I just bought both and I own an iPhone and iPad. despite eco-system convenience, the Bose were the clear winner on both sound quality of music, comfort and ANC. These were things I cared about most. The Bose also do connect very seamlessly to my devices. I have very sensitive hearing and the Bose are amazing.

One of the better reviews! ( best! ) I own both, actually, my son and I have and tested: 1st gen Apple Airpods, and Apple AirPod II the Bose QC1, and QC2. My recent purchase of the Bose QCII hands down has been the best all year. 1000% HAPPY!! Build Quality 10, Fit 10, Look 10. Overall BOSE QCII sound quality is like a REALLY good cup of espresso.. full, and rich, with lots of body, bright notes, and lots of throat. The Apple AirPods are like drinking a Coke, Bright, sweet, kinda bubbly, somewhat bitter, and at volume hurts swallowing a little. Also, there is no comparison with the ANC on the Bose compared to every brand of earpods, Bose invented ANC back in 1986 and mastered it. So.. IMHO. " There is no comparing Apples to Boses " ( oranges ) ;-) Coke or Espresso. Drink up!

The link in the description for the airpods pro 2 is linking to the regular airpods 2nd gen. Excellent review from DMS as always.

Bose can charge via Cable, Airpods can charge via Lightning and Wireless. Who wins here? The Bose are great, the Airpods Pro are great, it all depends on your Preferences. I own both, and both have advantages and disadvantages. There is no perfect earbuds yet. Both are not "audiophile", but solid performers in everyday use.

My tests on transparency showed the exact same. Both are fantastic.

I have the Bose ones and the noise cancellation is heavenly when I am trying to focus at work. My husband has the APs and I tested his. My opinion is the Bose are a clear noise cancellation winner. Sound on both is very good. I am extremely happy with my Bose II

Just pick up AP2 for my wife today I also pick up Bose QC 2 for me both amazing sound
We are done with ear Buds
Till next year 😅😅

These definitely have a great use case for audiophiles and your everyday music lover. Love turning to these when I’m flying, at the gym, or grocery shopping. Could see IEMs being better for quieter places like in a waiting room.

I'm still sitting on the fence between these two. I want great transparency mode (AP Pro 2's for the win from what I hear), but I also want decent bass (Bose!). I want to be able to ride a bike in traffic whilst listening to music, but safely. I've tried Aftershox and found them very underwhelming. On the flipside, I've got a pair of Jabra elite 75t actives (which I love the sound of), but there's no way I would ride with them- transparency isn't good enough.

I hope you'll do a Bathys Review :D

AirPods Pro 2’s are awesome on planes. They just cut everything out. Unexpected, and much better than 1st gen. The audio is terrific; genuinely entertaining.

[CakeSublime]

I like the Bose Earbuds II, but the touch controls are atrocious. If I switch to iPhone I'll probably buy airpods pro 2 to replace them.

[HobbyTalk]

That thumbnail! So good… would like to see a little more “blue steel” in the next one though ;)

[Losbass]

My first AirPods, and I’m really digging them! The convenience factor is great, and decent sounding. I think the price is right for what they offer.

[splinterstreetrat]

Great vid, i upgraded from the gen 1 to the gen 2 a few days ago and im very happy with the upgrade the audio just sounds richer than the gen 1. and the noise cancelling is great better than gen 1 for sure

[chamade]

Bought both, ended up returning the Bose because the comfort/portability of the AP2 is better and in this category that's what maters a lot to me. ANC is is really good on both, but AP2 are able to get more silent. The sub bass of the Bose is more fun.

[goldwerger]

I’d be very curious to get your thought how these compare to the Sennheiser MOMENTUM True Wireless 3? Thank you 🙏

I gotta stay I had 1st gen AirPod pros and was looking to upgrade, I tried the Bose qc2s and returned them within hours. The transparency mode is 6/10 as good as Apple but the anc was slightly better im talking slightly. Sound quality was honestly disappointing considering they cost $50 I thought overall they sounded worse than my original AirPods. So I got the 2nd gen AirPod pros and they are an easy win over the Bose. Anyone who says otherwise is an Apple hater or never actually tried 2nd gen AirPod pros because there no competition unless a custom eq means that much.

Finally a review that gives truly useful and unbiased information about these 2 new NC earphones. Thank you. Well done!

[thetndixie]

One type c cable for everything would be outstanding! Great video:)
