Bose Ultra Open Earbuds vs Anker Soundcore C30i

The Bose Ultra Open Earbuds Truly Wireless are a bit better cuff-like buds than the Anker Soundcore C30i Truly Wireless, but the tier difference is enough to reasonably steer many people toward the latter. These niche designs prioritize awareness above sound quality, so they both sound bright with an unnaturally open passive soundstage and no isolation. The Bose are more comfortable because their flexible hinge adjusts to your ear's shape better, which allows for longer listening sessions. They leak less audio, so you don't annoy people nearby, and their mic sounds a bit better. They're less prone to command misfires, too. On the other hand, the Anker's battery is longer, and they fulfill the necessities like stability and build quality nearly as well as the Bose. Their sound quality and mic are more distorted, though.
