Our Verdict
Beats Solo Pro Wireless
Bose QuietComfort Earbuds Truly Wireless
The Bose QuietComfort Earbuds Truly Wireless are better headphones than the Beats Solo Pro Wireless. The Bose are more comfortable, their ANC can block out more background noise, and they have a more neutral sound profile, which some users may prefer. However, the Beats have a better battery performance and an H1 chip, so you can seamlessly pair them with your Apple devices.
