Bose advertises that the headphones use a technology called "CustomTune Audio" to adapt their sound to the ear canal in which they are placed.

A natural sound, good adjustment options, long endurance, comfortable fit and great noise-cancelling. If that's what you're looking for, you'll find it in the Bose QC Earbuds II. For a recommended retail price of 300 euros, however, they are already at the upper end of the price scale...
