Our Verdict

Beats Studio Pro Wireless

Bose QuietComfort Headphones Wireless

The Bose QuietComfort Headphones Wireless are better than the Beats Studio Pro Wireless in most ways. The Bose have a more comfortable fit and ANC performance. They also have a better microphone, which you can use with both Xbox and PlayStation consoles. The Beats, however, support Spatial Audio with head tracking to create a more immersive listening experience.
