The QuietComfort Earbuds (QC Earbuds) were released on 5 October 2020.
Bose's launch announcement says the QuietComfort Earbuds became available on September 29, 2020, not October 5, 2020.
Full reasoning
Bose announced the QuietComfort Earbuds on September 10, 2020 and said in the same press release that they were available on September 29th. That contradicts the article's statement that they were released on October 5, 2020.

were released in 2015
Bose says the QuietComfort 20 was introduced in 2013, not 2015. July 2015 was a later refresh that added new colors.
Full reasoning
Bose's own 2015 press release about the QuietComfort 20 does not say the product debuted that year. Instead, it explicitly says the QC20 was "Introduced in 2013". The same page's QuietComfort product history also says Bose "announced the QuietComfort 20 Acoustic Noise Cancelling headphones" in 2013. So 2015 was a later update/availability date for new color variants, not the original release year.

The battery life is 16 hours
Bose's Sleepbuds II were rated for up to 10 hours per charge, not 16 hours. Bose also described the case as providing up to 30 additional hours of battery life.
Full reasoning
Bose's official Sleepbuds II announcement says the earbuds' internal battery provides 10 hours of run time. It separately says the charging case provides up to 30 additional hours. That directly contradicts the article's claim that the Sleepbuds II themselves had 16 hours of battery life.
