If you prioritize comfort and noise cancellation for travel or crowded places, the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II are the better choice, as they offer superior noise isolation and are highly rated for use during exercise and air travel. However, they are more expensive and have a shorter battery life compared to the Raycon The Everyday Earbuds. The Raycons offer a slightly longer overall battery life and are more budget-friendly, but they may not match the sound quality and features such as active noise cancelling that you get with the Bose. If gaming or watching TV is a higher priority, the Raycons have better scores in those areas, suggesting lower latency that is desirable for such activities. Give Feedback

What HiFi?
What HiFi? | September 2023
"Bose’s flagship wireless earbuds were never going to be cheap, but the question was whether they’d be competitive in an area of the market where rivals have never been more capable. The fact that the company has not only managed to implement a successful redesign, but also push the envelope for noise-cancelling and sound quality in such a highly competitive category simultaneously is truly impressive."

Parker Hall | January 2023
"Sure, every influencer owns these buds. They’re still pretty good. In this price range, getting anything that seals well in your ears for good soundstage, doesn’t sound like trash, and won’t immediately break is a huge win. The Everyday Buds tick all of those boxes for me, and I intend to use them at least nearly every day; I go to the gym on alternating evenings. Damn it, YouTube. You've cost me good money again."
