"you don't need to mask with sound to block unwanted noise. ... The misses actually gets a little annoyed sometimes because she's trying to get my attention and I can't hear her. That's because I didn't realize I still had the buds on even though I finished work!"
"Bose Quietcomfort has the best ANC in the market ... dang their ANC is freaky good ... Like when i don't have music playing and ANC on full silent, I can hear the bones in my neck snap/crackle/pop when I turn my head (old injury) - it's really unnerving lol"
"Best ANC in the biz"

"The bass is just incredible compared to the others. It really blew me away at first."
"I switched to the Bose QCEs and it made me realize how flat sounding AirPods really are."

"I use mine for an hour long cardio cycling ride outdoors (all year long, rain or shine I'm riding with my earbuds lol). ... I also wear mine for the gym for another hour every other day. ... And I wear mine for traveling. ... For my needs and usage, they have been perfect - not a single return, not a single replacement. ... I am getting a solid 18+ months of use before I've replaced them with a newer model out of boredom and a good deal."
"Have had a pair for a few years that have been used in a variety of rough environments. ... Still work flawlessly"
"I've had my bose QC for...6 years now. Still perfect"

"The QC Bluetooth connection issues I've been experiencing since the first day"
"I've had 3 break in a year's time. 3. ... Audio was because I made an attempt to clean the speaker with a q-tip as suggested but apparently was too rough with it or something. ... The second time I stupidly tried to clean the microphone, again in the way they recommend. Which broke the ANC completely. ... The third time the left earbud randomly started playing Audio at extremely low volume. I had not touched anything important. Didn't even switch the rubber set or plug. This was in the same month I got them. ... I still am frustrated though at how easy they break. ... it's been a few months since then and the ANC is starting to fail again and I have no idea why."
