QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds

I just got some AirPods Pro 3 last night in a raffle at work last night. I had just bought the Bose Quietcomfort Ultra at Costco that morning for $200. Between those two, the noise cancellation is close, but the transparency is much better on the AirPods. I have a headphone problem. I also have AirPods Pro 2, Pixelbuds Pro, Pixelbuds Pro 2, WF-1000XM4 and AirPods Max. I use a Pixel 10, but I also have a MacBook and an iPad, so I have a variety. I would say if you have an iPhone, the AirPods are the best by a wide margin. If you don't, take a look at the Bose.

Bose Quietcomfort Ultra. The noise cancellation is great.

My momentum 4s came in the mail is quiet comfort ultras they were pretty good I'm yet to see how the momentums sound

Thanks for sharing your perspective on both. I bought and tried both as well but found I couldn't get a good fit or seal with any of the Airpods Pro 3 eartips at all, so as a result the sound to me wasn't good. The call quality though was fantastic. For me, the Bose have the better fit and seal, and the ANC and sound are fantastic. Call quality on the Bose is OK but not great. In the end, I returned the AirPods and kept the Bose and am very satisfied with the purchase.

my 2 reccs would be (depending on your budget): 1)bose quiet comfort ultra buds. best ANC right now id say, super comfy with those little stability bands, and the app lets you bump mids/treble a touch so vocals pop without killing bass. 2) [these tagry ones](https://d19h9m82wn0kp9.cloudfront.net/?q=OC4EIG9) (no model name so linking). dirt cheap but they seal well, battery is ridiculous, and the case shows charge so you actually keep them topped up. not bose-level sound but for the price they’re clear enough.

Bose Quietcomfort Ultra earbuds 2nd gen Comfort, ANC, calls, absolutely great Sound quality is debatable, I like them with the default tuning, a lot of people say they're too boomy, muffled or too heavy on the bass - I found this to be the case only with the SBC coded, with AAC and AptX Lossless they're absolutely great imho. They're not the best sound wise to be absolutely honest, there's surely better sounding earbuds out there, but with the combination of the other factors I didn't find anything better at this moment.
