Frequency response notes (measured)
With ANC on, the response has more sub-bass than the SoundGuys headphone preference curve. It under-emphasizes the mids and over-emphasizes treble. With ANC off the bass emphasis is lower.10Measurementsoundguys.com/bose-quietcomfort-earbuds-2024-review-124327Read 10 October 2026Objective Measurements section.

SoundGuys found voices clear in its ideal-conditions demo. In simulated office and street noise some background noise gets through while the voice stays in focus.
