If you want a solid all-around pair of wireless earbuds under $250, I’d go with the [Bose QuietComfort Earbuds](https://amzn.to/48sITAP). They have excellent active noise cancellation, very clear call quality, and a comfortable fit that works for long listening sessions. Sound quality is rich and balanced, and they’re reliable on both Android and iOS. For the price, they’re hard to beat if you want a mix of comfort, mic quality, and overall performance.
I see. I have the OnePlus buds 4, Earfun Air pro 4, Soundpeats H3, Bose Quietcomfort 2024.
The ANC on OnePlus Buds 4 is quite good. Not sure about the tube though. My usage is more towards office noise. The ANC works great with office noise.
But the best ANC among the 4 earbuds is Bose Quietcomfort 2024.
Yes quite frustrating when watching a movie in bed before dozing off.. it does cut off connection if you dont move your head.. sound for movies are excellent pity bose not even listening to any of our problems or request at all.. ive also sent a support msg to them and theres no replies at all.. this earbuds only work well for my web meetings and while im actively moving around.. wish they would just address this simple issue.. if they dont fix this issue i think eventually we all will move on to other brands in future.. bose no longer carries the hardworking spirit anymore and they are just getting rich, fat and lazy..
I just bought the Bose Quiet Comfort (2024) and they do a great job. Ear buds with stems will never do as good a job as the nub style on ANC in my opinion. The fit and seal is a big part of noise cancellation. My wife has the Airpods Pro and they don't come close to the Bose. My primary use case is phone and teams calls, in and out of the office as I have better ear buds for music and the tests showed the Bose also had excellent mic quality - better than the XM5 ear buds. Music is not bad at all but certainly not reference quality.
Update: I was still in the return window and sent the Bose back. A lot of drop out and connectivity issues. Sad because on every other aspect they were pretty solid.
I have Bose QC (2024), and they're amazing as far as I'm concerned. My partner snores heavily. So much in fact that I have tried several earbuds for ANC and the QuietComfort's without a doubt serve their purpose. And I get a good eight hours. I've heard the Ultras are more or less slightly better. Airpods are alright (only had 2nd gen) but my Bose are the only ones that properly kill high, mid and low end frequencies. Of course your mileage may vary. Some other replies will give you a well rounded idea of what will best suit you.
Wish I could add to that conversation. It does seem with electronics nowadays, the “latest and greatest” really isn’t that. Rather something has quietly been removed or modified from the previous iteration and not everyone loves that kind of change.
I was only able to get these as they were on sale for $129 when I was really looking for another pair of AirPods Pro 2. Thank goodness I spotted these. Just the added eq alone makes it worth it.

Apple-integrated, great ANC but can cause ear pain.
