The Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II are now going for $155.99 on Woot, the lowest price they’ve ever hit according to price trackers. That’s a big drop from their original $279.99 price tag and still well below Amazon’s current deal at $229.99. This particular listing runs for the next 12 days (or until it sells out), and includes free shipping for Prime members. Non-Prime buyers will have to shell out an extra $6 for shipping. That said, shipping is limited, with no delivery available to Alaska, Hawaii, APO addresses, or PO boxes. Also, these earbuds come with a 90-day Woot limited warranty instead of Bose’s full coverage.
The QuietComfort Earbuds II block out both low rumbles and higher-frequency sounds in a way that feels pretty seamless. That performance is what earned them PCMag’s pick for best earphones of 2022. The sound itself is tuned to favor bass and treble, so podcasts stay crisp and music doesn’t lose its punch. Battery life is decent: about six hours on the buds, with another 18 hours from the case. But one tradeoff worth noting is that the case doesn’t support wireless charging, which feels like a miss in this price bracket. Also, there’s no way to fully turn off the ANC—you’re either in full block-out mode or using the “Aware” setting that filters some ambient noise in.
Design-wise, these are true ANC wireless in-ear buds with a water-resistant IPX4 rating (good enough for workouts or light rain). You’ll get Bluetooth 5.3, support for AAC and SBC codecs (but no AptX), and four built-in mics per earbud that help out with ANC and call quality. The touch controls are easy enough to use, and while the companion app lets you play with EQ settings, the options are basic. You can tweak bass, mids, and treble, or draw your own EQ curve, but you can’t save presets, notes this PCMag review.
