How We Research
We compare products from their published specs and features; the verdicts below are our independent editorial opinions.
If you want a purpose-built replacement fin set made specifically for the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II, choose ALXCD Earhooks Compatible; if you need a universal, adjustable silicone hook that fits a wide range of wireless earbuds for sport and daily wear, choose COLLBATH 2pcs.
• ALXCD Earhooks Compatible — biggest strength: it's a dedicated fit part, made specifically for the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II (2022), so the shape, size and mounting are matched to that earbud rather than approximated.
• ALXCD Earhooks Compatible — biggest trade-off: it only serves that one Bose model, and it comes in one size (M), so it's useless if your earbuds aren't the QC Earbuds II.
• COLLBATH 2pcs — biggest strength: it's a universal, adjustable, rotatable silicone holder that works across many wireless earbuds, which makes it the flexible pick for sport and everyday anti-loss use.
• COLLBATH 2pcs — biggest trade-off: it's a generic accessory, not a model-specific replacement, and it ships as a two-piece set in one transparent color with no warranty stated.
• Who each is for: ALXCD for owners of the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II who want the correct fin and a color choice; COLLBATH for anyone with other earbuds who wants a cheap, universal way to keep them from falling out.
ALXCD Earhooks Compatible exists for one job: replacing the ear fin on the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II (2022). The listing names that model directly, and the compatibility field lists the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II as the target device. That specificity is the whole point. Bose's fin is a molded piece that seats into the earbud's housing and presses into the ridge of your ear; a generic hook can't replicate that geometry. If your original fins are worn, torn, stretched or simply lost, this is the kind of part that restores the fit you had when the earbuds were new.
The set is generous for a wear item. You get five pairs of soft silicone hooks in size M, plus a fiber cloth with the ALXCD logo. Five pairs means you can keep spares in a bag, a desk drawer and a gym kit, and you're not stuck if one tears. The colors listed are black, white, red, orange and green, so if you like to color-code or just don't want plain black, there's room for that. The material is silicone and the listing notes they're reusable and can be washed with water when they get dirty — which matters, because ear fins collect skin oil and lose grip as they get slick. A quick rinse restores the surface. The item is small and light, measuring about 4 x 3 x 0.4 inches as packaged, so it's an envelope-sized purchase.
Who should buy it: anyone who owns the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II and wants the correct, model-matched fin back on their earbuds, in a size and color they choose, with spares on hand. Who should skip it: anyone whose earbuds aren't the QC Earbuds II. There's no adjustability here and no universal claim — this is a single-model replacement part, and if your earbuds are a different brand or model, it simply isn't the right product.
COLLBATH 2pcs takes the opposite approach. Instead of matching one earbud, it's a universal soft silicone hook that wraps around the body of a wireless earbud and hooks over your ear to hold it in place. The listing calls it adjustable — the hooks can be positioned to suit different ear sizes — and rotatable, so you can angle the holder to sit where your ear actually is. That adjustability is what makes it work across a range of earbuds rather than a single model. If you've ever had a bud that fits fine when you're sitting still but works its way loose the moment you jog, tilt your head or chew, this is the category of accessory that addresses it.
The design brief is anti-loss and secure-hold for movement. The listing emphasizes keeping earphones securely in place during sports and intense activity, and preventing loss and drops. The material is silicone, the color is transparent, and the set is two hooks. Each hook is small — roughly 6.00 x 2.50 x 0.50 cm, or about 2.36 x 0.98 x 0.20 inches — and the whole item is listed at 4.54 g, so it adds essentially nothing in weight. The listing describes the hooks as lightweight enough to wear for extended periods without pressure on the ears, and as durable enough for long-term use. There's no stated warranty, and the item is sold as a single unit containing the two hooks.
Who should buy it: someone with wireless earbuds that aren't the Bose QC Earbuds II, who wants a low-commitment, adjustable way to keep them from falling out during runs, workouts, commutes or chores — and who likes that transparent silicone disappears against the ear. Who should skip it: Bose QC Earbuds II owners who want a factory-style replacement fin, and anyone who wants a color choice or a larger multi-pack. Two hooks, one color, no warranty. That's the honest shape of it.
• Best for a specific model → ALXCD Earhooks Compatible. It's built for the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II (2022) by name; the fit is matched rather than approximated.
• Best for multiple or non-Bose earbuds → COLLBATH 2pcs. The adjustable, rotatable universal design is the flexible pick when you don't have one fixed model.
• Best for spares and long-term ownership → ALXCD Earhooks Compatible. Five pairs in size M means you're covered for years of wear, loss and washing.
• Best for a color choice → ALXCD Earhooks Compatible. Black, white, red, orange and green versus COLLBATH's single transparent finish.
• Best for a barely-there look → COLLBATH 2pcs. Transparent silicone at 4.54 g is about as invisible as an ear hook gets.
• Best for sport and anti-loss → COLLBATH 2pcs. The whole listing is aimed at secure hold during movement, and the adjustable sizing helps it sit right on different ears.
• Best for easy maintenance → ALXCD Earhooks Compatible. The silicone is described as reusable and washable with water, which is exactly what a grip-critical wear part needs.
• Best if you want a warranty → neither is a strong answer. COLLBATH states no warranty; ALXCD lists none. Judge both on the part itself.
In my opinion, the deciding question is whether you own the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II. If you do, I'd buy ALXCD Earhooks Compatible — the model-specific fit is the entire reason this part exists, and five pairs of washable silicone in a size and color you pick is the sensible way to keep those earbuds gripping. If you don't own that Bose model, ALXCD does nothing for you, and I'd go with COLLBATH 2pcs: the adjustable, rotatable, transparent hook is the more useful tool for keeping a variety of wireless earbuds in place during real movement. One is a replacement part; the other is a universal fix. Match the product to your earbuds and you'll be happy either way.
No. The listing names the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II (2022) as the compatible model and doesn't claim broader fit. If your earbuds are a different model, this isn't the right part.
They're described as adjustable and rotatable to suit different ear sizes, which is what makes them work across many earbuds. But they're a universal holder, not a model-specific replacement, so fit depends on your earbud's shape and your ear.
ALXCD ships five pairs of size M silicone hooks plus a fiber cloth, in five color options, for one Bose model. COLLBATH ships two transparent adjustable silicone hooks that fit a range of wireless earbuds. Five pairs of one specific part versus two universal hooks.
That depends on your earbuds, not the accessory. If you own the Bose QC Earbuds II, five model-matched pairs is a lot of wear coverage. If you don't, those five pairs are useless and the two universal hooks are the better buy. Check the current price on Amazon for both and decide from there.
