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

The Sony WH-1000XM6 and Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds (2nd Gen) are both flagship products from leading headphone brands. But they target different usages. The Sony are full-sized over-ears, while the Bose are earbuds. That makes the much smaller-sized Bose easier to toss in a pocket or small purse, while the larger Sony are bulkier and harder to carry around. That said, the Sony do fold in a little, reducing their footprint, and they come with a case that keeps them safe while in transit. The Sony headphones' larger size also means they're not practical for even moderately intense workouts, while the Bose come with stability fins to keep them secure in your ears while pushing your interval training to its limits. On the other hand, the Sony headphones' larger design helps give them a noticeably better mic than the Bose. And while the Bose still offer superb ANC, it's not quite on par with the Sony's.
