The rating in our Bose QuietComfort Earbuds 2 review says it all. We don't easily give 5 out of 5 stars, but these earbuds deserved it. The star of the show feature is the active noise cancellation (ANC), which competes with and arguably surpasses what Sony and Apple can provide. This is no surprise, considering Bose practically invented ANC.

As well as great ANC, these Bose earbuds provide outstanding sound quality. Our hands-on review loved the fact that "each bud adapts the sound to the contours of your ear canal to make what you hear beautifully balanced with very clear details and textures." These earbuds are the real deal, with fantastic all-round performance.

We recommend Bose earbuds across a number of our guides, including its list of best earbuds, best wireless earbuds, best noise-cancelling earbuds, and more. You can also shop more bargains in our Prime Day deals guide.
