I have these and the Liberty Air 2 Pro, and several other (Jabra, B&O EX, Samsung Buds 2 & Pro, LG Tone FP9, and a bunch of others), as well.

Sound quality: These are slightly better than Anker. Better Base, but I use the EQ to adjust them anyways so it not that big of a win, IMVHO. B&O EX wins for sound quality for sure.

ANC: This is where this is a huge win. These are prob the best ANC for any buds (and even compete w/ over the ear Bose QC45 that I have). I estimate that they are about 30% better for ANC than Anker. However, that is really evident in direct back to back comparison. If you continuous wear them for a long them (beyond 15min), I think my ears just naturally get use to the ANC isolation level that I cannot tell that much of a difference if I wear these or the Anker. But if I was to switch them, it is obvious of the difference. I tested the Anker, LG Tone FP9, wife's QC35 (did not bring the over ear Bose QC45), and these (switching them out after some time) on a recent flight to Europe over the holiday. And seriously, after 30min of wearing them, I could not notice much of a difference as my ears would have adapted to the level. The initial difference is noticeable, but you just get used to the isolation level as norm after sometime. So if your interest is the best ANC, then get this (or maybe the Ultra, which I have to tried).

The one issue that I have (for air travel) is the size and how much it sticks out. I was unable to turn my hear w/ these as it rubs against the headrest and pushing into my ears. Anker and LG was somewhat better for sleeping. But QC35 over the ear was best for sleep on the plane. Smilie

Battery life was fine for me as the Flight was only 6 hours so it was never an issue. I cannot imagine wearing these for >6 hours anyways if I need to sleep on the plane and turn my head.

These have pretty good sound. On iPhone, the connection isn't the best. Android doesn't seem to have the same problem. Great bass, though maybe too much (you can adjust using the app) . Very comfortable and great seal. Great noise cancelling.

This is the "that's what she said" of refurb earbuds threads. Tired and unfunny.

The sound is great, but the mic and noise are terrible during the call. My left earpiece died within 5 months brand-new. Bose does send you newer model for free.
Thanks thought about for meetings will look at airpods since I lost mine. Not sure where to get a deal tho

I got these during the December deal. They looked brand new. Zero issues. Super happy with the sound quality and especially the noise cancellation. It's a surreal feeling when you first turn that on.

Does anyone know if bose still produces earbuds with the hooks that go inside the ear?

I have irregular ear holes, so buds constantly slip out. I need buds with hooks to latch into my ear.
Same problem and these do not work for me. They fall out constantly, won't stay in, etc. Give it a try if you get free returns, but keep expectations low. I

I got these during the December deal but had to return them. They wouldn't pair with anything (PC, multiple phones).

That said, return was painless.
I had the same exact problem. Big waste of time

Question…when I'm wearing these when I'm out, if I sit in my car and shut the door, these things send a LOUD low frequency POP in my ears that can't be normal. Anyone notice anything similar?

I tried these out a few months ago. The ANC is marginally better than on the AirPods Pro Gen 2, but where the AirPods win is all-around usability (esp. with iOS/Mac devices), better-balanced sound, and their adaptive mode, which is a real game-changer. I ended up keeping the AirPods.

Yep, same thing happens to me. Someone else mentioned this in the December thread.

Does refurbished ear buds mean it has been plugged into other's ears and wait for a new ear?
I may pass on this...

Bose Refurbished store on Ebay again dropped the price of these earbuds, $10 more than the $119 deal in December but still a good price

Glad to be a help. So far, either Google buds Pro or Airpods Pro works the best during call based on people I spoke to with.

I bought it from ebay/bose, same source as OP. I return it. Problem with connection between left and right. Tgen I bought new one, it was great. I guess their QC for refurbished sucks.

Connectivity issues like crazy. Read forums for 5 minutes super common. Ordered last time could never get both connected through app. The one that did work sounded good and has eq but had to return. Took over a month to receive a refund and I had to open a case through eBay. Went with AirPods.
