Bose QuietComfort Ultra
Score: 85/100Rankings
The Bose QuietComfort Ultra 2nd-Gen earbuds deliver market-leading ANC, immersive spatial audio and a highly customizable secure fit, but battery life suffers when Immersive Audio is enabled and premium features like lossless codecs and bundled wireless charging are missing.
The Beats Studio Buds offer a bass-forward sound signature, solid ANC, and up to 8 hours of playback per charge in a lightweight, stemless design that works across Apple and Android devices.
