At a Glance

Roller skating, street art, woodworking — and every other thing that makes you, you. It’s an experience you won’t find in any other wireless earbud. And now for a limited time, QuietComfort® Earbuds are available in two new fashion-forward colors, Stone Blue or Sandstone, exclusive styles only from Bose. Just another way you'll stand out from the crowd.

Decades Of Research. Instant Silence.

Our soft, silicone eartips passively block some noise. But the true quiet comes from our Acoustic Noise Cancelling™ technology. Microphones hidden in the earbuds monitor environmental sounds and then produce the opposite signal to cancel that noise. It’s tech we’ve spent decades researching. But you feel the benefit in a fraction of a second.

From Quiet To Aware. With Just A Double Tap.

In Quiet Mode, our Acoustic Noise Cancelling™ technology mutes the world around you, so you can better hear — and feel — every detail of your music. But there are circumstances when you need to be able to hear your surroundings. You can quickly switch to Aware Mode with a simple double tap of the left earbud.

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 result is hearing everything you need to at a pleasant and balanced volume.

You’ll Love What You Hear

QuietComfort® Earbuds’ breakthrough innovations and exclusive acoustic architecture let you hear everything you love in high-fidelity audio — no matter how loud or soft you play it. And that’s no small thing. On most earbuds, bass disappears when you lower the volume, leaving your music sounding tinny and small. We solved this with our volume-optimized Active EQ. It boosts highs and lows for consistent balance no matter how loud or soft you listen.

Comfort. That Stays Put.

very surface that touches your ear is made of soft silicone — not hard plastic. And when you move, StayHear™ Max tips (three sizes included) keep your earbuds in place. An umbrella shaped nozzle spreads pressure evenly across your ear for comfort, stability, and passive noise blocking. All while an extended fin tucks into the ridge of your ear for an even more secure fit.

Tap, Touch, Swipe Controls.

Seamless capacitive gestures make it easy to control these advanced earbuds. Change the volume, flip between noise cancelling and Aware Mode, and answer calls. All with simple swipes and taps. When you’re done listening, just pop them out. QuietComfort Earbuds sense the movement and pause your music automatically.

Clearer Conversations. Wherever You Have Them.

Tiny mics, hidden in the right earbud, work together to reject noise and ensure you always sound clear — whether you’re taking calls from a busy home or on the go outside. The mics focus on the sound of your voice, while filtering out most of the sounds and wind around you.

Rain Or Shine

We built QuietComfort® Earbuds for life on the go. They earned an IPX4 rating for durability, with specially designed acoustic mesh in the ports to keep out moisture and debris.

Play, Store, Charge — Repeat.

Listen for up to 6 hours on a single charge. Then when you’re done, pop them in the case for an additional 2 full charges. And when it’s time, recharge the case via the included USB-C or any Qi-certified wireless charging mat (not included).

Bose Music App

Guided setup makes it easy to get started and introduces you to everything QuietComfort® Earbuds have to offer.

Stay Connected

QuietComfort® Earbuds keep track of the last 7 devices you’ve paired so you can easily swap between them without reconnecting. Use the Bluetooth button on the case to scroll through your paired devices.

Seamless, Reliable Connectivity

QuietComfort® Earbuds start connecting as soon as you take them out of the case. And with Bluetooth® 5.1, you enjoy a strong, consistent signal within 30 feet of your paired device.
