The QuietComfort Earbuds offer a lot of bang for your buck – they have a longer battery life than the Ultra, more equaliser options, voice controls and wireless charging. And all for a lower price. Unfortunately they can't keep pace with the Ultra in terms of performance, but for the money they're still well worth considering.
Pros
- Comfortable fit
- Good battery life
- Solid, musical sound
- Good noise cancelling ability…
Cons
- …but not as good as the QC Ultras
- Chunky shape might not suit everyone
- No aptX support
- Call quality only okay

Thanks to their peerless noise cancellation and very good sound quality, the Ultra are some of the best wireless earbuds you can buy. True, they are outdone by their cheaper counterparts in terms of features, and the Bose Immersive Audio tech is a bit hit and miss, but in terms of performance, these come out tops. Their price is also falling by the day...
Pros
- Punchy, musical sound
- Solid, weighty bass
- Excellent ANC
- Comfortable
Cons
- Immersive Audio slashes battery life
- No wireless charging
