Really terrific review. Balanced, clear, concise yet very thorough - excellent work!
One of the most informative and skillful reviews I’ve ever seen. Thank you for the effort.
These are an improvement over the 1st gen buds. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxK5mc3yw4xA7Mf2j6k6n1Uqv_KUgrKdeM Pros: The fit is fantastic. This is the biggest plus. They stay in my ears when running and become unnoticeable. They are tight but comfortable. The sound quality is about the same as the 1st gen buds. They pair more easily with my LG G8 ThinQ and immediately reconnect when removed from the case. The sound balance is excellent, good but not overpowering base and clean mid tones and highs.Cons: The noise cancellation is good but perhaps a little less effective than the Bose ANC on the 1st gen buds. Passthrough mode as not as good as the 1st gen buds making it a little more difficult to hear conversations when in passthrough.
Brilliant comprehensive and documented comparison. Thank you so much for this great job!
Nice review. I have Bose quiet comfort 2. They’re amazing. One thing I’ve found though is that if the firmware isn’t updated on the charging case they will show the single flashing amber and white lights stating there’s a problem and to contact the manufacturer. After updating the firmware, it works fine.
I did extensive research on these three before going with Bose. Thank you for your review!
What's the problem you mention if the bose are not updated. I'm not sure if mine are updated or not
How’s the call quality?
I’ve watched a ton of these reviews for these three buds. Many good videos out there, but your video did maybe the best job of actually showing-not just telling. I already bought the Bose QC II before seeing your video, but I’m still watching reviews because I want some more clarity. The way you showed the fit, all the tips in detail, and squeezed the foam was so helpful. No other video I’ve seen did that. Really nice job. The line graphs were uniquely helpful too.
I’ve switched out my AirPod pro 2 ear tips with foamMaster ear tips and they stay in my ear for hours with better grip until I’m done using it. Plus those foam tips do a much better job at optimizing the noise cancellation feature on the AirPod pro 2 compared to the default silicone tips it comes with
is it the same size or does the size vary?

Dude… your channels audio and video production is off the wall. So crisp and very pleasing. Will be subscribing TODAY
I love your videos. I always learn something new about these pieces of tech.
Really love ur videos dude, crystal clear explanation and comparison! Just bought myself a bose qc2 yesterday! Cheers.
I was almost convinced to buy the bose, but when I heard the mic test I changed my mind. For that price I just want no compromises. So thanks for the thorough review
Which of the three 😢
Airpods
Right, like how a 300 earbuds have a cheaper mic than a chinese cheap ones
The Problem is that recordings sound even different to real phone calls. I can do fine recordings with my Jabra Elite Pros but phone calls on Androids are terrible
So, what did you buy then? I'm looking for something with the best mic. As in, something that cancels out most 'disturbance' so the other person can hear ME the best.
I think Bose is quite good in noise cancelling. I’ve been using Bose for years and my ears never sore and I think it’s better that it loses it’s noise cancellation in high volume settings/surroundings for safety purposes.
great video, it is really helpful ! never fails to impress me as always
Instant subscriber within a few minutes ... Great information and brilliant video production 😁 Thankyou 😁👍
Just bought a pair of Bose thanks to this video. Looking forward to getting them within a few days. Thanks for a good overall comparison. Was on the fence between the WF-1000XM4 and the Bose. Was gonna go for the Sony's since I have a pair of Sony WH-1000XM3 (the headset version), but you convinced me otherwise. Great video, keep it up!

I have something for you..……
Putting sonys with largest tip into ears without squishing.
Also, you can use silicone tips from any other pair of in-ear headphones on sony quite fine. Using ones from Sennheiser and fiio occasionally if I want some difference. Doesn't affect ANC all too much in my case.
I already got myself the Airpods for christmas but I kinda can’t get enough of tech youtube content like this

Excellent comparison video, Joshua!! Looking forward to more of your content!
I love Bose. The noise cancellation is just brilliant, never had any comfort issues and they also sound good.
Went over several pages that compared those earbuds and didn't help much with my decision. This video was extremely useful for that purpose due to the great explanation and comparation you did on those 3 options so I really appreciate your effort with this video!
The decision went down to what I prefer between apple environment + better mic or being able to change the sound settings on the Bose's so the Airpods pro 2 won. Thank you again!
The AirPods Pro 2 are incredible. The sound is great.. controls are great.. ANC/Transparency is amazing.
Then.. the case has a U1 chip while each bud has an H2. They are beasts and have some features better done than $1,000 headphones.
I'd rather use actual good hardware instead of low tier apple garbage
@@hundkebab2433lol they have objectively the best sound quality
Thank you for this very detailed comparison. I wanted the Bose for a better noise cancelling feature but I ended with Airpod Pro because I find it very comfortable to wear on my ears.
Loved the clean comparison ❤ only missing more detailed charging comparison. Like what does 5-10 Minutes of charging give me in listening time.
how this man is only on 127k subs is beyond me. amazing content ty man
Well, to be fair, there are a lot of tech channels on TH-cam from big companies like CNET, Tech Radar, Digital Trends, TechCrunch, Engadget, and also big tech TH-camrs like EveryApplePro, LinusTechTips and Unbox Therapy, etc. but I get what you mean, he really knows what he’s talking about when it comes to technology so because of that he should have more subscribers, but like I said, at the same time, I understand why he doesn’t.
Amen, so polished!
It's a very overcrowded niche and it takes a lot of time to build a fan base. Also, it seems he started uploading videos consistently for the past two years. At his current pace he should reach 500K in a few months.
I know, amazing!
Fr this guy production quality is professional😮💨🤌
Very good video that covers the key pros and cons of the three ANC earbuds objectively in a succinct way
Pretty clear and conclusive comparison. Loved it. Would love to hear you talk about Nothing Ear 2
I went for the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds ii they are fantastic and for me being very noise sensitive and a very frequent business traveller they absolutely make the most sense. The adaptevness of the noise cancellation wins it for for me
Me too and I got the Bose QCIIs for $249 this Thanksgiving, $50 off from original price. Btw I have all 3 of them so I can totally relate to your review, I'll be returning the AirPods Pro 2 though coz I'm satisfied enough with Bose QCIIs and Sony XM4s.
How has your experience been with the QCii's bluetooth? I'm on my second pair of these (returned the first pair) and it seems like I keep getting plagued with bluetooth issues. Whenever I open Spotify, the music stutters and stops playing from either left/right and fixes itself after 5+ minutes. It's def not my phone (Samsung N9) either bc my QC45's have zero issues with connecting with my phone.
What about bass?
@@damianwojcikiewicz3951 you have a tunable EQ. But it will never beat an overear headphone set. I am very very happy with sound out off the QC buds
Is there really a “white noise” sound when there’s nothing playing??
Great video as always, Josh!
Great video! though the AirPod Pro (2nd Gen) are more convenient within the ecosystem... even after adding foam tips - the ANC & Sound Quality from my Bose QC II's were just better in my opinion, which is what I prioritize - sent the AirPod Pro's back.
I got the WF-1000XM4 since release. Speak to chat is absolutely wonderful, the amount of times that someone walks up to me or if I want to quickly focus on traffic is making this feature an absolute lifesaver. I only with that there was no white noise when using ambient mode. And I wish that I could toggle it with a tap or a voice command.
The noise-canceling is perfect, the battery life is more than enough. Only happens sometimes that I lose battery, but that's only when I forgot to fully charge them.
The ear tips still work well, and I have had no problems with them. When putting them in I do have to squees them like when putting ear plug in, but they will settle after a minute. Makes them never fall but also not as nice to put in and out of your ear.
Oh ye, the sound is fantastic! (Not an audiophile) but it's worse than the headsets obviously but I would trade them any day for the convenience.
you can toggle it with a tap. you just have to set it up on the app.
@@rosekristel I meant toggling the speak to chat feature. Yes tou can toggle noise cancellation and ambient, but not the feature that lets you talk to turn om ambient
Good features. I just wish the audio was a little brighter, and the microphone isn’t good for phone calls
How's it going so far??
@@manumukherjee7715 still sound amazing, just the battery life got worse on one of the ear buds but nothing preventing me from using them
Thanks for this wonderful video. It really helped me out tons!
Complimenti per il video , ha dettagliato tutto al meglio come nessun altro lo aveva fatto. Continua così ora hai un nuovo follow 🇮🇹
Great video ! Very thorough analysis but succinct at the same time.
at 3:34, the touch controls can be enabled for volume in the headphones app !
you would have to either sacrifice seamlessly swapping between noise canceling/ambient sound or playback functions since there are only two ear buds O.o
you can also choose the tap functions for both earbuds or they can just be disabled entirely
Fantastic video, very thorough.
Great video, I'm leaning towards the airpods pro 2 because of the apple ecosystem part
Love the combo of tempo and information great video!

I have something for you..…….
I actually tend to prefer the stock tuning of the Sony's. They offer a nice emphasis on and texture to lower mids that's lush and unique. There's also a fair amount of high treble which gives everything a nice sparkle and airyness. Things like vocals do take a bit of a back seat, but I feel that the buds have good enough separation that everything tends to sound fairly well defined. That said, I am a little treble sensitive, so others might experience it differently. I occasionally experiment with more treble in the EQ but the original sound usually does me well, especially with very long use times.

they are so annoying
@@stefanplusplus917 if you are using Bluetooth buds, you're not an audiophile at all.
+ Sony is the only one which can transmit higher Bluetooth frequency with Ldac. The reviewer is probably using an iphone which is just an overhyped device. To play audio with the LDAC codec on the WF-1000XM4 earbud headphones, you need a Bluetooth playback device that supports LDAC. Usually Xperia 1 series.

I got the Sonys and I live in Japan so I had access to get the replaceable ear tips and I gotta say that it made the experience that much better.
What ear tips did you get?
Hi can you please share the ear tip name. Thanks
thanks for this! been struggling to decide and finally decided for the bose!
I love your play of sounds, the here and there tweaks in your videos. I'm using my AirPods Pro ii and I was away from my from and whenever it hit, I turned around and okay bro, u got my attention. Good job! *Subscribed
Great video, returned my Sony as the fit was frustrating and the white noise issue is real
What a great, well presented review👍🏼
As i am fully integrated in the Apple ecosystem, i have chosen for the AirPods, sounds is fantastic. Fit is much better with Comply eartips

Foam tips wear out faster. Swapped my Sony foams for silicon after a week.
Some swear by the foam. All I can say is that it's *different* so your mileage may vary. I grabbed spinfits, they won't break the bank. Something to consider.
Super useful video! Definitely one of the better ones on this topic
Thank you
I got the bose qc2 for 225, they are absolutely amazing. The only reason to go for airpods is if I had an iphone. Things like wireless charging don't really matter when you get 24h of usage out of a charge. ANC is great, and I can go for a run without them moving an inch

Great review!
One nice feature the airpods has is being able to adjust the sound according to hearing test audiogram. Also for the music app even though you don’t have full eq, you do get eq presets to choose from from several musical categories.
The Bose QC buds also do EQ adjustments using their start up sound! Its nice to see this tech making its way into a lot of devices
For me the audiogram is useless. You have option A: with bass (standard) or B: no bass… Maybe who listens only podcasts. I read Apple Music has an eq, but I don’t use Apple Music.
@@Kikuyo2 The audiogram that you make in the settings is pretty useless but you can use a third party app to get a better audiogram and then use that instead. I used the Mimi hearing app from the App Store and it made a noticeable improvement. I recommend trying it out.
@@Kikuyo2Spotify has eq too
@@DragonsRule97 yeah I wanted to point that out too
Great video, thanks!!
I tried the air pods once but the sound was just too bright for me and I didn't see a way to adjust it. When I got the Sony XM4's I was really disappointed until I ran the tuning app, wow. When you adjust them to your own taste they are marvelous. I use them mostly for driving and cutting grass, I have a very large yard that takes several hours to mow. While I can still hear my lawnmower it is VERY soft and I can enjoy music or audio books easily, it makes cutting the grass a pleasure. I recently got the Sony XM5's. The batteries on my XM4's gave out. I sent the Sony SM4's back to Sony after having them for a couple years and they replaced the batteries at no charge. Before sending the XM4's back to Sony I had an opportunity to get the XM5's, the newest Sony, it didn't occur to me that you could replace the batteries in the 4's. I like my 4's, I like them a lot but I think I like the lightness and size better on the 5's. There is only a little enhancement of ANC on the 5's over the 4's but you can wear them for 6 hours and not even think about comfort, they just don't bother you and I think their transparency mode is really special unless you cough while mowing. Because the XM5's are so comfortable I was really leary of using them to cut the grass, I just didn't beileve that something so comfortable would stay in my ears, I haven't had a problem though. I don't think you can go wrong with any of these earbuds, there is no good better and best only best bester and bestest (I know that isn't a word but works for me) perhaps. I have Sony over the ear headphones XM4's and I find the ear pods far superior I think mostly because of the foam tips that cancel a great deal of noise even without ANC turned on. In less noisy environments ( not cutting grass) the extreme quiet of the earbuds makes the nuance of sounds of orchestras or perhaps any kind of music easy to discern.
Such a great review. Thank you so much. How long does it take to charge each set?
One thing to consider as well is that there is no tracking feature on the Bose quitecomfort earbuds. Which should be a must for all small wireless devices.
Can't you use Tile to track Bose earphones?
@@vesky1314 Unless you're buying another charge case with a clip, where do you suggest I can put the tile? Because it won't fit inside and there is no place hang it..
Amazing review bro
thanks a lot for such a perfect video!
Man.... You're a pro. Thanks for making this videos at epic level i was searching for a site or a video to compare this exact earbuds and I've found everything i was looking for in your video. thanks man. subscribed. Keep your work this way and push this industry ahead with developing it. Good luck
very good info short but sweet. keep up the good work friend :)
I went for the AirPods. Seemed like the perfect fit for me as I do go to some rock concerts and the adaptive transparency has been a lifesaver when in front of the big speakers trying to take pictures. The squeeze controls are also way superior to the touch controls on other earbuds, as you can easily adjust the buds in your ears and not accidentally trigger anything. If you are seriously so lazy that you can’t be bothered to lightly squeeze something a few times then go for some other buds. The noise cancellation is really good as well and when combined with music at somewhere around 75 decibels I have not been able to hear anything but the music.
Edit: also I completely disagree with this guy when he says “go for the AirPods if you don’t care that much about bass”. It’s a very balanced sound and the bass is just right. It can be slightly punchy but it’s never overwhelming. It won’t be popular with fans who are complete baseline junkies, for that I would have a look at the skullcandy crushers as they have a literal bass slider, but for people like me who want bass but don’t want it to overlap any other sounds it’s perfect.
You should never use the AirPods Adaptive Transparency as safety earplugs for concerts or similar louder environments. They don’t works as earplugs, and won’t protect you against ear damage. Cause sound vibration will still damage your ear canals without proper earplugs.
@@callisvitorhe’s an AirPod user, so clearly he doesn’t make the best decisions
Heads up, the following comment is of a headphone user who cares mostly about sound quality.
AirPods Pro 2 are the best wireless earbuds of these three dude. The frequency curve is the mostly flat out of the box which, if you didn’t know, allows for the best sound quality. Good headphones have a flat frequency response curve, just look at an audiophile headphones’ frequency response curve. You can also adjust in the settings what kind of listener you are and if you like more bass, you can set your AirPods to be more bass heavy. You just sound like an apple hater lol.
apple dickrider
Bring earplugs to concerts, AirPods really don’t help with deceasing that much noise. However use AirPods for audio and noise cancellation
I own the Airpods Pro 2 and never tried the others... but being very balanced/neutral while still translating a lot of detail and deliver an immersive experience is precisely what I'm looking for in any headphones or speakers. As a musician who has been mixing and mastering music for 15 years, I like to hear things the way they've been intended to be heard and not ''enhanced'' in any other way. Just like I use calibrated TV and monitors, without any gimmicky options enabled or tweaking done to ''enhance'' any aspect of the imagerie, so I can see colors as the colorist was seeing them (or as close as possible).
So are the air Pods pro 2 is a good option , heavily confused between the Sony and AirPods
@@bharathraaj2253 Yes the Airpods Pro 2 are awesome! Can’t go wrong with them.
It should be noted that on the XM4s it also has the same adaptive transparency mode as the pros and Bose. This is in addition to the excellent speak-to-chat function. The latter is far from a gimmic but rather an incredible quality of life improvement feature that is well thought out and almost flawless. Also battery life on the Sonys is double what is stated in the video. 8hrs with ANC and almost 12hrs with ANC off! Far cry from the 6hrs mentioned in the video. Have had my pair of XM4s two months now and 8-12hrs is spot on and what I get. That's before needing to recharge buds in case.
I agree, I've had the XM4s for a year now and my biggest correction to his overview would be the battery life. He said 6 hours for each of them, but I usually get double that with the Sony's. I average 10-12 hours, which is a game changer if you're wearing them to sleep through a noisy environment.
I had the Sonys but the batteries crapped out and Sony refuses to replace it for me, it’s a known issue and Sony just rolled out a software update to correct it but it only works if your batteries aren’t already shot. I loved the Sonys but I just got the airpod pros 2 to replace them and I’m just as happy, both are great headphones and you can’t go wrong with either. I’d go with Sony for sound quality and apple for convince
Not to mention that you can get fat higher sound quality than the others with DSEE extreme and if you have an android you can turn on LDAC
@@mackmuhlbeier4531 that's surprising. I got the xm4s at launch and had the battery issue too. They replaced mine no questions asked after like 10 minutes of chatting even though they were out of warranty
It's 10 -12h with anc on n at least 20h with anc off for mine. Sony biggest selling point though
A great balanced review!
That transparency mode on the pros is king!

I use the Bose. The Achilles heel of the hose is it's case lid hinge. It becomes shaky and loose after few times of use. Definitely the case sturdiness has to be improved. It feels like the lid might break anytime. Then, the firmware update and connectivity issues across iOS and Android .. I have faced issues with connectivity after 2 months of use. Otherwise, these are good pair of earbuds.
Definitely. I'd bought a pair of qc 2's a year back and now the case lid has completely come off. Bose customer service is terrible and denies to repair/replace the case. And just recently, the left earbud has stopped working completely. Going to buy pro's now.

Great video Mr. Chang. I just purchased the airpods pro 2 two hours ago and my god they are exceptionally great. My previous earphones where the WF-1000XM3.
Just upgraded from the wf3s to the 4s today. They are also great
@@isaliaquat5499 few weeks ago i had gotten a chance to test out my friend's wf4's and they were just as great at the airpods but majority of the products i use are apple products, so i chose airpods for the eco system and compatibility, but wf4s where also my choice if i didn't have to worry about the compatibility.
@@viswar.k.2122 Yh it's annoying when products are hardly cross platform compatible. I have a onePlus so it works great. They went from £199 to £159 so it was worth it for me.
@@isaliaquat5499 yeah that's a great price to get them for tbh.
Excellent video!!
Great review. Ill prefer the QC2 for their fitting. Thanks.
Great video. What I would add is the price. Where I live the Bose and Airpods are 100€ more expensive than the Donys and for that price increase I find it very difficult to justify bying them over the Sonys.
Thing is, from al the reviews I saw, They already think Bose first generation is better than the Sonys. The first gen is like 50-100 euros cheaper than the 2nd gen.
Not really sure why a lot of people say the AirPods have little bass. I own the 2nd generation Pro’s and the bass on them sounds absolutely amazing.
I just gone for QC2. Can't wait for it to come on Tuesday
Cant thankyou enough for this review finally got my hands on bose qc2 and im blown away
Im in an Apple ecosystem but airpods pro2 never can beat the sound quality of bose
The Sony for me are perfect,I love the sound,they are super confortable,I've used them for 5 hours straight and they didn't bother me at all
I have the XM4s and pro and honestly, I never use the apple. The apple anc sucks in my opinion even when I use different tips. I love the Sony but they aren't the most comfortable. They can feel hot after a while where as the pros are super comfortable but fall out all of the time. I really like the look of these Bose ones so might grab a pair and see if they manage to take the best of both worlds. I'd like to see something similar with the galaxy buds pro2.
My fav is wf-1000xm4 really smooth as you said brother
Better than other two
I love my Bose so much, reminds me of galaxy buds+. Only issue I've had is they can be a little glitchy but not enough to be a real issue. I am curious to see if they'll last through all the shadow boxing I'll do.
UPDATE: they only lasted two months lol. In their defense I think I probably got a faulty pair but still a comical amount of time. Loss of volume, crackling, painful thumping, and inconsistent noise cancelling.
UPDATE 2: the new buds died in two months too, I can't recommend these. I'm not sure if any other earbuds would survive either but my Samsung's lasted me for 3 years so something to consider.
I have been through 2pairs of galaxy buds+ as the first pair started not holding a 10hr charge all day. I am thinking about upgrading to the Sony xm4 or Bose Quietcomfort 2. I mainly use them at work in a shop environment listening to music. My goal is the same battery life as the Buds+ but a better sound quality/fit comfort.
@@chasen432 I've tested the battery, lasts 5 hours on phone calls which I'd imagine are the most draining use. The charge time to recharge is insanely fast so it makes up for it a little. Just make sure you get that extended warranty!!
Lol what are you doing? Like when you said not sure if others would survive, like are they falling out and landing on the ground?
That's a really well done review!
Nah he leaves out loads from the sonys. They by far have the best quality sound with not only customisability but DSEE extreme and LDAC. Plus they have 12 hours battery life not 6 like he said. Also it’s super easy to just use silicon tips if the foam ones are annoying, and the black foam tips last ages. Not to mention they also have adaptive transparency.

I’ve owned all three of these earbuds, and I ended up giving away the Sony’s as the foam tips were simply too uncomfortable for me. I couldn’t wear them for more than an hour without causing my ears pain.
As for the other two, the AirPods are so ergonomic that I’d often forget that they’re in my ears, but they frequently slip out of place. The Bose’s are more noticeable, but never cause me any discomfort and stay firmly in place.
Awesome video❤️
And what about the sound? What one sounded the best?
@@jobra7624 All Sound great, but I prefer the Bose. I find them to sound incredibly clear and crisp with a good amount of bass; but it’s completely subjective. I would say to go with the ones that have all the features you need, as each pair provides wonderful audio quality 😊
This is ridiculous, silicone tips cost like 5 dollars only.
I have small ear canals. I can wear AirPod Pros for hours and be fine. I’ve never had that experience with any other brand, I always feel discomfort or pain. I wanna test try the Bose Quietcomfort. But that’s not exactly easy to do. I also once lost headphones for about 5 months. The Pros make that a much harder feat. Looks like I’m buying Pros again, cheers for the comparisons mate.
For me, clear sound and phenomenal convenience in my daily life and work life made me choose air pods pro 2 over everything else.
If you're an apple user, it's just so well integrated into the ecosystem - it's crazy.
I wear them at least 8h a day. Even if I'm not listening to anything all the time.
Have the pros 2 and really like it, but I have to admit BOSE is on a league of their own with ANC.
Had the WF1000XM3 since launch. I also own AirPods Pro and a week ago bought the Bose QC 2. XM3’s way better than the AirPods Pro (v1). But could not get them to stay in my ears. Was going to buy the XM4’s, but read too many fit problems as well.
Totally agree the Bose stay in perfectly and subjectively sound better than my XM3’s - considerably better. Hardly hear anything with ANC on with the Bose or Sony.
I haven’t tried the Sony’s, but I had the AirPod Pro 2’s and Bose QC 2’s and it was definitely Bose all the way for me. I really wanted to be happy with the AirPods Pro 2’s for their Apple ecosystem friendliness but it really wasn’t close. The Bose had better noise cancelling, better sound, and so much more comfortable because they don’t require as deep a fit for a great seal.
That said I really do like using my AirPod 3’s for watching the Apple TV. I’m not in desperate need for noise cancellation. I can enjoy the spatial audio, and I love that I don’t have to jam them into ear canal to sound good.
I know I’m in the minority. I know people love their AirPods Pro 2’s. My wife likes hers. Like I said I really wanted to, but if your on the fence you really got to at least try out the Bose QC 2’s. There are shortcomings for sure, but the comfort, sound, and noise cancelling is insanely good.
What are the shortcomings?
@@alvlahoss3018, no wireless charging. If you’re heavy in the Apple ecosystem then it’s not as seamless to connect with all your devices as AirPods. Bose got the really important stuff right though….noise cancellation, comfort, and simply incredible sound.
@@Hookmeister he mentioned in the video when not playing any music on the QC 2s there is some white noise, how apparent/true is this??
@@ryant1236 it's there. I don't use transparency so I don't notice it really but I can see why it would irritate some people.
What they don't mention is that airpods can have a coil whine when nothing is playing too so it's more common than people think. Mileage may vary.
The AirPods have a better balance
Joshua great content, I am purchasing buds based on your outcome, so no pressure. Thanks! 1 comment maybe consider that all listeners don’t know all the terms. But I am nit picking!
Great Review. Picked up the Bose QCII. Sooooo happy I did! Being an apple Fan boy apple makes good electronics.. but as far as audio, Apple compared to the Bose, Bose excels in every way. ** BOSE QCII: Sound: 10 out of 10 ( apple has no depth and lacks bass ), Comfort 10 out of 10, Noise Canceling 10 out of 10, UI 10 out of 10, Case 9 out of 10 ( no wireless ) no big deal, Look 10 out of 10 (doesn't look like Smurf hairdryers ) bass, treble, mids 10 out of 10 well balanced but can be exaggerated if that is your deal., APP&UI 10 out of 10,
In a nutshell, " There is no comparing Apples with Bose "
I think you forgot a major point, Spatial audio ... I never tried the latest Sony's but the AirPods Pro are so awesome just for that + head tracking for movies which is like magic.. I didn't found such a large sound stage with the quietcomfort 2.
The transparency mode is what get me into buying a pair of airpods pro, that one is at level 999 while all, ALL of the competitor at
