Our Verdict
Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds Truly Wireless
Creative Aurvana Ace 2 True Wireless
The Creative Aurvana Ace 2 True Wireless and Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds Truly Wireless both support the aptX codecs for high-quality audio. The Bose additionally have a more effective active noise cancelling (ANC) system and a significantly longer battery life to a single charge. If surround sound is on your list, these include that as well. They use aptX Adaptive which adjusts audio quality based on your connection, with a gaming mode. The Creative buds have ANC, but it's not as effective. Their app has an EQ that gives you more control over the tuning. You also get aptX Lossless, which, unlike aptX Adaptive, consistently outputs lossless audio. However, you don't get surround sound with these.
