Our Verdict
Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II Truly Wireless
Apple AirPods Pro (2nd generation)
The Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II Truly Wireless and the Apple AirPods Pro (2nd generation) are both great in-ears with different strengths. Both earbuds have similarly great levels of noise isolation thanks to their ANC systems, but the Bose are more comfortable in-ears. Their companion app also offers graphic EQ and presets to help you customize their sound. However, the Apple headphones are well-designed for Apple users. They have a more premium feel, have an H2 chip for seamless pairing with other iOS devices, and support Spatial Audio.
