Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds (2nd Gen) vs Sony WF-1000XM6

The Sony WF-1000XM6 and the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds (2nd Gen) have very similar feature sets, and choosing between them will come down to minute differences. Both have warm default sound profiles, with further customization options available via their companion apps, and both feature outstanding ANC systems. The Sony's memory foam ear tips allow them to attenuate more treble range noise, though. However, the Bose are more comfortable and stable for most people, with a better build quality. They also have a slightly better mic recording quality. That said, if battery life is important to you, you'll want to take the Sony for their 8.6-hour battery life (compared to the Bose's 6.5). The Sony also have broader wireless connectivity support, as they're compatible with the LC3 codec as well as LDAC.
