Apple AirPods Pro vs Bose QC Earbuds | Can Bose Beat Apple?

The new Bose QuietComfort Earbuds deliver premium sound quality and top-tier noise-canceling for an all-around great pair of true-wireless earbuds. The question is: do they have what it takes to compete with Apple's AirPods Pro?
Comparing the AirPods Pro vs Bose QC Earbuds is not just about which one has the best sound quality, call quality, or noise canceling. The Bose earbuds are big and that may be a deal breaker for some. Apple's small form factor makes for a easy to carry charging case, where the Bose wireless charging case is again, big. If battery life is a factor then you may opt for the AirPods.
It's time for Bose QC Earbuds vs Apple AirPods Pro.

[@Caleb_Denison]

A few notes not mentioned in the video: The Bose QC Earbuds are not capable of multi-point connection. They will store up to seven devices in their device list and pair to any of them automatically, starting with the most recently used device, but you can only get audio from one device at a time, so no pairing to phone and laptop and switching automatically to a phone call when it comes in. Also, you CAN use just one bud at a time for calls or video conferencing, if you like. Just place one of the buds in the case. Audio will temporarily suspend as they do sense when they are removed from the ears and auto-pause. Finally, the buds are IPX4 rated, meaning they will handle light rain, splashes and a little sweat, but don't submerge them in water for any amount of time. Anything else not make it to the video? Let me know and I'll reply.

Owning both the Bose QC earbuds and the Apple Airpods Pro, I couldn't agree more with this review. I owned the Airpods since the day they cake our last November, but I've only used them once since the Bose arrived. The sound quality & noise cancelling are just leaps and bounds better...

[@marooishere2801]

[@vijith555]

Nice review and good comparison. I have to add to anyone comparing sound quality against the airpods pro out of the box they are set to be very flat and most users will not know that Apple has provided a custom audio setup in the settings which will take you through a wizard and it will adjust the sound quality of the airpods pro to have a lot better high and lows. You can also adjust this by turning on 'Headphone Accommodations' which is under Audio/Visual in Accessibility settings. Once here make sure you set the tune audio for 'Balanced Tone' and keep the slider at 'Slight'. You will be amazed how good the airpods pro sound after this. It takes the blanket off the sound that comes by default. Not sure why Apple keeps this hidden but if someone did run the custom audio setup wizard they end up having these settings applied automatically too. I used to have a Samsung Galaxy Buds+ and with this setting, the Airpods Pro sounds even better and more powerful. Also the Spatial Audio that was introduced after this review is something that is truly amazing. The instrument separation and staging when listening to music and watching movies with a surround effect as it supports all that.

The are not though. If you are talking about sound quality, Bose has never been an audiophile company. In fact, many audiophiles think both Bose and beats really bad. QC series is, however, a very good consumer over-ear headphone.

[@AaronFigFront]

@Young Black Conservativeyes, in terms of sound quality for a consumer product. Usability is still way better for AirPods Pro.

[@k0618202]

Excellent review.

[@matthewkopf6243]

I’ve tried a few different wireless earbuds including the AirPods Pro’s, which I really wanted to work, but they refused to stay in my ears, which drives me crazy. The Bose isn’t perfect, but the fins allow them to stay put. I wish they had a smaller case and multi device connection. However the worst thing about them, that I would like changed the most is the case button. I take my buds in and out often and I find the button on the case tricky to open. You have to push the small narrow button in just the right amount for it to open. I have larger fingers and it is very annoying to try to open the case. So much so that I seriously consider returning them, since it truly interferes with the usability of this product for me. Thanks for the great videos.

[@davidbosley6059]

Great review thanks. I've always been a big Apple fan, but extremely disappointed in the Airpods Pro. They just don't fit my ears, and when I cycle and sweat, they fall out. I've just ordered the Bose QC's, and your review confirmed my decision, looking forward to seeing if they work out for me!

[@Nada-ei2sv]

Did they workout?

[@Annamalaibatsha]

Thank you so much. I am on the verge to upgrade my first generation airpod to pro but after watching this video I'd really like to buy the Bose. I've had good experience with Bose systems at home and very impressed with the level of detail you shared. It's pricey. But since I am going to use it for at least 5 years I think I should choose Bose over Airpods. I am worried about hearing my own voice internally as with other in ear noise cancelling devices. When I walk with them I could hear my foot steps internally and its just annoying :-( Hope Bose won't do that - not tightly fit in my ear canal that is. Thanks for the video and I just subscribed,

[@valentineeyumsama2520]

Exquisitely objective review 👌🏾

[@ladyplum4851]

I have had the Bose Quiet control 30 for 3 years now and to be honest the sound is great. My only problem with them is the band just never sits quite right around the neck, and so has the tendency to twist around. also the on and off button is a little hard to press. Is it worth upgrading to these? I am very tempted.

[@sachinrajendran8580]

Thank you. What's the mic you are using while creating this video?

[@russellb1981]

I’ve got the Sennheiser Momentum 2’s which are very good ear buds. I wanted a good quality sounding pair of ear buds to run with. I’m a massive Apple fan, but I really don’t like the toothbrush sticking out of your ear look that the air pods give you. I also want audio quality from a company that specialises in audio quality. I tried the Sony XM3’s, really great sound quality, awful touch controls that can’t really be customised fully and for running, just terrible. I found myself poking them back in to my ears every minute of so. The pair I had also had an issue while connected to wifi, the single would drop out every minute of so, when I turned wifi off they were fine, turn wifi back on and the drops out came back. So I sent them back to Amazon, Amazon refunded me no questions, great service from them. I just purchased the Bose QC buds. WOW, the ANC blows my Sennheisers out of the water and the XM’s for that matter. Without music playing you can toggle ANC on/off on the sennheisers to see what’s it’s cutting out. The Sennheisers don’t do a good job of blocking out people talking in the background. It can only really block out low engine noises that you get when travelling on a plane. The Bose ANC is incredible, you can tell they invented ANC. You put them in and it blocks out so much outside, all different frequency levels, including people talking like I’ve never heard from any other in-ear buds. The Bose sound quality isn’t as good as the momentum’s, but they’re a close 2nd and better than the Sony’s IMO. My biggest issue with the Bose are the controls, yes you have play/pause, skip forward and ANC on/off. You can’t customise them like you can with the Sennheiser’s and Bose haven’t added to play the previous track for some reason. Sound quality - Sennheiser Long wearing comfort - Sennheiser ANC - No question Bose Controls - fully customisable Sennheiser If you want ear buds for walking around or while sitting on public transport I’d go with the Sennheisers. If you want the above and do exercise, I’d go with Bose. Sennheiser takes it most cases. Im not taking anything away from Bose. Their QC buds are still amazing and would be even better if they just added the customisable controls.

[@mahalie23]

Thanks!! For me, I've had Apple Airpods and Bose Soundsport in the past and for my ear I vastly prefer Bose. I just don't like the little ear cup (whatever you call it) no matter what size it is...tho larger, the support in the bose wing thing makes it feel really secure without feeling invasive. Really appreciate hearing both call and sound quality reviews.

I first bought a Bose Soundsport Free and its sound quality was the best till just over a year when its battery life suddenly dropped to less than an hour. At first I thought it was just my unit but later on I discovered online that A LOT of customers had the same issue and there seemed to be no long-term fix to it. I gave up on Bose after this experience and immediately went for Apple Airpods Pro.

[@titanxie5579]

Just made the purchase on the Bose. I also own Apple Airpods Pro. I have to say that you should definitely go for the Bose if you ONLY care about noise cancelling and sound quality, and NOTHING ELSE. The bluetooth connectivity technology on the Bose hasn't received any upgrade since Bose Soundsport Free. It is so not smart - forget about using the left bud while the right bud is in the case, as soon as you close the case, the left bud loses sound. Unlike the Apple buds where both buds connect to the device independently, the Left Bose bud gets signal from the Right bud. So, your Right bud must be in use for the Left one to work. Also, the wireless range is a lot less than Apple! The touch control on the Bose is a mess. The wing tips made the buds stay in ears much tighter, but not as comfortable as Bose Soundsport Free (maybe the material has changed slightly... idk). The last one, also very important, the battery management, Bose doesn't turn itself off when idle, unlike the Apple. So, you can expect the battery draws quicker. Fortunately, the case can fully charge them fairly quickly, BUT the indicator doesn't tell you whether they are fully charged or not!! ahhhhhh. Despite all of that, I still love the Bose. The noise cancelling is the BEST in its class, even better than QC35II. And the sound is just so much more engaging than the Apple buds, period. BTW, I also owns a pair of Mi earbuds (Airdots 2, I believe). only $20, and they are as smart as Apple Airpods Pro, good sounding, best fit - better than the Bose and Apple, and best battery-life, however, poor microphone, no noise cancellation. They should make to everybody's list as a secondary buds. hahaha.

[@adrianmorrish8494]

Thanks for review, I always have my AirPod Pros with me even if I take another set of buds or overhears for music like my Technics AZ70 Buds, Sony XM4 headphones. Theses could be my other pair for when I have time to really listen to music and I have the pocket /bag real estate free. But not replace my AirPods no. I can’t carry in a top shirt pocket or my little jeans pocket I need a bag to carry them.

[@Robert-bv7of]

Missing a few things like audio lag when watching videos, IPX rating, how these compare with over the ear for noise cancelling BOSE, how muffled the sound is compared to Sennheisers. I personally have always felt that BOSE muffles the mids and base tones at the expense of having stronger ANC. Maybe you can provide some more feedback?

[@juniorsegovia116]

I have both and I used to wear the pros to the gym. Let’s just say that the Bose are my go to for the gym. I run, jump, lift, etc and they never fall off. The comfort on the Bose is unmistakably improved! It is a huge improvement from the older model in weight as well. The pros would begin to fall out of my ear, even with different tips. The ANC on Bose are AMAZING and better than the pros. The sound and small details are very noticeable on the Bose as well. But don’t get me wrong. If I’m in a hurry or just want to hear some Music on the go, I sometimes take the pros. But if I had to pick, I’d go with the Bose for long term use and the pros for just an hour walk or if I have down time.

Bought em refurbished on EBay Daily Dails w/ an additional 15% off the $179 which brought them to $153 before tax w/ free shipping. Bought numerous refurb products from BOSE before. Just as good as new. 2 yr warranty. People on Zoom confirmed mic quality is still good, even if only using one earbud. Seems to be a top notch product, and for me, the fitment of the stayhear tips is unlike anything on the market. Really tough to switch to anything else once you're used to these.

Great info about both products from 2 well known companies. From my personal experience - owning several BOSE listening devices, my preference is BOSE. They've mastered the ability to reveal & reproduce music very accurately & unaltered, the way artist's & recording engineers intended. The evidence speaks for it's self, because I've attended a variety of LIVE performances / concerts - Jazz - Pops - Classical .

[@gardnerstudios6218]

Nice compare my friend. Take care everyone.

[@OTIS8883]

still using qc 30, I know it has defects on windy days, but it works really well indoors and really comfortable compared to all headphones.

[@SuperMJ57]

When it comes to music or listening to music …TV ….anything like that ….you cannot go wrong with Bose!!! I love their products!!!

[@hkhou]

Great video - The bose QC is now on sale for 279- my choise hands down for Bose

[@hoey77]

You didn’t cover transparency mode? Does the Bose have that function? Thanks

[@margaretsparksrittenhouse8787]

I listened to this video wearing my 2 day old Bose QC earbuds. The sound quality is excellent, the noise cancelling is the best in the business and I like the little jewel box. I was worried they wouldn’t stay put, but they are very secure in my ears without any discomfort. Well worth the money, I got a good deal on them from Wal-Mart.

[@Youtubeitisin]

Are Bose QC reliable? any hardware issue such as left bud stopped working etc? Thanks.

[@fireman6x9]

I currently have Powerbeats Pro. The only thing I don’t like about them is even when they are in the case, they are always on which drains the power rather quickly. Are the Bose the same way? I’m mostly a gym/running user.

[@MrBorington]

I have the Sony WF1000XM3, yes it sounds great, but after 6mos I do wish they are smaller. Many times I don’t want to bring it out with me due to its bulky size.

[@hotichor]

Nice video.. I concur...Sold my airpods pro for the bose qc earbuds ...and absolutely loving it... Now what i felt Airpods pro cons: I am not the only one who felt uncomfortable after 5mins of using airpods pro Music quality is nice and clean but dont expect too much.. ANC :it is good no doubt but again its in a mid range... Airpods pro PROS : if your want it primarily for calls then go for it best mic quality and connectivity... Spatial audio:it is just cool... Bose Cons:the big case and the battery life of the case... Can be connected to one device at a time Only right earbud can be used individually.. Bose pro: THE BEST ANC TECH AND AROUND 25%-30%more noise cancellation than AirPods Pro... The best music reproduction.. the signature bose stuff... Active EQ yeah is good because it is doing the job for you to produce the best sound ... Every instrument is crisp and clear So my friends in short if you are looking for good anc and music quality (which was my prinary concern) then go for bose and for the people out there whose ears are not accepting airpods pro(if you are feeling the pain ) then bose qc earbuds are very comfortable... None of the product is bad ..its upto you.. PS I got my airpods pro without testing so before getting bose i read every review and watch all the videos then i personally checked Sony XM3 earbuds and xm4headphone and sennheiser tw momentum 2 and bose nc700 and qc 35 II and after that i got Bose qc earbud and i am satisfied... So kindly check if possible before getting one... Peace🙂

[@87djeM]

Good choice 👍

[@haroonbizenjo9894]

Are the bose comfortable after wearing them for fee hours? The airpods have some type of small holes in them which allows air to pass through so you dont feel that pressure in the ear. Do the bose have this type of feature?

[@hotichor]

Haroon Bizenjo See for my ears bose are more comfortable than airpods...thats why i said to check them before getting one because ear shapes are different... in general too Bose are more comfortable...hence depends upon your use...mine was comfort ANC sound quality...and Bose is a clear winner

[@th79308]

Would you know about the sennheiser momentum 2 vs this particular bose ? Which one is better?

[@hotichor]

Tarique Hashmat it really depends on personal preference....i like more balanced sound and sennheiser seems to tweak vocals a bit...it is louder...ANC in Bose is better... so again do check yourself ... But in short i would say RIGHT NOW Sennheiser sound 10/10 Anc:8/10 Bose sound 9/10 Anc10/10 WHICH ONE WOULD YOU CHOOSE?

[@SimplySergMX_arts]

Got my Bose for 190 , they’re on sale atm plus I had a 10 dollar credit so I’m happy with them , love the fit much much better.

[@sugar-spice38]

New subscriber here I ordered these but the soapstone color I had the over the ones I know these are gonna be badass as well I can’t wait supposed to be getting them Wednesday

[@RLExpedition]

Thank you, well-done

[@markmata2671]

You also have to consider AirPods Pro’s spatial audio. Blew my mind when I tried it for the first time.

[@garyjones9784]

I’ve just bought a pair of Bose QC buds. I just wish you’d mentioned something about the occlusion effect. Literally went for a walk with the pooch had to turn back as the thumping effect was incredible, changed the ear wings to the smaller size not quite so bad but as I’ve bought these to walk the dog and exercise with they’ve got to go back.😢

[@Youtubeitisin]

[@dontheogre5230]

I hope you can also compare the Bose QC against the Sennheiser Momentum 2 earbuds. Or maybe just tell us which is better with the audio quality. Thanks!

[@charliebee5154]

@Young Black Conservative By whom?

[@rgsisonxrutube]

I got the AirPods Pro specifically in order to use the transparency capability plus its audiogram customisation capability with iOS 14. For my moderate high frequency hearing loss. Can I do something similar with Bose? Any news regarding less expensive or better quality buds for this purpose? Thanks.

[@calebfillippelli6661]

Thanks again for the review. Top notch. The Bose are way to secure under my sac when not in use. I’m still able to run and exercise with them resting gingerly behind my sacs (sweat proof too) Def a solid choice going with the Bose

[@tayas591]

I tried both. Bose sounds better and fits my ears better (could never get apple to stay in ear). other than that, the apple has more features that fit my lifestyle - smaller case, lighter product, active on multiple devices - and less expensive. If I had to pick one? Apple

[@YVBSV]

Is there a mute function for calls on the Bose?

[@brianclear363]

i have the previous bose and got the pro recently . I flew from london to dublin on a smaller aircraft and the bose was much better at blocking out aircraft noise. I put the airpods away that for the rest of the flight

[@andreyleskiv7984]

How do you fix the Bose from sliding out?
