Overview

Sound shaped to you

Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II provide an ideal combination of sound and noise cancellation that’s perfectly yours.

Everything tailored

You always get the best sound quality because CustomTune technology auto-adjusts it to your ears’ liking.

How it works:

1. Your buds send out a chime to learn your ear canal’s unique shape

2. The chime bounces back and gets picked up by the built-in microphones

3. Your buds then optimise a noise cancellation and sound performance that fits you perfectly

Keep them in comfortably with soft eartips and stability bands that come in three sizes. Then, take the Fit Test in the Bose Music app to make sure it’s just right.

Tune in and tune out

Pure bliss in Quiet Mode when you reduce background noise with proprietary active noise cancelling technology.

When it’s time to pay attention, Aware Mode allows enough transparency to hear your surroundings or engage in friendly conversation.

The ActiveSense technology in Aware Mode can silence loud background noise to a stop, or soften it to a manageable volume.

Life made easier

Maintain energy all day with up to six hours of battery life in a single charge, and a charging case that holds three additional charges.

Leave your phone where it is. Control music, answer calls and adjust volume directly from the surface of your buds with Simple Touch.

You can use either the left or right earbud for listening and calls with Independent Single-bud Use. If one earbud runs out of battery life or disconnects from Bluetooth®, you can continue listening without interruption using the other earbud.

FAQs

What are the differences between QuietComfort Earbuds II and the new QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds?

QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds offer all the same features as QuietComfort Earbuds II, plus breakthrough Bose Immersive Audio and the addition of Immersive Audio settings for Custom Modes. Other new features include Snapdragon Sound certification, using hi-res audio and low latency codec, Qualcomm aptX Adaptive, and Google Fast Pair. QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds also feature a new metallic finish on earbuds, as well as a new notch/key alignment feature for stability bands that makes them easier to swap in and out.

How should I ensure that my Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II always have the latest features?

QuietComfort Earbuds II are engineered to get better with time. Our intent is to add new features via over-the-air software updates. In order to receive these updates, it is important to download the Bose Music app. The first time you connect your QuietComfort Earbuds II to the app after a software update becomes available, you’ll be notified that the update is downloading. Putting the buds back into the case will complete the installation.

What do the controls on the QuietComfort Earbuds II do?

The controls on the left and right earbud surfaces are the same, and they include: 
• Swipe up or down for volume control
• Tap once to play or pause content
• Tap twice in quick succession to skip forward
• Tap three times in quick succession to skip back
• Press and hold the earbud surface to access a Shortcut. The default Shortcut function on both buds is to toggle back and forth between Quiet Mode (full noise cancelling) and Aware Mode (hear outside sound). You can add additional noise cancelling modes at sound levels between Quiet and Aware using the Bose Music app. The Shortcut on one or both earbuds can also be customised in the Bose Music app to access a mobile device’s built-in voice assistant
• Tap once to accept an incoming call
• Tap twice in quick succession to end a call, or decline an incoming call

Can I use one earbud independently?

Yes. The Single-bud Use feature allows you to take calls and listen to music using one bud. It will also seamlessly switch between your earbuds, and switches automatically if one of the earbuds runs out of battery or disconnects from Bluetooth.

Are the QuietComfort Earbuds II sweat resistant?

Yes. The Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II have passed IPX4 testing, which means they are protected against sweat and splashing water from any angle. The interior of the charging case is resistant to water or sweat that may remain on the buds when they are placed inside for charging; however, it is not recommended that the outside of the case be exposed to water.

Do the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II support multi-point connectivity?

No. Multi-point is a technology that allows wireless earbuds to maintain a connection to two devices at the same time. While the QuietComfort Earbuds II can connect to and remember up to seven devices, they maintain connection to only one device at a time during use. To connect to a second device that has previously been paired with the earbuds, you can simply select the QuietComfort Earbuds II on the second device’s Bluetooth settings menu, and the earbuds will disconnect from the first device and connect to the second.

Can the QuietComfort Earbuds II be used for VoIP, Zoom, Microsoft Teams or other types of calls?

Yes. If the source being used for VolP is equipped with Bluetooth technology enabled with the hands-free profile (HFP), then the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II can be connected and used for calls.

Are the eartips or stability bands compatible with other models of Bose earbuds?

No. The Bose Fit Kit is an all-new design that is not compatible with other Bose earbuds, or earbuds from other manufacturers.

What if the eartips or stability bands don’t fit my ears?

You should take some time to experiment with different eartip and stability band sizes to arrive at a combination that suits you, providing a gentle seal and a comfortable, stable experience. Keep in mind that it’s common for left and right ears to vary slightly in shape, so sizes may not match from left to right. Also, eartip and stability band sizes may be mixed and matched (such as using a size small eartip with a #3 stability band). If you find that you need alternate sizes, extra small and extra-large eartips and stability bands are available through Bose Support.

What codecs do the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II support?

A codec is a digital audio encoder and decoder used to transfer data to Bluetooth audio devices like earbuds and loudspeakers. Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II support the Low-Complexity Subband Coding (SBC) and the Advanced Audio Coding (AAC) codec standards

What do the lights on the QuietComfort Earbuds II charging case mean?

Earbud status light (inner):
• Slowly blinks blue – Ready to connect
• Solid blue (5 seconds) – Connected
• Blinks white 2 times – Device list cleared
