Yesterday was a big day for Apple, with the presentation not only of the new iPhone 14, but also of new accessories like the new Apple Watch and the new AirPods Pro.

The latter intends to continue to be one of the most popular alternatives in the competitive wireless headphone market, boasting significant improvements in its star feature, noise cancellation. And it’s been a while since Apple has been the best in this regard.
Bose presents AirPods Pro competitors
If you ask the experts, most will give you the same answer: Bose may have the best noise cancellation market, and now claims to have improved it, incredible as that may seem. In an announcement released just hours after the AirPods Pro was unveiled, Bose may have ruled out the main reason for switching to Apple.
The new QuietComfort II headphones won’t win any design awards, and they’re relatively chunky compared to what other manufacturers have offered. But in return, Bose promises the best noise cancellation, not just in true wireless headphones like these, but even promises to outperform over-ear headphones.
To achieve this, Bose has adopted a technology capable of scanning the inside of our ears, to adapt the sound to each auditory canal separately. We also have plenty of customization, with different ear pads and tips offering 81 different configurations to completely seal the ear off from outside noise.
For the rest, the QuietComfort Earbuds II do not present many new features compared to the previous model, both in terms of design and functionality, but they were already complete as standard, with IPX4 waterproofing, touch controls, customizable equalizer and a battery that lasts the same six hours as its predecessors (and the new AirPods Pro).
The Bose QuietComfort II headphones will be available from September in black, with a soapstone version coming later.
