The Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds offer superior overall sound quality, better noise isolation, and active noise cancelling, making them ideal for immersive music experiences and air travel. They also have more advanced features like an app equalizer and app controls customization. However, they are more expensive and have a lower battery life compared to Raycon The Everyday Earbuds. The Raycon earbuds are more affordable, more compact, and offer a longer battery life, which may be attractive for everyday use and exercise, despite having less advanced sound and features.

"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."
"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."
