I used the Apple AirPods ...Pro for a little over a year with my IPhone 11 to listen to music as well as long audio books, so they got a lot of usage. The sound quality on both of them is excellent in all categories; however, the Bose offer more powerfulI sound, a little better noise cancellation and fit the ear a little better. The Bose definitely fall out of my ears less and that is important to me given my active lifestyle and workouts. That said, the transparency mode that enhances ambient sound on the AirPods was much better, which can be an excellent feature for those with harder hearing. Additionally, the AirPods had better connection and interaction with the iPhone, especially switching between programs/apps/calls. I occasionally have connection issues with the Bose and my iPhone that I didn’t experience so much with the AirPods. So there are pluses and minuses to each one, and you just need to decide which features you value more to decide which listening device is best for your needs.

Well to be quite honest the sound is flawless,... the noise cancel is very good (can hear almost nothing outside the earphones, including my own voice,) the weight and size fit perfectly. I believe perhaps I received a bad pair as mine have trouble staying connected/powered on. I switch mine on and put them in my ears only to be greeted with “power o…” “connected t…” well let’s just say it just repeats these 2 lines over and over again until my frustration brews over and I throw them back in their case and into my bag. If they would work, they would be perfect for my work. I work In a very loud area where I’m constantly moving and they seem to cancel noise and fit so perfectly that they seemed most ideal compared to other headphones I’d tried. All in all it’s a 3 star for me, mainly because I’m not sure if the pair I received was flawed or if these headphones truly have these issues.

So you can't use the left e...arbud by itself, there's no EQ in the app for convenience, and the case for the thing is huge. Also w/ support for 24bit, it lacks higher than 48khz frequency response. Also. it lacks in the programmability of the swipe gestures which is SUPER disappointing However, the noise cancelling is VERY nice and pressureless.That said, I'ld still look elsewhere

I don't think I would pay full retail for th...e Bose Quiet Comfort earbuds. They are very good but when earbuds are close to $300 or more, that's too high. However refurbished these earbuds were down to $197 with an additional $70 off if purchased by Jan 31. At this price the Bose earbuds were very affordable. I had been using a much cheaper pair of earbuds. They had great reviews so I didn't know what to expect from the Bose. The sound was way better than my cheap earbuds. They are way bigger than my cheap pair but once in my ear I don't pay them any mind. They are just as comfortable if not more so than my smaller pair. Even though the Bose QC were refurbished, they look brand new. They also come with a 2 year warranty.
