While the AirPods' battery lasts less than the Bose's 6.7-hour playback time, the AirPods have a charge more in their case, meaning they have a slightly higher total battery life. They're also slightly more stable, meaning they're less likely to fall off during a workout. These headphones also have similar comfort, so you can wear them for long listening sessions without feeling much fatigue. While their stem is thicker, it's a bit of an advantage as the control surface is also larger, making inputs easier. On the upside, their companion app features three ANC settings and a graphic EQ with presets for optimal personalization. This added bass is good if you like genres like hip-hop or EDM but also muddies vocals and instruments. The shape of our test rig's ear canal affects their bass delivery, and subjectively, they have extra boom, which isn't captured in our graphs.

They have a more bass-heavy sound than what we measured. These in-ears rival the premium Apple AirPods Pro (2nd generation) Truly Wireless, with better active noise cancellation (ANC) to block out more background noise across the entire range. The best alternative to AirPods we've tested are the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II Truly Wireless.
