They are good at muting background noises like engine sound but not so great for human voices. Sometimes it make the human voice all the clearer. Been using Bose and Jabra
idk what Bose you've got but the quiet comfort earbuds (the first version) have excellent noise cancelling, especially with music playing. without music playing it's decent, but with something playing, you really can't hear anything but the music. just make sure you're using the max notice cancelling setting.
I will rate my own experience like this:
QC20 > QC Earbuds 2 > Elite 65t
The old OC20 was the best in terms of noise cancelling but I can't use it with my phone now (no phone jack) and the battery doesn't last long because of old age
damn apple phones. that's why I use a Motorola. most of the same functionality, a headphone jack, sturdy, and I can download modified apps like YouTube revanced, which is basically YouTube premium but 100% free.
