Bose is one of the leaders in sound quality and their earbuds hold up their reputation. They have excellent sound quality and noise-canceling abilities. Like the other earbuds that made our top five list, they have a nice slim and small design.
Bose earbuds are very comfortable and come in two color choices. Our testers love the simple touch controls which made it a breeze to switch songs while running. One problem they did have when running though, was the earbuds would sometimes fall out. No one wants to lose almost $300 earbuds while running a marathon.
The battery life of Bose QuietComfort also left much to be desired. They only hold their charge for six hours. Some of our testers like to use their earbuds during work to listen to music and podcasts and it’s important to have earbuds that last at least a full 8-hour workday.
