If you want good-quality sound but don’t want to spend over $200, the Bose QuietComfort earbuds are an affordable answer in the brand’s lineup. They’re focused on a great fit, as they come with multiple ear tips and multiple bands you can change out on the earbuds for a better fit on the crest of your ear.
The accompanying app lets you adjust audio levels, but you won’t need to, as these earbuds make all your music sound better. They’re reliable, have a long battery life, and are sure to please music lovers.

I’ve praised the QuietComfort Ultra, but Bose’s latest earbuds, the entry-level QuietComfort, are also fantastic, especially with their under-$200 price tag. Even after adjusting the ear tips and bands, I didn’t find the fit on these quite as secure as the Ultras. However, my colleague Bethany Allard, who also tested the QuietComfort earbuds, said they were the best earbuds that have ever fit her.
The QuietComfort’s sound quality is just phenomenal. With these earbuds, listening to Ethel Cain’s “A House in Nebraska” immersed me in the orchestrations. When “Brick House” by The Commodores came on, the earbuds elevated the snappy drum beats, imitating listening live.
The noise cancellation on the QuietComfort earbuds isn’t as sophisticated as the Ultras; I found they had more sound leakage and that classic ANC buzz when I was in noisy environments. The ANC on these is still great, especially in quiet spaces.
One tiny beef I have with the Bose QuietComfort earbuds is that they require a different app than the standard Bose app. This is annoying if you’re an existing Bose user and need to download another app; plus, this earbud app just isn’t as good as Bose’s flagship app.
All in all, these are a solid pair of headphones that, for $179.99, are an unbeatable value.
