Rankings
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 Bose QuietComfort Earbuds deliver premium ANC, balanced sound and a solid 8.5-hour battery life, complemented by fast charging and multipoint connectivity. Their bulkier shape and lack of high-resolution codecs keep them from being truly flagship-level.
