ADDITIONAL REVIEW NOTES:
The new AirPods Pro 2 may look similar to the original AirPods Pro, but I assure you, these are a completely different experience and I am blown away by how much improvement we are seeing here. Similarly, I recently said the Bose Quietcomfort Earbuds 2 may very well be the most improved pair of earbuds this year! The original versions of these two earbuds were duking it out two years ago for the best ANC earbuds, but now with these massive improvements, it is time to compare the new AirPods Pro 2 to the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds 2. I promise, this is going to be interesting
ANC TEST
Bose claims to have the world's best ANC
AirPods claim to be 2x better than the previous ANC they had
These are both insanely good!
Bose has 11 levels between transparency and ANC but can never turn off
AirPods only have ANC/off/Transparency
Both have adaptive transparency with dB threshold
Makes these something you could perhaps wear at a concert to protect your ears
You’re going to hear different and conflicting analyses between these earbuds, so I want to quantify it for you and remove any doubt.
Airplane on speaker - vol 35 on Bose vs 27 on AirPods
Air conditioner test - disappears completely with airpods, can still hear it with bose like a gentle hum
Female voice test - could not hear until volume 16, airpods = 13
Wind test - both are about the same. Most angles are find, but a stiff breeze head on is definitely very audible
Airpods are better at achieving complete silence, but Bose is better at muting loud sounds. AirPods perform better up to around 52dB, but above that and especially above 55dB, the Bose earbuds perform better.
Transparency is really good on both of them. Undoubtedly two industry leaders, but Bose are a little hissier - otherwise super accurate
With music playing, Bose sounds like the music is playing in the room and not your ears - amazing!
MIC TEST
AUDIO QUALITY
Both just SBC & AAC codecs
Bose have warm and capable bass and you can really hear the music in a natural balance, or adjust via the EQ in the app. Great dynamic sound with thumpy bass, a realistic sound to live recordings, and an accurate sound for studio recordings. As I mentioned originally, they are slightly less detailed than something like the Sennheisers or B&O EX
AirPods have volume adjusted tuning for a great balance at any volume
Bose has more bass and especially powerful subbass which contributes to the more powerful ANC, AirPods have more clarity
Bose has a very wide soundstage. Fills the room in aware mode
It really comes down to preference. You can’t go wrong with either of them
FEATURES
Find My
SPEAKER TEST (on case)
Bose works well with android or apple
Both have mono mode
Neither has multipoint, but AirPods sort of do for apple products only, Bose has app switching
Tap and swipe controls vs Pinch and swipe
EarScan for 360 audio in AirPods
Bose plays calibration sound for each ear
Bose has “modes”
DESIGN
Bose case has no wireless charging
AirPods case can charge qi, magsafe, apple watch, or lightning
Bose battery = 6/24hrs
AirPods battery = 6/30hrs
AirPods are smaller with smaller case
AirPods have lanyard hook
Both are comfortable, and both eventually fall out of my left ear
Bose has wing tip, so more secure
AirPods are smaller though and have an XS tip added this time
AirPods have skin detection

@@InternetDisplayofPower sometimes he does it, sometimes he doesn't. Since I don't care for Apple, this video was more for my entertainment but I figured I'd help y'all out 😂
Great review and happy to have subbed. I recently got my QC2 and it feels much better than the previous model. As an airline pilot, i usually do walkarounds with a very loud surrounding. ANC worked extremely well and what surprised me is that while talking to my wife during the walkaround, she wasnt listening to the loud machines around me at all. Not to mention the new light weight design which made it less heavy on my ears. All in all i highly recommended it
This the review I needed. Also airline pilot haha.
nice review capt. aircraft engineer here😅🤘🏼
hello, which ones cancel noise best while in a room with outside dog barking? thanks
Same lol
i am trying to get one for dh
I think some of the difference in quiet rooms is ear geometry. My Bose QC buds completely block out my AC 4 feet away with no music, but if I don't have a great seal in my ears, I can detect some hum. I have a smaller ear size which helps with the passive NC that supports the ANC. I really think the noise canceling on the Bose is just destroying the competition right now... But I am less than thrilled with some of the feature tradeoffs at the $300 price point.
I just received my QC II’s, phenomenal! Noise cancellation is great, fit is great and so comfortable in my ears! Love them!
You are the first to post this! I was waiting for this. Thank you!!
Just the video I was waiting for. Thanks!
It was fun to make. Which pair do you like better?
@@MikeOBrienMedia I’m currently rocking the Sennheiser MTW3’s, but the tech-tation to switch is always present 🤷🏻♂️
For the original AirPods I noticed that even plating quite music or white noise helps a ton with ANC, more than other ANC headphones I have used.
Just the video that I have been waiting for. Very detailed. Thank you very much!
2:05 lol love the apple sticker on z fold 😂
I just returned my AirPod Pro II’s and bought the new Bose QC II’s and I absolutely love them. The ANC is better on Bose. They fit way better in my ear and do not fall out in my ear. The only downside is that the case doesn’t have wireless charging but not really a big deal. I bought these to listen to music and they sound fantastic
Appreciate the attention to detail Mike thanks!
Exactly the video I wanted!
I have the new Bose QC 2's and the APP 2's... and have been testing them out. I'll say this... Apple made great improvements on their ANC. They also seem to have improved their multipoint connectivity (though maybe I just didn't notice it as much before... since I avoided using them). The APP's always did a good job of finding them, but now it's practically effortless. Crude example: If I'm listening to Spotify on my iPad/Mac and then rush to the bathroom (bad burrito), it immediately switches over to my iPhone (without me doing anything). Same with Apple TV. The second you switch to a new Apple device, it knows... and either asks you ("Hey, bro...") or does it for you. Again, it's probably always been like that... but I'm noticing it now.
I go back and forth over which SOUNDS better. Love the bass on the Bose, but... the APP 2's also sound really nice (a bit... clearer; note: Bose lets you customize the sound, so... Apple can't really compete with that). Where I thought Spatial was gimmicky before, I now feel that... some songs actually sound richer and more 3-dimensional with the APP 2's... though I still hate having to keep my head focused straight (WTF; not something that interests me). As for how they look... oh, the Bose are much cooler (I've always thought the APP's were a little douchey). I also think the touch controls on the Bose QC 2's are much easier (the pinching and grabbing on the APP 2's can be a bit annoying).
I don't know. I need to test them out in real-world conditions (loud restaurant, kids). I'm torn at the moment, though.
Here's my breakdown (again... so far):
Best ANC: Bose (the APP 2's are close, but Bose shuts EVERYTHING out)
Best Sonic Footprint: They're split evenly right now. I like the bass on the Bose, but the APP 2's are clean/clear.
Best Fit: Different for everyone, but for me... Bose (I don't have to fuck with them; they just... fit)
Best Look: Subjective, but I think the Bose look pretty damn cool (and the APP 2's still look silly)
Best Charging/Case: APP 2's (smaller case; wireless charging is a plus, though I can live without it)
Best Multipoint Connectivity: APP 2's (assuming you're an Apple user; it's all manual with Bose)
Best Touch Controls: Bose (I also like that I can create a "Music" mode where it's set halfway between ANC & transparent)
Best App: Bose is the only one with an app... but you do need to open the app (whereas APP 2 assistance is baked in if you have an iPhone)
Best Price Point: Well... the APP 2's are cheaper
I should point out that the Bose are a bit harder to get out of the case.
Oh... side note. I read a comment once about how the APPs (either version) have an "Off" mode... and Bose doesn't ("BAM! TAKE THAT, Bose!!!"). Yeah... so? I have two primary modes when it comes to headphones (earbuds or over ear): listening to something and not listening to something. If I'm NOT listening to something, guess what I'm not going to be using? Bingo. So I've never, personally, seen a reason for an "Off" mode... unless, maybe... you accidentally dipped them in super glue and can't get them out (where maybe that's how you'll go through life now... with earbuds permanently attached to your head). That, or maybe some pickpocket took off with your case. You reach down into your sling bag/purse, but realize it's gone... along with the condoms and breath mints. Those were really good mints, too. What a shitty day now.
Which one am I leaning toward? Again, I'm torn. I prefer Bose headphones, in general. I don't really care about wireless charging... provided the battery life is good... and both cases last for days (besides, I rarely use earbuds for an extended period of time; if I'm on a plane, I go with my all-time favorites... the wired Bose QC 20's; they have great ANC and soft tips that don't feel heavy after hours of use). Going back to these new models... I have a feeling Bose will win out if only because the touch controls are better (for me), you can create custom listening modes, and they have the best ANC (and I am extremely noise sensitive). You can't really go wrong with either of them, though (or the Sony's). It just depends on what matters most.
Very helpful, thanks!!
Thx man. Would you say that the bose is better for like workouts?
@@juliuscalisthenics1168 I'd say it depends most on fit (whichever ones stay in best), but... the QC's are sweat and water resistant. I don't think the APP 2's are, though (but I'm sure they're perfectly fine for a workout). Unless you're drenched in sweat, you'll be fine.
@@bensahomie9666 No problem. Happy to help.
@@juliuscalisthenics1168 both are IPX4 rated water and sweat resistant, so there no difference from that standpoint
Thanks for the awesome review!!
Any insight on which one will finally work well with Microsoft Team calls?? Particularly on a PC vs Mac?
Great review! The multi-point is the deciding factor for me...thank you for the information.
So I ordered both. Tested AirPods Pro 2 and Bose QC2 couple weeks daily now. Literally swapping each headset back and forth in real time in different environments doing calls, music, driving etc coffee shop, loud traffic, gym noise working out etc. BOSE no question leads in noise suppression over all competition including vs Apple pro 2. If your highest priority is best ANC, go BOSE. But After going back-and-forth with both headsets in real time though, imo, Apple is decent at ANC but equal or better in all other feature sets. Ease of pairing, multiple devices, ease of use without digging into separate Bose app, smaller case, better battery, better Siri compatibility, slightly better voice call quality. And, Apple slightly more comfy vs Bose if wearing for hours.
And, my ears have issues holding ANY earbuds brand in place without coming loose. I have ALL AirPod models plus others. Bose definitely won’t fall out if you have problematic ears, you literally have to PULL them out lol. And relatively comfy for up to an hour. The Apple pro 2 isn’t as fail proof but stays put stable enough. Overall specs winner: Apple. And I graded the music & movie sound quality carefully, a virtual tie. (And that’s actually considering I was hoping that Bose would be better.)
So my testing is done. The BOSE are excellent. But so are Apple pro 2’s for daily living and overall different situations usage, I’m keeping the Apples and returning the Bose. They are a close 2nd but less convenient and cost more.
Ive gotta say. The ANC in Apples part is very sufficient. If you start audio playback, there probably wont be anything left to hear. Except you only listen at 5-10% volume.
Thanks for your comments! I’m sending my new Bosebuds back as well.
I personally went the other way, I returned the AirPods Pro 2 back and kept the Bose.
Sturdiness is my main priority, especially because AirPods Pro tend to slip when working out.
Also, I already own the gen 1 so I use them for daily use, and then for workouts I use Bose.
@@dagmarreyes7570 I def see that. The Bose DONT slip out and have a better airtight seal. I have gen 1 also, they’re nearly as good as the gen 2. I was on the fence about returning the Bose. They really stay put and sound great. Just the iOS feature set for the AirPods like hey siri, or replying to SMS verbally and voice announcements alerts all of which Bose won’t do. I’m nit picking but that tipped the scales for me. Bose rock for ANC and sturdiness. In the gym nothing is better.
man how much side money you have to buy all of these earbuds
perfectly presented review! very straight to the point about ANC!!
Thanks for the clear and upto the point review
Mike u gave such breif info and I am happy that now I M clear and I know which one to choose thanx mate
Thanks for this review very details
Now does phone call quality vary on apple devices vs Android devices for the Air pods? I have an S21 Ultra, my original air pod pros, the call quality was horrible, everyone can hear everything in the back ground compared to my galaxy buds.
Mike when you did the Mic test, why did the Bose sounded hollow? Did you download the Bose software on your phone? Any difference?
I picked up the airpod pro 2's last night and gotta say, the transparency mode is much better than the first gen. Sounds very natural and sounds like I'm not wearing anything in my ears. So far, sounds much better than gen 1. I'm still using my over the head bose qc35s at home while airpods are for on the go, works out just fine.
Same here. I've used Bose going back to their wired headphones and earphones. Finally switched to the AirPod Pro 2nd Gen. They just work with everything Apple. No setup hassles. Not the best ANC but very, very good.
I’m using the new AirPods right now in transparency mode. It’s fantastic
great video . I like to use them while I'm commuting to work using trains and underground in London. I currently have the original Bose QC and do like them and also have the Beats Fit Pro for when I'm running. Is it worth upgrading the Bose ?
I go to you for all things audio. A much appreciated video.
I had the first version of both of these. I finally went with the Bose because the Airbuds kept falling out of my ear and one time almost got chewed up by my garbage disposal. After that, the other details didn’t really matter.
Love your videos and please do a Momentum True Wireless 3 vs Airpods Pro 2 comparison!
Yes I want that too
I’m using the AirPods Pro 2 now it’s the improvements are awesome and if you AirPods are messed up it’s worth an upgrade
Great video! You made a comment about the Sennheisers and I wanted to know if you think they’re better than the APP2 & QC II’s? Please let me know… thanks again!
Bose is the best! I have recently requested Bose for replacement, within a guarantee, it was incredibly easy, for free and so fast! Thank you so much!!!
I’m your opinion do u like the silicon tips on the pros or no tips on the other AirPods?
Bose is a MUCH better choice for me. I’ve been fighting my AirPod Pros for 2 years now. In ANC mode, my right ear Bud will eventually go out causing a rattle noise that gets really annoying. It’s almost like the driver is blown and you get this really bad rattle. I’ve replaced the right ear Bud TWICE now and the 3rd one just did it again. Let me say that I take VERY good care of my headphones, I have cases for them and I have several pairs of different brands ranging from Soundcore, beats, Jaybirds and a few other leading brands so this issue isn’t from misuse. I’m just simply DONE with Apple AirPods man. Bose QC2 for the win.
I’ve got this exact issue with my right airpod pro, rattling noises which is massively amplified with the anc on
Apple shit is for kids
The microphone quality on the AirPod Pro 2s are insanely good!
I have been a very long time of Bose product user. So, I'm not planning to change that! :)
Great review you have made comparing these two products.
Not sure why no one does a more detailed review of the microphone performance, especially in a variety of noisy environments. This is my number one concern when buying earbuds. I did appreciate how you at least included a brief example of their sound outside in front of a noisy street. The AirPods were the clear winner in your street test. Thank you.
Agreed. I have yet to find any reviewers spending much time testing the phone call background performance. This is also my biggest complaint about my 1st gen Airpods. When I am out and about (and I live in a large metro/noisy city), I cannot really speak on the phone with my airpods, because people are hearing way too much background noise which makes them useless for that purpose which is extremely frustrating for me. I use a headset in my motorcycle helmet from Sena, and when I speak on the phone, people tell me that they cannot even tell that I am riding, virtually no background/wind noise. I would like that kind of performance on my next pair of earbuds, especially at these premium prices.
@@hlj013 I drive a truck for a living. Which is too loud for crappy earbud microphones to work well. Before I was a delivery driver and could get by with cheap earbuds. I found a brand(Blitzwolf) I liked and went thru several of theirs. But now I drive full time, no delivery. So I broke down and bought a cheap headset with a microphone for $45. It works great! But gets uncomfortable after a bit. So I think after hearing how good the new AirPods are I’ll get a set of them next. Thanks for your info.
Try out EBPMAM review
Fully agree, cant find reviewer focused on mic test
Can you please compare both generation AirPods Pro
Love your reviews and the apple sticker on a samsung is everything. 😝
You are reviewing exactly what I need to know, you’re the real MVP, thanks man.
Thanks for the video Mike. I was wondering what earbuds have louder sound the Bose qc2 or Sennheiser Tw3 ???
did he say bose 2 doesnt have anc off mode? you have touch and hold. different than qc earbuds 1.
Will go for the Bose, as I like working from cafes and hence need to blockout loud voice noises. Thanks!
In 2020, I bought the Jabra 75T, based partly on your test. And you did mention the hiss on the left ear bud. My tinnitus got so much worse after using them, that I gave them to a family member. Great sound quality though. Thanks for the test. Will look into both these 2 models, as well as the Jabra 85T.... I am a little confused by Jabra's new model numbers... Are they below the 85Ts, because they're cheaper...
Jabra 7 elite plus
this is the video I needed. THANK U SO MUCH BRO! U are one of the best and imma tell you your competition rn. Flossy Center and u are one of the best channels rn when it comes to ear buds. KEEP IT UP

I’m looking for comparison on very loud windy cycling ride. I didn’t get the clear picture which one was best suited for loud windy rides.
I got AirPods Pro 2 but not happy with it in windy conditions.
Would you say Bose works better in windy??
Thanks for a thorough and helpful review. As a regular user of ear buds for phone calls more than anything else, plus listening to Audible books, my research elsewhere and your review suggest the Apple product is the better one. Your phone call showed the Apple earbuds sounded much better than the Bose ones which noticeably let in the sound of the traffic behind. And keeping to the Apple ecosystem is better.
I firstly had the same thoughts about mic quality but the more I hear the mic test even with closed eyes I no longer know which sounds more pleasant in long term calls. I imagine the Airpod voice sounds harsh (loud ok but harsh)
I upgraded from qc1 to qc2 recently, and I'm very happy with it. Especially, the ANC is way better than the 1st one, and I'm pretty sure you can't find better bluetooth earphone with a better ANC than the one from Bose. I use iphone and ipad, and macbook, but airpods still need some time to catch up the quality of the sound from other brands. Bose works great with apple products anyways, I don't worry that much.
Some people mention a white noise in the QC2. I have the QC1 and don't notice any white noise or cabin pressure feel. Do you hear any white noise, and is it loud?
@@thundergus I don’t notice it that much, tbh. It is great earbuds and I jusy love the bass and the new design!!
Do you need to switch between devices in the settings or is it seamless like in Qc 35 ?
hello, which ones cancel noise best while in a room with outside dog barking? thanks
@@thundergusthe white noise is how they achieved the ANC. It’s always there but it’s very quiet. You can’t hear it with music on. So if it would bother you, don’t get it. Let’s say if you wanna use them for sleep.
How is the audio quality versus the original Bose buds?
Which would have a better anc in the gym? I already have buds live for normal use, I’m looking for one for the gym. Which one would you really recommend?
This is what I've been waiting for
Bought both. Returned Apple today. They are decent but ANC randomly kept turning off. The bose while not quite as convenient have been just great.ANC is killer.
hello, which ones cancel noise best while in a room with outside dog barking? thanks
Which do you think is the best for listening to music?
I just received today the new AirPods Pro 2. I’m blown away. I think they’re amazing. In comparison I have the previous model of the Bose quiet comfort. Also very good.
if you are blown away by the airpods pro 2 than you will be blown, thrown, overwhelmed, killed by the galaxy buds2 pro and sony xm4, even the linkbuds
If the sound if the pros are good enough? I used have QC1 s now im having airpods pro gen 1 but i fear im gonna miss the bass in gen 2 and thats why im thinking on QC2
@@mingmarlama7987 there’s an xm5? Lol exciting!!
@@mingmarlama7987 no I believe earbud wise we still only have the Sony xm4’s. Xm5’s won’t come out until at least next year
Hey Mike. Which ones cancel noise best while in a room with outside dog barking?
which are best for call clarity?
Just bought the Bose QC 2. All reviews indicate talking on the phone is nice but when I use it, my callers complain. Is there a setting I accidentally triggered? It seems pointing the dongle in different ways affects the sound quality too
On the first Gen. of Bose QC Earbuds, there is a button in the inside. This button allows you to switch between the paired source-Devices. It works pretty well.
Is the button on the back of the snd. Gen. capable of this too?
Unfortunately no.
Wow, the mic sounded so much better on the AirPods. The Bose weren't as clear, and there was an odd echo. Thanks for this review.
I think you need to watch and listen to the vids again? Lol the AirPod pro 2 you can heard it slightly louder but echoing. Bose is less echoing and more clear
@@billybrown5941 To be very honest, the AirPods Pro 2 was much clearer
Agreed-the AirPods sounded a lot more natural. The Bose sounded like he was in an underground parking garage.
@@billybrown5941 if ur biased just say that lmao
@@billybrown5941 Bro did you just watch another video? There are worlds between the two videos we say. The air pods sounded super clear and they even cancelled the noices from the traffic. The Bose quality sounded like I am talking to a friend while hiking on a hill with hardcore wind whistling
So basically depends if you Android or iOS and which sweatshop you prefer?
Did apple change the sound it makes in your ear when you connect to the air pods? I prefer the Bose connection tone having owned both 1st generation APP and QC. I remember the apple ones would make a terribly loud sound in your ear letting you know it connected to bluetooth.
The best buds are the ones that you can wear comfortably and they stay in your ears.
After a VERY long search I can say those are the Bose Earbuds for me because the the earwings.
I am missing charging times of the buds and the cases. Everything else is very detailed. Thanks! Probably going with the AirPods. iPhone user here
Left ear one falling down happens with me too...crazy XD
Which would do the best job blocking snoring? My AirPods Pro gen 1 don’t do a great job.
The mic definitely sounded better on the Airpods, but I mainly get these for traveling on flights, so ANC for that is #1 for me, I'd probably go with Bose then, (I have an older Quiet Comfort with dog collar, still use them and they are great!). Love the comparison videos! Keep it up! 💯
Thinking about getting the bose. I have the Sony m4 earbuds but they aren't comfortable. But sound amazing.
@@emanuelcarmona9930 I don't think you'd go wrong with either, I've had great experience with Bose though and if I have to get them again, I wouldn't complain (although I just bought some pixel bud pros which handled my last flight pretty good).
@@michael_budda how would you rate the pixel buds pro? I had the first ones and I loved it.
@@emanuelcarmona9930 the ANC isn’t as good as the Bose I have, however it’s still pretty good. I like that they are more compact and that they have Google assistant built in. The sound quality is fine for videos and music but not mind blowing. I did have some BT lag when gaming on my laptop but videos were playing fine so that confused me 🤷♂️. I didn’t really get them for gaming anyway. I’m still concerned about the fit, I’ve tried a few tips but to me they just don’t feel secure enough, however they have not fallen out. The annoying thing is they don’t have a standalone app really; the app is built into your android BT settings menu, so it’s an extra step to get to it to turn off ANC…etc. they need to make that more accessible. I haven’t had any other true wireless buds to compare to, but I like them so far, I’d say they’re pretty solid all around, the Google assistant is the main reason I’m sticking with them.
I have been using qc30 for 7 years, there is no doubt that the anc of qc2 is better, specifically in that it can completely eliminate the noise of the fan. But for me the qc2 is not as comfortable as the qc30, especially when sleeping. I tried to use AirPodspro2 last week, although the anc is normal but too small, it is not only easy to carry but also has wireless charging, the qc2 is still not perfect, but I waited too long for the bose.
Did you test all of those features on that Galaxy fold?
Which bud works as a primary. As we have seen the previous Bose war bud the right one was the primary to connect. So is there a same scenario with Bose qc2 as well. Kindly let me know. Thank you
multipoint is such a great feature. crazy to think at this pricepoint (not to mention, no wireless charging??!!!) you dont get it while many of the smaller brands like Soundcore, Eerfun, JBL etc all provide multipoint functionality and wireless charging at a fraction of the price.
after a month of having airpod pros 2, i dont feel the noise cancellation anymore. it sucks because i thought it would be better, i mean the noise cancelling isnt as strong as they used to be after 1 month of using it.
The Apple AirPods Pro 2 won’t stay in my ear and I’ve tried all the wingtips I was going to switch to the qc 2 but it sounds like u said they don’t stay in your ear either?
Do the Bose still have a find my feature?
I had both AirPods Pro 1 and Bose QC 1 and soon just purchased AirPods Pro 2 and within a few days will have Bose QC 2. For me while at work related functions I enjoy using the Airpods because the ability to read my latest text and reply to that text hands free is very convenient and you don’t give up much in sound quality. If I’m relaxing at home and want to just listen to music I always grab the Bose QC since for me personally they just make the music sound so good as if music is being played in front of you. Also when out in public I do prefer the Bose noise cancelling over AirPods since it drowns out all of the sound around you. Appreciate the video , but I’ll continue to use both of them and at least now the Bose want take up as much room in pocket carrying around.
Gonna purchase bose qc earbuds 2. Thx for your review with such details.
Same- have both of the 1st gen and I was hoping to replace both w one of the new ones, but it seems like I’ll be buying both again 😅
May I ask how long does the battery of AirPods Pro 1 and Bose QC 1 last after 2 years heavily using. My airpods 1 died after 2years, and AirPods Pro 1 decreased apparently after 2 years.
@@haojia4528 after about 1.5 years I haven’t noticed any difference in battery life tbh.
I think AirPods provided a much clearer microphone while not transmitting the traffic. Bose sounded a bit muffled and you could hear the traffic in the background.
In real time what is the better battery with ANC on the whole time ??
I just got the new Bose QC II and it was very impressive as far as sound and noise canceling. My complaint is if I only wear the left ear piece it keeps stopping only to find out that you use independently. Is the airpod the same?
No need to worry, bose said that it will be fixed in the next software update which shouldn't be too far from now.
I've heard that you can only use the right earbud on the Bose if you like using one earbud at a time. Have you found this to be true?
Excellent review. I found the microphone and ANC performance in the street stunning for the Airpods but having owned the first set of Bose QC earbuds I just can't give up that warm and 'full-bodied' sound I get from them!
I have an iphone 13 pro and a windows lenovo laptop. I need the earbuds for business calls as well as listening to music. ANC is also important to me. Which ones you recommend?(maybe none of them?)
Hi, Which have better bass Bose QuietComfort Earbuds I or Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II ?
I found the mic on the AirPods was clearer than the Bose. FYI I don’t see the link you mentioned to find the cheapest price
Do the Bose have the tracking feature like AirPods ?
the old bose buds have the volume swipe thing too
Did you use a iPhone for the Airpods Pro 2?
Hey Mike, can you make a comparison between Sony XM4, Sennheiser MTW3 and the new Bose QC2?
Both seemed like there was a delayed bleed through that's sounds somewhat distorted in both recordings. Not sure if this is a recording artifact or a real representation. Regarding mic tests
I have the 1st gen AirPods which I’ll keep and went with the Bose for the sound, it’s life changing.
AirPods 2 are great. Test them.
I did the same but went Beats for the base.
Had me on the mic quality... Thanks!
The Apple AirPod Pro 2 were superior for phone calls, a very important feature for me. Thanks for a great, balanced, review.
Yep. I got the Bose and it’s pretty lousy for phone calls. The incoming is crystal clear but the outgoing is actually bad.
That’s my concern I think there is nothing like apple to answer phone calls over all if isn’t apple won’t work same as the other brands for what u need
@@pmomalley apple overrated
How’s the lost tracking on the boss
Can you please compare these to the b&o ex
I have an iPhone and I went for the Pro Gen 2s , I tried out the Bose QcIIs as well , but Apple just does it better with compatibilty with its devices , I can go for a run with my apple watch and play music leaving my phone at home , I can switch connection easily from My Mac to iPhone if I get any call (I know Multidevice support is common in Premium Headphones even some budget ones now) But if you have an iPhone you need to get the AirPods for sure.
What about comfort ? which buds hurt ears after hours??
Good review, thanks. BTW it's a thing ... the left ear is wider than the right. Cheers.
Which is better to sleep on? Many of us use music to help us sleep and the ANC.
Thank goodness for the facts. I’m going for Bose because a bass quality
I do a fair bit of online gaming, but lately headsets have aggravated the top of my head and it's not clearing up. Wireless earbuds would be a very welcome relief, assuming they work with PCs. The Bose ones in particular are of interest to me.
AirPods mic definitely sounded better, but since I’m not an Apple guy, I went with Bose, I mostly use my ANC for flights anyway so that was more of a priority. The QCII were the first buds that actually stayed in my ear. I’ve tried Samsung Buds, Pixel Buds (A & Pro), Jabra, none stayed in my ear! Although the right is looser than the left, it stays secure. I can finally walk around, talk and eat without having to worry about constantly adjusting my ear buds…what a freaking relief…
I have been researching for ever to try and understand the answer to one question ……..
Which ones are going to mute the sound of my own tools working as I speak through the EarPods
The original AirPod pros are great with sound cancellation but I can’t talk to anyone through them because any noise that is made seems to be enhanced greatly through those earbuds
How do the AirPods Pro 2 compare to Power Beats Pro?
Awesome review. I’m in between both. I work in a school and almost all students have air pods so it’s a little annoying. And I’ve always loved the bass from Bose. I’ve had them for my truck speakers. So maybe I’ll end up leaning for the Bose ones
