While both pairs have relatively similar specs, Apple\u2019s starting price remains at $249, the same as the original AirPods Pro, while Bose\u2019s latest pair raises the cost to a whopping $300.<\/p>\n<p>As we\u2019ll dig into further below, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/142272\/bose-quietcomfort-earbuds-2-review\/\">Bose QuietComfort Earbuds 2\u2019s higher price is all the more notable since the earbuds leave out extras you\u2019ll find in the AirPods Pro, including 3D Spatial Audio, a wireless charging case, and a few other convenience features.<\/p>\n<p>Bose\u2019s buds do have one undeniable edge over Apple\u2019s pair: thanks to an app for both iOS and Android, they\u2019re equally equipped for either side of the mobile aisle.

There are a few new vents, and the case now offers a lanyard cutout and a speaker so it can make a chime when lost, but otherwise, this is an unabashed double-down on the original AirPods Pro design.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s not necessarily a bad thing. In fact, given how much these earbuds have improved under the hood when it comes to performance, it\u2019s downright impressive. The earbuds retain their feather-light weight of just over five grams, which makes them seem to almost disappear in your ears, while a smaller-sized ear tip provides a new fit option.<\/p>\n<p>Otherwise, whether you loved or loathed the AirPods Pro\u2019s original fit, you\u2019ll be getting the same experience in the latest pair. And given how well they\u2019ve sold, it stands to reason most prospective shoppers are on board with that.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-142954 size-full\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2023\/01\/7498c953-1.jpg\" alt=\"Bose Quiet Comfort 2 Earbud in between fingers with stem back showing\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" data-credittext=\"Ryan Waniata \/ Review Geek\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Ryan Waniata \/ Review Geek <\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"greybox_callout\">\n<strong>Bose QuietComfort Earbuds 2 Design Specs:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Dimensions (each)<\/strong>: 30.48 x 17.27 x 22.35mm (1.2 x 0.68 x 0.88in)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Weight (each)<\/strong>: 6.24g (0.22oz)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Case Dimensions<\/strong>: 66.29 x 59.4 x 26.67mm (2.61 x 2.34 x 1.05in)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Case Weight<\/strong>: 59.8g (2.11oz)<\/li>\n<li><strong>IP Rating<\/strong>: IPX4<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p>Conversely, Bose\u2019s latest QuietComfort earbuds were given a full revamp, and considering the original pair\u2019s bulk and heft, that was all but inevitable. The QuietComfort Earbuds 2 are around 30% slimmer than their predecessors, while the charging case is\u00a0<em>much<\/em> more pocketable. The revamp is impressive given that, like Apple, Bose has improved performance across the board.<\/p>\n<p>The QuietComfort Earbuds 2\u2019s new stem-shaped (i.e. AirPods-shaped) design also weighs nearly two grams less than the original, making them more comfortable and easier to take along. Their system of three sizes of ear tips alongside three stability bands may be a bit more complicated, but it\u2019s also more flexible for a variety of ear shapes. And unlike Apple\u2019s buds, the QuietComfort Earbuds 2 are available in either black or white color schemes.<\/p>\n<p>Personally, I find the AirPods Pro with the medium ear tips to be comfier and stable enough for most activities, but Bose deserves credit for slimming down, lightening up, and creating a versatile fit system for multiple ear types.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Controls_and_Features\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_2\">Controls and Features<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Both pairs of earbuds are pretty well-matched for controls.

Even your own voice sounds more natural than it does with competitors.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, Apple\u2019s Adaptive Transparency mode, designed to limit the loudness of ambient noise, is strikingly responsive and natural sounding, so much so that Apple\u2019s representatives even recommended we try them when listening to loud music. While Apple doesn\u2019t claim they can protect your hearing in such settings, they do audibly lower the loudness in real-time, thanks to the H2 chip.<\/p>\n<p>Bose\u2019s QC Earbuds 2 offer their own form of adaptive transparency, ActiveSense, but in my testing it didn\u2019t quite seem to respond in real-time.

And for those who love to watch movies or listen to Dolby Atmos Music mixes, the 3D Spatial Audio is now personalized for even better instrumental placement. It\u2019s not really my thing, but it\u2019s a nice addition.<\/p>\n<p>For their part, Bose\u2019s QuietComfort Earbuds 2 offer similarly clear and detailed audio, and once again, I enjoyed their sound better than their predecessors.

The buds do sound a bit stylized, but I found myself enjoying instrumental timbres across genres, from the gold buzz of acoustic guitars to the clean and zippy runs of synths and keyboards.<\/p>\n<p>If you liked what you\u2019ve heard before from either Bose or Apple, this is an improvement for both pairs, and they should satisfy most listeners even when considering their high cost. For my money, Apple\u2019s sound signature is overall more accessible, but Bose\u2019s earbuds are a fun listen as well.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to calling, I\u2019ll give Apple the slight edge. They\u2019re the best pair I\u2019ve found when it comes to neutralizing wind and other noises without disturbing the caller on the other end. That said, both earbuds do a good job with phone calls, and even when I stepped outdoors or took them under loud fans, I had no complaints from callers.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Battery_Life\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_5\">Battery Life<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-143041\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2023\/01\/709faabc-1.jpg\" alt=\"Apple AirPods Pro 2 case in tree\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Kris Wouk \/ Review Geek<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"greybox_callout\">\n<strong>Apple AirPods Pro (gen 2) Battery Specs:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Playback time<\/strong>: 6 hours with ANC<\/li>\n<li><b>Quick Charge:\u00a0<\/b>5 mins for\u00a01 hour<\/li>\n<li><strong>Playback time (with case)<\/strong>: 30 hours<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p>This is another category in which the AirPods Pro (gen 2) and QuietComfort Earbuds 2 are (perhaps unsurprisingly) well-matched.

But in this case, it\u2019s a pretty simple equation.<\/p>\n<p>If you have an iPhone, Apple\u2019s AirPods Pro 2 are more than likely the best buds for you. They offer great sound, incredible noise canceling, Adaptive Transparency mode that sounds uncommonly natural, and they\u2019re chock full of iOS\/iPadOS\/macOS-friendly features that make them intuitive to use.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re an Android user and\/or you want the absolute best noise canceling available, Bose\u2019s Quiet Comfort Earbuds 2 are the better option. While they skip a few flagship features, they offer excellent performance, a slim and secure fit, and world-crushing noise canceling. They\u2019re more expensive, but for the most part, they live up to their premium price tag.<\/p>\n<p>In either case, you\u2019ll be getting a great pair of earbuds.
