The page 4 unit diagram says Microphone (2 total) and the product page says two built-in mics for calls, so the maker documents disagree on the call microphones.

The number of call microphones is left empty.4Regulatory filingfccid.io/2AZOV-RBE725BRead 21 October 2026Internal photos exhibit: each earbud board carries two MEMS microphone packages, which fits the manual text of four microphones in total.

Source17Owner's manualassets.bosecreative.com/m/36b7ddda21b6edfd/original/898447_OG_QCUE2-HEADPHONEIN_EN.pdfRead 8 October 2026The exact manufacturer guide on printed page 41 gives up to 6 hours with Bose Immersive Audio Off and up to 4 hours with it On after a full charge. Both music rows use Quiet Mode with full active noise cancellation, Bluetooth A2DP streaming at 75 dB SPL playback loudness, and all three equalizer bands at zero. Manufacturer testing used production-representative units in January 2025 with IEC 60268-1 pink noise. The Bluetooth codec and Immersive Still/Motion setting are unspecified, so neither is inferred. These are manufacturer claims, not independent reviewer measurements. Both music rows are the earbuds alone from one charge. The case provides three additional full recharge cycles, but a total hour figure is not calculated. The call row has its own source below.18Maker product pagebose.com/p/earbuds/bose-quietcomfort-ultra-earbuds-2nd-gen/QCUE2-HEADPHONEIN.htmlRead 8 October 2026The exact second-generation maker technical specification states Maximum Talk Time 4 hours. This supports only the unchanged call row. Its ANC, codec, volume, and spatial-processing test settings are not inferred from music-playback conditions.
