thanks for worrying about it, really appreciate it. but i found proof they are refurbished so i am returning them. this is what the new box looks like. and this is the box of the refurbished ones. (jump to minute 3) That's 100% the box i got mine on. so yeah, they are original, but they are...

thanks for answering. the email response never came. i didn't buy a refurb, but that doesn't mean the seller didn't buy a refurb himself. checked the info and it says Bose QuietComfort Earbuds. was fabricated on November 13, 2020. it has all the data, it looks to be ok. i will try to check out...

ok, i am trying them. they sound great. for the record, better than my galaxy buds 2 (non-pro). and they pair with the app. maybe they are real but refurbished? which would explain the different box.

the box is VERY different to the unboxing one. its a cheap white carton. the contents look to be the same i haven't even tried them on, since i am eligible to return them and get my money back (its a pain, but it can be done). chat support says its real based on the code. i have read other...

thanks for answering! my only caveat s that the qc1 isn't available in blue like the sport haha. i have been considering a third option: ubtws3 + a quality IEM. it would actually round up to the same price and sound much better. but it doesn't bring ANC and i have seen mixed reviews on comfort...

i was wondering since i will be buying a midtier pair (100-200usd) for both gym use and for using while my SO is sleeping. and she is VERY sensitive. so i really need 0 sound leakage, if that's even a thing.

hi @FiiO , since these have ipx4, i assume its to enable use while running, training, or otherwise sweating. if so, can you recommend a closed design (not semi-open) IE of yours that also tolerates that kind of activity (ipx4 if possible)? i am looking for a comfortable one in the 250usd or...

i know one literally has "sport" in its name, but the QC is usually double the price of the sport one. but in my country, they are practically the same price. so if i buy the spot, i feel like i am making the worse purchase. has anyone tried to run or go to the gym with a pair of QC 1?

adding the Earfun Free Pro 2 to the list as they are half the price of other contenders, and have good reviews.

having a comfy, good-sounding pair would make the gym and running feel like home. my priorities are comfort, sound quality, and avoiding connection problems (since I will be using them with a galaxy watch 5 for music). current options (these are all more or less the same price where I am from)...
