If you prioritize comfort and noise isolation, especially for travel, the Bose Quiet Comfort 45 headphones excel with their renowned over-ear design and strong active noise cancellation. However, they are more expensive compared to the Earfun Air Pro 2. Alternatively, if cost and portability are significant factors, and you are interested in a sweatproof option with the convenience of wireless charging, the Earfun Air Pro 2 earbuds could be the better choice, while still providing good sound quality and battery life. Keep in mind that the Earfun earbuds may not match the Bose headphones in terms of overall comfort and noise isolation. Give Feedback

"If you want a set of wireless over-ear headphones you can put on, deploy noise-cancelling on your commute or at your desk and largely extinguish the outside world for up to 24 hours, the Bose QC 45 has the edge over most of the competition at the price."

"There’s a lot to like about EarFun Air Pro 2. The best thing about them is the active noise cancellation, which works almost as well as the best true wireless earbuds out there. The audio quality is funky but enjoyable. Good dynamics and a wider soundstage save its presentation. Everyone, apart from the most diehard audiophiles, should be happy with it."
