Performance
The noise cancellation is the star here. It ranks in the 86th percentile for ANC, which means it's one of the best on the market for blocking out the world. Bose's QuietControl tech does real work on planes and trains. But the sound? That's where things get rough. It lands in the 29th percentile, which is disappointing for a brand that built its name on audio quality. The wired USB-C connection means no latency and no battery anxiety, but you're also tethered to your phone like it's 2012.

vs Competition
Against the Sony WF-1000XM6 or Apple AirPods Pro 3rd Generation, this Bose doesn't really compete on sound or features. Those are true wireless with better audio and mics. But neither of them works without battery. The Technics EAH-AZ100 also beats this on sound quality by a wide margin. If you want wired ANC specifically, this Bose is basically alone in the market. If you just want good earbuds, get the Sony or Apple instead.

Value & Pricing
Pricing is all over the place. We're seeing USD 99 to USD 137 across five US listings, which is a USD 38 spread. At the low end, this is a decent buy if you specifically want wired ANC. At the high end, you're paying too much for what you get. Shop around and don't pay more than the USD 99 listing if you can help it.

Overview
Bose made a wired noise cancelling earbud in 2025 and honestly, it's a bit of a head scratcher. The QuietComfort 888507-0120 plugs straight into USB-C, no battery, no Bluetooth, just plug and play. That's either genius or a weird throwback depending on what you need. The ANC is genuinely good, sitting near the top of our database, but the sound quality is a letdown for a Bose product.
Common Questions
Q: Do these work with iPhone?
Yes, if your iPhone has USB-C. The iPhone 15 and newer work fine. Older Lightning iPhones need an adapter, which is annoying but doable.
Q: Can I use these for phone calls?
You can, but the mic is mediocre at best. It's fine for quick calls in quiet rooms, but don't expect crystal clear audio on a busy street.
Q: Do they need to be charged?
Nope. They draw power from whatever you plug them into. That's the whole point. No battery, no charging case, no anxiety.
Who Should Skip This
If you want wireless freedom or great sound quality, this isn't it. Go get the Sony WF-1000XM6 or Apple AirPods Pro 3rd Generation instead. This Bose is for a very specific person who wants wired ANC and nothing else.
Verdict
Buy this only if you specifically need wired USB-C earbuds with solid noise cancellation and zero battery hassle. For everyone else, there are better sounding true wireless options at similar prices. The ANC is great, but the sound quality is not what you'd expect from Bose.
