise cancellation is also very effective and does not
affect audio quality. We are on the same level as the Sony WF-1000XM3, all
constant bass sounds are cut, but voices are also consistently reduced.
The autonomy allows about 18 hours of listening, a good
value but still lower than other top-of-the-range models. With the next
edition, Bose will have to improve it to stay on par with its competitors.
