The quality of these Bose Gen2s is more than excellent. I can easily isolate myself with earplugs in a busy environment. My conversation partner doesn't hear any ambient noise when I'm on the phone in a busy office (even with one earplug in).

The sound is really good—you hear noticeably more detail than you're used to. The active noise cancellation (ANC) works well, although I can't compare it to other models. At the highest setting, ANC filters out a large portion of ambient noise. Not all of it, of course (but a system that completely cancels out everything simply doesn't exist).
The earbuds are exceptionally comfortable, and the audio quality is impressive. Even without music, they help you relax: children playing outside, cars, a lawnmower, or neighbors playing soccer… it all almost completely fades into the background.
I haven't made any calls with them yet—that wasn't the reason I bought them.
I hesitated for quite a while because of the price, but I find myself using them more often than I originally planned. That speaks volumes: I really enjoy them.

I had to reject the previous generation because of the significant problems it caused me with connection issues (high-frequency pitch, crackling, or occasional earbud drops), despite it also having excellent qualities, such as sound quality and ANC. This one doesn't have any of those issues, and the microphone is much better.
