Bose - QuietComfort 2 (QC2)

Sold my QC1s for about $255 and technically got my new QC2s at only $145. Does that get any better?

I’m kind of the same.   Walking around doing some jobs in or around the house I’ll put in the APP2s  super quiet when I want to listen to a book and amplified when I want that things as I’m a little hard of hearing.  If I’m in the phone talking or riding my bike off road I find the regular wired ear buds to work better as if the do fall out I for drop them and for talking I feel like I have to talk louder and in side my wife says they sound to quiet when i’m taking.  Watching movies in my laptop I have a pair of Bose Quit Comfort 2s.  

I use Bose QuietComfort II, kinda old but does the job.

Isn't bad is very accurate. Best cancellation, not the best sound.

I have the bose quiet comfort 2 and use them at the gym for this very reason. I love them

Sony WH-1000Xm# or Bose QC (any model) will last you at least a decade. Anything battery powered wont be BIFL, but my Bose QC35s are going strong for 9 years now. I also have a pair of QC 2s with a wireless mod (installed in 2013) that has lasted for over 20 years, but I barely use them because the QC35s have better ANC, fit, and sound quality. But the QC 2s are definitely more BIFL than the QC35s. Sonys though have better tech, especially their LDAC support.

Highly seconded. The audio quality isn't bad either, but you can eq them to sound better through apps like Poweramp or wavelet

i’ve had these and Bose Quiet Comfort II and i prefer the Bose. i preferred that Bose has real buttons versus Sennheiser having touch buttons bc i keep accidentally touching the buttons with my shoulders and turning the volume up/down and changing the songs. i think the sound quality is better on the Sennheiser but not SO MUCH better to make a world of difference the noise cancellation is comparable on both Sennheiser battery life is longer but Bose’s is still just fine i just really really prefer the real buttons!! the touch buttons are such a pain in the ass

i miss mine so much. they were stolen 😭 i feel like a brat for not loving my Sennheiser bc i coveted them for like a year before finally getting them but i just miss my Bose so much

I just got Soundcore x20 and couldn’t be happier. They are perfect for the gym. Sound great, noise canceling and never fall off, even on flat bench. I used to use Bose QC2 over the ear but they get too warm.

I been using the Bose QC 2 and the last few months they been a bit twitchy, random disconnects and audio hiccups, they aren’t old but ready to try something else
