What reviewers say
Bose QuietComfort Earbuds
Owners rate the QuietComfort Earbuds highly, at 4.6 out of 5 from about 7,400 ratings, and most praise the noise cancellation and sound. Common complaints center on fit and size rather than audio quality.
- Noise cancellation quiets planes, trains and offices
- Rich, full sound with adjustable EQ
- Long battery life for a full workday
- Secure fit with the included stability bands
- Earbuds feel large and can pressure smaller ears
- Touch controls can misfire
- Case is bigger than many competitors'
MONDO Freestyle Wireless Headphones, Bluetooth 5.3, 22 Hour Battery
Reception is thin: 5 ratings average 5 out of 5, which is too few to be reliable. Treat the score as early praise rather than a proven track record.
Questions and answers
- Which is better for commuting?
- The Bose QuietComfort Earbuds. Active noise cancellation cuts engine and crowd noise, and the compact case fits a pocket. The MONDO has no ANC, only an ENC microphone for calls.
- Which has longer battery life?
- The MONDO Freestyle, at up to 22 hours per charge versus 8.5 hours for the Bose. The Bose case adds 2.5 extra charges, but the MONDO still lasts longer per session.
- Can I work out in either one?
- Only the Bose is rated IPX4 for sweat and splashes. The MONDO has no water resistance rating, so keep it out of rain and heavy sweat.
- Is the Bose worth it at $65.00?
- Yes for most shoppers. That is below its recent high of $130.00, and it adds ANC, water resistance, and app EQ that the MONDO lacks.
- Which is better for calls?
- Both have noise-cancelling microphones. The Bose uses four built-in mics; the MONDO uses an ENC microphone. The Bose's larger rating base of 7,400 makes its call performance easier to trust.
- Which lasts longer over time?
- Hard to say. The MONDO has a 1-year warranty but only 5 ratings. The Bose has 7,400 ratings at 4.6 out of 5, a stronger track record.
