If portability and convenience for use during exercise or travel matter most to you, choose the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds; they are stemless earbuds with excellent noise isolation, good sound quality, and are sweatproof, making them ideal for active use. However, if you prioritize sound quality and experience for activities like gaming, TV, and professional calls, and don't mind the size and weight, the over-ear Master & Dynamic MW75-Neuro headphones would serve you better with superior sound, build quality, and unique features like AI technology for mental health and focus tracking, although they come at a higher price. Keep in mind the MW75-Neuro is not optimized for exercise and is less portable. Both offer good battery life and quick charging, but only the Bose supports wireless charging. Give Feedback

"Bose put the time in to fix the major issues with the previous earbuds, and the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds are very befitting of its price point. While you might be tempted to save a few bucks and go with the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II on sale, fight the urge. There are enough upgrades here to justify the newer model."
